STFU Little Voice... · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Yes, the after show is on. Hi guys, justin here,
0:03
Speaker 1: welcome in. Thank you as always for listening to this
0:07
Speaker 1: ridiculous podcast, which I do every day, five days a week.
0:11
Speaker 1: And you know it comes after the Billion and Lisa Show.
0:13
Speaker 1: Once it ends, I jump on here and kind of,
0:16
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes give a recap, sometimes talk about whatever
0:20
Speaker 1: the hell I want to talk about. And yesterday I
0:22
Speaker 1: had McCabe on, and he's going to Harry Styles. He's
0:25
Speaker 1: in London right now. Actually I did text them. He
0:28
Speaker 1: did not text me back, but he was on yesterday
0:30
Speaker 1: and I remembered there was a question that someone had
0:33
Speaker 1: wanted to know about him, and I thought it was
0:35
Speaker 1: his name, but it wasn't, apparently because you guys love
0:38
Speaker 1: to leave talkbacks. Then I think we had one, possibly
0:42
Speaker 1: two podcast episodes of McCabe explaining how his name is. McKay. Yeah,
0:49
Speaker 1: I should have just wrote it down. There was something
0:52
Speaker 1: I don't remember what it was. So if anybody knows
0:54
Speaker 1: that listens to this podcast and had asked for a
0:57
Speaker 1: follow up explanation of McCabe, please let me know. I'm sorry, Sarah,
1:01
Speaker 1: my brain's a little mush, but anyway, Yeah, he's in
1:04
Speaker 1: London and I don't know. Maybe i'll call him tomorrow
1:07
Speaker 1: with something and check in see how he's doing. It's
1:10
Speaker 1: a pretty cool moment for him. He's very humble about it,
1:12
Speaker 1: you know, like he didn't want to talk about it
1:14
Speaker 1: on the air, make a big deal about it, because,
1:16
Speaker 1: you know, good for you, mister radio guy gets the exclusive.
1:19
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I don't look at so much
1:21
Speaker 1: as a flex, you know, it's something that he does.
1:24
Speaker 1: Work in radio, he works in music. He works with labels,
1:26
Speaker 1: and when Harry Styles had announced a new album, he
1:29
Speaker 1: reached out to the label and said, hey, if there
1:33
Speaker 1: is anything I've never really asked for much, can I
1:36
Speaker 1: get this? And they said yeah, so good for him,
1:39
Speaker 1: and yeah, we had the Harry Styles listening event last
1:41
Speaker 1: night here. I did not go. It's very hard for
1:44
Speaker 1: me to get down at that time, you know, from Salem,
1:47
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. I mean, it's just not worth the traffic, honestly.
1:51
Speaker 1: I mean the weather was bad last night anyway, it
1:52
Speaker 1: was snowing, it was miserable out. But to drive down
1:56
Speaker 1: and then back at five six o'clock, it's it'll take out,
2:00
Speaker 1: you know, it'll take literally hours. And you know, I
2:03
Speaker 1: got to think about my wife and the kids and
2:05
Speaker 1: you know, putting that all on her plate. If I
2:07
Speaker 1: have to do it, it's fine, but you know, I
2:09
Speaker 1: tried not to avoid it. And also that's my sauna time.
2:14
Speaker 1: That's the time that I'm in the sauna and the
2:17
Speaker 1: ice bat and my whole routine, which I love. I mean,
2:20
Speaker 1: I really do love it. I love having a sauna.
2:22
Speaker 1: I can't believe I have a sauna. It's it's actually
2:24
Speaker 1: pretty wild. So shout out to New England spas who
2:27
Speaker 1: made it happen. They're they're fantastic, And you know, I
2:31
Speaker 1: never thought that I'd be able to afford the sauna
2:34
Speaker 1: in all that stuff, but you know, they gave me
2:36
Speaker 1: a little bit of a deal on it and kind
2:38
Speaker 1: of worked out. I worked out how it could be
2:40
Speaker 1: able to afford it, and I'm glad I did because
2:43
Speaker 1: it's it's super super beneficial to me, to my health,
2:46
Speaker 1: to my mental health. My sleep has improved, it's been
2:50
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to make this commercial about saunas.
