- 1:13Speaker 1: you know. So you and I though, real quick, go
- 1:16Speaker 1: way back to twenty thirteen. Did you know that twenty thirteen?
- 1:20Speaker 2: Is that what it is?
- 1:21Speaker 1: That's when you started. So I was working on JAMM
- 1:23Speaker 1: in ninety four to five. They needed a new co host,
- 1:27Speaker 1: and I'll never forget. It was a week of auditions.
- 1:29Speaker 1: They had a different girl every day, and so we
- 1:31Speaker 1: did a couple of the girls and then Santy said
- 1:34Speaker 1: one morning I went in, he said the girl today
- 1:36Speaker 1: is she's from the Real World And I didn't watch
- 1:39Speaker 1: your season and he said her name is Ashley. Feldman
- 1:42Speaker 1: said cool, and then he went to go get you
- 1:44Speaker 1: and he walked down and I was sitting in the
- 1:45Speaker 1: office in the old building, and I'll never forget Santy
- 1:48Speaker 1: walked in and he goes, justin, this is actually and
- 1:51Speaker 1: you walked into the doorway, and you know how like
- 1:54Speaker 1: memory is funny, like that yeah, like seven feet tall
- 1:57Speaker 1: and you were all done up, and I remember I
- 1:59Speaker 1: said high and you were like hey, and it gave
- 2:03Speaker 1: me a hug, and I was just like, who is
- 2:05Speaker 1: this person?
- 2:05Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:06Speaker 2: What is this?
- 2:07Speaker 3: I will never for I remember that as well, because
- 2:09Speaker 3: I was supposed to do two full days on Jaman
- 2:11Speaker 3: of My audition was supposed to be two days, but
- 2:14Speaker 3: unfortunately there was a snowstorm out of my control. But
- 2:17Speaker 3: the whole time, Santi Ramiro on air being like, she
- 2:20Speaker 3: thinks she's better than Oscar.
- 2:21Speaker 2: She on the road.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Now we have to Now we're stuck with her for
- 2:23Speaker 3: a whole show. And this is before I'm even I'm
- 2:26Speaker 3: listening to this, before I'm even.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Doing my audition. And then I come in and I
- 2:29Speaker 2: got to act like I didn't hear any of that,
- 2:31Speaker 2: but then of course that came out within ten minutes.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Of course, I was like, remember what you guys were
- 2:34Speaker 3: saying about me yesterday, because because I do, Yeah, but.
- 2:37Speaker 1: You got you meshed. Well, I remember, because you know,
- 2:39Speaker 1: they were kind of auditioning and then talking about who
- 2:41Speaker 1: it should be. But I remember them saying like she's
- 2:44Speaker 1: going to be the one.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Well, and the fun fact is our boss, Dylan Sprague
- 2:47Speaker 3: didn't want it to be a miss.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Did you just say that?
- 2:49Speaker 2: It's true?
- 2:50Speaker 1: It is true. I didn't know you could say that publicly.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, he did. He didn't want me. He was pushing
- 2:54Speaker 2: for a different woman out of Philadelphia.
- 2:55Speaker 1: It wasn't because I know, but it was. We should explain.
- 2:58Speaker 1: It wasn't because he didn't like you.
- 2:59Speaker 3: No, you didn't think I was the He thought she
- 3:01Speaker 3: was the better fit. And she was older, and I
- 3:02Speaker 3: think she's way more experienced than I was.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I hadn't done radio. Well, I had done a small
- 3:07Speaker 2: sports station. I hadn't done radio like this.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, he pushed for for this other woman
- 3:12Speaker 3: from Philly and Santina Romiro pushed for me, And.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Here we are, all these years later, through many changes.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So many change, too many changes. Yeah, so like recent changes,
- 3:22Speaker 2: A lot of changes, A lot.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean we'll talk about that, the
- 3:25Speaker 1: changes recently. But okay, So twenty thirteen I met you.
- 3:29Speaker 1: You're from New Jersey. You're a D one basketball player.
- 3:32Speaker 1: You are excellent a basketball We know what I know
- 3:34Speaker 1: it Northeastern. You love to tell people that you are.
- 3:39Speaker 2: I mean, I have a few records out of all,
- 3:40Speaker 2: I don't bring it up.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It's fine. Don't they have your poster at Northeastern? Yeah, yeah,
- 3:44Speaker 1: there you go. So you grew up in Jersey, went
- 3:46Speaker 1: to Northeastern and played D one ball, went on the
- 3:48Speaker 1: Real World in what year?
