- 0:04Speaker 2: Okay?
- 0:05Speaker 1: Yeah, well I didn't. I was sick, but I didn't
- 0:07Speaker 1: have respiratory things like cough and running nose. It was
- 0:10Speaker 1: all body aches and stomach. But I'm back.
- 0:13Speaker 2: That's worse. I think you think so well, it lasts
- 0:17Speaker 2: usually doesn't last as long. Correct, Yes, you're like fighting
- 0:22Speaker 2: for your life on a toilet, so it's.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Like, yeah, well is it better?
- 0:26Speaker 2: It was?
- 0:27Speaker 1: It was quite the scene anyway. Anyways, welcome to the
- 0:30Speaker 1: after show, everybody. Yeah, I was sick. I did not
- 0:32Speaker 1: do an after show on Thursday because I started feeling
- 0:35Speaker 1: sick Thursday. I left early. I went home, and then
- 0:39Speaker 1: things took a turn for the worse. Yes, I I
- 0:43Speaker 1: knew right when I woke up around five o'clock. I
- 0:46Speaker 1: fell asleep. At ten thirty. I went to Pliable because
- 0:49Speaker 1: I have this weird thing when I don't feel good,
- 0:51Speaker 1: I crave fruit bowls. It was fantastic.
- 0:54Speaker 2: I've never gone to that one.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, I need to go. I got the new
- 0:58Speaker 1: tele bowl, so you know it has sie and granola
- 1:02Speaker 1: and bananas and blueberries and then I got a smoothie
- 1:06Speaker 1: and also I had some protein bites.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Oh was it all good?
- 1:10Speaker 1: It's so good. It's just so expensive. It was like
- 1:12Speaker 1: fifty bucks for all time I've never gone.
- 1:16Speaker 2: They're so expensive for.
- 1:18Speaker 1: What I know. So I ate it. And then I
- 1:20Speaker 1: literally went to sleep. And you would think, well, the
- 1:22Speaker 1: gastro didn't hit yet. It was all just body aches
- 1:26Speaker 1: and fever. So I went to sleep. I slept until five.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I woke up. I couldn't even stand up. My head
- 1:31Speaker 1: hurt so bad. I was like hallucinating. I texted the boss.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I texted Billy. I'm like, I'm not coming in. Yeah,
- 1:37Speaker 1: texted you, and then I was off. On Friday, I slept,
- 1:41Speaker 1: I woke up at five, was up for probably an hour,
- 1:44Speaker 1: went back to sleep until Friday morning. I woke up
- 1:47Speaker 1: around three because I get up for work, so my
- 1:50Speaker 1: internal clock. So I got up, and I knew I
- 1:52Speaker 1: had to stay up because I knew you probably had
- 1:54Speaker 1: questions about things because you were covering for me. So
- 1:57Speaker 1: I stayed up to help you with any questions you had.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Then I went back to sleep until six o'clock at night. Friday.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Oh my god, really yep.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Then I was up for probably two or three hours
- 2:09Speaker 1: literally just laying there. Yeah, thinking about am I dying? Yeah,
- 2:14Speaker 1: thinking about my childhood, like things that happened to me
- 2:17Speaker 1: when I was six, you know, you just the crazy
- 2:20Speaker 1: thoughts that come in because you know, you take your
- 2:22Speaker 1: health for granted, and when you don't feel good, you're
- 2:25Speaker 1: at your most vulnerable and weak. So I had some crazy,
- 2:28Speaker 1: crazy thoughts and then I went back to sleep at
- 2:31Speaker 1: probably nine o'clock until seven o'clock the next morning. Yeah,
- 2:35Speaker 1: I was sick.
- 2:36Speaker 2: You were like down for the count, Like even what's
- 2:39Speaker 2: worse than down for the count? Like you're just like, yeah,
- 2:42Speaker 2: on your.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Deathbedd I just don't.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I don't know, man, And you don't get sick like that.
- 2:48Speaker 1: I don't get sick like that. And I feel like
- 2:49Speaker 1: that's a big reason why I hit me so hard, Yeah,
- 2:52Speaker 1: is because I don't usually get sick. I try to
- 2:54Speaker 1: keep my immune system good. I mean all winter long,
- 2:57Speaker 1: I was screaming about the sauna like that. I didn't
- 3:00Speaker 1: gets sick. I do the sauna every night. It's so
- 3:02Speaker 1: good for you. So all the colds and viruses and
- 3:05Speaker 1: flus that came into my house all winter for my kids,
- 3:08Speaker 1: I did not get my wife did, Nanny did, her
- 3:11Speaker 1: grandmother did. I didn't, and now I did.