2:52
Speaker 1: I just literally will talk about saunas and ice bass
2:55
Speaker 1: until infinity. So that's all. Today's Wednesday, and we have
3:00
Speaker 1: a meeting with the boss. He put that back on
3:02
Speaker 1: the schedule. We'll see how that goes. Hopefully it's good.
3:04
Speaker 1: I think it'll be good. He's been very happy with
3:06
Speaker 1: the show lately, which listen, he's the boss. He is
3:11
Speaker 1: supposed to be critical of our show. He is super
3:13
Speaker 1: complimentary typically, but when things are not going the way
3:16
Speaker 1: that they should, you know, he will come down. He will,
3:19
Speaker 1: you know, bring the whip out and and snap us
3:22
Speaker 1: back into shape. But lately he's been very happy with
3:25
Speaker 1: the show and the flow of it and the content. Well,
3:28
Speaker 1: the content he loves. He loves the content that we bring.
3:31
Speaker 1: You know, we bring a lot of content, a lot
3:33
Speaker 1: of different things, everything from music to sports. You know,
3:36
Speaker 1: that's Billy's entertainment report covers all that stuff. You know,
3:39
Speaker 1: you don't really find that anywhere else there. It's very
3:42
Speaker 1: it's very like entertainment story like read the story onto
3:46
Speaker 1: the next story. You know, we do our he does
3:48
Speaker 1: his report, We give reaction, we give commentary, we give
3:51
Speaker 1: our thoughts and opinions on each story. And it's not
3:54
Speaker 1: just entertainment, right it's sports, it's entertainment. It could be
3:59
Speaker 1: even like local news too, like the Patriots players that
4:01
Speaker 1: were partying it up at that restaurant in Boston. Right,
4:04
Speaker 1: that was an entertainment We did nine to ten on it,
4:06
Speaker 1: but we also did it in his seven to ten
4:09
Speaker 1: entertainment reports. So we gotta meet with the boss after
4:12
Speaker 1: the show today. We'll see what he has to say.
4:14
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's been very very nice lately. I mean,
4:17
Speaker 1: he's a nice guy, but meaning he's been sending a
4:20
Speaker 1: lot of texts and messages to me and to us
4:24
Speaker 1: about the show and how good it sounds, and he's
4:26
Speaker 1: happy about that. And the ratings aren't very good. So
4:29
Speaker 1: we've had some of the best ratings since the show
4:31
Speaker 1: has launched, which feels good, you know, it just it
4:35
Speaker 1: really that just means okay. So the ratings thing when
4:37
Speaker 1: it comes to radio is super weird. Right. The advantage
4:42
Speaker 1: that Kiss Went to Wait has is that people are
4:46
Speaker 1: just used to listening to it. If you grew up
4:48
Speaker 1: in Boston, you know, you put on Kiss one owight,
4:51
Speaker 1: that's what you do. But these days there's so many
4:53
Speaker 1: different options, right, Like you can put on other stations
4:55
Speaker 1: like Mix for example, which is a great show as too.
4:57
Speaker 1: Carson and Kennedy love them like awesome and they're doing
5:00
Speaker 1: really they've been doing really good because you know, and
5:03
Speaker 1: good for them, you know, like all the years that
5:05
Speaker 1: matt was here, just like reigning at number one, because
5:07
Speaker 1: you know, forty years on the radio of Mattie was crazy.
5:11
Speaker 1: But when he retired, what happened was we had a
5:13
Speaker 1: whole group of people that loved Matt and they just
5:17
Speaker 1: didn't want they didn't want what was next. They wanted
5:20
Speaker 1: to go off and see what was there. And Carson
5:22
Speaker 1: than Kenny Kennedy was there, and they got a lot
5:24
Speaker 1: of our listeners, you know, and good for them, like
5:28
Speaker 1: look about how many years right that they were on
5:31
Speaker 1: doing a show putting their best in. But you know,
5:33
Speaker 1: matt kind of had that Hey had that spot, you know,
5:37
Speaker 1: and so when that happened, they were able to benefit
5:39
Speaker 1: from that, which which everyone knew they would, you know.
