  Speaker 2: We did a topic time about podcasts and our favorite podcast,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: your favorite podcast. And I got some DMs and some talkbacks.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't play a bunch of them that people love
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: the after show podcast. Let's go, my friends, the after
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: show army. I love that so much. This is your
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes of the Billy and Lisa show of
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Kiss 108. The things that we cannot say on the radio.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Those things are said here.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Good example. yesterday's podcast, which I loved.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I got a ton of messages on it with Billy
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and producer Riley.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I was wowing a little bit. I know, but people
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: seem to love it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Justin, I have so much fun listening to yesterday's after
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: show podcast with.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Billy and Riley and you.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: So thumbs up.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It was great. It was amazing.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I laughed and 100% Billy should write a book.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, I 100% agree with that. He really, really should.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: He's lived such a storied life. It's so cool. You know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: we talked about that yesterday. There'll just be random celebrity
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: stories that will go over in the morning and it'll
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: just trigger a memory and he'll have a story in
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: detail because think about it. He used to travel to
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the Grammys, to the VMAs, to the Oscars. He was
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: at the OJ murder trial.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Think about that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I know that's so long ago, but that was like
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing in America back in the 90s. Billy
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: was there in the courtroom and he used to call
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: in from the payphone and So they had these pay
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: phones outside the courtroom and they were very hard to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: get to. But he like buddied up with Barbara Walters
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and was able to get to the pay phone to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: call back and to kiss one away and give real-time updates. Also,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: he called in or did something from OJ's house. He
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: climbed the wall at OJ's house. So he has so
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: many great stories. Another one that really I love because
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I'm a big hip-hop fan. He was at the VMAs
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: when Eminem brought all the other blonde kids out for–
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I think it was a real shady performance, legendary performance.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: He was there as they were– he was backstage as
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: they were bringing in all the fake Eminems. So yes,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: he should definitely, definitely write a book.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: That would be good. I'd read it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, Justin. It's Lynn. Oh, my God. I can't believe
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: you played those two clips.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Turn your mic off and.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: You work for me.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: You resurrected those and the OGs know what that is
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: all about. And hopefully you're not going to get some
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: hate back from the people that wished he was here.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Good luck with that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Have a good day. Thank you, Lynn. I'm not– you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: know what, Lynn? Turn your mic off. I just don't care.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I really don't.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It's like such old news to me. I mean it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: such old news. And at this point, you just kind
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of got to make a joke of it. It's just gone.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It's past the expiration date, that whole drama.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And that's what this is, man. We just– We have fun.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I know it was a really touchy subject and it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: is for a lot of people. I was at my
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: High Rocks event. I didn't share this on the podcast.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I went on Saturday, the day before my race, to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: watch friends race. And so I'm there and we pull
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: up to my partner. My race partner's brother was racing.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: So we were trying to find him. Finally, we see
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: they're on the ski machines, him and his wife. Shout
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: out to Dan and Molly. So we run up on
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: them and I start screaming right now. You know, you
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: got a picture of this. People all lined up there
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: screaming on their friends and their family.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like, let's go, Dan. Let's go. Let's go.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden these three women are standing there.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: They turn and look at me and they're like, Justin,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you know, like, oh my God, we recognize your voice.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: We're huge fans of kids when I wait in the show.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh my God, nice to meet you.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I give them all hugs. And then one of them goes,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and by the way, They did Maddie dirty. Lisa did
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Maddie dirty. Un-fucking-believable. They did– and I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Don't start that with me right now. And they're like, no,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: what do you mean?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Nope, nope, Justin, nope.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And then I started to like explain a little bit
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and I'm like there's two sides to every story. That's
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: what he wants you to believe. That's actually not the truth.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And so she was like, oh, really? And it was
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: hard to hear– to talk because people were screaming so
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: much that finally she just looked at me and was like,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I just love you. I love the show and I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: love you.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Gosh, he gives me a hug and I'm like, well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for listening.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But there you go. Those are the people.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: They want to– they only see one side of things.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: They don't know the whole story and I understand.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: That's your hero. You want to bow down to your hero. Yes.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I love you so much. Yeah, legendary guy.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But you got to know both sides of the story
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and also it's like Billy and Lisa never hurt anybody
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in their life.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Like come on. Let's go. What are you doing? I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: know you don't know them but you can probably get
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that idea.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: They sat there for 30 years and said nothing and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: just took it, took the beatdowns every single day.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Like come on. What are we doing right now?
