Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: After show, Army, what is up? Happy Opening day? It's Friday.
- 0:05Speaker 1: We're feeling good. I'm feeling good. It's a little dreary
- 0:08Speaker 1: outside the opening day. It's very gray out there. It's
- 0:11Speaker 1: ten o'clock in the morning, actually ten oh nine. The
- 0:13Speaker 1: show just wrapped up. Busy Friday show. So feeling good.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Weekends here, Opening day. Hopefully the socks can, I don't know,
- 0:20Speaker 1: get a little better. They're on a slump right now.
- 0:22Speaker 1: But Opening day is always a fun time. We actually
- 0:25Speaker 1: had that as a topic on the show this morning,
- 0:26Speaker 1: if you missed it. Our favorite Fenway memories, and I
- 0:30Speaker 1: always say my memory is going with my dad and
- 0:34Speaker 1: the urinal tromps. They had, you know, these big cylinders
- 0:37Speaker 1: that you'd pee in, and so you know, picture all
- 0:39Speaker 1: these drunk guys, no like barricades or anything, just standing
- 0:45Speaker 1: around this trop all peeing, and picture young justin six, seven,
- 0:48Speaker 1: eight years old. I have to go to the bathroom.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I go in there, I can't pee. I have my
- 0:53Speaker 1: little thing out. I'm looking at all these giant, big
- 0:56Speaker 1: things that I've never seen before. Everyone's drunk. Everyone's yelling.
- 0:59Speaker 1: My dad's in the behind me yelling, come on, go
- 1:02Speaker 1: to the bathroom. Come on, I gotta get back to
- 1:03Speaker 1: the game. It was a whole thing. So that's one
- 1:06Speaker 1: of the many memories that I have of going to
- 1:08Speaker 1: to Fenway, but the whole experience of taking the train
- 1:11Speaker 1: there because I grew up in Malden right next to
- 1:13Speaker 1: Malden station, so we take the Orange line to the
- 1:16Speaker 1: Green line and you know, take the green line over
- 1:18Speaker 1: to ken Moore and that's how we got there. So
- 1:20Speaker 1: that was an experience too, especially coming home after the
- 1:23Speaker 1: game and just everyone drunk and having a good time.
- 1:26Speaker 1: And there I was young, justin so opening day very
- 1:30Speaker 1: special for me. I only been one time. I think
- 1:33Speaker 1: it was two thousand and sixteen. I was there, had
- 1:36Speaker 1: great seats thanks to the radio station. So yeah, go sucks. Anyway,
- 1:42Speaker 1: the talkbacks are working for the after show. There was
- 1:44Speaker 1: an issue, as I predicted. I had said yesterday on
- 1:47Speaker 1: the show, leave a talkback as a test, and of
- 1:49Speaker 1: course you guys obliged. I love you guys, the best
- 1:52Speaker 1: army in the world. But I got the email yesterday
- 1:55Speaker 1: afternoon that there was an issue and it has been resolved.
- 1:58Speaker 1: So that's good army members.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Checking in, just doing our dude, Jillian, I can't even speak,
- 2:04Speaker 2: so we're not playing this.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I'm just doing this so you can see if you're
- 2:07Speaker 1: talk pack works. Have a great day. Oh I'm playing it.
- 2:09Speaker 1: If you leave a talkback, I'm playing it. I don't care.
- 2:12Speaker 2: It's fine, but yeah, hi, this is me testing the
- 2:15Speaker 2: talkback mind. But justin you should get the good Read
- 2:20Speaker 2: to a because you can add all the books that
- 2:23Speaker 2: you've read, and you can review them, like by the
- 2:26Speaker 2: number of stars that you read it. And you can
- 2:30Speaker 2: also like connect with your friends on it and like
- 2:33Speaker 2: see what they've read and what they think about books
- 2:36Speaker 2: and get ideas from them.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Oh that's a good idea. I'll look into that for sure.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get a library card because I
- 2:42Speaker 1: don't have one, and I can't keep going at this
- 2:45Speaker 1: pace of buying a book, reading in a couple of days,
- 2:48Speaker 1: and then just what do you do with the book?
- 2:50Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you can leave it on the
- 2:52Speaker 1: bookshelf or just give it away. That's what I've been
- 2:55Speaker 1: doing the first couple that I read. I just give
- 2:57Speaker 1: the book away. But why not get a library card?
