Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Okay, let's get the snow. I'm again in podcast on
- 0:02Speaker 1: the road. What up, guys, justin here and listening to
- 0:05Speaker 1: the after show and the show just ended and here
- 0:08Speaker 1: I am. We made it in live this morning. It
- 0:11Speaker 1: was quite the weekend, quite the storm. Hopefully you stayed safe.
- 0:15Speaker 1: And uh, I think everybody got a lot of snow, right.
- 0:17Speaker 1: I think we got about two feet in sail in
- 0:19Speaker 1: New Hampshire. But lots to talk about today, lots to cover.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I am tired and only about a few hours of sleep.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I was up late watching the football game. I stayed
- 0:27Speaker 1: in the hotel right nearby. But let's back it up
- 0:31Speaker 1: a minute. So obviously the storm came down, the news
- 0:35Speaker 1: of the storm and how much snow we were getting
- 0:36Speaker 1: late last week, our boss came to us and said,
- 0:39Speaker 1: you know, do you want to a hotel? We'd really
- 0:41Speaker 1: like you to come in, but only if you're going
- 0:43Speaker 1: to be safe. We booked hotel rooms rate at Station Landing,
- 0:47Speaker 1: which is right near the radio station. And so I
- 0:50Speaker 1: wasn't gonna take it. I wasn't gonna take the hotel
- 0:53Speaker 1: and for one reason only, and that reason was the
- 0:57Speaker 1: taco bell muck bang. Yes, all my friends were gonna
- 0:59Speaker 1: come up to watch the Pats game. We had the
- 1:02Speaker 1: entire thing planned out. We're gonna get all this food.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It was gonna be glorious. But then people started backing
- 1:09Speaker 1: out and I started thinking about it, and I'm like, well,
- 1:13Speaker 1: I can come down to the hotel earlier in the day.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Sucks watch the Patriots by myself at the hotel, but
- 1:19Speaker 1: I can sleep a little bit later. And I wanted
- 1:22Speaker 1: to get up and clean the car in the morning.
- 1:24Speaker 1: That's a big thing too. I would have had to
- 1:25Speaker 1: get up at like two am clean the car off.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I probably would have shoveled the steps a little bit
- 1:30Speaker 1: and then drove down two miles an hour down ninety
- 1:33Speaker 1: three to get to work. So instead I opted for
- 1:36Speaker 1: the hotel. I made that decision on Friday afternoon. So yeah, Sunday,
- 1:43Speaker 1: I got up. I went food shopping at market Basket, which,
- 1:46Speaker 1: by the way, I went right at seven o'clock seven am,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and there was like nobody there now that could because
- 1:52Speaker 1: everyone started going on Thursday and Friday. My wife went
- 1:55Speaker 1: on Saturday and said it was a complete nightmare. But
- 1:57Speaker 1: it was easy for me. I was in and out
- 1:58Speaker 1: of the basket in like fifteen minutes, so I got
- 2:01Speaker 1: my food. I did a class at my gym drive
- 2:03Speaker 1: Custom Fit in Salem, New Hampshire. Loved that place. And
- 2:07Speaker 1: then after I got home, was packing up my things,
- 2:10Speaker 1: planning to leave around like two o'clock, and then Billy
- 2:14Speaker 1: calls and it says to me, what time are you
- 2:18Speaker 1: go into the hotel? I told him, and he said, well,
- 2:20Speaker 1: why don't you just come here and watch the game?
- 2:22Speaker 1: You can at least watch the first half and then
- 2:24Speaker 1: drive to the hotel. And I was like, did you
- 2:27Speaker 1: just invite me to your house? Now, if you listen
- 2:30Speaker 1: to this podcast and you listen to the show, and
- 2:32Speaker 1: this goes back like to the Maddie days, right, there
- 2:36Speaker 1: were days when because he never invites anybody to his house,
- 2:39Speaker 1: it's a weird thing. He doesn't think it's so weird,
- 2:41Speaker 1: but it is. Even Maddie, who you know, well they
- 2:44Speaker 1: used to be best friends, never got invited and Matt
- 2:47Speaker 1: used to get mad. He used to start off as
- 2:50Speaker 1: a joke on the show. He'd say, I never got
- 2:52Speaker 1: an invite to Bill's house. I'd never been to Bill's house.
