  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I want to get Billy on so
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: bad for the after Show, but he's a little busy
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: right now. Crazy crazy show today. The whole saga about
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: his cookbook is just hilarious. If you missed it, check
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it out on the podcast. We got to talk back
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: from a guy who said he got Billy's cookbook on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Amazon for three dollars and seventy seven cents, so it
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: turned into a whole thing. Apparently that's used new It
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: was like twenty two dollars, marked down from fifty, which
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: makes sense. But then we checked again a couple of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: minutes later and it went up to twenty seven dollars.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So Amazon is adjusting the price based on the demand.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It wasn't selling, so they discounted it down and now
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it's going back up.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: This is a wild story, but it is a good book,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: it really is.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We like to make fun of Billy, but it's a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: good book, especially if you're a foodie, if you love
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to cook. There's like over sixty recipes with all the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: top chefs, and you get Bill, who's fun of them?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Bill?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: But anyway, welcome to the After Show Podcast. Today's Thursday,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: April twenty third. Let's check in.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Mike from the Hampshire Just I just want to say
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I love I mean, I love this podcast.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Thanks Mike.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: And it doesn't matter if you have a guest or
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: if you're doing it yourself. But I will say when
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: you have producer Riley on, she brings that something extra
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: to the podcast. So I'm voting for her to maybe
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: be there more than once a once a week, maybe more.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you Mike for the words. I'll have Riley
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: on as much as possible. I know she's very busy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: She's a producer and obviously she does a lot of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: things after the show. She does all the podcasting, plus
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: she's on the air as well, so I could run
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: as much as I can.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud of her. She is.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you she is such a good, good person
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and worker. She's a great producer.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I've spent the last couple of years kind of training
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: her and showing her what I do, and she has
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: taken it one hundred percent of the way. She's listened
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to everything that I said, everything that I teach her.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: She does.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: She shows up on time. That's important, right. I always say, success,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you got to show up on time, you know, even earlier. Right,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: there's another quote, if you're on time, you're late, meaning
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: show up earlier. And so she shows up and you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: she makes mistakes obviously, but like I talked about the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: other day, she doesn't keep making those mistakes, and she's proactive,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and you know, she believes in what she's doing and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: she's trying to make it. She's you know, she's trying
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to make it from the bottom, you know what I mean.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: She makes no money, Like seriously, she's part time. Makes
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: if I even said what she made, which I won't,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: but you can only imagine, it's so low. So but
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I was there, that was my story too.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: For years.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I made no money. It's just the way the business works,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you know. So we're hoping that her time will come.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: But we're so proud of her because she's now on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the air on the weekends, she's on the air Saturday morning,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: she does a night shift. I think she's on Sundays
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: she does five am to six am, which I used
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to do as well as a Saturday morning eight am shift.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And then she fills in whenever she can. And now
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: she's working on commercials to try to get endorsements, so
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: on her own, you know, because I explained to her
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that when I got on the air kind of part time,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you want to get commercials because that pays
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: extra money. It's kind of like bonuses, right, So we
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: get paid twice a month. The first check is your
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: regular salary and the second check is your endorsements. So
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the more endorsements you can get, the more money you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: can get.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So we have salespeople that get us endorsements, but then
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we also go out and try to get our own
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: endorsements things that we believe in, like power of recovery, right,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I'm in recovery. It's something that I am, you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: passionate about New England, Spas Saunas, Pentucket Bank, that's my bank. Chipotle.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I love Chipotle, well documented for a long time. I'm
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a huge Chipotle fan. So those are just a few
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of what I have. But you know, those are things
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that I'm technically selling, but I use you know, So anyway,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: she wants to get endorsements to try to kind of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: offset her low salary. Basically it's not even a salary.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: She's part time. So I said to her, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: our boss is very, very particular on endorsements and commercials
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and reading commercials on Kiss Went Away. It's a big
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: radio station. When I wanted to be on, he told
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: me to cut some commercials, fake ones like Steal Billion
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and Lisa's commercials and read them and then send them
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to him. He will listen and critique them. And that's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: what she's been doing. She's been recording commercials. I listen
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to them, I critique her, and then she rereads them
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and eventually soon she's going to meet with the boss
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and present to him because she had asked them about
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: getting them and he basically said the same thing to her.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: But she already knew that, and she had already begun
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: cutting the commercials because of her conversation with me. Does
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that make sense? So I was with her yesterday working
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and she sounds great. She really does. It's little things.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: The reading of the commercials is like you think, oh,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's just you know reading she talks on the radio.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I talk on the radio. I can do it, but
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's different. It's different. You have to read the commercial.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But sound like you're just talking to a friend is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the best way to describe it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa are two of the best in the business.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You know me, I've been doing it for several years
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and still if I have a commercial, I have to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: read it through. You know, Billy and Lisa. You can
