Latest / Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show / Save The Drama For Your Mama...
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: God, everyone's too busy for Justin in the after show podcast.
- 0:03Speaker 1: I thought this was a big deal. Apparently not. Well,
- 0:06Speaker 1: everyone's busy. That's what it is. It's a busy Thursday.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to the podcast. The show just ended.
- 0:13Speaker 1: So the after show begins. That's how it works. If
- 0:15Speaker 1: you're here for the first time, welcome to the after show.
- 0:18Speaker 1: And yeah, so Lisa had to leave early because she
- 0:21Speaker 1: has some kind of video shoot. Billy has the food show,
- 0:25Speaker 1: which typically I'd be able to get him in, but
- 0:27Speaker 1: he has several guests and he has to Prepare for
- 0:29Speaker 1: the guests. God, just wing it. It's the best. Just
- 0:33Speaker 1: wing it. And then you have Riley who has to
- 0:35Speaker 1: put up the show podcast. Oh, God, the show, which
- 0:38Speaker 1: is a good thing because when that thing doesn't go up,
- 0:40Speaker 1: the DMs fly in to me. Where's the podcast? It's
- 0:44Speaker 1: actually quite flattering that people listen. And then we have
- 0:47Speaker 1: a meeting today. So lots of meetings. We had a
- 0:48Speaker 1: meeting yesterday as well. That was just with the boss.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Today is the entire Kiss 108 staff where they go
- 0:53Speaker 1: over things that are happening, things coming up. You know,
- 0:56Speaker 1: the Bruno Mars double play that happens yesterday. Today, it
- 0:59Speaker 1: wraps up. Tomorrow, grand prize. And then Bruno all weekend.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday at Gillette, we have the cookout on Sunday.
- 1:06Speaker 1: And obviously, we get staff tickets to pretty much any show.
- 1:11Speaker 1: And typically, I don't take them during the week. And
- 1:13Speaker 1: these are tickets that are for the radio station. The
- 1:18Speaker 1: station will get tickets to shows, which are for the listeners.
- 1:21Speaker 1: They are for giving away. We don't sell tickets. You
- 1:24Speaker 1: know how many times I've been asked, hey, can I
- 1:26Speaker 1: buy tickets from you? Like that's illegal. I can't do that.
- 1:29Speaker 1: But the station does get tickets and there's always usually
- 1:32Speaker 1: leftovers and those will go out to staff. And that's how,
- 1:36Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I'm able to get tickets for other people,
- 1:38Speaker 1: family members and friends. I love, love, love doing that.
- 1:42Speaker 1: But then they also have radio station tickets. These are,
- 1:45Speaker 1: you know, from the labels. These are meant for the
- 1:47Speaker 1: staff here. And we get offered those all the time.
- 1:49Speaker 1: And again, I don't take them during the weekdays. I
- 1:51Speaker 1: get up too early. I know I sound like an
- 1:53Speaker 1: old man, but sleep is important to me. This job
- 1:56Speaker 1: is important to me. It's important that I get as
- 1:57Speaker 1: much sleep as possible because I cannot come in and
- 2:00Speaker 1: mail it in. I cannot. Some people have a job
- 2:03Speaker 1: where if they're really tired or they're not feeling it,
- 2:05Speaker 1: they can kind of just take it easy. I can't.
- 2:07Speaker 1: I got to be on. I got to be on
- 2:08Speaker 1: to go be on the air and produce the show.
- 2:11Speaker 1: And I got to get up super early, like 3 a.m.,
- 2:13Speaker 1: sometimes 2.30 a.m., depending on how busy my workload is.
- 2:16Speaker 1: So weekday shows, no. But weekend shows, yes. And they
- 2:19Speaker 1: offered the Bruno Mars tickets for this weekend. And I'm like, oh, man,
- 2:23Speaker 1: because the cookout Sunday, it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Pause.