- 3:50Speaker 2: I was on the Real World in two thousand and
- 3:52Speaker 2: nine in New.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Orleans and we went back to New Orleans because there
- 3:56Speaker 3: was an original New Orleans series and we went back
- 3:58Speaker 3: to Neworleans like pretty much right when I graduated college.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually, it's funny. I remember when I found out
- 4:02Speaker 1: you were on the show after I met you, and
- 4:04Speaker 1: I looked up New Orleans and you weren't in the cast.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I was so confused.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's crazy because I had just graduated college.
- 4:11Speaker 3: I was what twenty two years old, about to be
- 4:14Speaker 3: twenty three, and I was one of the older people
- 4:15Speaker 3: in the house, Like most of the people in there
- 4:17Speaker 3: had just her and they were fresh twenty one.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you could sum up that experience in
- 4:21Speaker 1: like the thirty seconds, wow, would you?
- 4:23Speaker 2: I mean, I would literally say it was pivotal to
- 4:26Speaker 2: my career.
- 4:27Speaker 3: I launched and got my first radio gig out of
- 4:29Speaker 3: the real world, and I think going into it That's
- 4:31Speaker 3: what I always knew I wanted to.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'm like, I need to be seen.
- 4:34Speaker 3: I need somebody in the industry to see me and
- 4:36Speaker 3: be like, wow, maybe she's meant for for more than
- 4:38Speaker 3: just this. And I was able to kind of like
- 4:40Speaker 3: pivot and get my first radio job in Saint Louis
- 4:43Speaker 3: from that sports station.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Like I said, but my boss at the time, he was.
- 4:46Speaker 3: A real world fanatic, and after the season was over,
- 4:50Speaker 3: he sent me a message and was like, listen, we
- 4:51Speaker 3: have an opening here in Saint Louis.
- 4:53Speaker 2: I don't know if you'd be willing to move, but
- 4:54Speaker 2: I think you'd be great. And then there.
- 4:56Speaker 1: It was, so you wanted to do sports radio or radio.
- 4:58Speaker 3: I wanted to do sports. I actually wanted to do TV.
- 5:01Speaker 3: I think was my first like love to do like
- 5:04Speaker 3: sports TV stuff. But then when I was playing basketball
- 5:08Speaker 3: at Northeastern, I did the local radio station there and
- 5:10Speaker 3: I was doing color commentary. So you know, for sportshead
- 5:13Speaker 3: they'll understand, but if you don't really watch sports, there's
- 5:16Speaker 3: gonna be the guy that actually passes the.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Ball to Justin and Justin's you know, five for two.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I was the color so I would be like, yeah,
- 5:22Speaker 3: and you know, Justin actually has quite the story and
- 5:24Speaker 3: I would kind of fill in, you know, and that
- 5:27Speaker 3: was like my first taste of radio. So then I
- 5:29Speaker 3: think after Real World course TV was number one. But
- 5:33Speaker 3: when I got that off or, I was like, this
- 5:34Speaker 3: is great, let's go. I went to Saint Louis and
- 5:36Speaker 3: the rest is history.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And then you applied here. Now you knew Jaman and
- 5:40Speaker 1: kiss wana wait I.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Didn't apply here if that was actually another funny story.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Oh you didn't.
- 5:44Speaker 2: No, I wrote Dylan.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Just like a threatening email, essentially being like you need me,
- 5:49Speaker 3: and he was like, who are you? He tells this
- 5:51Speaker 3: story all the time because they had no openings on
- 5:54Speaker 3: Jaman at the time, and I wanted to.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Be back in Boston so much because obviously I went to.
- 5:59Speaker 3: School here and my friends were here, and I was like,
- 6:01Speaker 3: you you may not have any openings, but you need me.
- 6:04Speaker 2: I have an X factor.
- 6:06Speaker 3: I'm telling you, like I'm made for this radio station,
- 6:08Speaker 3: like you should, you should meet me. So he was like, okay,
- 6:13Speaker 3: I guess like here's when I have an opening, and
- 6:14Speaker 3: I came and I sat down with him.
- 6:16Speaker 2: The full circle moment was when Pebble's left and.
- 6:19Speaker 3: There was an opening and he sent me and he
- 6:20Speaker 3: will be like, hey, we're going to audition some women.