- 3:14Speaker 2: But Gemma was a little bit sick. But you think
- 3:16Speaker 2: it was the same thing.
- 3:17Speaker 1: It was definitely the same thing, but it hit her
- 3:20Speaker 1: because same exact thing. Gemma had a fever last Sunday
- 3:24Speaker 1: and then she was kind of off on Monday, and
- 3:26Speaker 1: then the fever went away and then it was her stomach.
- 3:29Speaker 1: And that's the same thing that happened to me. Yeah.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I won't go into the details on that part of
- 3:32Speaker 1: it because it's unnecessary and you don't need to hear
- 3:35Speaker 1: it either. Yeah, but I'm back and I'm feeling good.
- 3:37Speaker 1: And let me tell you, yesterday it was cloudy but warm,
- 3:41Speaker 1: and it just I felt normal again. Yeah, And I
- 3:45Speaker 1: just gonna try not to take my health for granted.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So it felt good to go outside and breathe fresh air,
- 3:51Speaker 1: open the windows and get back to work. And I
- 3:54Speaker 1: was gonna say this on the air. You know, it
- 3:57Speaker 1: sounds corny to say things like I was going to
- 4:00Speaker 1: bed last night and I couldn't wait to come to work.
- 4:03Speaker 1: It was like Christmas Christmas Eve, but it was true.
- 4:07Speaker 1: It was not It was the work, but it was
- 4:09Speaker 1: also the normalcy of getting up. I mean I only
- 4:11Speaker 1: missed one day, but it was several days that I
- 4:14Speaker 1: did nothing. I didn't leave the house, which is not
- 4:16Speaker 1: like me. So I was looking forward to coming back
- 4:19Speaker 1: in today and I had a lot of fun on
- 4:21Speaker 1: the show. I had a lot of fun on the show. Yes,
- 4:25Speaker 1: So you filled in on Friday. This is why I
- 4:27Speaker 1: wanted to have you on, Yes, And how did that go?
- 4:29Speaker 1: It seemed to be because you go fine. I listened
- 4:31Speaker 1: to a couple of segments. They sounded fine, Mikey and
- 4:33Speaker 1: Gianna sat in, but I know the brunt of the
- 4:36Speaker 1: work went on you. Yeah. Yeah.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Well, sorry not to be like, yes it did, but
- 4:41Speaker 2: no it did. Yeah, behind the scenes, I feel like, yeah,
- 4:45Speaker 2: I thought it was okay. There was a lot of
- 4:47Speaker 2: and I was doing the countdown too, which I need
- 4:49Speaker 2: people to know that. So if you listen to the
- 4:50Speaker 2: countdown you were like, this sounds horrible.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Sorry, but I need get complaints.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Okay, good. I've never I've never run the countdown, and
- 4:58Speaker 2: I've never watched you do the countdown. There. I have
- 5:00Speaker 2: watched you run the show many a time, and I've
- 5:03Speaker 2: run it before a while ago when you had knee surgery.
- 5:07Speaker 2: So as much as like this is a lot of
- 5:10Speaker 2: work to take on, I knew I could do it.
- 5:12Speaker 2: The countdown is a whole other beast because I was like,
- 5:15Speaker 2: I don't even know what to be playing at certain points,
- 5:18Speaker 2: like I had no idea you had most of it done.
- 5:21Speaker 2: You are always working ahead, so I wasn't worried about that,
- 5:24Speaker 2: but I and Billy's knows what he's doing. But I
- 5:26Speaker 2: was like, I don't know how to do this, and
- 5:28Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it while running the show as well,
- 5:30Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my god. So there were
- 5:32Speaker 2: times where like at like nine ten, there was something
- 5:36Speaker 2: that we were going to talk about and then it
- 5:38Speaker 2: didn't work out because we had done it earlier or something,
- 5:40Speaker 2: and I was like, you guys need to come up
- 5:41Speaker 2: with something right now, like get out of this office.
- 5:43Speaker 2: I need you to come up with something on your own,
- 5:45Speaker 2: Like don't even talk to me about this. I don't know.
- 5:47Speaker 1: And how many times have you seen me do that?