- 2:59Speaker 1: You know, I can go take out books there and
- 3:02Speaker 1: read them. So I'm on Verity right now. The chick book,
- 3:06Speaker 1: which I really do like. I didn't know was a
- 3:08Speaker 1: chick book. That's talked about that story yesterday. Interesting. Even
- 3:11Speaker 1: my wife was shaming me. But I like it, Colleen Hoover.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I'm about halfway through. It's good. The twist is coming.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I can feel it. And one of you guys left
- 3:20Speaker 1: me a DM and you know rave reviews about all
- 3:23Speaker 1: these about the book, tons and tons of dms, but
- 3:26Speaker 1: a couple of them did say that they start to
- 3:29Speaker 1: become predictable. And I think what makes a great great book,
- 3:33Speaker 1: which I'm assuming is like Verity, is you can't see
- 3:36Speaker 1: the twist coming. So I have an idea in my
- 3:39Speaker 1: head of what the twist is going to be. We'll
- 3:41Speaker 1: see if I'm right or not. I will say I
- 3:43Speaker 1: did predict it on The House a Housemaid. I like
- 3:46Speaker 1: The Housemaid. The book. The movie was good too. The
- 3:48Speaker 1: book was really good, but I did predict what the
- 3:50Speaker 1: twist was. I won't say it in case you haven't
- 3:52Speaker 1: read the book or I haven't seen the movie, but
- 3:55Speaker 1: I should be finished with Verity. I think by today,
- 3:58Speaker 1: honestly or tomorrow. I'm like halfway through. I did order
- 4:01Speaker 1: a more masculine book that'll be here on Sunday, and
- 4:06Speaker 1: that is Project Hail Mary. I'm not a big sci
- 4:09Speaker 1: fi guy, but you know, I had mentioned I want
- 4:12Speaker 1: to be able to read books and then watch the movie.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So The Housemaid I did that with, and then a
- 4:17Speaker 1: Verity I believe is becoming a movie in October, and
- 4:21Speaker 1: then Project can Mary obviously is in theaters, so I'm
- 4:23Speaker 1: going to read that and then watch the movie. So
- 4:26Speaker 1: that's where I'm at with that. I'm loving the reading.
- 4:29Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, obviously I read a lot
- 4:32Speaker 1: when I was younger in jail. That's what you do,
- 4:36Speaker 1: you read. But even after that, when I had gotten
- 4:38Speaker 1: out and I was on the street, I would go
- 4:40Speaker 1: through periods where I would bang books. And I've always
- 4:43Speaker 1: been kind of a fast reader. So it's kind of
- 4:46Speaker 1: nostalgic to start reading again and getting getting back into it.
- 4:50Speaker 1: And how you know you locked in is when I
- 4:52Speaker 1: can't wait to have time to myself to read. It's
- 4:55Speaker 1: hard with kids, but I give an example. On Wednesday night,
- 5:00Speaker 1: my son had baseball practice. My wife goes, are you
- 5:03Speaker 1: going to take him? I go, of course, I'll take them,
- 5:05Speaker 1: And then I said, unless you want to if you
- 5:07Speaker 1: want to kind of a break to get out of
- 5:08Speaker 1: the house, I'll stay here with Gemma. She was like, hmm,
- 5:11Speaker 1: that's an idea, and then she said, yeah, I'll take them.
- 5:15Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm gonna be honest with you.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I would have taken them, but a part of me
- 5:19Speaker 1: is like, I hope I don't so I can read
- 5:21Speaker 1: my book because my daughter's easy. Right, we hang out,
- 5:24Speaker 1: she plays with her toys, and then I can read.
- 5:27Speaker 1: And I had a Lisa moment. I don't know if
- 5:29Speaker 1: I shared this on the podcast. So if you ever
- 5:31Speaker 1: hear the story of why Lisa started Lisa's Book Club
- 5:34Speaker 1: and why she picked up reading, it's because she was
- 5:37Speaker 1: reading a book one day and Riley was like her
- 5:39Speaker 1: son was like, why are you reading? What are you doing?
- 5:42Speaker 1: I've never seen you read, or something like no, no, no, sorry,
- 5:45Speaker 1: that wasn't it. She had asked him to read, said hey, Riley,
- 5:49Speaker 1: you should read more, and he looked at her and goes,
- 5:52Speaker 1: why you don't read? I've never seen you read. And
- 5:55Speaker 1: so that was kind of what gave her the motivation.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I mixed up my story with her. Sorry, it's been
- 6:00Speaker 1: a long day in a long week, with me. When
- 6:03Speaker 1: I picked up reading the first time. My son walked in.