- 6:23Speaker 2: You can finally come in. You bulled off. Oh okay,
- 6:25Speaker 2: see if you work.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Out see wow yeah yeah okay. But you knew of
- 6:30Speaker 1: jammen from going to school in Northeastern.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Used to listen to Jim and all the time, went
- 6:33Speaker 2: to monster jams all of.
- 6:35Speaker 3: The things, like we would pregame at Northeastern parties games
- 6:38Speaker 3: and we would put Jammin on.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and a huge Drake fans that.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Yeah. I named my dog after Drake and like old
- 6:46Speaker 3: school Drake, like I you know, I liked Drake when
- 6:48Speaker 3: Drake wasn't really as popular obviously as he is now.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. So that's so. Then, you know,
- 6:54Speaker 1: all through all the changes on Jammin, eventually you get
- 6:58Speaker 1: your own show.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Yes, you know, it was. There was a build up
- 7:01Speaker 2: to it. It didn't happen.
- 7:02Speaker 3: I had done pretty much every single day part to
- 7:04Speaker 3: get there. And then uh, Dylan again had asked me
- 7:08Speaker 3: to go. He wanted to say, I want to take
- 7:09Speaker 3: you out to dinner, like let's have a conversation and
- 7:12Speaker 3: you'll understand this.
- 7:14Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I don't want to get a
- 7:15Speaker 2: dinner to just take me to Chick fil A. I
- 7:17Speaker 2: love Chick fil A.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Yeah, So we went to the Burlington Mall and we
- 7:20Speaker 3: sat it at Chick fil A and he's like, it's time.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Like He's like, I wanted to do this over a
- 7:23Speaker 3: steak and like maybe some champagne and tell you that
- 7:26Speaker 3: it's time. You've you've you're ready for your own morning show. Like,
- 7:30Speaker 3: but here we are.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Eating nuggets and Chick fil A sauce and yeah. So
- 7:35Speaker 2: he said, you know you finally you're ready. Who do
- 7:37Speaker 2: you want?
- 7:38Speaker 3: I said, I won't do it if it's not with
- 7:40Speaker 3: Santi And Santio was at a country station at the time,
- 7:43Speaker 3: so he came over and then speaking of the recent changes,
- 7:45Speaker 3: I also.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Was like, I want to DJ FORRN on the show.
- 7:48Speaker 2: And that's how we started.
- 7:49Speaker 1: You built your own show.
- 7:50Speaker 2: I got to build my own show.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Yeah, which I think is a testament to him because
- 7:55Speaker 3: he trusted me enough to know what I needed at
- 7:58Speaker 3: the time to like get this going. I mean, he
- 7:59Speaker 3: will leaves in me a lot, but you know, I
- 8:02Speaker 3: think he just was like, what's going to make you
- 8:04Speaker 3: feel the most comfortable doing this?
- 8:07Speaker 1: And to give some reference to the listeners right now.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Santi worked for years on JAM and was let go,
- 8:13Speaker 1: laid off. That was kind of a hot situation, Okay.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because when he was like, oh him and
- 8:17Speaker 3: Ramira did this podcast at things, and so it was
- 8:20Speaker 3: uncomfortable around here for sure.
- 8:22Speaker 1: And then look at the power that you have. You said,
- 8:24Speaker 1: I want him, and they brought him back, which is amazing.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Well, and you know their relationship has certainly had its
- 8:30Speaker 3: up ups and downs, but that they're in a really
- 8:32Speaker 3: good place now.
- 8:32Speaker 2: And they've come a long way.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I mean, Santi's in his soul, he's not He's a
- 8:36Speaker 3: really great person and I think they just needed to
- 8:39Speaker 3: get past that.
- 8:40Speaker 2: And they did, absolutely did.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:42Speaker 2: I mean he wouldn't be here if they didn't. There
- 8:43Speaker 2: was no He's here because of it.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Yeah. So you brought up the changes, obviously, which is
- 8:48Speaker 1: partly of the reason I wanted to have you on
- 8:50Speaker 1: other than you're my friend and I love talking to you.
- 8:52Speaker 1: You're very easy to talk to.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Well, thank you, And to be honest, I'm glad you
- 8:56Speaker 3: brought it up because you are one of my best
- 8:58Speaker 3: friends and I'm very offensive of that and I have
- 9:01Speaker 3: been seeing you know, some of the comments and things
- 9:03Speaker 3: you've been getting and it hurts my heart.