5:41
Speaker 1: And some people left and some people were like, you know,
5:43
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give this new show Billy and Lisa a try,
5:46
Speaker 1: and they stayed. But the ratings thing goes up and
5:49
Speaker 1: down because it's like, this is what our boss tells us, right,
5:54
Speaker 1: people are there, people are listening, they're flipping around. Okay,
5:57
Speaker 1: so they're going from kiss one to wait, maybe they
5:59
Speaker 1: go to jam and maybe they go to Mix, maybe
6:01
Speaker 1: they go to Spotify, Maybe they go to BZ for
6:04
Speaker 1: trafficing news even though we do traffic, or maybe just news. Right,
6:07
Speaker 1: there's a big story in the news. They move around.
6:10
Speaker 1: It's our job to get them to stay. And that's
6:13
Speaker 1: where the content, how we're delivering the content, that's where
6:17
Speaker 1: that matters. Right. We want people to come and stay.
6:20
Speaker 1: That's how ratings happen. Right, it's their time spent listening.
6:24
Speaker 1: It's how long they're spending with the radio station, how
6:26
Speaker 1: long they're tuning in, and you know, that's a big
6:30
Speaker 1: part of it. So I think we've been doing a
6:32
Speaker 1: good job of that. You know, if we can't please everybody,
6:35
Speaker 1: and there's going to be content that people don't vibe with,
6:38
Speaker 1: they don't gel with it, they don't want to hear
6:40
Speaker 1: about it. Maybe I push the boundaries too much. Maybe
6:44
Speaker 1: I play something that's like, you know, maybe we do
6:47
Speaker 1: a sex story when kids are in the car. You know,
6:49
Speaker 1: that's these are things that happen we try to be
6:51
Speaker 1: mindful of. You know, we try to do more. If
6:54
Speaker 1: we have to do a kind of adult themed segment,
6:57
Speaker 1: do that after nine o'clock when the kids, you know,
7:00
Speaker 1: are in school. But let me tell you today, we
7:02
Speaker 1: did the Patriot story, which was a news story. It
7:04
Speaker 1: was trending on Boston dot com. We did it at
7:07
Speaker 1: probably seven fifteen, and we did get a complaint. You know,
7:09
Speaker 1: there was a woman in the car with her kid.
7:12
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that bad. We just did
7:13
Speaker 1: the story. Yes, strippers were a part of the story,
7:16
Speaker 1: and she was kind of upset. She called and complained,
7:18
Speaker 1: which I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that. I didn't think
7:20
Speaker 1: that we really pushed the boundary too bad there. I
7:23
Speaker 1: feel like we have done so in a worst in
7:26
Speaker 1: the past. So yeah, that's it. We're gonna meet with
7:30
Speaker 1: the boss today. We've a meeting tomorrow with all of
7:33
Speaker 1: kiss went away. A lot of meetings happened, a lot
7:35
Speaker 1: of stuff behind closed doors. You know. That's when we
7:38
Speaker 1: come up with all the you know things that we do,
7:41
Speaker 1: right the secret sound, the talkback contest. We have a
7:45
Speaker 1: lot of great things coming up leading up to the summer.
7:47
Speaker 1: You know, going into the summer is a big deal.
7:49
Speaker 1: The weather getting warmer. We have spring and then into summer.
7:53
Speaker 1: But this is how far we plan ahead. We plan
7:55
Speaker 1: ahead to the summer. Let me tell you the summer contest,
7:58
Speaker 1: or I should say, bring going into summer is gonna
8:01
Speaker 1: be wild. We had a big meeting about that yesterday,
8:03
Speaker 1: So I don't know, just giving you guys a behind
8:05
Speaker 1: the scenes of what happened to Kiss one O eight.
8:07
Speaker 1: You can always ask questions or if you have comments,
8:09
Speaker 1: you can always leave talkbacks. I'd love to get those,
8:12
Speaker 1: like Sarah did at the beginning of the podcast. So
8:15
Speaker 1: I don't know. I started my training for high Rocks
8:18
Speaker 1: this week. If you don't know, I've been doing high Rocks.