- 2:26Speaker 1: A lot of people coming in, a lot of setting
- 2:29Speaker 1: up to do. Could I set it all up on
- 2:31Speaker 1: tomorrow and Saturday and be all set to leave? But
- 2:33Speaker 1: then it's like Gillette, driving to Gillette. I'd have to
- 2:37Speaker 1: go early because producer Riley will be there at Splitsville
- 2:40Speaker 1: from 4 to 7. So I don't want to leave
- 2:42Speaker 1: her hanging if I go. So I would go early,
- 2:45Speaker 1: hang out with her. So the traffic getting there wouldn't
- 2:46Speaker 1: be bad. It's leaving. But Ashley down the hall at
- 2:50Speaker 1: Jammin went to usher in Chris Brown. And she looked
- 2:52Speaker 1: up the set list. And so she planned it and
- 2:55Speaker 1: left four or five songs early and said there was
- 2:58Speaker 1: no traffic getting out. But still, it's Gillette. You can
- 3:02Speaker 1: almost guarantee there'll be traffic. And it's really just as
- 3:06Speaker 1: the show, the show is going to be fantastic. So
- 3:08Speaker 1: I do kind of have some FOMO fear of missing out.
- 3:11Speaker 1: But then I asked my wife and I'm like, you
- 3:12Speaker 1: want to go see Bruno Mars Saturday? And she was like, eh,
- 3:15Speaker 1: she's not. I mean, she likes Bruno Mars, but it's not,
- 3:17Speaker 1: you know, her favorite. So we're going to pass on that.
- 3:20Speaker 1: But producer Riley will be there. So if you are
- 3:22Speaker 1: going to the show either night, Saturday or Sunday, go
- 3:26Speaker 1: there early four to seven and check out Riley because
- 3:29Speaker 1: she'll be there. She's doing a great job, man. She's
- 3:33Speaker 1: been chiming in more on the show when we need her,
- 3:36Speaker 1: which we really like. We like that a lot. You know,
- 3:38Speaker 1: going to her when she has something to say, you know,
- 3:41Speaker 1: that was kind of the big change that was made
- 3:43Speaker 1: to the show. You know, they felt that, you know,
- 3:45Speaker 1: force for Mike's all the time was just too much.
- 3:49Speaker 1: And I get it. It was kind of shocking at
- 3:51Speaker 1: first when it happened. But now I understand it for sure.
- 3:54Speaker 1: It was just too much. It was just too many
- 3:56Speaker 1: mics at one time. So I kind of get it now.
- 3:59Speaker 1: I mean, look, like, you know, they made the change.
- 4:01Speaker 1: It was shocking. But literally they show the ratings just like,
- 4:05Speaker 1: I mean, way back up, way up to number one,
- 4:07Speaker 1: which I did not predict. It's a great thing. They
- 4:11Speaker 1: were going over them yesterday in the meeting with the boss.
- 4:13Speaker 1: The boss was, I should say. And it's really just
- 4:17Speaker 1: incredible to see. So yeah, that was kind of, that's
- 4:20Speaker 1: what they wanted. And, and, you know, I didn't understand
- 4:22Speaker 1: it at the time, but then I thought about it
- 4:23Speaker 1: after I talked about this, you know, the success of
- 4:27Speaker 1: the Maddie in the morning show was obviously Maddie and
- 4:30Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa. Right. But it was three, it was
- 4:32Speaker 1: three people and a producer. And the producer was, you know,
- 4:35Speaker 1: people like Gandhi and Bex and Winnie and Kendra before
- 4:38Speaker 1: that there's been so many executive producers that did not
- 4:41Speaker 1: have a mic, the whole show, right. They would just
- 4:43Speaker 1: chime in when they had something to say or to
- 4:45Speaker 1: go to them. And that kind of, It's easier to
- 4:47Speaker 1: listen to, to not have so many mics on at
- 4:50Speaker 1: a time. They talk about that in radio a lot.
- 4:52Speaker 1: So I kind of get it. And so we're able
- 4:54Speaker 1: to go to Riley when we need her. So she's
- 4:58Speaker 1: doing a great job. Go see her there. And it's
- 5:00Speaker 1: so funny. We were talking about the aquarium with Billy
- 5:03Speaker 1: because he called me when he left his TV shoot
- 5:05Speaker 1: there yesterday. And he was going on and on and
- 5:08Speaker 1: on about the turtles and the seals. He was in
- 5:10Speaker 1: the tank. He was like a little kid. And I'm like, dude,
- 5:13Speaker 1: you got to tell this story tomorrow. This is like
- 5:15Speaker 1: really cool. And the other part of that is so funny.