- 6:06Speaker 1: He looked at me and goes, Dad, what are you doing?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Are you reading? But you never read? Well that's going
- 6:12Speaker 1: to change, young and now all you're gonna do is
- 6:15Speaker 1: see me read. You won't see me on my phone,
- 6:18Speaker 1: all right. You might, well you might, but you're gonna
- 6:20Speaker 1: see me reading a majority of the time. That's what's happened.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Anytime that I have any downtime at the house, I'm
- 6:24Speaker 1: on the couch, sitting or laying reading my book. So
- 6:27Speaker 1: I'm all in on reading. So that's good and I'm
- 6:29Speaker 1: so happy the talkbacks are working again. Let's go.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Hey, Guston, just send me a talkback because you said
- 6:34Speaker 2: it wasn't working, so this is a little test for you.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Also, as soon as you said there was a surprise
- 6:39Speaker 1: guest for the after show, I knew it was your wife.
- 6:42Speaker 1: I'm excited to hear from Jen. So glad you finally got.
- 6:45Speaker 2: From the show.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Can't wait.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Hope you have a good.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Rest of the day.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Bye.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I teased this yesterday. I think the tease
- 6:51Speaker 1: was a little bit too good. I didn't say it
- 6:54Speaker 1: was my wife, but you could put two and two together. Yeah,
- 7:00Speaker 1: it pretty much is. Hey, justin leaving a talk back
- 7:03Speaker 1: just to see if it works. Another thing. So excited
- 7:07Speaker 1: to have jen On. I can't wait to hear how
- 7:09Speaker 1: you are and you know, the real life.
- 7:13Speaker 2: And also as far as thriller books, Freedom McFadden. You
- 7:18Speaker 2: just read her with the Housemaid. Her book Never Lie
- 7:22Speaker 2: was so good.
- 7:23Speaker 1: It's one of those ones. Oh the whole time, you
- 7:24Speaker 1: think you know what's going on, Nope, not a clue.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Try it. Oh maybe I will after project him, Mary,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I got I gotta break the streak of the of
- 7:33Speaker 1: the chick books. So I was, you know, my wife
- 7:35Speaker 1: can look at me as a man again. I'm just kidding.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that my wife is going to come on
- 7:40Speaker 1: the show. I think it's gonna be Wednesday. She looked
- 7:43Speaker 1: at a schedule and it looks like Wednesday works for
- 7:46Speaker 1: her as far as you know, her meetings and things
- 7:49Speaker 1: like that for her job. So she agreed to come on,
- 7:52Speaker 1: which you know, it didn't even take much pushing and pressing.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I just basically said, well, you come on my after
- 7:58Speaker 1: show podcast, and she said, yeah, how come on. But
- 8:01Speaker 1: she wants to know what we're going to talk about.
- 8:02Speaker 1: And I had to explain to her. You know, I
- 8:05Speaker 1: host the podcast. I know you don't listen to it.
- 8:07Speaker 1: You've never listened to it. But you just come in
- 8:09Speaker 1: and we'll have a conversation. I'll ask questions, we'll talk
- 8:12Speaker 1: to each other. It's a super fun, loose thing. We'll
- 8:15Speaker 1: talk about, you know, our relationship, our family, our story,
- 8:20Speaker 1: how we got together. And by the way, if you
- 8:23Speaker 1: have any questions for my wife that you would like answered,
- 8:28Speaker 1: you can leave a talkback starting now and I will
- 8:31Speaker 1: love to play some talkbacks for her and kind of
- 8:33Speaker 1: show her what we do, what I do, what we do,
- 8:36Speaker 1: what the army does. Because she has no idea. She
- 8:39Speaker 1: doesn't listen. She doesn't even listen to the show. You know,
- 8:41Speaker 1: Like I get in the car she is jamming on.
- 8:43Speaker 1: I mean, I get that she likes the music on
- 8:45Speaker 1: jamming more and obviously Ashley is our friend, but got
- 8:47Speaker 1: I'm married to her. You think she would listen more.
- 8:49Speaker 1: She does listen. But you know, these are the things
- 8:51Speaker 1: we're going to discuss on Wednesday. How's that? So get
- 8:54Speaker 1: your questions in on the iHeart app. So have an
- 8:57Speaker 1: awesome weekend, everybody. I'm going to see the Super Mario
- 8:59Speaker 1: Brothers moved on Saturday night. Happy Easter on Sunday. I'm
- 9:03Speaker 1: gonna be having it at my house. Lots of food.
- 9:05Speaker 1: I'm talking ham, lamb stuffshells, meatballs, carrot cake. So the
- 9:09Speaker 1: whole gang will be there, of course, my family and
- 9:12Speaker 1: my buddy Mike is coming. Alan the Plumber is coming, who,
- 9:15Speaker 1: by the way, okay, is the fucking MVP. My good friend,
- 9:21Speaker 1: one of my best friends, Alan the Plumber. Okay, I've
- 9:23Speaker 1: talked about him on the podcast. He's been on the podcast.
- 9:27Speaker 1: He's a plumber who has helped me tremendously with plumbing
- 9:31Speaker 1: issues at my house. But you know he's a handy man.
