Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What our friends welcome in. It is the after show podcast.
- 0:03Speaker 1: I'm justin thank you as always for listening. Yeah, busy
- 0:08Speaker 1: week this week, man, will you have Bill and the
- 0:09Speaker 1: Azores and with Mikey v McKay both were on the
- 0:13Speaker 1: after Show and then DJ E Double yesterday. I was
- 0:17Speaker 1: I was thinking about that after the podcast on the
- 0:20Speaker 1: way home. That's what I love about this after show podcast.
- 0:23Speaker 1: You never know who's gonna be on. Like, I was
- 0:25Speaker 1: just gonna do it myself. I was gonna try to
- 0:27Speaker 1: get Bill, but he had TV and E Double just
- 0:30Speaker 1: walked in, so I grabbed him for the after Show
- 0:33Speaker 1: and I thought it was a really really good conversation,
- 0:36Speaker 1: especially the stuff he was talking about with his dad is,
- 0:39Speaker 1: you know, not his biological dad, the other dad, the
- 0:41Speaker 1: dad that raised him and that whole story. If you
- 0:43Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, listen to yesterday's podcast. But
- 0:46Speaker 1: I thought we really hit some some impactful things. And
- 0:49Speaker 1: you know that's the thing about this podcast. It's it's goofy,
- 0:53Speaker 1: it's funny, it's can be emotional at times. You know,
- 0:57Speaker 1: I share a lot about my life and things that
- 0:59Speaker 1: have gone on in my life because there's something about
- 1:02Speaker 1: being authentic. I really believe that, you know. I know
- 1:05Speaker 1: that on the radio on the Billy and Lisa Show,
- 1:07Speaker 1: we can't always be one hundred percent authentic, not that
- 1:09Speaker 1: we're being fake, but that's the thing about media and
- 1:13Speaker 1: radio and TV too, that's live. You know. We have commercials,
- 1:17Speaker 1: and we have a timelock that we have to kind
- 1:20Speaker 1: of adhere to, so we only have a certain amount
- 1:23Speaker 1: of time. We have to say certain certain things at
- 1:25Speaker 1: certain times, you know, such as you know, teasing and
- 1:28Speaker 1: things like that. It's just the way radio works. So
- 1:30Speaker 1: I feel like the after Show is a good place
- 1:32Speaker 1: to be different and to be a little bit more authentic,
- 1:36Speaker 1: if you will. So, and we have fun. We definitely
- 1:39Speaker 1: have fun. So I mentioned on the show today about
- 1:42Speaker 1: the barbie box that's at my house. I don't think
- 1:44Speaker 1: I have shared about that on the podcast. My wife,
- 1:48Speaker 1: I love her, I love her more than words, but
- 1:51Speaker 1: she is an insane person. And I feel like every
- 1:53Speaker 1: year when we have birthday parties, especially the last couple
- 1:57Speaker 1: with Gemma, she just outdos herself. So otoo's herself? Did
- 2:01Speaker 1: I say outdoes outdoes herself? God? Do I have a think?
- 2:06Speaker 1: I have a degree in English, A minor in English.
- 2:08Speaker 1: You never would never would have thought. So. The theme
- 2:12Speaker 1: this year for Gem's party is the Barbie. My daughter
- 2:14Speaker 1: loves Barbie, as most young girls do. She has all
- 2:17Speaker 1: the Barbie toys, the Barbie bus. You may remember last
- 2:20Speaker 1: summer she got her the Barbie camper. Well, we did
- 2:23Speaker 1: the giant power wheels camper, which, by the way, she
- 2:27Speaker 1: still doesn't drive because she's too scared to drive it.