- 2:54Speaker 1: He's been to my house. And then Maddie would like
- 2:56Speaker 1: get very moody and get very angry, all like live
- 3:00Speaker 1: on the air. It was crazy. And then you know,
- 3:03Speaker 1: obviously Matty retired and all that stuff. And I never
- 3:07Speaker 1: got an invite either. And they were like a couple
- 3:09Speaker 1: of times when there was an opportunity for me to
- 3:13Speaker 1: go to his house for whatever reason, and he always
- 3:15Speaker 1: had an excuse, and I'm like, what does he have
- 3:18Speaker 1: to hide? But not yesterday he invited me over. I
- 3:22Speaker 1: took him up on the opportunity. My muck bang got canceled.
- 3:26Speaker 1: So I headed down like at one o'clock. I got
- 3:29Speaker 1: there at two. It was treacherous coming down ninety three.
- 3:32Speaker 1: But I get to Bill's house. Now you have to understand,
- 3:35Speaker 1: Billy's condo is in an old schoolhouse. It's in Medford.
- 3:41Speaker 1: When you drive up to it, it looks like a schoolhouse,
- 3:44Speaker 1: an old schoolhouse. It's all brick. It looks like my
- 3:47Speaker 1: elementary school. Honestly, right down the street in Maldon looks
- 3:50Speaker 1: exactly like that. You would never know that there are
- 3:53Speaker 1: condos or even people living in it. So you know,
- 3:56Speaker 1: I pull around back and go in through the back door. Now,
- 3:59Speaker 1: when you go into the building, it looks like a school.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I mean it's done over like it's not old looking.
- 4:06Speaker 1: It's painted and all that stuff, but when you walk in,
- 4:10Speaker 1: it has that school feel. It's really crazy. So we
- 4:14Speaker 1: go upstairs. He's on the second floor. Now, once you
- 4:16Speaker 1: get upstairs, the corridor and now it looks more like
- 4:19Speaker 1: a condo, you know, apartment type thing. Beautiful rug right
- 4:24Speaker 1: outside the door. They have it all decorated. But you
- 4:27Speaker 1: go in, okay, and it's it's exactly how you would
- 4:31Speaker 1: imagine Billy cost this house to look super clean. Everything's
- 4:35Speaker 1: super neat, I mean beautiful, like beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. The painting,
- 4:41Speaker 1: the paint was amazing. I noticed the first thing. That's
- 4:43Speaker 1: the first thing I noticed was the red paint. It was.
- 4:45Speaker 1: It's a beautiful collar, high ceilings and very cozy. So
- 4:50Speaker 1: when you walk in, it's this kind of open concept.
- 4:52Speaker 1: They have the living room, in the dining room, in
- 4:54Speaker 1: the kitchen. It's just one big room. And then there's
- 4:57Speaker 1: an upstairs as well. So when you go upstairs, they
- 5:00Speaker 1: have a master bedroom and then Billy has his own
- 5:03Speaker 1: kind of office slash closet, and you know, when you
- 5:07Speaker 1: walk through from the master bedroom to Bill's closet, it's
- 5:11Speaker 1: just very well decorated and very clean, very cozy, Like wow, dude, like,
- 5:17Speaker 1: why did you invite me here sooner? It's almost like
- 5:20Speaker 1: you felt like he had something to hide, But there's
- 5:22Speaker 1: nothing to hide. I don't know what it is. Maybe
- 5:24Speaker 1: he just really thought that nobody wanted to go to
- 5:27Speaker 1: his house. Maybe that was it. I don't know. But
- 5:31Speaker 1: he showed me all his clothes. He has all of
- 5:33Speaker 1: his awards everywhere, a lot of pictures of the family,
- 5:36Speaker 1: a lot of pictures of Titus. The bed was like
- 5:39Speaker 1: very nicely made. I asked him who made the bed?