8:20
Speaker 1: Shout out to drive Custom Fit. That's the gym up
8:24
Speaker 1: there and in my house that I've been a member
8:26
Speaker 1: of for several months. I joined there because a dear
8:28
Speaker 1: friend of mine who I really love, goes there and
8:32
Speaker 1: I was so anti classes, you know, because I'm so
8:34
Speaker 1: accustomed to the bodybuilding. You know, it's chess day, it's
8:39
Speaker 1: back day, you know, et cetera, et cetera, with some cardio,
8:43
Speaker 1: and he got me to try a class there and
8:46
Speaker 1: I just fell in love with it. You know. It
8:48
Speaker 1: was called a shred class, which is a heated room
8:51
Speaker 1: cycling and you know, they have an instructor, there's music,
8:54
Speaker 1: you sweat a lot but they have several different types
8:57
Speaker 1: of classes. They also have like a lift class, they
8:59
Speaker 1: have a seat West class, which is like cardio and lifting,
9:04
Speaker 1: and they have yoga, and then they also have circuit classes.
9:07
Speaker 1: So I started with those other classes first and then
9:09
Speaker 1: I transitioned into the circuit classes on the weekends on Saturday.
9:14
Speaker 1: So it's basically like an hour long, high intensity hour,
9:18
Speaker 1: straight station to station, everything from you know, bicep curls
9:22
Speaker 1: to rowers to dead lifts to squats, and it's just
9:26
Speaker 1: you know, a minimut and a half of each station.
9:28
Speaker 1: So I really fell in love with that. I loved
9:31
Speaker 1: the high intensity, but also the fact that I wasn't
9:34
Speaker 1: getting injured. It was easier on my joints. You know,
9:37
Speaker 1: when you're really pushing your muscles, you know, my body hurts,
9:41
Speaker 1: and I'm dealing with a lot of that, right I
9:42
Speaker 1: have shoulder issues, my knees, my hip just from the
9:46
Speaker 1: heavy lifting and all that comes along with it. So
9:48
Speaker 1: I liked that I got a fantastic workout and did
9:51
Speaker 1: not have to you know, pay the price for it.
9:54
Speaker 1: So then on Sundays they have what's called high Rocks,
9:57
Speaker 1: which I had heard about, didn't know what it was,
9:58
Speaker 1: but it's basically a fitness race where you have several stations, right,
10:02
Speaker 1: It's kind of like circuit, but a lot of running
10:04
Speaker 1: in between. So I started doing the high rocks and
10:07
Speaker 1: I like fell in love with it. I really really did.
10:10
Speaker 1: So that friend of mine that introduced me to this
10:13
Speaker 1: gym signed us up for a race in New York
10:16
Speaker 1: in May. It's a little nerve wracking because I don't
10:20
Speaker 1: know if I'll be ready by then, especially with the running.
10:22
Speaker 1: He's going to be training for it too, But I'm
10:25
Speaker 1: gonna try, you know. So I've started the training this week,
10:28
Speaker 1: kind of running and getting used to kind of some
10:31
Speaker 1: of the hot of the station's work. So there's eight stations,
10:34
Speaker 1: but there's running in between each one, Okay, So I
10:37
Speaker 1: don't know the order of it. I think the SkiErg
10:40
Speaker 1: if you know what that is, it's the machine you
10:42
Speaker 1: pull down kind of like you're skiing. I believe that's first.
10:45
Speaker 1: But when you start one station, you have to run
10:48
Speaker 1: a kilometer, which is about a little bit more than
10:52
Speaker 1: a half a mile. Then you go to the next station,
10:54
Speaker 1: then you run another kilometer. So there's eight stations, so
10:57
Speaker 1: you have to tip basically run eight kilometers which ends
11:00
Speaker 1: at being four miles. So the running distance is not
11:04
Speaker 1: that crazy. What's crazy is that you're doing it while
11:07
Speaker 1: strength training in a sense, you know, because some of
11:10
Speaker 1: the some of the stations are sandbag lunges, wall balls,
11:15
Speaker 1: sled push sled pull rower. What am I forgetting burpie
11:21
Speaker 1: broad jumps? Like you think burpie suck? Try a burpie
11:24
Speaker 1: broad jump. You have to jump and do a burpie
11:26
Speaker 1: so you definitely have to train for it. I think
11:29
Speaker 1: my cardio is really good. The running is really the
11:31
Speaker 1: concern and being able to to do those stations while
11:36
Speaker 1: being taxed. From what I'm reading, that's the big thing.
11:39
Speaker 1: You know, you have to train for that. You have
11:41
Speaker 1: to train after you're tired, because you never do a
11:44
Speaker 1: station tie fresh right, never well the first station. I believe.