- 2:30Speaker 1: That was her present for getting potty trained. You might
- 2:33Speaker 1: remember she said she wanted a Barbie camper. Yeah, Barbie
- 2:38Speaker 1: car camper. And I said, okay, if you go in
- 2:41Speaker 1: the potty by yourself number two, we'll get it for you.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I thought she meant the little camper, you know, the
- 2:46Speaker 1: little bus thing. No, she meant the giant one that
- 2:49Speaker 1: you can actually drive and has a kitchen attached to
- 2:52Speaker 1: the back of it. Yeah, that one that's now sitting
- 2:54Speaker 1: in my garage. Anyway, Barbie theme for the party. So
- 2:58Speaker 1: I spent all last weekend. I freaking. If I told
- 3:00Speaker 1: this story on the aeronaut on the show after show.
- 3:03Speaker 1: If I did, I apologize, I might have told Billy
- 3:06Speaker 1: and producer Riley off the air, but I cleaned my
- 3:09Speaker 1: entire garage this past weekend made it all nice and clean.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Took me both days to do it. My wife too,
- 3:14Speaker 1: she helped as well. And I have a real anxiety
- 3:17Speaker 1: with my garage because you know, I have it to
- 3:18Speaker 1: detach the garage. It's next to the pool. I have
- 3:21Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff in there, and you know, stuff
- 3:23Speaker 1: keeps getting added but then not deleted. And I cleaned
- 3:27Speaker 1: a bunch out. I had a junk guy come and
- 3:30Speaker 1: I was super proud. And wouldn't you know, Monday morning,
- 3:32Speaker 1: my wife texts me and she goes, don't kill me.
- 3:35Speaker 1: I bought something, and you know, I asked what it was.
- 3:39Speaker 1: She goes, I'll have to wait and show you. When
- 3:41Speaker 1: you get home, you'll see it. It's in the garage.
- 3:42Speaker 1: But just I'll make a deal with you. It's just
- 3:45Speaker 1: going to be here for Gem's party and then I
- 3:47Speaker 1: will sell it. And I had no idea what she
- 3:49Speaker 1: was talking about, but I instantly got anxiety. Okay, so
- 3:53Speaker 1: I get home and I actually it wasn't in the garage.
- 3:56Speaker 1: It was in her car, folded up. It is a
- 3:59Speaker 1: giant Barbie box, like like a Barbie would come in
- 4:03Speaker 1: a package like that, but life size. It's about seven
- 4:09Speaker 1: feet tall and you can stand in it and take pictures.
- 4:11Speaker 1: That's what it's for. She got it from an art
- 4:13Speaker 1: studio that was closing. She found it, I think on
- 4:15Speaker 1: Facebook marketplace. It was like, I don't even know how
- 4:18Speaker 1: much money it was, but actually I do, but I
- 4:20Speaker 1: don't want to say in case we resell it for more.
- 4:23Speaker 1: But she paid a good amount of money for it.
- 4:25Speaker 1: And they had a small one for kids and they
- 4:26Speaker 1: had a large adult size one. She didn't know which
- 4:29Speaker 1: one to get. She got the adult size one, and
- 4:31Speaker 1: so it's now sitting in my garage and it's gonna
- 4:33Speaker 1: be cool. It's gonna be dope for the party because
- 4:35Speaker 1: people can can take pictures inside of it and it
- 4:37Speaker 1: looks like you're in a Barbie box. I did take
- 4:41Speaker 1: pictures of Gemma in it, and I was gonna post it,
- 4:43Speaker 1: but she caught me before and she was like, you
- 4:45Speaker 1: are not to post this until the party. And wouldn't
- 4:49Speaker 1: you know if you listen to the show earlier. I
- 4:51Speaker 1: did go in and take a picture in my underwear
- 4:53Speaker 1: as a joke, as a joke. I don't think i'll
- 4:55Speaker 1: post it. I may post it because I am happy
- 4:57Speaker 1: with the way my legs. Look, you know how I
- 4:59Speaker 1: a the legs. But I don't know it's gonna be crazy.
- 5:02Speaker 1: She's just she's very creative, my wife, she really is.
- 5:06Speaker 1: She comes up with these ideas, especially for the kids.
- 5:08Speaker 1: You know, I always say I love my children more
- 5:11Speaker 1: than anything. My wife really shows me what real love is.