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yummy going, Lynn.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Anyway, back to the fun part of the show. The
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: after show is also where you get to respond, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: should say, to questions. And one of the questions that
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I had was vacations, separate vacations or like what should
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the show start doing for 2026? The plan was to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: take separate vacations, but then it came up that that
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: would be 16.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Weeks that the show would be different.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So there would be fill-ins that are jumping in and
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that's 16 weeks of a different morning show.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So what do we think?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I would honestly much rather, like, you guys always be
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: on and have people fill in. Like, I like when
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: people fill in, like, Mikey V or Gianna or stuff. Like,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I kind of like that. But I'm
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: not turning on the radio if I know that you
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: guys are all on vacation because I don't like the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: best ofs and I've heard it all. So it's not
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: as enjoyable and it doesn't feel live.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Yep. Hey, Justin, listening to the After Show, weighing in
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: on your vacation time. 16 weeks is a lot of
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: weeks to have it be different, but what if you
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: guys did two vacations that everybody took together and did,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: you know, the best of with Riley, and then everyone
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: could take two weeks? That was up to their discretion.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: That way it's only eight weeks of difference, which I think,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know, isn't that much. It's like two times
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: a season.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Hope that's helpful.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Thanks for a great show.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for listening. I think that's how
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it's going to be. I think we're going to shoot
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: for separate vacations, but then there might be, especially in
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the summer, a week or two that we might take
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: as a whole. I think the boss wanted to just
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: spread them out more. So he didn't want to have
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: someone be filling in and then the next week or
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: even the week after have another show with a fill-in.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: He wanted to kind of put some space in between it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So we kind of all picked– we went through March
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and April. So we're good because I'm February– The end
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of February, Bill's the first week in February. He's going
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to Africa. Lisa is like mid-March. And then Riley's first
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: vacation isn't until August. So we did that so far.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: We're going to figure out the summer. The summer is
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: either going to be all together or we're going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: try our best to spread them out as much as possible.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: But I agree with you. I mean I talked about that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I don't like when my favorite shows are different. I
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: don't like it at all. And I know that– why
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: would you listen to something you already listened to before?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And I understand the purpose, right? The boss has me
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: host it because there are people that are kind of
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: casual listeners and they have no idea. I mean, honestly,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I know that like you guys listening to this, you
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: listen every day. We appreciate that. But there's a million
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: people listening every single morning, right? So there's a huge
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: chunk of those people who skip around. They go to
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: different radio stations. They're not really loyal to one morning show.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Or they don't listen all the time. So when they
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: turn it on, they may not even realize. They don't
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: even know. Actually, I do know. They have no idea that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's a rerun.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: So it's important to have the reruns, you know, the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: best of us there and me host them.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But it would be cool to have a live show
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: all year round, you know?