- 5:41Speaker 1: Of course he did look like a hotel because you know, Billy,
- 5:44Speaker 1: he's OCD. He's a clean freak. So everything looked looked amazing,
- 5:48Speaker 1: And you know, you might ask yourself, did I feel
- 5:50Speaker 1: nervous about being messy or whatever? But I didn't. They're
- 5:54Speaker 1: just I mean, they're good friends of mine. They're so welcoming.
- 5:57Speaker 1: But we get I get there, she gives me the tour.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Oh no mind you. Also, they also bought this room
- 6:05Speaker 1: on the first floor or the basement I guess where.
- 6:08Speaker 1: It's another giant room which they turned into a gym,
- 6:11Speaker 1: which is really really nice. It's like on fantastic gym.
- 6:15Speaker 1: They have a heavy bag, they have weights, they have cardio,
- 6:17Speaker 1: they have an infrared sna. They just go off New
- 6:19Speaker 1: England spas. It's really really nice. So we gave it
- 6:24Speaker 1: the tour. I looked at the gym, went back up,
- 6:25Speaker 1: says Titus was there. He is a good boy. He's
- 6:28Speaker 1: the best. He really is. He's the best. He's such
- 6:30Speaker 1: a his little his face is so precious. He came
- 6:33Speaker 1: right up to me, sat with me the whole time.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Michelle kicked it off with nachos, which were great. Then
- 6:39Speaker 1: we had wings, which I don't really eat wings with bones,
- 6:42Speaker 1: but I ate him, and they were actually really good.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Michelle was so accommodating. Everything was like boom boom boom,
- 6:49Speaker 1: you know. And then the Lentil soup came. Now Michelle
- 6:53Speaker 1: had no idea that I was talking trash on the air.
- 6:56Speaker 1: She was shocked. She read the comments on social media.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Sholl go on Billies and read them sometimes and she's like,
- 7:02Speaker 1: why is everyone talking about my lentil soup? And then
- 7:04Speaker 1: we had to tell them that I was trashing it.
- 7:05Speaker 1: But in my defense, I'm not a big soup guy.
- 7:08Speaker 1: And when Billy said Lentil soup. I was picturing, you know,
- 7:12Speaker 1: watery soup, not chili kind of soup, and this had
- 7:17Speaker 1: bison in it. It was fantastic. And I'm not just
- 7:19Speaker 1: saying that I had three balls, like I couldn't stop beating.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I kept saying, Michelle, this is amazing. And then we
- 7:25Speaker 1: just watched the game. It was fantastic. While there was
- 7:27Speaker 1: a blizzard outside. And you know, if you listen to
- 7:30Speaker 1: the show today, you probably found out that at halftime,
- 7:32Speaker 1: Billy had me cleaning his car with him, which I
- 7:34Speaker 1: did not mind. I would have done it without him helping,
- 7:37Speaker 1: you know, just for inviting me over and feeding me
- 7:40Speaker 1: and stuff. So we went outside and braved the blizzard,
- 7:43Speaker 1: cleaned off the cars, my car and his car, and
- 7:46Speaker 1: we had a lot of fun. We had a lot
- 7:47Speaker 1: of fun. It's really fun to hang out with Billy.
- 7:49Speaker 1: You know. That's one thing about Billy Costa the people.
- 7:54Speaker 1: I think a lot of people do know, but you know,
- 7:57Speaker 1: he's this guy that's been on radio and TV forever.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Everybody knows who he is, and you know, I get it.