- 5:18Speaker 1: A year ago, I don't even know what, months ago,
- 5:20Speaker 1: we were talking about first dates and producer Riley said,
- 5:23Speaker 1: my ideal first date is the aquarium. And the look
- 5:26Speaker 1: on Billy's face was like so judgy that that's what
- 5:30Speaker 1: she picked. Not dinner. Well, maybe dinner too, but the
- 5:33Speaker 1: main draw would be the aquarium. But then you got Bill.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Stop being so freaking judgy. Yeah, judgy, judgy, judgy. But
- 5:40Speaker 1: after his visit yesterday to the aquarium, not so much.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Now he's all in on the aquarium. And He was
- 5:46Speaker 1: nice enough to call over there and use a little
- 5:49Speaker 1: bit of pull and get producer Riley to go into
- 5:52Speaker 1: the seal tank. So that's cool. Good for him. We're
- 5:56Speaker 1: coming upon Labor Day weekend. Again, I have the cookout Sunday.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Looking forward to that. It's going to be a beautiful
- 6:00Speaker 1: weekend weather-wise. Not too hot, but sunshine. Rain today. Tomorrow,
- 6:04Speaker 1: clear up. It's going to be nice. I'll cut my grass.
- 6:07Speaker 1: And then Saturday and Sunday, well, Saturday will be all
- 6:09Speaker 1: setting up the tents, the chairs, the tables, everything. And
- 6:14Speaker 1: figuring out what my wife is going to do as
- 6:17Speaker 1: far as, I guess, entertainment for the kids. She's looking
- 6:21Speaker 1: at a bouncy house, a dunk tank, a dance bouncy house.
- 6:28Speaker 1: And then there are the sumo suits. This is a
- 6:31Speaker 1: new one that she sent to me today. You can
- 6:34Speaker 1: rent inflatable sumo suits along with a sumo mat for
- 6:39Speaker 1: the kids themselves. Or adults. I mean, kids and adults,
- 6:43Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Definitely kids. They can put them on
- 6:44Speaker 1: and wrestle like sumo wrestlers. I don't want the bouncy
- 6:47Speaker 1: house because of the problems with fighting. I got to
- 6:50Speaker 1: predict there'll be problems with the sumo suits as well.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Let me tell you, when I'm at my house, having
- 6:55Speaker 1: a good time, friends and family, the last thing I want,
- 6:58Speaker 1: which is what happened last cookout, which was Jemma's party,
- 7:00Speaker 1: the big party, there's problems. I don't want that. I
- 7:04Speaker 1: don't want to be handling and screaming and yelling at
- 7:06Speaker 1: the kids. I want everyone to just get along, everyone
- 7:08Speaker 1: to have fun. There's no drama at my house. There's
- 7:12Speaker 1: no drinking. Not that– sorry. Let me rephrase that. There
- 7:16Speaker 1: is drinking. People are drinking but the majority aren't. You're not–
- 7:20Speaker 1: you can drink at my house. We actually have beer
- 7:24Speaker 1: in the fridge in Nani's– she has a backup fridge there.
- 7:29Speaker 1: But 95 percent of the people there aren't drinking. So
- 7:32Speaker 1: if you come to my house and you are– you drink– Then,
- 7:36Speaker 1: you know, you can drink at my house. It's no
- 7:38Speaker 1: big deal. But there is never, ever, ever anybody getting
- 7:41Speaker 1: too drunk. You know, not even Nani. Nani drinks like
- 7:44Speaker 1: maybe two or three times a year. And sometimes she'll
- 7:46Speaker 1: overdo it and get plastered, which is funny. But overall,
- 7:50Speaker 1: like she does not drink really, you know, and nothing
- 7:53Speaker 1: against it. Obviously, there's the recovery part. And, you know,
- 7:56Speaker 1: that never goes away. But it's more so just like
- 7:58Speaker 1: the vibe. That's the biggest thing with drinking. It's the vibe.