11:50
Speaker 1: I think you might have to run first. I don't know.
11:53
Speaker 1: I'm new to all this, but I believe you have
11:56
Speaker 1: to run first and then do the first station, so
11:59
Speaker 1: you know, you're never doing a station fresh like without
12:03
Speaker 1: doing something first. I believe that's true because I did
12:05
Speaker 1: read that that in a high rocks race nothing is fresh,
12:08
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I'm just gonna try something new,
12:10
Speaker 1: it'd be fun to go to New York with my friend.
12:12
Speaker 1: We're not gonna try to hit an elite time or
12:14
Speaker 1: anything like that. We're gonna go, We're gonna get through it,
12:16
Speaker 1: try our best. And then there is one in Boston,
12:19
Speaker 1: I believe in the fall, so that would be the
12:22
Speaker 1: one that would be the target, one that I would
12:24
Speaker 1: actually try to go for some good time with, you know.
12:28
Speaker 1: So I don't know, just excited about this next journey
12:30
Speaker 1: in the fitness fitness world. Man, if you know me,
12:32
Speaker 1: you know I love fitness, which is a crazy thing
12:35
Speaker 1: because I never did, right, I didn't. I didn't walk
12:37
Speaker 1: into a gym until I was thirty years old. I
12:41
Speaker 1: never worked out. I hated it. I had basically given
12:45
Speaker 1: up and accepted the fact that I would never be
12:47
Speaker 1: fit per se, that I would really always be fat,
12:50
Speaker 1: you know. And then when I joined the gym and
12:52
Speaker 1: I got into it, and I it became like an
12:54
Speaker 1: obsession of mine, and you really just make it a
12:58
Speaker 1: part of your life, you know. And of course, because
13:00
Speaker 1: of my mentality and the attict that's in me, I
13:02
Speaker 1: take everything to the extreme, but just in a general sense, right,
13:06
Speaker 1: the fact that I go to the gym you know,
13:09
Speaker 1: not every day, but you know, five six days a week.
13:12
Speaker 1: It's just a part of what I do. You know,
13:14
Speaker 1: the voice is in my head sometimes saying don't go,
13:17
Speaker 1: but I just don't listen to it. It's like the
13:19
Speaker 1: ice bath voice. It's it's that inner voice that's telling
13:22
Speaker 1: you not to do something that's gonna help you because
13:25
Speaker 1: it's gonna suck while you're doing it. Like today, I
13:28
Speaker 1: have to go run and I have to do some
13:29
Speaker 1: of these stations, and I have to do some chess
13:31
Speaker 1: work because I am doing a little bit of bodybuilding
13:33
Speaker 1: work as well, just to like, you know, keep that going.
13:36
Speaker 1: But the voice inside of me is telling me, like,
13:37
Speaker 1: don't do it. You know, my daughter has a she's
13:40
Speaker 1: a little bit under the weather, so she didn't go
13:42
Speaker 1: to school today. So it's easy for me to say,
13:44
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay home and help my wife with her,
13:47
Speaker 1: even though it's okay. I can go home, get her
13:50
Speaker 1: set up, and then go for an hour to the gym.
13:52
Speaker 1: So the little voice is always gonna be there. So
13:54
Speaker 1: if you know that voice, it's there, and you need
13:56
Speaker 1: to tell that voice to shut the fuck up, because
14:01
Speaker 1: if you listen to it, that's not good, right, But
14:03
Speaker 1: if you don't listen to it and you go through
14:05
Speaker 1: with it and you get that workout done, or you
14:07
Speaker 1: get that ice bat done or whatever, apply it to
14:09
Speaker 1: whatever's going on in your life, and you get it done,
14:13
Speaker 1: that feeling is the hit, right, that's the hit that
14:17
Speaker 1: you're going for. So I don't know if you do
14:20
Speaker 1: high rocks or if you do any kind of that training,
14:22
Speaker 1: let me know, let me a talkback. It's about time
14:25
Speaker 1: to jump into this meeting. Hopefully it's good news. I
14:27
Speaker 1: think it will be. But if not, oh well, we
14:30
Speaker 1: can take the criticism right anyway, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
14:32
Speaker 1: Bye bye,