- 9:05Speaker 2: And if it was worth it for me to.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Comment back to some of these people, I would, but
- 9:10Speaker 3: it pains me to see kind of like some of
- 9:12Speaker 3: the heat that you've been taking, as if you no offense, respectfully,
- 9:17Speaker 3: have any sort of power to stop a situation like this.
- 9:20Speaker 3: That day was so hard for every single one of us.
- 9:23Speaker 3: It was such a shock for every single one of us.
- 9:27Speaker 3: You know, I think a good example and I always
- 9:28Speaker 3: give this to people, is we were kind of told, hey,
- 9:30Speaker 3: stay in studios, go back. I texted my husband, I said,
- 9:33Speaker 3: I'm losing my job and we're gonna have to move
- 9:35Speaker 3: from the house in Marshfield, Like we're not going about
- 9:38Speaker 3: to afford it. I am losing my job today. That
- 9:40Speaker 3: is how much I didn't know. We didn't know. So
- 9:43Speaker 3: when I see people say things like that, you know
- 9:46Speaker 3: they're not listening to Kis Winwait anymore because of what
- 9:48Speaker 3: you did to Winnie or whatever. The situation like that
- 9:52Speaker 3: breaks my heart because that's so far from the truth.
- 9:54Speaker 3: And I'm sorry they have to deal with that. But
- 9:56Speaker 3: that's also like the nature of our business, which sucks.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Yeah, where public figures yea as they say that morning
- 10:01Speaker 1: that it all went down people. I really I've told
- 10:05Speaker 1: the story on this podcast before I realized I didn't
- 10:07Speaker 1: know what's happening. I walked out, I saw something was
- 10:09Speaker 1: happening with Winnie. I saw her crying. I immediately texted
- 10:12Speaker 1: you and I wrote, oh my god, oh my god,
- 10:14Speaker 1: something's happening with Winnie, and you wrote back DJ farign too,
- 10:18Speaker 1: and I was like, holy shit. Yeah, so it all
- 10:20Speaker 1: went on at once.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I have said this a million times.
- 10:23Speaker 3: I get emotional every time anybody losing their job is
- 10:26Speaker 3: just it's so horrifying. And the thing about the two
- 10:30Speaker 3: of them, they're going to be fine because they have
- 10:33Speaker 3: they have in it factor, they have something special that
- 10:35Speaker 3: doesn't make it any better. And you know when people
- 10:37Speaker 3: people will call in my show to tell me about
- 10:39Speaker 3: something else in the middle be like I miss born
- 10:40Speaker 3: and I'm like, the truth of the matter is.
- 10:42Speaker 2: I do too. Like I'm not going to hide that fact.
- 10:44Speaker 2: I do too. And it sucks because this is radio.
- 10:49Speaker 3: This is our business, and it's there's great things about
- 10:52Speaker 3: our business and there's really just shit things. I was
- 10:55Speaker 3: shocked that you said shit, because I forgot you can
- 10:57Speaker 3: say shit on here something.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Went not regulated by the FCS. So both of us
- 11:01Speaker 1: and both of our shows are adjusting to this kind
- 11:03Speaker 1: of new thing. Yeah, that's what it is. We're trying
- 11:05Speaker 1: to find our way. You know, you took a major
- 11:07Speaker 1: piece out of each show, and so here we are
- 11:10Speaker 1: trying to.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Like move forward fake time. But they hate has died down.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I think people are Initially we're very angry, and now
- 11:16Speaker 1: they're kind of like, okay, like we get it.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think in your situation too, if they
- 11:20Speaker 3: actually spoke to Winnie directly, she would say exactly what
- 11:23Speaker 3: we're saying. I talk to her me too, Yeah, you know,
- 11:27Speaker 3: and I And the same thing goes for foreign I
- 11:29Speaker 3: mean they love all of us.
- 11:30Speaker 2: It had nothing to do with us.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it sucks. It sucks.
- 11:35Speaker 3: I think in general, people get mad, they want to
- 11:37Speaker 3: blame somebody, they want to point fingers. I'm one of
- 11:39Speaker 3: them when things happen, like I kind of resonated in
- 11:43Speaker 3: my brain with like I love certain shows so much.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I fall in love with characters, right.