- 8:03Speaker 1: You know, he was positioned all the time on the show,
- 8:05Speaker 1: is this like rich guy, and you know, fancy schmancy
- 8:08Speaker 1: and you know, he has all these weird quirks OCD
- 8:11Speaker 1: and he's got this big boat and that was kind
- 8:13Speaker 1: of that was the joke for years, Right, is this
- 8:15Speaker 1: rich guy Billy Costa, who you know thinks he's better
- 8:18Speaker 1: than everybody else, which is like, couldn't be further from
- 8:20Speaker 1: the truth. It really is. It's like when you meet
- 8:23Speaker 1: your heroes, you ever hear that, Like, when you meet
- 8:24Speaker 1: your heroes, you're either gonna be like happy or disappointed.
- 8:27Speaker 1: When you meet Billy, he's just a regular guy and
- 8:29Speaker 1: he plays into that character and he says things that
- 8:33Speaker 1: are kind of like, I don't know it that is,
- 8:36Speaker 1: he's just playing along I guess with the character, maybe
- 8:39Speaker 1: because he did it for so long, if that makes sense.
- 8:41Speaker 1: But really, deep down, he's a goof. He's like one
- 8:44Speaker 1: of the best dudes you'll ever meet. Man. You know,
- 8:46Speaker 1: we poke fun at him because that's what you do.
- 8:48Speaker 1: You poke fun at Billy because he's so lovable and
- 8:50Speaker 1: he's so easy to kind of just poke fun at
- 8:52Speaker 1: and pick on, which, by the way, my friends and
- 8:54Speaker 1: I that's how you know in my world you're good
- 8:56Speaker 1: friends with somebody is when you make fun of each other.
- 8:59Speaker 1: That's like true friend to us. And that's what we
- 9:02Speaker 1: do with Billy, and it's great love. I could hang
- 9:04Speaker 1: out with Bill all day, and Michelle and I get
- 9:07Speaker 1: along well because Michelle's into health and wellness and working
- 9:11Speaker 1: out and she like speaks my language. So that's what
- 9:13Speaker 1: we talk about. And then Bill just sits there and
- 9:16Speaker 1: you know, says Billy things. So when people say that
- 9:19Speaker 1: about oh, Billy car I don't like him or whatever,
- 9:22Speaker 1: you know, I get it. You know, you don't know him.
- 9:23Speaker 1: But I will say that anybody who has met Billy
- 9:26Speaker 1: I have. I have not met anybody that has met
- 9:29Speaker 1: Billy and not said talk to him and not said
- 9:31Speaker 1: that he was the nicest guy ever. You know. I
- 9:34Speaker 1: just I just haven't. So I love working with him.
- 9:36Speaker 1: He's been so good to me. He's the hardest working
- 9:39Speaker 1: guy that I know. I mean at his age, which
- 9:42Speaker 1: is like insane what he does at his age. You know,
- 9:46Speaker 1: the TV show, the radio show, he shows up. He
- 9:50Speaker 1: works harder than anybody that I know. You know, he
- 9:55Speaker 1: puts me to the test, you know, and I'm half
- 9:57Speaker 1: his age. It's wild. So that was great. I had
- 10:00Speaker 1: a great time at Billy's. I ended up staying for
- 10:02Speaker 1: the whole game, and I drove to the hotel, which
- 10:06Speaker 1: wasn't too bad. It was pretty rough though, like getting
- 10:10Speaker 1: out of the car and the wind and everything, but
- 10:12Speaker 1: got checked in, watched the second game, just chilled and
- 10:16Speaker 1: then I got up this morning around three am. I
- 10:19Speaker 1: took a shower at the hotel, walked outside to the garage,
- 10:22Speaker 1: and drove right to the radio station. It was not
- 10:24Speaker 1: bad at all. So I gotta go home and shovel
- 10:28Speaker 1: and clean all the snow that's at my house. Got
- 10:30Speaker 1: to give it a shout out to my son who
- 10:32Speaker 1: actually went out and shoveled the stairs yesterday because I
- 10:34Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be there. But my wife snowed in with
- 10:36Speaker 1: her friend, our friend Brooke and their daughter. They slept
- 10:39Speaker 1: over us. They were all there, you know, just having
- 10:42Speaker 1: a snow day. So that's good. And then producer Riley
- 10:45Speaker 1: also I should mention this. Producer Riley took the hotel.
