  Speaker 1: God, I was back by did the night show.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I mean I did the night show here for six years.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, when did you move to half years ago? Oh
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: it's afternoons.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: During COVID twenty twenty.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so you came here in twenty fourteen.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thats about right.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So Mikey and I go way back because I was
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: working as on Seacrest on Kiss one O eight. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: was yeah, you were producing this, yeah, and then you
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: got hired for nights. You came and you were doing imaging,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: which is like the production plus plus night.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Imaging is like the job that's like you only get
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: noticed when you make a mistake image because like producing
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the promos, like right now we're giving away to know
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a conticket. Yeah, so what image you would be is
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: what you hear after we're done talking that says we're
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: giving away know a contickets and the song plays and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: explains all that. But like putting that audio together is
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: what imaging is. That's it's fun to do, but it's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of works. When I first moved here, I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was doing production on that for Kiss Went Away and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for jamming and doing the night show.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I can attest to this. Okay, I worked hard, right,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: but you it was another animal what you did, Like
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the stress that you went through to try to do
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the night show and then all the imaging in that
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: workload was absolutely insane. And I remember that you and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I bonded early because we both were hustling and both
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: not making a ton of money. No, you know, but
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: we saw we had the vision and we saw long term. See.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of times people to make the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: mistake of only looking at the short term. Why am
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I not making the money now? I need to make
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: money right now instead of down the line.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both of us put our time in. I mean
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you did it for years over at jam and I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: mean we have so many random connections that I think
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: about because you've produced with Frankie yep, my brother who
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: does Afrone John Kiss when me as the Vibros, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you produce, you're their producer unjammulated Mornington Jam and that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: was also about five.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Years ago that was out. Yeah, so that was like
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, sixteen, ten years ago. Yeah, and then also
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I produced for Frankie when on Kiss because you know
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: he's in California. But he would, you know, jump on
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: in the afternoons to fill in. Yeah, back I was.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I would send them all like prep and stuff. So
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm very connected with the Vbros.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: The third Vibro.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I don't have any fbro merch your.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Work ethics, has it for sure?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I always had a good work ethic.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I believe that. I honestly believe that hard work beats
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: talent every time. Not always it's it's but in rare
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: cases it doesn't. But hard work will beat talent nine
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: times out it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You know where I left that too is playing sports.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was never.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Like the fastest kid. I never like had this overwhelming talent.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I would outwork anybody, and I would study up and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I played college football and all that and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and that's why I learned that, like you can outwork
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: somebody else.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady is a perfect example of that. Yeah, hard
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: work beats talent. So you know what else I remember
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: from those days early on when you came here from
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Indy is, first of all, you did the imaging. You
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: were very talented. You were on the air. I wasn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: on the air at that time. But then you also
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: could cut your own hair. You remember that, I remember you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You like, I give myself a haircut, and I thought
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: that was like super cool. And I always found the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: people that can cut hair. I'm telling you have multiple talents.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: That came from. Obviously, me and Frankie both grew up
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: like broke, like a lot of us did, in bankruptcy
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and all that. But when I was in college or
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: actually out of high school, but mostly in college, I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: would cut hair to make money. So I'd be djaying
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the parties to make money, and then I would cut
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: everybody in football team's hair. And we call them five
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: dollars fades. Wow you cut, you know, but to cut
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: your own hair? Oh but yeah, then I come out here.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But that's also back to I was so cheap when
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I was when I was by the country doing radio one,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to trust the random barber. I also
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: didn't want to pay forty bucks a haircut like me. Yeah,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: so I could give back. I can do like I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not saying, it's like buzz my head. I can give
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a full fade, a line up everything that's crazy. I'm
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: going today get my haircut, and it's gonna cost forty bucks.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: That's even again more it's like fifty five at some place.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: If I get the beard, it's it's fifty bucks. Yeah,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Another thing I remember is in your studio where you
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: do the imaging, you had a DJ setup. You had turntables,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: but they weren't plugged in. And I remember being like,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: do you DJ? And You're like, yeah, I used to DJ,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and Indy I want to get back into it, so
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to find the time, but all I do
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: is work, and eventually you did, and then he became like,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you know, big DJ in Boston. You have a company too. Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was d Bunch. I mean I started off
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: as a club DJ before you even doing radio in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Boston when I was like nineteen twenty twenty one. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: then the radio thing came back around and Tjan was
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: great to open up doors and did all the clubs
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and I still do like a lot of charity events. Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you are good at it, you are for sure.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: See this weekend, did never a floor ride at Stone
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: College where I went to college, which is really cool
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: for me. That's gonna be good because I used to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: do all the parties there for years. That's where I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: feel like MIKEYV began with stone Hill and I interned
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: while that's done.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I kiss, Oh you did? You were an intern for
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Fanky who imaging at that point. I loved Spanky. Yeah,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I love Spanky so much. Oh my god.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So listen, it's very rare in radio. To work
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: in your.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Hometown never happens.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It never happens, and a lot of most cases, like you,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: you have to move around the country and hope to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: eventually make it back to your city.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Because I was in again.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I grew up and where Framingham, Massachusetts. Baby, what was
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: stone um?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: But my first radio job was in Ithaca, New York
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the nights and imaging there, and then Indianapolis, Indiana, then Detroit, Michigan.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: That I got fired in Detroit and I was moving
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay, Florida, and that's when I got the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: job offer here.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And then in Indie. Right, you were friends with Pat McAfee.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: That was my guy. Yeah, we uh yeah, we were
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: together every single day. Look at me. Pat mcfee's the biggest,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I would say, one of the biggest people in media period,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: but definitely biggest sports media guy. But yeah, he wanted
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to do me he was playing for the Colts at
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the time. He was a punter for the Colts, but
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: he wanted to do media and I would always tell him,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you make three million dollars, I make thirty grand football.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But he proved me wrong. But he would come on
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: my night show every night just for fun because he
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: wanted to learn about media. And we would do all
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: kinds of events together. He usued to do like principal
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: for a day together. Yeah, and schools could win us
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and we would go make like their high school morning
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: announcements together, like me and Pat McAfee, but both much
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: like little kids, not little kids. But we were in
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: our early twenties. Then.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Are any of these videos on YouTube?

  Speaker 1: You have his number, text once in a while, DM,
• 10:00

• 10:01
  Speaker 1: But he's so big now, I mean, I understand life
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: changes when you get that big, and he's I think
• 10:07

• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Oh so much money? Yeah, yeah, everyone goes on Pat
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: McAfee nuts. Must be cool to like see the rise
• 10:14

• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I was talking to my friend and the topic of
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: meeting artists came up working in this business, and he
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: was kind of asking different artists that I met, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: then he asked me if I have artist numbers in
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: my phone, and I said, well, mostly managers, but I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: have a couple of like famous people in my phone.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And then I said, actually, I have a good story,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: but I couldn't remember the details of it. And it
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: has to do with you and Charlie.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, because me I knew Charlie Pooth because he actually
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: used to you know, be out here a decent amount.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And then I did interviews, you know, fifteen years ago
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: when we were all way younger, so we had his number.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: We would alway be texting. And Father's Day a couple
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: of years ago. My dad has passed, as you know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but my goal at that point was very close to me.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So I went in. My uncle's name was Charlie, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: so I went to text my uncle charl like heart
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: felt like, hey, you know it's been around a couple of years,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: but even like a dad to me, I do want
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to take a second to say thank you so much

• 11:24
  Speaker 1: like when I first met him. You know, we meet
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: artists so early in the career you don't think they're
• 11:28

• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to getting back then, so it was like just a