- 5:16Speaker 1: And that sounds messed up because it sounds like I
- 5:18Speaker 1: don't love my kids, but I do. It's just that
- 5:23Speaker 1: when I wake up in the morning, my first thought
- 5:26Speaker 1: is I gotta get to work. I gotta do this,
- 5:28Speaker 1: I got to do that. It's very like me, me, me,
- 5:31Speaker 1: But my wife, as soon as she wakes up, her
- 5:33Speaker 1: thought is the children. She's always thinking about the children first.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And a good example of that, which I've shared in
- 5:39Speaker 1: this podcast before, is dinner time or anytime that they're eating.
- 5:43Speaker 1: You know, I'll make the kids food, and I'll make
- 5:45Speaker 1: myself food, and I'll start eating before they do. She
- 5:47Speaker 1: would never and I know that's a mom thing. The
- 5:50Speaker 1: kids have to be all set, they have to have
- 5:52Speaker 1: their food, they have to be eating, have a drink,
- 5:55Speaker 1: be all set before she even takes a bite of
- 5:58Speaker 1: her food. And I never know this that until she
- 6:01Speaker 1: brought it up and when she said it, I thought
- 6:03Speaker 1: to myself, Man, I'm a monster, And then I realized
- 6:08Speaker 1: she's right. She's right, like I'll eat my food before
- 6:11Speaker 1: the kids eat their food. And that's just what's great
- 6:13Speaker 1: about moms, you know, She's always thinking about the children.
- 6:16Speaker 1: So Gemma's party is coming up in June's that should
- 6:19Speaker 1: be fun. And then we go to Old Orchard for
- 6:21Speaker 1: a long weekend for fourth of July because her birthday
- 6:24Speaker 1: is on July second. So we got some some things
- 6:26Speaker 1: happening in June. What else is happening in June? I'm
- 6:30Speaker 1: going to kid Cutty. I was supposed to do High
- 6:32Speaker 1: Rocks New York next weekend, but I ended up pulling out.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I am on a break from working out because my
- 6:39Speaker 1: body hurts. Yeah, I have a shoulder injury. I also
- 6:43Speaker 1: have things going on with my hips. You know, I
- 6:45Speaker 1: love high Rocks. It's actually my favorite training. You know.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I switched from bodybuilding type, you know, lifting weights and
- 6:51Speaker 1: doing cardio to more of hybrid training. And that's what
- 6:55Speaker 1: really what high Rocks is. It's a lot of high
- 6:57Speaker 1: endurance running but also strength mixed together. And I and
- 7:02Speaker 1: you know, I told you guys, I joined this new gym,
- 7:03Speaker 1: Drive Custom Fit, best gym around at Tuscan Village. But
- 7:07Speaker 1: the training, I'm still training as if I'm lifting weights,
- 7:11Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So I'm still training four or
- 7:14Speaker 1: five six days a week, but super intense, super hardcore,
- 7:19Speaker 1: like really putting a herding on my body. And it's
- 7:21Speaker 1: just getting to the point where I'm working out and
- 7:24Speaker 1: then not feeling good. You know, it's okay once I
- 7:27Speaker 1: get warm, but then after I cool down, my hips hurt.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I have a weird thing in my back. I just
- 7:33Speaker 1: have so many like little nagging injuries that are not
- 7:35Speaker 1: getting better. And so I finally had a kind of
- 7:38Speaker 1: a realization. I said, I can't do this High Rocks thing.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I'm gonna do Boston. I signed up for Boston too
- 7:43Speaker 1: in October, and I'm just gonna take a break. I'm
- 7:45Speaker 1: gonna take a long break. So I'm off I think
- 7:47Speaker 1: until June and hopefully, you know, I can kind of
- 7:50Speaker 1: get some of these nagging injuries better. You know, my shoulder,
- 7:53Speaker 1: I have a rotator crop injury where I can't really
- 7:56Speaker 1: raise my hand above my shoulder. So I have an
- 7:59Speaker 1: MRI coming up for that. I think that's on June first,
- 8:03Speaker 1: so yeah, I think I'm more into the kind of
- 8:06Speaker 1: thought process of fixing my body because you know, think
- 8:10Speaker 1: about this. You're supposed to exercise to feel better. You know,
- 8:16Speaker 1: they encourage you to exercise in any form, any fashion,
- 8:20Speaker 1: to make yourself feel better, to look better, to be
- 8:24Speaker 1: more healthy, to you know, longevity in life. And so
- 8:28Speaker 1: I'm doing that, but it's my addict mind that is
- 8:31Speaker 1: doing it so intensely. It's everything that I do, I
- 8:35Speaker 1: just get obsessed with, and fitness is a big thing
- 8:37Speaker 1: in my life that I've had a long term obsession with.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Like I have to work out. I have to work
- 8:42Speaker 1: out hard. It's not just about going and you can't
- 8:44Speaker 1: do it light. And this goes back to working out
- 8:46Speaker 1: with my friend zeb you know, pushing yourself every time,
- 8:49Speaker 1: which is what you're supposed to do. But I think
- 8:51Speaker 1: you're also supposed to take more time off, you know,
- 8:55Speaker 1: or switch it up with things like yoga and stretching.