- 8:02Speaker 1: You know, when you're hanging out with people, you want
- 8:04Speaker 1: to have kind of the same vibe and be on
- 8:06Speaker 1: the same level. And when someone's drinking, you're not, you're
- 8:09Speaker 1: definitely not on the same vibe. If you're smoking weed
- 8:11Speaker 1: and getting high, definitely not on the same vibe. Now,
- 8:14Speaker 1: if two people are drinking, hanging out, cool. Like you're drinking,
- 8:17Speaker 1: having a good time, catching a buzz, getting drunk. Or
- 8:20Speaker 1: if you're smoking weed and sharing, you know, joint or whatever,
- 8:22Speaker 1: then that's cool. You're vibing together. But if you're hanging
- 8:25Speaker 1: out with other people that are drinking and you're not drinking,
- 8:28Speaker 1: It's a vibe killer. That's just the way I think
- 8:30Speaker 1: about it. I can be around people drinking all day.
- 8:32Speaker 1: It's a part of the business that I'm in. It's
- 8:34Speaker 1: not a huge deal. It's different for me too because
- 8:38Speaker 1: they say alcohol is a drug, which it is. But
- 8:40Speaker 1: alcohol was never a preference. I really never, ever drank.
- 8:43Speaker 1: I've never had wine. I mean I stopped– I literally
- 8:47Speaker 1: stopped drinking probably when I was– I don't know. So
- 8:52Speaker 1: it's been a long time since I drank. I just
- 8:54Speaker 1: never had the taste for it. That's not to say
- 8:56Speaker 1: that I could not come back and bite me in
- 8:58Speaker 1: the ass because I shared about a friend of mine
- 9:00Speaker 1: recently that relapsed after 20 years and he was a
- 9:03Speaker 1: drug addict. Never had a problem with booze and now
- 9:07Speaker 1: he's struggling with booze. He's sober now. He had a
- 9:10Speaker 1: little slip up, but I got him into treatment and
- 9:12Speaker 1: it was all booze. And he's like, I never had
- 9:14Speaker 1: a problem. It snuck up on me. So it can happen.
- 9:16Speaker 1: But it's different with drugs, right? Obviously, I'm never, ever,
- 9:20Speaker 1: ever around drugs and that's a different story. If there
- 9:22Speaker 1: are people using drugs around me, like that's– that will
- 9:24Speaker 1: never happen. I would never put myself in that situation.
- 9:28Speaker 1: There were a couple of times early in my recovery
- 9:29Speaker 1: where I found myself in that situation and I had
- 9:32Speaker 1: to walk away. I had a best friend growing up
- 9:35Speaker 1: who I love dearly, dearly, dearly, best friend in the
- 9:38Speaker 1: whole world and we have not hung out, seen each other, talked.
- 9:43Speaker 1: In many, many years because I had to make that
- 9:45Speaker 1: decision after I got clean. I thought that I could
- 9:47Speaker 1: get clean and then still hang around with him because
- 9:49Speaker 1: I love him so much. But he never got clean.
- 9:52Speaker 1: He still is using, drinking, doing whatever. He just never
- 9:59Speaker 1: wanted to. He had no interest. in getting clean and
- 10:02Speaker 1: giving up everything. And then for me, I had to, right.
- 10:05Speaker 1: I had to be all in. I could never, I
- 10:07Speaker 1: tried being one foot in one foot out and it
- 10:09Speaker 1: just never worked. So when I finally did, I had
- 10:11Speaker 1: to like cut off communication with him completely. And he
- 10:14Speaker 1: was very, very resentful about it, you know, I know
- 10:17Speaker 1: he loves me and everything, but he just doesn't really understand.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And I get it. You know, the question is how
- 10:22Speaker 1: loyal are you? If you say that you love me
- 10:25Speaker 1: and you say that you're my best friend in the
- 10:27Speaker 1: whole wide world, how can you just shut me off
- 10:29Speaker 1: like that? And I told him, I mean, I told him,
- 10:32Speaker 1: I go, listen, I got to make this decision for me.
