  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Welcome into the after show podcast. Justin here.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for tuning in. Wrapping up the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: week on the Billy and Lisa show with a final
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: after show on this Friday, September 11th, 25 year anniversary
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of 9-11. A somber day, day of remembrance. We did
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of that in the show today. I encourage you.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to listen to the podcast of the Billy and Lisa
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: show today. I thought we did the best that we could. We,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: we had to balance it out. You know, we, we
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: did a lot of nine 11 stuff. We took a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: ton of calls, a ton of talkbacks, um, you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: kind of reliving 25 years ago, nine 11, 2001. We
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: also had Lisa's friend on who lost her mom. She
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was on one of the planes, just a unbelievable story.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Obviously her mom passed, but a year later, They found
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: under a ton of rubble her mom's wedding ring. She
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: didn't actually say this, but this is the after show,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: so we can say whatever we want. The ring was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: found on her mother's hand, and that's all that was found.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: The hand and the ring that was on the finger.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: That was it. She left that part out. Obviously, it's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: on the radio, but crazy, crazy, crazy. But now she
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: has the ring, and she wears it, as she said,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: every single day. I thought she was fantastic. She spoke
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to the kids at Emerson last week about 9-11. A
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: lot of those kids were not born, right? All of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: them weren't born yet if they're in college and kind
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of explaining 9-11, explaining the story of her mom. And
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: one of the kids had a question like, I don't
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: see what the big deal is here. It's happened because
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they weren't alive at that time, like producer Riley. She
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was only one years old. She doesn't know like pre-9-11
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and post-9-11, right? The TSA changes that they made when
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: she's flying, she never knows what it was like before that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: So it's a great day of remembrance. We took a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: lot of calls, a lot of talkbacks with people's memories
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of where they were. And we really highlighted the fact
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that Maddie and Billy were on the air and they
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: were broadcasting and they stayed on the air for like 10,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: 12 years. And there was one talkbacker that talked about
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: being in the car with her kid and hearing Billy
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: say America is under attack. That is not even the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: same woman. I shared that story. That's a different woman.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that had the same story, driving her young child to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: school and then reporting of the planes hitting the building,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: staying on the air, and then Billy giving news updates
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and then saying America is under attack. And she pulled
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: over on the side of the road and she started
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: crying and she hugged her baby. I was a teenager.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I was living in Malden at the time. I was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: affected by it, obviously. I was obviously on drugs, unfortunately.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It's part of my story. And my memory of it
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is I was in my grandfather's house and he put
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it on. It was on the TV. We watched it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It was, you know, unbelievable. And then I went and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: met up with all my friends and we were convinced
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in our, you know, drugged up minds that we were
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: going to war pretty much. So we got it all
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: gathered at Green Street Park in Malden. And we kind
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of some people brought weapons. Like, I don't know what
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that's going to do a bad. And we kind of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: just partied it up and waited for war. We thought
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: maybe they were going to come because we really didn't know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: No one knew. Were there more attacks coming? Was it
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: only the beginning? No one had any idea. I don't
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: like to publicly share that like on the radio about
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the stupid friends. That's just where I was at. Lisa
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was in New York. She talked about that, being in
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: New York when the planes hit the towers. And then
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the other side of that is obviously the unity that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: came from that, Americans coming together and all the victims
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and the heroes, the people that were in the towers
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that passed and the victims that– the heroes that ran in.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You know, that, you know, Wells Crowther, Crowther, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the man in the red bandana. He saved 18 people's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: lives running up and down the stairs. There's so many
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: stories like that. So, yeah, 9-11, 25 years. We always remember.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So go check out the podcast, please. All right. We're
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: wrapping up the week here. Monday was a surprise guest.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I talked about it. Billy and Lisa had no idea
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: who the guest was. Well, it was Sporty Spice. Melanie C,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Mel C from the Spice Girls. Monday night in Royale.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: She was scheduled to be in the studio Monday morning.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It was going to be a big surprise for Billy
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and Lisa. I was going to walk her in in
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the middle of the show while they were live, get
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: their live reaction. There's been a ton of planning behind this,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and she canceled, unfortunately, last night. Yeah, I woke up
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to an email this morning. They couldn't get the schedule done.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I guess she has to get glammed for her show.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And she could not line it up. I know it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but when you kind of work in showbiz,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you understand. It is crazy, but it's not. They have