- 5:49Speaker 2: So many sad Yeah, You'll be like please have them
- 5:52Speaker 2: think of something, and I'm like I'm trying. I really
- 5:55Speaker 2: felt like I was like I and also I I've
- 6:00Speaker 2: always watched you do this and been like, I am
- 6:02Speaker 2: learning from the best, and I think I could not
- 6:05Speaker 2: take your job, but I could do something like what
- 6:07Speaker 2: you do if I ever was to leave. And did
- 6:11Speaker 2: I think that I did a really good job on Friday, No,
- 6:14Speaker 2: because I don't do it all the time. But I
- 6:16Speaker 2: think that I could get really good at it.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Absolutely, And so it was a.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Fun little it was fun for me. I had fun,
- 6:22Speaker 2: Like I was like there were times that like I
- 6:24Speaker 2: was trying to get Billy's attention or whatever, and then
- 6:26Speaker 2: he'd throw it to me like way later than I
- 6:27Speaker 2: wanted him to, and I was like, well, now, like
- 6:29Speaker 2: what I had prepared like doesn't even work anymore because
- 6:32Speaker 2: you went't buy it. So then I'm trying to like
- 6:34Speaker 2: pivot a little bit. And there were times where I
- 6:36Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I sound like an complete idiot.
- 6:38Speaker 2: But could I get really good at it? Yes, So
- 6:41Speaker 2: it was really exciting to be like, this is something
- 6:43Speaker 2: that I genuinely think that I could do.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to say that about me, and you know,
- 6:47Speaker 1: I'm good at what I do. But a lot of
- 6:49Speaker 1: that came from practice and just doing it over and
- 6:52Speaker 1: over and improving and learning from mistakes. That's really what
- 6:55Speaker 1: it is. It's not that I'm special anything. I just
- 6:58Speaker 1: work hard, so absolutely, you can absolutely do my job.
- 7:01Speaker 2: That's it was funny though, because every the one thing
- 7:05Speaker 2: that we always talk about when you're doing your job
- 7:08Speaker 2: is that you're pulling stuff while we're on air. So
- 7:10Speaker 2: you have to remember to be changing the board, you
- 7:13Speaker 2: have to remember and make stuff out of program, hoot
- 7:15Speaker 2: it down that you're not I did.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I did hear one time.
- 7:17Speaker 2: I did it once and I was like, yeah, I
- 7:20Speaker 2: heard it because you talk about it all the time.
- 7:22Speaker 2: And then I was like because I saw Mikey be
- 7:23Speaker 2: like and I was like, oh my god. So I
- 7:25Speaker 2: tried to shut it up, but I didn't. I'm like
- 7:27Speaker 2: doing stuff, so I didn't really notice it. And then
- 7:30Speaker 2: when finally I got to play it, I was like,
- 7:31Speaker 2: sorry about that. I was so excited about this one.
- 7:33Speaker 2: I played it.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I heard that. I heard that. That was good.
- 7:37Speaker 1: But but you know what, the listener probably heard it
- 7:39Speaker 1: like I heard it. I knew what it was, but
- 7:41Speaker 1: typical listener probably didn't even.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Know what it was.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Like, what was that. I've done it too. My whole
- 7:46Speaker 1: job literally is is it's talking on the air and
- 7:48Speaker 1: just putting pots up and down. And I have one headphone,
- 7:51Speaker 1: one handphone in one air and the other not. So
- 7:54Speaker 1: I'm listening to the show and billion Lisa talking and
- 7:56Speaker 1: listening to audio and the other air, which.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Is really impressive.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, just get good at it. So I'm listening
- 8:01Speaker 1: to two things at once. So, yeah, listen, I've said
- 8:03Speaker 1: that a million times. I think that's a benefit of
- 8:05Speaker 1: what this show can offer is you know, there's not
- 8:08Speaker 1: many other shows that can do that, that can you know,
- 8:11Speaker 1: have someone to pull sound.
- 8:12Speaker 2: On the spot, and you are the best at it.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Listen. I just I'm well practiced. That's all I'll say
- 8:18Speaker 1: on that. But thank you for covering well.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Thanks for not that I wanted you to be out,
- 8:22Speaker 2: but thanks for giving me the opportunity.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought. I thought it was nice to have
- 8:26Speaker 1: Mikey and Gianna and I thought having three people to
- 8:29Speaker 1: fill one position was just a little too much, but
- 8:32Speaker 1: it was nice. It was cool to have both shows
- 8:35Speaker 1: and shows merged and.
- 8:36Speaker 2: People there was somebody left to talk back. I didn't
- 8:38Speaker 2: even get a chance to play it. So if this
- 8:39Speaker 2: was your shout out. They called it a block party,
- 8:42Speaker 2: it sounds like a block.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Party because a lot of people listen in the morning
- 8:46Speaker 1: and then they catch the b brost in the afternoon
- 8:48Speaker 1: in Gianna. Yeah, so it was probably cool to just
- 8:51Speaker 1: you know, it's like a funny thing.
- 8:52Speaker 2: It's like an episode of a crossover make show. Yeah.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, And I get that. I get that.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I love Mikey and John. They they're great, you know.