- 9:33Speaker 1: He's a handy guy, right, he can fix different things.
- 9:36Speaker 1: The recliner on my sofar broke. My son put it
- 9:41Speaker 1: up the other day. It wouldn't go back down. It's
- 9:43Speaker 1: going to a lever on it. We got it about
- 9:46Speaker 1: five years ago, right, and so it's not working. I
- 9:50Speaker 1: can't get it to go up or down. It does
- 9:52Speaker 1: have power. So I call the place. I'm not gonna
- 9:56Speaker 1: name the place because it doesn't matter. I call the place.
- 10:00Speaker 1: They look up the order number and they said, oh, yes,
- 10:03Speaker 1: you did buy the warranty, it's for five years. Unfortunately
- 10:08Speaker 1: you bought it on March twenty first, twenty twenty one.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Would you believe the irony in this? I was two
- 10:16Speaker 1: weeks away from getting it covered under the warranty, but
- 10:20Speaker 1: because it passed and I was over the five years,
- 10:23Speaker 1: nothing nothing. So I said to the guys, do you
- 10:26Speaker 1: have a service, and they're like, yeah, but you have
- 10:28Speaker 1: to pay for it. I said, I'll call you back,
- 10:30Speaker 1: let me figure it out. So then I tried to
- 10:32Speaker 1: think about, you know, who would fix power recliners. I
- 10:35Speaker 1: called a couple of upholstery places. Was getting nowhere. I
- 10:38Speaker 1: couldn't do it. So my buddy, Alan, the plumber, I
- 10:41Speaker 1: sawna buddy, came over last night and okay, so the
- 10:45Speaker 1: recliner so it's a sectional, okay, and so the middle recliner,
- 10:50Speaker 1: the one that I use gets a lot of high use,
- 10:52Speaker 1: it was stuck up. So yesterday when we were trying
- 10:55Speaker 1: to fix it, my wife and I, she put it down.
- 10:57Speaker 1: She forced the front down, so it was kind of
- 11:00Speaker 1: lopsided because the back was stuck back and then the
- 11:04Speaker 1: front was down, so it was kind of like leaning up.
- 11:07Speaker 1: It looked very weird. It didn't fit into the couch anymore.
- 11:10Speaker 1: So when Alan came over, I'm like, dude, do you
- 11:12Speaker 1: know anybody that can fix power recliners? And he's like,
- 11:15Speaker 1: honestly no, but I'll look at it. This guy takes
- 11:19Speaker 1: the whole couch apart, gets on YouTube, looks up a
- 11:22Speaker 1: couple of things, tries some wires, has some ideas. He
- 11:26Speaker 1: figures out what the problem is and fixes it. Well,
- 11:32Speaker 1: it'll be totally fixed today. So what he found. What
- 11:35Speaker 1: he realized was there's an adapter like a power adapter,
- 11:40Speaker 1: so to see if it was the motor or the adapter.
- 11:43Speaker 1: What he did was he switched out the adapter with
- 11:46Speaker 1: another piece of the couch, another power recliner, and it worked.
- 11:51Speaker 1: So that means the motor is good, but that adapter
- 11:54Speaker 1: was broken. He figured it out. So we put the
- 11:58Speaker 1: good one in the mice there and the other one
- 12:01Speaker 1: on the end. The power recliner needs a new one,
- 12:04Speaker 1: say order one on Amazon twenty bucks, will be here
- 12:06Speaker 1: today and hopefully he'll come back on back to my
- 12:09Speaker 1: house tonight and put it in. All right. I couldn't
- 12:12Speaker 1: believe that he Oh, he fixed it, which is really good.
- 12:16Speaker 1: So thank you to Alan. If he listens. He listens
- 12:18Speaker 1: to this podcast sometimes, which I appreciate. My recline is fixed,
- 12:22Speaker 1: so it's saved me the money to get it fixed
- 12:24Speaker 1: or to go buy a new one, So thank you
- 12:26Speaker 1: to him. Have an awesome weekend, everybody. Big week coming
- 12:29Speaker 1: up next week. Also, Billy's gonna be out Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
- 12:32Speaker 1: He is going to Paris with his wife. I think
- 12:35Speaker 1: it's her birthday. Yeah, it's our birthday. So he's surprising her. So,
- 12:38Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be a little bit of a
- 12:40Speaker 1: shakeup on the show next week. We'll have some fillings
- 12:42Speaker 1: and well maybe it'll just be Lisa and I and
- 12:44Speaker 1: producer Riley. I don't know. You never know what's going
- 12:46Speaker 1: to happen on this show. That's what makes it fun.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Have a great weekend,