- 10:48Speaker 1: She was gonna drive, but I said please don't, so
- 10:51Speaker 1: she came with mccab. If you were listening to the
- 10:53Speaker 1: radio at all yesterday during the Pats game yesterday afternoon,
- 10:57Speaker 1: she was alive with mccab on the air, which was
- 11:00Speaker 1: really cool. It was really cool. I have so many
- 11:04Speaker 1: memories of my early radio days and moments like this,
- 11:09Speaker 1: like big events like storms and being called to come in,
- 11:13Speaker 1: Like when the boss says, hey, I want you to
- 11:14Speaker 1: come in and be live on the air for this event,
- 11:17Speaker 1: for this thing, you always say yes. You always say yes.
- 11:20Speaker 1: So it was really cool to leave Billy's house, turn
- 11:22Speaker 1: on Kiss one to wait after the Pats won, and
- 11:25Speaker 1: McCabe morally are on the air. They're excited. They're playing
- 11:28Speaker 1: bon Jovi. They played DJ caw at all I do
- 11:31Speaker 1: is win. It sounded so it sounded so good, but
- 11:33Speaker 1: it sounds so weird. I texted McCay moraley, I'm like,
- 11:35Speaker 1: this is awesome, man, Like this is what radio is
- 11:38Speaker 1: all about. You know. This is the one thing that
- 11:40Speaker 1: radio has that like a podcast can't match, you know
- 11:44Speaker 1: what I mean, Like both have their benefits, but podcasts
- 11:47Speaker 1: are pre taped, you know, and radio is live and
- 11:50Speaker 1: in the moment. So there was a big deal that
- 11:52Speaker 1: we were able to come in where people were hunkering
- 11:54Speaker 1: down at home while people were out plowing. You know,
- 11:57Speaker 1: they can listen and you know, they can listen on
- 12:00Speaker 1: the iHeart app, which is a big deal. You know,
- 12:01Speaker 1: we pushed the iHeart app because obviously that's the future,
- 12:04Speaker 1: right if you think about it. You know, radio is
- 12:07Speaker 1: the regular radio, it'll be in your car and all
- 12:09Speaker 1: that stuff, but people listen mostly on the app. A
- 12:12Speaker 1: lot of our listening, most of our listening happens on
- 12:14Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. That's why we are always talking about it.
- 12:17Speaker 1: And then we have the talkback feature, which is a
- 12:20Speaker 1: huge part of our show, which I'm super proud of.
- 12:22Speaker 1: I'm super proud of the talkbacks. I've talked about this before.
- 12:25Speaker 1: You know, they they use our show and to show
- 12:29Speaker 1: other shows how they want the talkbacks to be used.
- 12:33Speaker 1: You know, how I'm able to and to like, you know,
- 12:35Speaker 1: weave them into the show in a funny and engaging way.
- 12:39Speaker 1: You know, I'm really really proud of that. So it
- 12:42Speaker 1: just all came together, man, you know, when the show
- 12:44Speaker 1: launched and the talkbacks, it all just came together. And
- 12:47Speaker 1: happy with uh, with where we're at. So I'm gonna
- 12:50Speaker 1: leave today. I'm gonna go home and shovel out. I'm
- 12:53Speaker 1: looking at my ring camera and it does not look fun.