- 8:58Speaker 1: And I do stretch. You know, shout out to Jenna.
- 9:00Speaker 1: I was there yesterday. She is seeing me every two
- 9:03Speaker 1: weeks now to try to fix my body. And you know,
- 9:06Speaker 1: Jenna was stretching me yesterday and she's like, justin you
- 9:10Speaker 1: are a disaster, like you need to you need to
- 9:14Speaker 1: fix this problem, and it's going to take taking some
- 9:18Speaker 1: time off and of course seeing her and kind of
- 9:20Speaker 1: using all of her tools that she has, you know,
- 9:22Speaker 1: because there's much more than just stretching you what she does.
- 9:26Speaker 1: She has a table that can kind of bend you around,
- 9:28Speaker 1: but she has all these kind of devices in these
- 9:31Speaker 1: positions she can put you in to hit those, you know,
- 9:34Speaker 1: parts of your body. You know, for example, I have
- 9:38Speaker 1: caught hype so many injuries. I have this weird tendonitis
- 9:41Speaker 1: in my elbow where my right elbow. When I do
- 9:44Speaker 1: a bicep curl, it hurts. It's kind of at the
- 9:46Speaker 1: bottom of my bicep. And again this is just overuse tendinitis.
- 9:51Speaker 1: So she scraped the inside of my forearm. It's all
- 9:55Speaker 1: bruised now, which sounds bad, but it's actually really good
- 9:58Speaker 1: because it feels good. So, you know, it's just working
- 10:01Speaker 1: all these tight parts of my body and trying to
- 10:03Speaker 1: hail myself. So yeah, I think taking some time off,
- 10:08Speaker 1: getting back into it slowly, but mixing it up doing
- 10:12Speaker 1: things like yoga or pilates. So they do have yoga
- 10:16Speaker 1: at drive at my gym. But then Jenna works out
- 10:18Speaker 1: of Seaworks and Studios and Windom and she is like
- 10:21Speaker 1: one of the best pilates teachers. I think it's Matt
- 10:24Speaker 1: Pilates maybe. So I'm going there Saturday. I'm going to
- 10:27Speaker 1: do a pilates class and then a heated stretch both
- 10:30Speaker 1: with her. She teaches both classes back to back, and
- 10:34Speaker 1: I think that's the move, you know, more because Okay,
- 10:37Speaker 1: I'm going to the gym and I'm working out and
- 10:38Speaker 1: I'm eating healthy for longevity. But how good is longevity? Well,
- 10:42Speaker 1: my body fucking hurts, like my hips are killing me. Man.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Oh god. So this has just been on my mind
- 10:49Speaker 1: and it's really hard for me not to work out.
- 10:52Speaker 1: It really affects my mood, you know. I've been going
- 10:54Speaker 1: home and spending some time actually with my wife, which
- 10:57Speaker 1: has been nice because she works from home. She talks
- 11:00Speaker 1: people to a screen all day and so, you know,
- 11:02Speaker 1: when the kids aren't there, she doesn't really talk to
- 11:04Speaker 1: an actual human besides Nannie downstairs. So it's been nice
- 11:08Speaker 1: that I've been home and kind of having conversations with her.