- 10:34Speaker 1: You know, it's not a cult that I'm joining. I'm not,
- 10:37Speaker 1: it's all love. I just, I want to live. I
- 10:40Speaker 1: do not want to die. I don't want to die.
- 10:43Speaker 1: And if I keep hanging around the barbershop, I will
- 10:47Speaker 1: get a haircut as they say, and hanging out, hanging
- 10:50Speaker 1: out with him is the barbershop that I do not
- 10:52Speaker 1: want to be in. So yeah, no drugs for me. Never, ever, ever, ever,
- 10:56Speaker 1: but alcohol, whatever. So back to the party, there is never,
- 10:59Speaker 1: ever any drama. The only drama is the kids fighting,
- 11:02Speaker 1: which I don't want. That's my whole point. But yeah,
- 11:06Speaker 1: it's going to be a beautiful Labor Day weekend. I
- 11:08Speaker 1: hope you enjoy it. We'll be back on Tuesday. Some
- 11:11Speaker 1: things that are coming up on the show behind the scenes. Well,
- 11:14Speaker 1: next week, We're going to have Ed Sheeran tickets. It's
- 11:16Speaker 1: going to be a basic call-in to win. That's it, right? 8-10,
- 11:20Speaker 1: a couple more times a day, but in the morning
- 11:22Speaker 1: it'll be 8-10 or 7-10. I'm not sure. One of them.
- 11:26Speaker 1: But Ed Sheeran next week, I think the next two weeks.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Then we're going to move into Jingle Ball. Yes, Jingle
- 11:34Speaker 1: Ball season. The announcement is going to come up at
- 11:36Speaker 1: the end of September. It's on a Friday. You can
- 11:39Speaker 1: put it together what day it will be, but another
- 11:41Speaker 1: amazing lineup that I don't know what it is yet.
- 11:46Speaker 1: They keep it top secret. I usually find out like
- 11:48Speaker 1: a week or two before the show, I mean before
- 11:51Speaker 1: the announcement. So that will be big. Jingle Ball is
- 11:53Speaker 1: always a mega hit. Also coming in soon, well, Craig
- 12:00Speaker 1: Robinson from The Office. Daryl, if you like The Office,
- 12:03Speaker 1: he's coming in. He'll be live in studio. And then
- 12:07Speaker 1: we have a secret guest, a secret guest on the show,
- 12:10Speaker 1: on the show, not the after show. It's going to
- 12:12Speaker 1: come up next Monday. So not obviously Monday is Labor Day.
- 12:16Speaker 1: It is the next Monday, September 14th. And this is
- 12:19Speaker 1: actually going to be really cool because nobody knows who
- 12:22Speaker 1: the secret guest is but me. Billy has no idea.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Lisa has no idea. Producer Riley has no idea. I'm
- 12:31Speaker 1: not going to spoil it on the after show because
- 12:33Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to give it up. I'll give
- 12:36Speaker 1: you some hints, okay? She, it is a she. It's
- 12:43Speaker 1: from the 90s. So a 90s pop star who was
- 12:48Speaker 1: part of a collective. That's all I'm going to say.
- 12:51Speaker 1: You can put it together. Could be several different people.
- 12:55Speaker 1: But that's going to be cool because I'm not telling
- 12:57Speaker 1: Billy or Lisa until I walk that person into the
- 13:00Speaker 1: studio next Monday, September 14th. I've been working on this
- 13:04Speaker 1: behind the scenes. I think it's really cool. They're definitely
- 13:07Speaker 1: going to be like, whoa, what? And I think all
- 13:09Speaker 1: of you will be as well. If you have guesses
- 13:11Speaker 1: as to who it is, hit the talkbacks. And, yeah, tomorrow,
- 13:15Speaker 1: another after show. Going to be a short one tomorrow,
- 13:17Speaker 1: of course. I want to get out of here. Got
- 13:18Speaker 1: to get a haircut. Got to cut my grass. Got
- 13:19Speaker 1: to get cookout ready for the big party. So hope
- 13:22Speaker 1: to hear from you, and we'll talk tomorrow.