- 11:47Speaker 3: And when you watch a show like let's use Game
- 11:49Speaker 3: of Thrones for example, Kalisi dies, You're like, fuck this show.
- 11:52Speaker 2: I don't want to watch this show without Kalisi?
- 11:55Speaker 3: How am I gonna? And then you continue to watch
- 11:57Speaker 3: the show because you love the show. But there's a
- 11:59Speaker 3: part of the show. Oh that's missing, and that's kind
- 12:01Speaker 3: of where we're.
- 12:01Speaker 1: At transition here. You just brought something lease here, Yeah,
- 12:06Speaker 1: no about the TV shows. Well, I want to say
- 12:08Speaker 1: that you have two daughters I do all right, who

- 12:38Speaker 2: Some thought put into that. And my Halloween shoot is
- 12:40Speaker 2: like my super Bowl.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Yeah. One time I had an endorsement when I first
- 12:44Speaker 1: started getting them, and the client wanted social media as
- 12:47Speaker 1: part of it, and they wanted something like one feed
- 12:50Speaker 1: post a week and I was such a newbie to it.
- 12:53Speaker 1: I remember I said that to you, and you go,

- 13:07Speaker 2: live on.
- 13:08Speaker 1: So go check that out. It's a Halloween I don't
- 13:10Speaker 1: even know video photo shoot. It's incredible.
- 13:13Speaker 2: It's a combination. Listen.
- 13:15Speaker 3: It was extremely hard for me to get pregnant for
- 13:17Speaker 3: the second time, and when I did, I remember, this
- 13:19Speaker 3: is crazy.
- 13:20Speaker 2: This is crazy, ABC, All visits are crazy. I'm nuts.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I was pregnant and I thought to myself, we didn't
- 13:25Speaker 2: know what we were having.
- 13:26Speaker 3: But if it's a girl, oh my god, we can
- 13:27Speaker 3: beat the Sanderson Sisters for Halloween.
- 13:29Speaker 2: One year. Here we are. It has come to fruition,
- 13:32Speaker 2: the iconic Sisters.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I don't even know, like what went into this and
- 13:35Speaker 1: how much this possibly costs. All I know is I'm
- 13:39Speaker 1: sure your husband has no idea.
- 13:41Speaker 3: If he's not involved in it. He doesn't ask me anything.
- 13:45Speaker 3: But when he's involved. Then the questions come, so I.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Don't include him. Yeah, we don't need him.
- 13:49Speaker 1: So you have your two daughters. How old? How old
- 13:51Speaker 1: are they?
- 13:52Speaker 3: Daisy is a little over one and Leila is going
- 13:56Speaker 3: to be four in December, which is crazy.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that is crazy. So so Leila and Gemma are
- 14:01Speaker 1: right around the same age. Yes, And what's so funny
- 14:04Speaker 1: about this is I had children first, okay, And so
- 14:08Speaker 1: years ago we were working together. I was the show guy.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I watched all the shows. I had the recommendations. If
- 14:13Speaker 1: he needed the show, you came to justin.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Oh first, okay, And he was like at my disposal guys,
- 14:18Speaker 3: because I didn't have kids.
- 14:20Speaker 2: So I would call him six seven times a day,
- 14:21Speaker 2: and but did you watch? Did you watch? Did you watch?
- 14:23Speaker 2: And he'd be like, what do you not understanding?
- 14:26Speaker 3: Like, I'm knee deep in diapers right now, I'm trying
- 14:28Speaker 3: to figure out how to parents. I can't watch the
- 14:31Speaker 3: shows actually, Like I can't do this anymore like I
- 14:33Speaker 3: was doing.
- 14:33Speaker 1: You didn't get it.
- 14:34Speaker 2: I didn't get it. And fast forward.
- 14:36Speaker 3: If I watched ten minutes, ten minutes of one episode,
- 14:40Speaker 3: I'm like, honey, I'm winning for the day.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Ten minutes.
- 14:43Speaker 3: And if you have young kids like that, you understand
- 14:45Speaker 3: it's the fucking wild West in my house wild West.
- 14:47Speaker 3: So I get it now, and it obviously took me
- 14:50Speaker 3: having kids dinners.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Well, we connect a lot about the kids stuff too,
- 14:52Speaker 1: we do, and we talk on the phone every day,
- 14:54Speaker 1: and it's so funny because either your kids or my
- 14:57Speaker 1: kids are both will be in the background and we
- 14:59Speaker 1: don't even I don't even here.