- 11:12Speaker 1: But I'm missing it. I'm definitely missing it, and I
- 11:14Speaker 1: kind of been awful a little bit. So yeah, that's
- 11:17Speaker 1: what's going on with me. If you missed the show today,
- 11:21Speaker 1: I thought it was a really really good show. You know,
- 11:23Speaker 1: we talked about the Survivor blunder last night and other
- 11:26Speaker 1: blunders that have happened on live TV, and a great
- 11:29Speaker 1: topic time about dreams. And you know, I did share
- 11:32Speaker 1: a story during that segment that actually I'd forgotten about
- 11:36Speaker 1: until the middle of the segment, and then I kind
- 11:38Speaker 1: of shared a short version of what happened, and I
- 11:40Speaker 1: may have shared it on the podcast. You know, I
- 11:42Speaker 1: don't keep track of everything that I talk about, but
- 11:45Speaker 1: this is actually a really really crazy, crazy thing. If
- 11:48Speaker 1: you've never heard it, then you can listen now. If
- 11:50Speaker 1: you have, I'm sorry. But when I got clean, when
- 11:54Speaker 1: I started to get clean in my last halfway house
- 11:57Speaker 1: that I was in was in two thousand and five.
- 12:00Speaker 1: That was in Lynn, Massachusetts, Green Street. It was called
- 12:03Speaker 1: the Ryan House. Well, so I had been in jail,
- 12:06Speaker 1: I got paroled out, I got sent to a homeless
- 12:09Speaker 1: shelter in Boston awaiting a bed in a house, and
- 12:12Speaker 1: that house ended up being the Ryan House. So that
- 12:14Speaker 1: was kind of my first really entry into recovery. And
- 12:17Speaker 1: it was at the Ryan House that I met a
- 12:19Speaker 1: good friend named John. This kid, John was my roommate.
- 12:23Speaker 1: He was he had been in the house for a
- 12:25Speaker 1: little while, so he was kind of well respected. He
- 12:28Speaker 1: had been cleaned for about four or five months. And
- 12:31Speaker 1: John was the best way to describe him. I guess
- 12:34Speaker 1: you could compare him to my friend Zeb. He was
- 12:37Speaker 1: very good looking, built in good shape, and everybody kind
- 12:40Speaker 1: of looked up to him and they respected him. And
- 12:42Speaker 1: so when I got to the house and I met
- 12:44Speaker 1: all the people, I met him, and then they assigned
- 12:46Speaker 1: me to be his roommate. We kind of like started
- 12:49Speaker 1: to film a friendship. And I'll never forget that one night,
- 12:53Speaker 1: you know, I had gone upstairs and he was getting
- 12:54Speaker 1: ready to go to bed, and I walked in and
- 12:56Speaker 1: he was on his hands and knees praying. And in recovery,
- 12:59Speaker 1: they talk about getting a higher power and like praying
- 13:02Speaker 1: to that higher power. And that doesn't mean God, be
- 13:04Speaker 1: it can mean anything that's bigger than you. You know,
- 13:06Speaker 1: it's not a religious thing, but a lot of people
- 13:08Speaker 1: use the word God. Some people use you know. You know,
- 13:11Speaker 1: my wife, her father who passed away, is her higher power. Right,
- 13:16Speaker 1: So I would never get on my knees and pray.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? God forbid anybody sees me on
- 13:22Speaker 1: my hands and knees. But I walk in and John
- 13:24Speaker 1: is on his knees. And when he was done, I
- 13:27Speaker 1: had talked to him about it, and he goes, yeah,
- 13:29Speaker 1: I pray every morning and every night, I get on
- 13:31Speaker 1: my hands and knees. And that's really what's worked for me.