- 8:59Speaker 1: So it was only one day. Just sucks. It was
- 9:02Speaker 1: on a Friday too, because again the countdown, Well, it.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Was funny because everybody was like freaking out, like what
- 9:06Speaker 2: do we do? Billy was freaking out. You were to
- 9:09Speaker 2: the extent that you could have been freaking out, like
- 9:11Speaker 2: what do we do about the countdown?
- 9:13Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 9:14Speaker 2: And it was funny too because Dylan, our big boss,
- 9:16Speaker 2: called me and was like, you don't think that you
- 9:18Speaker 2: can do your job and Justin's job, right, And I
- 9:21Speaker 2: went no, like what are you even talking about?
- 9:25Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
- 9:27Speaker 2: No.
- 9:28Speaker 1: That was the best possible situation was to put you
- 9:31Speaker 1: in this position.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Yeah, and then have Mikey run the board.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Yes, because when you're on the board, you limited on
- 9:36Speaker 1: what you can do. You only do so much.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and he's also good about this was
- 9:41Speaker 2: funny because like, obviously me, you and Lisa and Bill
- 9:45Speaker 2: know the flow of our show, but they're coming in
- 9:48Speaker 2: and they don't know, and Mike's running the board. So
- 9:51Speaker 2: the way that we try to end stuff is always
- 9:53Speaker 2: on a laugh or like a piece of audio that
- 9:55Speaker 2: you play. And then sometimes even if the song we
- 9:57Speaker 2: try not to do this, but even if the song
- 9:59Speaker 2: is long, let the intro run. So sometimes I'd do
- 10:02Speaker 2: that where I'd be like, okay, I have audio to Mikey,
- 10:05Speaker 2: I'd play it and then it'd be like laughing, and
- 10:08Speaker 2: then he would still talk into the song, which is
- 10:10Speaker 2: fine because he's used to doing that all the pros.
- 10:13Speaker 2: But I'd be like, you're ruining my floor.
- 10:16Speaker 1: He wants to hit the post, right, which.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Is great, and he's used to doing it, so it
- 10:20Speaker 2: like it wasn't even a thought in his mind. But
- 10:22Speaker 2: I'm like, you do that, but I'm not going to
- 10:25Speaker 2: do that. I was just gonna have it end on
- 10:26Speaker 2: a laugh, like right, whatever, it doesn't matter.
- 10:28Speaker 1: I Actually I heard one way you played a talk
- 10:30Speaker 1: back into the song, yeah, and it just went into
- 10:34Speaker 1: the song.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Yeah. There were times where I'd like I'd be talking
- 10:39Speaker 2: or playing or whatever, and I'd be like, like how
- 10:41Speaker 2: you were always like yeah, pointing at me. Sorry, people
- 10:44Speaker 2: can't see what I'm doing pointing pointing through the glasses.
- 10:47Speaker 1: The cool thing about the talkbacks is a lot of
- 10:49Speaker 1: cool things about it, right, But this is for like
- 10:51Speaker 1: the og listeners of the Maddie in the Morning Show
- 10:53Speaker 1: and now the Billy and Lisa Show. The thing about
- 10:56Speaker 1: like Maddie in the Morning was Matt was a comedian.
- 10:59Speaker 1: He was That's what he did. He made people laugh.
- 11:02Speaker 1: He was so funny with the jokes on like so fast, right,
- 11:05Speaker 1: he was a comedian. So he did a show where
- 11:08Speaker 1: every single break, well not every single break, he would
- 11:11Speaker 1: most breaks have a funny joke to say at the end,
- 11:14Speaker 1: or I would give him a clip to play into it. Right,
- 11:18Speaker 1: So sometimes we have something funny to say. You know,
- 11:21Speaker 1: we're not comedians. We can't force it. So either we'll
- 11:25Speaker 1: say something funny to end it because you want to
- 11:27Speaker 1: end in a laugh, like Riley said, or I'll play
- 11:30Speaker 1: a funny clip, or I use the talkbacks. And that's
- 11:34Speaker 1: a real benefit of the talkbacks because you're letting them
- 11:37Speaker 1: be the funny on the show, you know, And I
- 11:40Speaker 1: do that a lot in topic time because I'll get
- 11:42Speaker 1: all these talkbacks and then you know, and used to
- 11:45Speaker 1: help me with this too, and you pull the talkbacks
- 11:46Speaker 1: for me before you were in that job. You know,
- 11:48Speaker 1: you find a funny one to end with. Yeah, you know,
- 11:51Speaker 1: so if we yeah, I put it to the side
- 11:54Speaker 1: so that if I need it, which sometimes I do,
- 11:56Speaker 1: but if I say something, or Billy, Lisa or you
- 11:59Speaker 1: say something that's funny, I can end there.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just organic, yeah, but sometimes you're like I
- 12:03Speaker 2: need a laugh.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Yeah, Well it's just a good way to end the
- 12:05Speaker 1: segment exactly.