- 12:55Speaker 1: So I hope everybody stayed safe. I hope everybody was
- 13:00Speaker 1: not driving to work, you know, stay home. You know,
- 13:04Speaker 1: I don't. We're not essential workers. But I do think that,
- 13:08Speaker 1: you know, the boss gave us the option. You know,
- 13:11Speaker 1: he said, you know, I'd really like you guys to
- 13:12Speaker 1: come in. Obviously, if you don't feel safe, don't come in,
- 13:15Speaker 1: you know. But when he said that, I'm like, you know,
- 13:18Speaker 1: I'm going to take the hotel. I'll take the hotel
- 13:20Speaker 1: and I'll make it in and it'll be okay. You know.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Justin. It's Mike from New Hampshire. I just want to
- 13:25Speaker 2: say I love what you're doing with the podcast Happy Friday,
- 13:28Speaker 2: but I just got to say Euphoria, oh my god,
- 13:32Speaker 2: I'm almost done season two. I watched episode five last
- 13:36Speaker 2: night when Rue was running around in the streets being
- 13:39Speaker 2: chased by cops, and good god, that show was amazing.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Thank you for turning me on to it. Good God.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Can't wait for season three.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Oh Jude, Mike, Yes, Euphoria Season three is coming out
- 13:52Speaker 1: I think in April. Fantastic show, fantastic, fantastic. I'm so
- 13:56Speaker 1: happy you mentioned that scene was India two, you know,
- 13:59Speaker 1: her trail of being a drug addict one of the
- 14:01Speaker 1: best I've ever seen in that specific scene, if you
- 14:04Speaker 1: have not watched euphor you there's a part in the
- 14:07Speaker 1: show in this last season where she is like in
- 14:10Speaker 1: the grips of addiction and she's running. I think she's
- 14:13Speaker 1: running from her mother. It's spent so long, but she's
- 14:15Speaker 1: running through traffic, and just the raw feel and the
- 14:21Speaker 1: way she acted in that part was in that scene
- 14:24Speaker 1: was just incredible. And there's so many other great scenes
- 14:26Speaker 1: on that. It's really like a it's a tough watch,
- 14:29Speaker 1: especially if you're a parent, you know, and you have
- 14:31Speaker 1: young kids, because it's about high school kids who do
- 14:34Speaker 1: drugs and have sex and all that. But it's very dark,
- 14:37Speaker 1: very gritty, but well acted and just a great show.
- 14:41Speaker 1: And it's so sad that that Feesco died. Feesco was
- 14:44Speaker 1: played by Angus Cloud, who unfortunately overdosed after a season
- 14:48Speaker 1: two ended, so he's not gonna be in season three.
- 14:51Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward to this man, it's gonna be
- 14:53Speaker 1: really great. I think it's gonna be the last season
- 14:55Speaker 1: as well. So I'm so happy you watched it, Mike.
- 14:57Speaker 1: It's a great show, really really great show. So listen,
- 15:01Speaker 1: I'm out of here. I'm going to shovel. You can
- 15:03Speaker 1: always join that you have to show with the talkback.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I would love to hear from you. I do an
- 15:06Speaker 1: after show five days a week, or I try my
- 15:09Speaker 1: best to have special guests sometimes sometimes just me chopping
- 15:12Speaker 1: it up real quick. I got to end with this,
- 15:15Speaker 1: so obviously everybody had to leave, right there's nobody in
- 15:18Speaker 1: the building. Literally, no, there's like two people. That's it,
- 15:21Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa. They left. They went home to clean
- 15:23Speaker 1: the snow. Producer Riley's here. So I said to Riley, Hey,
- 15:26Speaker 1: you want to come on and jump on for you know,
- 15:28Speaker 1: talk about yesterday and being live on the air. And
- 15:31Speaker 1: she's like, I would, but I have to get my
- 15:34Speaker 1: work done before eleven o'clock. I go, what's at eleven o'clock? Well,
- 15:39Speaker 1: it's when Harry Styles tickets go on sale from Madison
- 15:42Speaker 1: Square Guard and so she wants to get in the queue.
- 15:44Speaker 1: So she has to put the podcast up and do
- 15:46Speaker 1: all the stuff that she does after the show and
- 15:48Speaker 1: get it all done before eleven. So she's like, I
- 15:50Speaker 1: can't join your after show today because Harry Styles is
- 15:54Speaker 1: taking precedent. So wish her luck on getting the tickets
- 15:57Speaker 1: and stay safe, have fun, cleaning the snow, and we'll
- 16:00Speaker 1: talk tomorrow. By bye.
