Latest / Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show / Friday Madness...
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I'm here for a short time, not a long time.
- 0:02Speaker 1: It's a Friday. I can't wait to get out of here.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Oh man, Hi everybody after show podcast and yeah, just
- 0:07Speaker 1: saying hi before at the weekend, it's been a crazy Friday.
- 0:10Speaker 1: It's always crazy on Fridays. I feel like I should
- 0:13Speaker 1: get a raise and I say this with the utmost
- 0:16Speaker 1: respect that I should get a raised based on what
- 0:19Speaker 1: I do on Fridays and Billy cost it, by the way,
- 0:22Speaker 1: but I think he's doing okay, if you know what
- 0:24Speaker 1: I mean. You know, we record the countdown, so just
- 0:27Speaker 1: to give like a peak because we always talk about
- 0:30Speaker 1: like the Friday madness, but to give a peak on
- 0:33Speaker 1: how it works. Is so, Billy has been doing the
- 0:37Speaker 1: Kiss Top thirty countdown for probably thirty plus years, right,
- 0:42Speaker 1: so he can do it very quickly if he has
- 0:45Speaker 1: everything in front of him. So that's where I come
- 0:46Speaker 1: in as the producer of the countdown. So you know,
- 0:48Speaker 1: all week long, I'm building the countdown. I am doing
- 0:51Speaker 1: all the research and pulling all of the sound and
- 0:53Speaker 1: basically basically I just lay the whole thing out for him.
- 0:56Speaker 1: So on Friday mornings, you know, I'm working on it
- 0:59Speaker 1: every single day leading up to Friday. So Friday, I
- 1:01Speaker 1: come in, I get here nice and early, three point
- 1:03Speaker 1: thirty three forty five, you know, I plan the show,
- 1:07Speaker 1: get that stuff done, and then the countdown. I finish
- 1:10Speaker 1: up and I have, you know, the countdown itself, and
- 1:11Speaker 1: then I have all the research next to it. And
- 1:14Speaker 1: once we do the show prep on Fridays, so you know,
- 1:18Speaker 1: around six at by six am, we're done with the
- 1:20Speaker 1: show stuff. We start recording. And what we do is
- 1:23Speaker 1: we record during the commercials of the show, which is
- 1:27Speaker 1: actually pretty wild if you think about it in Bill's case,
- 1:32Speaker 1: because Billy has to host the show, do all of
- 1:35Speaker 1: his regular stuff news entertainment, live reads, and then also
- 1:40Speaker 1: come into my studio during commercial breaks and record the countdown.
- 1:44Speaker 1: And it's it's a lot for both of us, you know,
- 1:46Speaker 1: because we're doing two shows simultaneously. And you know, one
- 1:51Speaker 1: would argue, why don't you just wait until after the
- 1:54Speaker 1: show to do the countdown, That's a valid question. Billy
- 1:58Speaker 1: just wants to get out of here, and I want
- 1:59Speaker 1: to get out of too. You know, it just makes
- 2:01Speaker 1: more sense when the show's over everyone goes home that
- 2:03Speaker 1: we go home too. Otherwise we'd be here till like noon.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So we've just always done it like that. We have
- 2:10Speaker 1: it down to a system. But it gets really crazy
- 2:13Speaker 1: because you know, Billy comes in and records the countdown.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I have to actually produce it, so that's another whole
- 2:18Speaker 1: part of it. I have to put all the songs together.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I have to make sure everything sounds right, make sure
- 2:23Speaker 1: it's tight. It's a lot of work, so I'm working
- 2:26Speaker 1: on that at the same time as the show, so
- 2:29Speaker 1: there's just a lot going on. And when the show's
- 2:31Speaker 1: very busy, it makes it that much harder for the countdown,
- 2:35Speaker 1: and on Fridays it's really busy anyway. So that's like
- 2:37Speaker 1: a snapshot into what we do. And we literally look
- 2:41Speaker 1: at each other every single Friday when we're done and
- 2:43Speaker 1: we're like, this is actual madness what we're doing. And
- 2:47Speaker 1: I guess you'd never know as a listener to the show.