- 12:07Speaker 2: That's exactly when I did it. It was during topic time.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's something that Matt was so good at.
- 12:11Speaker 1: And I remember just when I joined the show. I've
- 12:16Speaker 1: listened forebbit. When I joined the show, I really got that,
- 12:18Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, it really is cool. Sometimes it
- 12:20Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Sometimes you just got to end the segment.
- 12:23Speaker 1: You can't. That's another thing with Matt is sometimes he
- 12:25Speaker 1: would take him a while to get there, you know
- 12:27Speaker 1: what I mean, Like he wants to end on a joke,
- 12:28Speaker 1: but he can't find it, and so he'd wait for
- 12:30Speaker 1: me to give him a clip and it would be
- 12:32Speaker 1: my job to scram want and give him something to
- 12:34Speaker 1: end the segment with, you know. So anyway, thank you
- 12:37Speaker 1: so much for your your fill in time. No problem,
- 12:40Speaker 1: Sorry you probably made no extra money for that.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Well what I mean, I got in way earlier than
- 12:44Speaker 2: I normally do. I got here at three thirty.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Oh so okay, you get a.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Lot of can of lightsole with me. And literally I
- 12:50Speaker 2: walked in.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I I'm sure everything that's a good idea.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Door knob, light switch, phone, which you don't even I
- 12:57Speaker 2: mean you do use the phone, but like not all
- 12:59Speaker 2: the time. The mice your microphone. So if it smells
- 13:03Speaker 2: like lesol, that's.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Why do you take this off? Oh you sprayed it?
- 13:08Speaker 1: The people will take them off.
- 13:10Speaker 2: I actually meant to, and then I kind of so.
- 13:11Speaker 1: And during COVID they took all these from us, which
- 13:14Speaker 1: makes sense. They're like wind things, you know, to stop.
- 13:17Speaker 2: The It's like a muffler.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Yeah, otherwise that would be very loud. They took them
- 13:21Speaker 1: from us, and then they gave it back to us
- 13:24Speaker 1: when COVID happened, because I guess they're Jerrem magnets, so
- 13:27Speaker 1: it's a good thing.
- 13:28Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. Yeah, I thought about it like
- 13:30Speaker 2: it was like one thing that I was. I couldn't
- 13:32Speaker 2: sleep that night too, So you texted me and you said, you're.
- 13:36Speaker 1: You couldn't sleep. All I did was sleep.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it was your favorite thing to say to me
- 13:40Speaker 2: is you're up kid, Yeah, which always makes me smile
- 13:43Speaker 2: a little bit. But I literally was like, oh my god,
- 13:47Speaker 2: like I'm gonna have to talk to Mikey about stuff.
- 13:49Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to pulling stuff. Oh my god, it's
- 13:51Speaker 2: Terry Styles day, Like I have to pull their stuff.
- 13:53Speaker 1: It's overwhelmed.
- 13:54Speaker 2: I literally was like, oh my god, my worst nightmare
- 13:57Speaker 2: is you being out on a Friday. And then it happened.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Me being on a Monday through Thursday is one thing.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Friday is a different animals.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a completely different I.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Don't know how someday that I don't know how I
- 14:08Speaker 1: do it. When I when I leave on Fridays, my
- 14:10Speaker 1: brain is complete more.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, like you said, we're doing two
- 14:14Speaker 1: shows at the same time, you know.
- 14:16Speaker 2: And the worst part was that my day after we
- 14:19Speaker 2: were done, the show wasn't even done.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Oh were you doing taxes?
- 14:22Speaker 2: No?
- 14:23Speaker 1: But I was here doing all your other stuff. Yeah.
- 14:25Speaker 2: I was like I have to stay and do Saturday
- 14:27Speaker 2: mornings and then I have to do Saturday nights and
- 14:29Speaker 2: I have to put the podcast up, and I like,
- 14:31Speaker 2: it's like steal stuff that I was like.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Oh my god. You know, listen, you're putting your time in.
- 14:35Speaker 1: That's what you're doing, you know, uh, you know, just
- 14:38Speaker 1: to answer people because I do get questions about this
- 14:40Speaker 1: all the time. You know, Riley's job is on the
- 14:43Speaker 1: show is the producer, right, so she is basically my
- 14:48Speaker 1: associate producer, and you were the phone screener. And then
- 14:52Speaker 1: when that position got eliminated. That's what happened. When when
- 14:55Speaker 1: he was let go, the company which oversees our show
- 15:00Speaker 1: did whatever they did for whatever reason. They have their reasons.