- 15:00Speaker 2: We don't.
- 15:01Speaker 3: And by the way, when one of them starts crying,
- 15:03Speaker 3: we just go okay and we just hang up. We
- 15:04Speaker 3: don't need to say good bye anymore because it's like
- 15:06Speaker 3: an unwritten thing.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Nobody. You don't want to hear your own own kids
- 15:09Speaker 2: crying and whiny. I certainly don't want to hear someone
- 15:11Speaker 2: else is like, I'm good goodbye, right.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Yeah, So all right, So all is good
- 15:15Speaker 1: in your world?
- 15:16Speaker 3: I mean, today's a big day for me with the
- 15:18Speaker 3: Halloween photo shoot. Yeah, I mean, all is good is relative. Obviously,
- 15:22Speaker 3: we just chatted about it. Things have changed, but we
- 15:24Speaker 3: just we did a big live show on Friday in Salem,
- 15:28Speaker 3: and I cry. I get emotional, but I started crying
- 15:32Speaker 3: a little bit on air because it was six am
- 15:35Speaker 3: in Salem at Rockefellers, and there was already like thirteen
- 15:37Speaker 3: people at this bar and I couldn't believe it. Like
- 15:39Speaker 3: they set their alarms in the three to come see
- 15:41Speaker 3: us do the show, and then by eight thirty I
- 15:43Speaker 3: blinked and the place was just swamp.
- 15:45Speaker 2: There was so many people.
- 15:47Speaker 3: And you know, I say this all the time on
- 15:49Speaker 3: the show, And there are so many good radio stations
- 15:52Speaker 3: in Boston, yours included, So.
- 15:54Speaker 2: When people actively wake up and they choose.
- 15:56Speaker 3: To listen to ours or they listen to the podcast,
- 15:58Speaker 3: it really is the greatest compliment of all time because
- 16:00Speaker 3: you have so many options at your disposal, podcasts, all
- 16:04Speaker 3: the things. So I'm very appreciative when people choose to
- 16:08Speaker 3: listen to our show as.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Am I and I feel like with Kissing jam And
- 16:11Speaker 1: they've always been kind of, you know, competitors in a sense,
- 16:14Speaker 1: but we work.
- 16:15Speaker 2: And we're the ghetto.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Okay, Like kiss hits all the money, kiss one a
- 16:19Speaker 3: week gets all of the good prizes, Kiss one Awake
- 16:22Speaker 3: gets everything, Jamming gets nothing, and so that's the real,
- 16:25Speaker 3: that's the real.
- 16:26Speaker 1: All right. But I have noticed and I've found that
- 16:29Speaker 1: since your show has launched, right how many years now,
- 16:32Speaker 1: like seven? Yeah. I feel like before people either listen
- 16:36Speaker 1: to kiss or Jamming, they chose, they stuck with them,
- 16:38Speaker 1: but now they go back and forth. Yeah, so when
- 16:41Speaker 1: we go to commercial, they go to Ashley. When you
- 16:42Speaker 1: go to commercial, they come to us.
- 16:44Speaker 3: I know, we do have a lot of people that
- 16:45Speaker 3: go back and forth, and they love when we fight
- 16:46Speaker 3: or we have like something going on.
- 16:47Speaker 2: But I even got DM's like, oh my gosh, Justin
- 16:49Speaker 2: said you're coming on the.
- 16:50Speaker 3: After show and you're going to come on his podcast,
- 16:53Speaker 3: and so that just proves that people do go back
- 16:55Speaker 3: and forth. I don't want to cause beef. I think
- 16:57Speaker 3: our show is better, respectfully, but I have to, right,
- 17:00Speaker 3: you should you should feel that I should.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not well.
- 17:03Speaker 1: You also have an advantage, you know what that advantage is,
- 17:07Speaker 1: but the audience is different. You can talk about things
- 17:10Speaker 1: that are more sexual.
- 17:12Speaker 3: You know.
- 17:13Speaker 1: I can't talk about that.
- 17:14Speaker 2: I know you can, but you can't like you would,
- 17:18Speaker 2: but you can't.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Well, I also think like there's ways you don't have
- 17:21Speaker 3: to say like penis at six am like I do,
- 17:23Speaker 3: but you guys could.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Yeah, Billy can't be trusted.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll just say things because I want. I want
- 17:28Speaker 2: to know Lisa's thoughts on some things, you know.