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Hey, Justin. I love the After Show podcast and how
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: you openly talk about the show, your personal journey and life.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: I also have to give a shout out to the
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: husbands who welcomed their in-laws into their homes. At one point,
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: we had my husband, our two kids, my parents, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: my in-laws all under one roof. It was crazy and
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: really hard at times, but I wouldn't trade it. My
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: kids gained an appreciation for the older generations and all
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: the stories we have. Those memories will always treasure. So
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: keep up the good work. We love listening to the podcast.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Thanks. Well, thank you so much. I appreciate that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And yes, we were talking about mother-in-laws, living with mother-in-laws
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: on the show yesterday.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I love my mother-in-law. She is fantastic.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: She is crazier than ever, but she has been really
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: just the best grandmother. You know, my mother's a great
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: grandmother too, but it's different because, okay, so when my
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: kids were born, you know, my mom, my wife, her
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: father passed away like 20 years ago from brain cancer.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So her dad is not around. Her mother, Nani, is
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: not married, never really remarried. So really it's just the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: two of them. So they've always lived together. So when
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: my children were born, Nani lived right next door. Then
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: we just bought a house together so she could help
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: out because Jen was in nursing school. So she started
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: living with us like in 2017. So she's been there
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: for my kids, living with my kids pretty much actually
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: their whole life.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: We had an apartment.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Jen, myself, and Abel like the first, I don't know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: year maybe of Abel's life. So they only know living
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: with Nani, their grandmother. So my mom was always a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: part of their life, but she didn't have the same
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: relationship with my kids as Nani does. Like she's a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: great grandma. They love, that's Nana Banana. That's what they
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: call her. But they don't see her all the time.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: They see Nani every single day. So my brother did
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: not have kids at that point. So it was the
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: kind of thing where my mom would always say to me,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: she's like, I just feel sad. Like I don't really
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: have what Nani has because she lives there. Well, fast forward, right?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: My brother now has two children who are two and
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: one or two and a half and one and a half,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: something like that. And my mother lives with them and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: she's lived with them their entire life. So now she
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: gets it. So it's just a beautiful thing because now
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: she's the grandmother that she always wanted to be to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: those children. She's helping to raise them. She's basically their nanny.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: She helps out with them. It's just really cool. She
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: lives downstairs. They live upstairs. And the kids come down.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: She helps them cleaning the house. All the things that
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Nani did for us, she did for them.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And even to this day, Nani retired and she is
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: just there to help. When my wife works, she's there.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I had shared about the Whitey Bulger book.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I shared this story about my wife and how, you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: as sick as this sounds, that Whitey Bulger's girlfriend, Catherine Grieg,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that he went on the run with, that I read
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the book and when they was talking about his life
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: on the run and he granted this guy's a mass murderous,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I'm a serial killer, like complete monster. But I was
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: reading the book and it really went into their life
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: on the run and how she protected him. It, in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: a weird way, it reminded me of my wife because,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you know, my wife loves harder than anybody that I know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: You know, I love my children and And like she
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: loves like she puts puts our children before anything else.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And I do, too, in a sense.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I don't want this to sound like I don't care
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: about my kids. But when she wakes up in the morning,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the first thing she thinks about is the kids. You know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it's that thing about even eating.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I'll eat something before I put I'll put something in
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: my mouth food before I give my kids their food.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: It's just the way it is. You know, she will
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: never she would never eat before the kids eat. I
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: never realized that until she pointed it out. And she
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: gets that from Nani. She really does. Because Nani is
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: like so dedicated to her grandkids and it's, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: they're everything to her. So, yeah, I like living with her.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: She drives me crazy. But, yeah, I wouldn't have it
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: any other way.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I really would.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And we have Nana downstairs too. So we have three,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: four generations.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: In the house.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: We have Nana and then Nana's daughter Nani and then
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Nani's daughter Jen and then Jen's daughter Gemma.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: It's really, really cool. And they're all.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Italian and they all scream and yell. You think they're
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: like screaming at each other and then you realize they're
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: just having a conversation. It's a classic Italian household with
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: plenty of good food too. Okay, what do we got? Friday,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: on my way to get a haircut, wrapping things up here.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Tonight we have trunk or treat. Last night at my
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: son's baseball game, epic, epic, epic, epic. God, I was
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: so proud. I was actually really emotional because I was
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: at the gym doing some Stairmaster.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I was working out.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: And I have to do these long sessions, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: for High Rocks. So it's a lot of time. You know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I had to do an hour on the Stairmaster. So,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm on there and I'm stepping. And one
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of the things that helps me pass the time is
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: watching Instagram Reels.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And now my.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Algorithm is all, you know, kind of dad, son, wife, fitness,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: High Rocks. It's kind of a mix of all those things.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And I was there right before my son's baseball game.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: So I was at the gym. Then I had to leave,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: pick up my daughter, get my son, go home, shower,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and then off to his baseball game.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm watching Reels.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I posted one on my Instagram story, just a quick
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: one of a guy running, talking about being a good
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: example to his son. But then I stumbled upon this one.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you, I talked about this on
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the radio recently about one thing you might not know
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: about me is like the emotions that I feel.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: It's got to be like a middle-aged thing. where I
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: find myself getting emotional and crying over like things. It
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: could be stupid things, silly things, reels, movies. I never
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: cried ever. Like I went years without it. And a
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: lot of that was kind of putting the wall up,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the mask, you know, God forbid men don't cry. You know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: those are the kind of the thoughts and the beliefs
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: that I had. But now all of a sudden I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: find myself like welling up to things, especially when it
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: has to do with my children and my son. And
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: this reel popped up on there. And so I'm at
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the gym on the stand. I said, I stopped like,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: It's like crying. And the cleaning dude was right next
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to me wiping down the treadmill. And I'm like literally
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: covering my eyes with a towel as if I'm wiping
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the sweat away. But I was actually crying because I
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: was so emotional. I want to play it for you.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: It's this one. This one took me out.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: His dad comes home from work really exhausted. This five-year-old
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: kid is waiting for him at the door. As soon
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: as his dad walks in, his son says, Dad, I'm
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: so glad you're home. I have a question for you.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Can I ask you? And his dad says, yeah, go ahead.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: He says, hey, how much do you make an hour?