- 15:03Speaker 1: They took the position away, they took that budget away,
- 15:06Speaker 1: do you know what I mean, And then they moved
- 15:08Speaker 1: you and gave you a little bump, but not co
- 15:11Speaker 1: host money. So that's that's why you Well, they gave
- 15:16Speaker 1: you a little something nowhere near what you should have got.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Let's call it what it is, right, But the problem
- 15:24Speaker 1: is that you have a co host and a producer.
- 15:28Speaker 1: That's what the position was. They got rid of the
- 15:31Speaker 1: co host, so then they just have the producer, so
- 15:33Speaker 1: they gave you a little bit of money, but you
- 15:36Speaker 1: don't get the co host money. And when you hear
- 15:40Speaker 1: Riley on the show, you know, producers talk on shows,
- 15:43Speaker 1: you know what I mean, doesn't mean they're a co host.
- 15:45Speaker 1: So it's a weird thing. I mean, it just came
- 15:47Speaker 1: down to they got rid of that position for the
- 15:50Speaker 1: show because they thought it was best. That's essentially all
- 15:53Speaker 1: it was, you know what I mean. And I don't know.
- 15:56Speaker 1: We had meetings last week and the ratings are good,
- 16:00Speaker 1: are very good, so the company's probably like, huh, you're
- 16:03Speaker 1: all up and arms about this. Look at that. I'm like,
- 16:05Speaker 1: all right, well whatever, you know, We're just happy to
- 16:08Speaker 1: show up and have this job every day, you know
- 16:09Speaker 1: what I mean. And the ratings thing is like they
- 16:12Speaker 1: go up and they go down, they go up and
- 16:14Speaker 1: they go down. You know, you just gotta focus on
- 16:15Speaker 1: coming in, showing up, doing a good show.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Doing your best every day and making you guys laugh
- 16:21Speaker 2: and have fun.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Yeah together together, Riley. Next week we're on vacation. You
- 16:26Speaker 1: have more work to do. Yeah, listen, I did the
- 16:30Speaker 1: same thing, man, I did the same thing, And I
- 16:33Speaker 1: hate to keep saying that like, oh, I've been when
- 16:36Speaker 1: you are at kid, but I have. And people that
- 16:39Speaker 1: listen to this podcast know, like OG listeners, they know
- 16:42Speaker 1: because I used to talk about all this stuff, not
- 16:44Speaker 1: making the money, not getting full time all that. You know,
- 16:47Speaker 1: it's tough, but I can't wait to go on vacation.
- 16:50Speaker 2: I know.
- 16:50Speaker 1: I have a serious question.
- 16:51Speaker 2: I think Billy has been like counting down the days.
- 16:53Speaker 2: He's like, five more days to Mexico. I keep killing them.
- 16:58Speaker 1: You know what's crazy about Bill is pill could just retire.
- 17:02Speaker 2: I know, but he doesn't want to.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Oh, he's not going to retire.
- 17:04Speaker 2: He loves he loves being here and talking.
- 17:08Speaker 1: He loves it, and he does the TV and all
- 17:10Speaker 1: that stuff.
- 17:11Speaker 2: But yeah, good for him.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Every time he's you know, counting down the days to vacation,
- 17:15Speaker 1: he stops talking about I can't wait. I need the vacation.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, you could take a permanent vacation. Like yeah,
- 17:24Speaker 1: like he Bill's here for the love of the game.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Let's be real. He doesn't need to make any more money.
- 17:29Speaker 1: He's worked for fifty years. Yeah, right, Like he has
- 17:32Speaker 1: enough money.
- 17:33Speaker 2: I think he just likes us.
- 17:35Speaker 1: I think he does. He has fun when he comes in.
- 17:37Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's also the repetition getting up, which
- 17:41Speaker 1: which I honestly I get.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Well, that's the biggest thing when people retire. They like
- 17:45Speaker 2: sometimes they're like brain starts.
- 17:47Speaker 1: To they fade out, fade out, yeah, because.
- 17:50Speaker 2: They're used to like working their muscles and by muscles,
- 17:53Speaker 2: I mean brain every single day and then you stop,
- 17:55Speaker 2: and it's like what happened.