- 17:30Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean they can't be trusted to not
- 17:34Speaker 1: to kind of ride the line if you will. So
- 17:37Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. But I know, I know, yeah,
- 17:40Speaker 1: So I love you.
- 17:41Speaker 2: You know that, Thank you for having me.
- 17:42Speaker 3: I will come on more often if the people want
- 17:44Speaker 3: it at Oh, really, sure we can make it.
- 17:47Speaker 2: We can make it a thing.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Can I share one final story?
- 17:50Speaker 2: Please? I'm wondering.
- 17:52Speaker 1: It's a good story. It's a good story. This really
- 17:54Speaker 1: just goes to show the kind of friend that you are.
- 17:57Speaker 1: I told you this recently. I reminded you. But years ago,
- 18:00Speaker 1: I was going through a tough time with my wife Jen,
- 18:03Speaker 1: and I was under the belief I really believed that
- 18:06Speaker 1: she didn't love me anymore, and that she didn't find
- 18:08Speaker 1: me attractive, and that she did not want to sleep
- 18:10Speaker 1: with me, and that she was just with me because
- 18:12Speaker 1: we had kids. That's it, I convinced myself. And it
- 18:16Speaker 1: got to a point where we weren't talking and I
- 18:18Speaker 1: was like it's over, Like it's over. So one day
- 18:21Speaker 1: I called Ashley. I was walking in a park by
- 18:24Speaker 1: myself and I called her and I'm like, I'm just
- 18:26Speaker 1: gonna tell her, like I'm gonna leave my wife. And
- 18:28Speaker 1: I laid it all out to her, like an hour
- 18:31Speaker 1: long talk, and she was like, are you fucking out
- 18:36Speaker 1: of your mind? She goes, are you done? I go yeah,
- 18:40Speaker 1: she goes, okay, and then she proceeded to just lay
- 18:42Speaker 1: into me for like twenty minutes, and I'll tell you,
- 18:45Speaker 1: by the end of it, I was like, oh my god, yeah,
- 18:47Speaker 1: like what am I thinking? Yeah, you know, and you
- 18:49Speaker 1: gave me advice, which was between us of things that
- 18:52Speaker 1: I need to do and to work on. And I
- 18:53Speaker 1: did those things and I'll never forget like when it
- 18:55Speaker 1: wore turned around and we entered this new chapter in
- 18:58Speaker 1: our marriage and we were all good. I was thinking
- 19:00Speaker 1: about you and I'm like, imagine if I never called culture, I'm.
- 19:03Speaker 2: So thankful that you did.
- 19:04Speaker 3: And you know what, this is a real testament to
- 19:06Speaker 3: our friendship because we will both you know, we will
- 19:08Speaker 3: say what we want to say, and sometimes it's hurtful.
- 19:10Speaker 3: But you look at someone like Britney Spears and you're like,
- 19:12Speaker 3: it's sad she has no real friends, she has no
- 19:14Speaker 3: one to sit her town and be like, get out
- 19:16Speaker 3: of your foolia get better, extensions, stop, be a good mom.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Just have anybody she just has. Yes, people say you
- 19:22Speaker 3: always need someone that's going to tell you by yourself
- 19:24Speaker 3: you do and by the way, and let's and also
- 19:28Speaker 3: marriage is a lot of work.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Just in general, we can get a lot of Marriage
- 19:30Speaker 2: is a full time job as well.
- 19:32Speaker 1: It's definitely a lot.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a lot.

- 19:43Speaker 3: Said to me many a time, sometimes I wish you
- 19:45Speaker 3: just worked at like Duncan. Yeah, you know, he hates
- 19:48Speaker 3: the the attention of it all. But he's the best dude.
- 19:51Speaker 3: He definitely compliments me. He's the office, yeah of me.
- 19:54Speaker 1: One of the first things that was said to me
- 19:56Speaker 1: by an experienced person in radio when I was an
- 19:58Speaker 1: intern was that they said, if you continue to work
- 20:02Speaker 1: in radio, you're gonna learn that the people that matter
- 20:04Speaker 1: the most in your life, right, that mean the most,
- 20:07Speaker 1: do not give one fuck that you work on the radio.
- 20:10Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And it's so true. My
- 20:11Speaker 1: wife doesn't care. My wife listens to your fucking show. Okay,