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: And the dad gets a little frustrated. He's like, why
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: are you asking me that? That's a personal question. He's like, oh,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: I just want to know. And he just kept pestering
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: his dad. Like, hey, how much do you make an hour?
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: And after like a couple of minutes, he said, fine,
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: if you need to know how much I make an hour,
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: I make $ 100. dollars an hour. The kid put his
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: head down and he's like, man, that's a lot of money.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: And then he says, well, dad, can I have $ 50?
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: And then the dad said, did you just ask me
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: how much I make so you can ask for money?
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: I don't work so hard so you can be selfish.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: You just march upstairs and just go to bed. And
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: so the dad goes to sit down and he kind
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: of cools down. He starts to think to himself, like,
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: maybe I was a little too harsh. He really doesn't
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: ask for money. Maybe he really needed it. He goes upstairs.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: He knocks on his son's door and he says, hey, son, like,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: are you up? And he says, hey, man, I'm sorry.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: What do you need the money for? Like, here's the $ 50.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: And the kid... Like gets super excited, takes the $ 50
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: and then goes under his pillow, grabs some more money
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: that he's been saving up and starts to pull out
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: these bills and puts it on his bed. And then
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: his dad sees this. He gets even more angry. He's like,
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: I can't believe this kid asked me for more money.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: And the kid is just sitting there counting the bills.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: And the dad says, hey, what do you need the
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: money for? Like you already had money. And he says, dad,
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: I didn't have enough. See, I had 50, but I
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: needed 100.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Dad.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Can I buy an hour of your time? Could you
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: come home early tomorrow so that we could have dinner?
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: And the reason I tell you that story is because, man,
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: our family wants us, not just the stuff we can
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: provide for them. They want us. Godly men provide resources
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: and their presence. If you want to be in your
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: kid's memory tomorrow, you have.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: To be in their life today. And really, that's the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: message right there. If you want to be in your
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: kid's memory tomorrow, You have to be present today. That
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: took me out. That took me out. I want to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: be present for every moment. So I was at the
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: gym all emotional. I cleaned myself up, got my act together,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: went to baseball, and end of the game, my son
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: gets up at bat, 18 foul balls, okay? It was
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: a war. It was a duel between the pitcher and him.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: No one's ever seen that. And like a youth baseball game, 18.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: It just kept going. But there were people cheering, people
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: gathering around like, oh, my God, who's going to win
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: this duel? 18 foul balls. He was hitting them everywhere foul.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: And then he finally won the battle because he took
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: a walk. He got a walk. So whether he got
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a walk or a hit, doesn't matter. He still won
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the battle. So it was just really cool. And I
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: was standing there watching him through the fence. And I'm
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: thinking like this is being present.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I can buy him everything that I that I can
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: that he wants.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I can, you know.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Get all this cool stuff, give him these great experiences.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: But the number one thing he wants is my presence.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: He wants me to be there to spend time with him.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: He likes the cool stuff, yes, but all he really
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: wants is dad. And you know what?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: There's going to come a day where he's not going
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to want to hang out with dad anymore. So it's super, super.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Important that I'm there for him. So that almost, oof.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That almost took me out. Anyway, have a great weekend, everybody.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Send the talkbacks in. Let me know what you're doing. Questions, comments,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: always hit the talkbacks.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: All right, peace.