- 17:57Speaker 1: A good friend of mine is in the Union Electrical Union,
- 18:00Speaker 1: and he says, there there's a thing with guys who
- 18:04Speaker 1: retired because in the Union, if you put in twenty years,
- 18:07Speaker 1: say twenty five years, you can retire. So a lot
- 18:11Speaker 1: of these guys got in at like twenty one. Yeah
- 18:13Speaker 1: maybe it's more than that, but they can retire at
- 18:15Speaker 1: like fifty five, say right, And so all the guys
- 18:18Speaker 1: count down the years to fifty five, and then they
- 18:20Speaker 1: retire at fifty five full pension, and like they don't
- 18:23Speaker 1: make it a couple of years.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're bored. Yeah yeah, yeah, when you're that young, like,
- 18:27Speaker 2: what are you going to do?
- 18:28Speaker 1: You gotta do something else, yeah, to keep you busy.
- 18:31Speaker 2: There's only so much gulf that you can do. Right,
- 18:34Speaker 2: good point, But you were saying you have a serious
- 18:36Speaker 2: question before I went on, Oh about Mexico.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Should I be concerned about this airport thing with the
- 18:42Speaker 1: partial shutdown? My wife and people were going with a
- 18:45Speaker 1: freaking out. But I don't know what to say. Are
- 18:47Speaker 1: you always?
- 18:48Speaker 2: Are you the kind of person that's like, we'll get
- 18:49Speaker 2: there two hours early and we'll get through TSA, Yes, okay,
- 18:52Speaker 2: I feel like you'll be fine. Okay, because I'm that
- 18:54Speaker 2: way too, I will you know how the other day
- 18:56Speaker 2: on the show, we were talking about like the challenge,
- 18:58Speaker 2: the airport Challenge. I would never in my life do that.
- 19:02Speaker 1: That show at fifteen minutes early, right, that's psychotic.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Yeah, Like even if you have an early flight, Like
- 19:07Speaker 2: I don't even care if I'm taking a six am flight,
- 19:10Speaker 2: I'm getting there at least an hour and a half,
- 19:11Speaker 2: really because what if I don't want to miss that flight? Right?
- 19:15Speaker 2: I think you'll be fine if you get there like
- 19:17Speaker 2: two hours away.
- 19:18Speaker 1: So I'm not really concerned about the delays. I'm concerned
- 19:20Speaker 1: about cancelations.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you do? That's true? Well, usually they
- 19:25Speaker 2: rebook you, but like sometimes that can be like you
- 19:27Speaker 2: have to stay the whole day in the airport.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Right right, But they usually do rebook you if yeah,
- 19:34Speaker 1: because if we don't make it there, we lose the money. Right.
- 19:36Speaker 1: It's an airbnb, yeah.
- 19:38Speaker 2: And it's a nice airbnb.
- 19:39Speaker 1: It's really nice Airbnb.
- 19:41Speaker 2: I think that if anything happens where they have to cancel,
- 19:44Speaker 2: they should rebook you.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Do you think our flights at seven am? See, I'm
- 19:48Speaker 1: asking you because you're like a world traveler. Yeah, oh
- 19:50Speaker 1: yeahry our flights at seven am? Do you think we
- 19:54Speaker 1: were gonna, you know, get up very early, drive in
- 19:57Speaker 1: park the car? Do you think we should get a
- 19:58Speaker 1: hotel right next to Logan instead instead and sleep there
- 20:03Speaker 1: Sunday night so then we can get up extra extra early.
- 20:07Speaker 2: I don't. I wouldn't. No, I don't. I mean where
- 20:11Speaker 2: are you parking?
- 20:12Speaker 1: We're parking in a place in Chelsea that shuttles us over.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I've done that before. Sometimes it takes a
- 20:20Speaker 2: little bit for the bus to come, so just be
- 20:23Speaker 2: aware of that. Sometimes, like I waited there like twenty
- 20:26Speaker 2: minutes one time for.
- 20:27Speaker 1: The bus to take off to get to look, and
- 20:30Speaker 1: then it's.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Like a maybe like a fifteen to twenty minute drive
- 20:34Speaker 2: to look on the bus because it makes a bunch
- 20:36Speaker 2: of stops right, so just like make sure you're factoring
- 20:39Speaker 2: that in. Okay, again, I would just try to be
- 20:43Speaker 2: at the airport with at least an hour and a half,
- 20:47Speaker 2: if not two hours. And some people might be like,
- 20:49Speaker 2: that's psychotic, you don't need to do that. Well that's
- 20:52Speaker 2: what I would do.
- 20:52Speaker 1: So my opinion, well, I think that's what we're going
- 20:55Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, there's no other option.