- 13:33Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, Wow, if he can do it,
- 13:35Speaker 1: I could do it too. And that was kind of
- 13:37Speaker 1: the start of this really close friendship that we had
- 13:40Speaker 1: for the next several years. And then you know, I
- 13:44Speaker 1: ended up relapsing got clean in two thousand and eight,
- 13:46Speaker 1: and we kind of lost contact. Now John had a daughter,
- 13:49Speaker 1: and his daughter's name was Lindsay, and I was close
- 13:52Speaker 1: with her and his wife all Jesse as well. And
- 13:56Speaker 1: Lindsay wasn't her mom, wasn't Jesse his current wife. It
- 13:59Speaker 1: was from a a previous relationship, so I was cold.
- 14:02Speaker 1: So all of them lost contact. Okay, So fast forward
- 14:06Speaker 1: twelve years, maybe ten eleven, twelve years, and I have
- 14:10Speaker 1: this dream one night, and the dream was John and
- 14:13Speaker 1: Lindsay his daughter, and she was still twelve years old.
- 14:16Speaker 1: I think at the time, it was very vivid, and
- 14:18Speaker 1: I woke up and I couldn't stop thinking about John
- 14:20Speaker 1: and Lindsay. And so I thought to myself, this could
- 14:23Speaker 1: be a sign that I need to reach out to
- 14:26Speaker 1: him to kind of reconnect this friendship. But I didn't
- 14:29Speaker 1: have his number, and so I was talking to my
- 14:31Speaker 1: wife about it, and she said, well, you have that
- 14:32Speaker 1: old iPhone from several years ago. Why don't you plug
- 14:35Speaker 1: it in try to get it powered up. So I
- 14:36Speaker 1: did that. Sure enough, there was a number in there
- 14:39Speaker 1: for John. So I ended up texting and I said, Hey,
- 14:43Speaker 1: is this John? And he wrote back yes, and so
- 14:45Speaker 1: I called him and I said to him, hey, man,
- 14:49Speaker 1: you know I found you number on an old phone.
- 14:51Speaker 1: You know, I had a dream about you and Lindsay
- 14:55Speaker 1: last night, and you know it just got me, like,
- 14:58Speaker 1: you know, it just made me want to contact you.
- 15:01Speaker 1: And he said to me, you call it. You had
- 15:04Speaker 1: a dream about me and Lindsay, And he goes, I
- 15:07Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you. I don't know what to say. Really,
- 15:11Speaker 1: I figured you had heard the news. You know. Lindsay
- 15:15Speaker 1: is now in college and she was in another country, Europe,
- 15:20Speaker 1: and she was on a boating trip and somebody crashed
- 15:23Speaker 1: into the boat and she was killed this past weekend.
- 15:27Speaker 1: I mean I get chills thinking about it. You know,
- 15:30Speaker 1: I didn't know what to say. I almost dropped the
- 15:32Speaker 1: phone and I said, I don't know. I don't know
- 15:35Speaker 1: what's going on here, John. But I had a dream
- 15:37Speaker 1: last night and you were in it and Lindsay was
- 15:39Speaker 1: in it. There was nothing about a boat you. Lindsay
- 15:42Speaker 1: was happy, you were happy, we were hanging out, and
- 15:44Speaker 1: it really I woke up and I thought to myself,
- 15:46Speaker 1: I need to get a hold of John. Something told
- 15:48Speaker 1: me that I need to reconnect on this friendship, not
- 15:50Speaker 1: because of anything bad, but just because I love you
- 15:53Speaker 1: and I miss you, and you know, I need to
- 15:56Speaker 1: get this going. And so we had a great conversation
- 15:59Speaker 1: and yeah, sure enough, his uh we buried his daughter
- 16:02Speaker 1: that week and it was a really, really tough time
- 16:04Speaker 1: and we ended up reconnecting for a while. And now
- 16:06Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him in like a couple of years.
- 16:09Speaker 1: We still talk like on Instagram and stuff. He follows me,
- 16:11Speaker 1: I follow him. We got to do something this summer
- 16:14Speaker 1: and reconnect. He's doing great. He is sober and living