- 2:50Speaker 1: You never know that we're doing that, that we're doing
- 2:52Speaker 1: two shows at once. You know, Billy's running it out
- 2:55Speaker 1: of my studio with seconds to spare. It's actually interesting, challenging,
- 3:00Speaker 1: but a little stressful, so you can understand why on
- 3:03Speaker 1: a Friday, I just want to go home and I
- 3:05Speaker 1: just want to get my weekend going. So today I
- 3:08Speaker 1: am I have a friend coming over to look at
- 3:12Speaker 1: some house stuff for me. I have to drain my
- 3:15Speaker 1: ice bath, so I have to make sure my hose
- 3:17Speaker 1: can spit out water because it needs to be changed.
- 3:20Speaker 1: So I'll be doing that. And then tomorrow night, Billy
- 3:23Speaker 1: and I are going to a cage fighting match in Manchester,
- 3:27Speaker 1: New Hampshire. This is so random. I guess he works
- 3:30Speaker 1: with All Town Fresh for his TV show and they
- 3:33Speaker 1: sponsor one of the fighters, so they invited him and
- 3:36Speaker 1: it's in Manchester, which is near me, so he invited me,
- 3:39Speaker 1: so we got a boys' night. He's gonna pick me up.
- 3:41Speaker 1: We'll get some food or they'll have food there, and
- 3:44Speaker 1: then I think we're like cage side for this fight,
- 3:47Speaker 1: so that's gonna be cool. And then Sunday the adjusters
- 3:50Speaker 1: coming from my insurance company to give me a quote
- 3:53Speaker 1: on the damage to my house which seems to have
- 3:55Speaker 1: stopped the water. We put some holes into my bedroom sailing,
- 3:58Speaker 1: I move my sneakers, so let's hope for the best.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I did get to several talkbacks from people who have
- 4:04Speaker 1: the same issue, so I feel your pain if you
- 4:07Speaker 1: have ice dams, if you have leaks, if you're a homeowner,
- 4:11Speaker 1: I feel you. It is such a pain in the ass.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And we're getting more snow too. Sucks. But yeah, that's
- 4:17Speaker 1: my weekend. Thank you so much. Did I get any talkbacks?
- 4:20Speaker 1: I forgot to even look. Let me take a look. Care.
- 4:23Speaker 2: This message is for Katie and Justin just wanted to say.
- 4:26Speaker 1: You can going back to Katie.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Wow.
- 4:28Speaker 1: So people must listen to this podcast days after it
- 4:31Speaker 1: comes out. See in my mind, I record the podcast
- 4:35Speaker 1: and people are listening to it that day. But what
- 4:37Speaker 1: I've learned is that sometimes you know, people have different schedules,
- 4:40Speaker 1: so they listen later on interesting anyway, Katie is our
- 4:43Speaker 1: phone screener. She's very young, she's twenty two or twenty three.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I had her on to tell her story how she
- 4:48Speaker 1: got here and you know how she's trying to make
- 4:50Speaker 1: it in the business fresh out of college.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Sedulations on your podcast, Katie, you will definitely go places
- 4:57Speaker 2: in this business. It's also a great message to some
- 5:00Speaker 2: of the younger people on be engaged, talk with people,
- 5:04Speaker 2: ask questions. It could potentially open a job for you.
- 5:07Speaker 2: So just wanted to say congratulations and what a great interview.
- 5:11Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, Katie shout out to her man. She
- 5:13Speaker 1: was off today, she had a doctor's appointment. She'll be
- 5:15Speaker 1: back on Monday. She's doing her best. She's doing good,
- 5:18Speaker 1: she's showing up. She's learning and you know, learning, having
- 5:23Speaker 1: an open mind, being nice, doing all the things right
- 5:26Speaker 1: that you want to do to be successful in this
- 5:28Speaker 1: crazy world. So that's it. Have an awesome weekend. We'll
- 5:31Speaker 1: talk on Monday. Hopefully don't get a ton of snow.
- 5:34Speaker 1: We'll get some tonight into tomorrow and then Sunday and
- 5:37Speaker 1: to Monday. I just can't wait for the winter to
- 5:39Speaker 1: be over. I just want to be in a Ruba.