- 20:57Speaker 2: I feel like, but then you have to get out
- 20:59Speaker 2: of your house at like five am. I guess that
- 21:02Speaker 2: even earlier than that. Actually, I guess the hotel might
- 21:04Speaker 2: not be there, might not.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Get a hotel, yeah, because I was thinking too, Well,
- 21:08Speaker 1: we could start the vacation early. If it has a pool. Yeah,
- 21:11Speaker 1: kids love pools.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Yeah, your kids do love staying at hotel.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Yeah. We could be like, well you get we could
- 21:15Speaker 1: surprise them. Yeah, we could say, because they know we're
- 21:17Speaker 1: leaving Monday morning, we could Sunday morning, we could be like, hey, yeah,
- 21:22Speaker 1: we're leaving today and staying at a hotel. Yeah, that'd
- 21:24Speaker 1: be a good idea.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Okay, that is a good idea. Yeah, unless it's like
- 21:26Speaker 2: a really expensive hotel.
- 21:27Speaker 1: No, I think there's a Hilton or a Hiatt.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, then yeah, I feel like that's probably for
- 21:32Speaker 2: the best now that I've done the math.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll leave you and know you're very busy. I'll
- 21:36Speaker 1: leave you with this story real quick. I had this
- 21:38Speaker 1: exact conversation with Billy this morning, okay, and he said, oh,
- 21:42Speaker 1: that's a great idea. He said, there's a hilton right
- 21:45Speaker 1: there that you can stay at. I go. Perfect. It
- 21:48Speaker 1: was actually one time. It's going on vacation and my
- 21:52Speaker 1: flight got delayed, so I went to go stay at
- 21:55Speaker 1: the Hilton until the next day. When I walked in,
- 22:00Speaker 1: the manager recognize me, put me in the presidential suite
- 22:04Speaker 1: for the night. Let me tell you, the presidential suite
- 22:07Speaker 1: really nice. I'm like, thanks so much.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Bill. If I could spend a day in his body.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Jesus, it's great, dude. One time, I don't know if
- 22:16Speaker 1: you went with us. Did you go to Commics come
- 22:17Speaker 1: home last year? Yeah? Okay. Well then we were walking.
- 22:20Speaker 2: In, yes, and everybody's like, Billy.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Don't remember what happened though. The usher, Oh, so we
- 22:27Speaker 1: walked in. We walked in, the line was crazy to
- 22:31Speaker 1: get in. Yeah, and Bill, this usher was standing there
- 22:35Speaker 1: after the side. He saw Bill. Bill waved at him.
- 22:37Speaker 1: The guy came over and grabbed Bill in all of
- 22:40Speaker 1: us and walked us right by everybody else, all the peons,
- 22:44Speaker 1: and brought us right in. I was like, Wow, this
- 22:46Speaker 1: is what it's like to be Bill Costa.
- 22:47Speaker 2: That was one of the first times I had ever
- 22:49Speaker 2: been out with Billy, like in like like Boston, like
- 22:53Speaker 2: and I remember being like, oh my god, like people really.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Know they know.
- 22:59Speaker 2: I'm not trying to say that like I didn't know
- 23:01Speaker 2: who he was, because of course I did, but like
- 23:04Speaker 2: it's different like seeing Billy every day at work versus
- 23:07Speaker 2: like the Billy that's out like in Boston as like
- 23:10Speaker 2: a quote unquote celebrity like.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Because to us, it's just silly Bill exactly.
- 23:15Speaker 2: You know what I mean, literally just uncle Bill to us.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Well, it's funny because when you're with him and you're
- 23:20Speaker 1: walking in places in public, there are people that say
- 23:23Speaker 1: hey Billy and say hello. Then there's the other people
- 23:25Speaker 1: that you just hear, yes you can.
- 23:29Speaker 2: It happened to me, Yeah, oh my god, hey, I
- 23:32Speaker 2: think that's Billy. Yeah whatever.
- 23:35Speaker 1: He's been on two mediums for how many years. He's
- 23:37Speaker 1: on TV every weekend, he's on the radio seven days
- 23:40Speaker 1: a week. It's you know it's who he is, but
- 23:43Speaker 1: he's just silly build up literally anyway, thank you Riley,
- 23:46Speaker 1: no problem, get your work done, and thank you for
- 23:48Speaker 1: filling in again.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Of course, I'm glad that you're back as much fun
- 23:52Speaker 2: as I had. I'm glad that you're back in feeling okay.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Yes, and thank you everybody for the well wishes and
- 23:57Speaker 1: hoping I feel better. It's better for people to hope
- 24:01Speaker 1: for your you know, to get better than your demise.
- 24:04Speaker 2: That is true. You probably had both right you would.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Well you know what they used to
- 24:08Speaker 2: Say about violent, deeply disturbed cokehead with a humiliation fetish