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: just give them the script. They look at it and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: they just read it and they're done and it's fantastic.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So it's definitely an art form to doing it. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: she's doing great. So shout out to producer Riley.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: She is.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: She's my like right hand woman, you know what I mean.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So I try to get around as much as I can.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I know she's busy. I know she wishes she could
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: do it every day, but I like once a week.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Mike, I like that. That's good. So thank you, Mike.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Justin It's moo. I also sent in a letter for
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Eileen for her testing. I thought that was a great idea.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: They had parents do.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was the other day, mo.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: My son, Oh yesterday, I should say, my son had
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: his first day of state testing, and I had explained
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that the school had had us the parents write little
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: notes and they hand them to the kids right before
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: they do the testing to give them some encouragement and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: some motivation.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: And I also commends you on checking your labs every
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: six months. Good for you. The nurse in me is
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: very proud of you being proactive and your own advocate,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and it's it's really good because stuff like high cholesterol,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: you know, that's dangerous, but we won't know unless we
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: unless we see it. So good for you. That's awesome.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Keep up the good work, my friend.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Thanks MO.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to really take my health, you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: grasp and get a hold of it. I've been doing
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it for a couple of years. But I used to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: get blood work every year. Now I bumped it to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: every six months to kind of monitor what's going on.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You know, my family has a history of prostate cancer,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: so I like to keep an eye on that, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of course my cholesterol. I've never actually had a bad lab.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: How do you like that, Mo, I've never had nothing's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: ever been out of range. Isn't that crazy? So I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: think that that goes to Sorry, I shouldn't say never
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: years ago, right, because I didn't go to the doctor
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: for many, many, many many years. I didn't go to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: even when I got clean. I didn't go see a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: doctor for several years after that because I was just unhealthy.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But when I finally did early on, Yeah, I had
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: some bad readings, but I will say in the past,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I mean ten twelve years since I started exercising and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: doing things like that, I've never had a bad reading
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that was out of range. So the results already started
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: coming in. I got one result. My hematocrite, which is
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: my red blood count, is right in range.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So that's good.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So I will await those results and I'll see the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: doc on Tuesday. And I was actually having this discussion
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: with my friend the other night. What I try to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: do is every time I go back to the doctor,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I try to beat my prior lab results, if that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: makes sense, not just lab results but weight. I can't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: beat height because you know, we're all shrinking, we're getting older,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: but weight I can control, so I know what my
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: numbers are. So I try to go back lighter, right,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: less weight on the scale. And then I tried do
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: whatever I can to beat my last labs, which doesn't
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: always work. But the weight thing I can control. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I want to go back and I want to sit
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: down with the doc and him be happy. In the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: last couple of times he's been very, very happy, So
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that's good health as wealth. Remember that we only get
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: one life. We have to take care of ourselves. Lord knows,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't do that for a very long time. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: abused my body. I'm lucky to even be alive. So
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I got a second chance. And if I don't take
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: every opportunity to, you know, take control of it, then
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that's on me.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I think we all are going to meet that meet
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that fate. But how long that's going to be, we
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: can't tell. But I can do everything I can to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: try to extend it as much as possible. You know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: my grandparents all lived into their late eighties into nineties,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and my grandmother just passed. She was one hundred and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was she one hundred and three or one hundred and four, God,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I can't remember, but yeah, they lived to a very
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: ripe old age, and hopefully I will too. But the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: goal is to be moving around and walking as best
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I can on my own into my eighties, maybe my nineties,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: although that's hard. I mean, that's like William Shanner's territory.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: But if I can get.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Into my eighties, because my dad, he's in his early
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: seventies and he's like hyper fixated on the same thing,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: like being able, like keeping his mental health I mean
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: his like brain functioning and also his physical so he
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: works out, he reads a lot. But they say when
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you hit seventy five, the decline is so great. Once
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you hit seventy five, after that you just go downhill fast.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: But there are things you can do to kind of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: slow that down, you know. I mean, Jen's grandfather, my wife.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: He's like eighty six. He still drives, he still takes vacations.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He was just in Aruba. He's at all Court casino
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: all the time, hanging out, gambling, having a good time,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: having a drink, having a smoke, and he's eighty six.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: But again that might be like genetics too, you know.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So anyway, big day today with the Food for Thought
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: radio show, which he has on WBC hosted by Billy Costa.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: He's gonna have special guests, Power of Recovery and Justin. Yeah,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: once a month, Pole of Recovery comes in Maddie and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Damon on my podcast.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: But Billy and I were like, why don't we have
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: him on the Food show?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You know, that's we can do like several segments that
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: we can talk about what they do. My partnership with them.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I got clean with Maddie and Damon, you probably know that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: So instead of the podcast, they're gonna do Food for Thought.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So they're coming in now. I think they are here
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: right outside the studio, so that should be fun. They're
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: gonna take some talkbacks that would have been played for
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the after show, so listen up. If that's you, if
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you are the people that left talkbacks for Power of Recovery,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Sunday night, six o'clock on WBZ. It'll air live and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: then also the podcast. You can just search Food for
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Thought on the iHeartRadio app and catch.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: The podcast there. Okay, tomorrow's Friday. Thank God, see you