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: these teams of glam that get them ready for their
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: shows and things like that. And doing a morning show,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I guess, can interfere with all of that. And it
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: really is working in the media. You really see the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: other side of the celebrity world when it comes to music,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: when it comes to actors. Obviously, I've been around a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: lot of artists, a lot of actors. I've met a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: lot of people. And it's always cool. You know, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: talk about that. It's always cool, but it's not as
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: cool as it was in the beginning. The novelty has
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: worn off. You know, if I'm not like hype to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: post a picture of a celebrity and I, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it's just been it's been many years. Somebody is really cool.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I'll post it. But typically it's it's just part kind
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of what I do. You know, it's still cool. I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: know it. But when you see the other side of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: these these artists, these celebrities, you know, they're surrounded by people.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: They have a team around them. That kind of help
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: them make the decisions for the artist. You know, some
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: are nicer than others, but I've also learned that, especially
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: when it comes to music artists, that when they come in,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: they're on a tour. They're on a tour for whatever
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: music they have, but they're also on a radio tour. So,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you know, we might be the last stop on the tour.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So they've done every radio station in, you know, 20, 30,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: 40 cities. They get here and they're tired. So you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: don't get the best interview or they're a little bit
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: moody or they're going through something because at the end
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of the day, they're just human. And that's one thing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I learned about meeting famous people is they don't want
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to be treated like they're famous. They know they're famous.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: They want to be treated like regular people. So I
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: never try to get too excited. I'm trying to think
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: about someone I met where I was excited. It would
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: probably be rappers from the 90s because I was really
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: into Jay-Z, Nas. So when those rappers came in, Fabulous
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was one that came in. I was very excited about that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: That's actually one of the cooler stories because he came
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: in with another rapper, Pusha T, and it was at
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: 5 o'clock, not in the morning. I came back for it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And so it was DJ Pupdog, myself, Pusha T, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Fabulous in the studio, just us four. Pup did his interview.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And then after, we were just kind of talking, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Pusha T got pulled out by his guy to go
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: do something. And literally, Fabulous sat there with myself and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: DJ Pupdog and talked for like an hour. I asked
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: every single question that I had, other rappers, about his music,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: just fanboying. I hope I didn't come across like too
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: much of a fanboy, but I was definitely fanboying. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: he answered all the questions. It was one of the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: coolest conversations to– because a lot of these celebrities, you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: meet them real quick, right? They come in for an interview.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: You say hi, chit-chat, and then they leave. You take
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a picture with them and they leave. But that's one
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of the rare times that I had a good conversation about–
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: something that I'm into. So that was cool. Another cool
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: one was Marlon Wayans. And again, this is a rap
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: story because when I was young, I was really, really
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: into rap. I've always been into all kinds of music,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: mainly like pop and rap, a little bit of dance music,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit of rock and roll too. I like
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: all music. I'm not like when I was young, it
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: was mainly rap. My musical taste has changed as time
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: went on. So Marlon Wayans came in the last time
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and I really, really, really wanted to talk to him
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: about Tupac. Because he was very close with Tupac. They
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: were good friends. There's an infamous picture of the Notorious B.I.G.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and Tupac that was taken. And it's usually cropped. They
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: cropped the picture down so it's them two in the photo.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: They're wearing these leather vests and bandanas. But Marlon Wayans
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is in the picture. They cropped him out. But in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the background is a very young Marlon Wayans. So after
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the interview, Marlon had another spot he had to go to.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: So we come out and I said goodbye to him.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Thanks for coming in. And I said, I wish we
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: had more time together because there's so many questions that
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'd like to ask you. And he goes, what do
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you want to know about Tupac? He just pulled that
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: out out of nowhere. And I was like, yeah. And
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he was so cool. He goes, I got you. Tupac
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was nothing like he portrayed himself to be. Tupac was
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: not a gangster. He was actually a theater kid and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a very nice, kind soul who took on the role
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of a gangster. And he played that part all the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: way to the end. But he was nothing like he
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: was portrayed to be. And he was one of my
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: close friends. And he wouldn't care if I told you
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that because it was the truth. But he said something
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: like that. I was like, oh, my God. And he goes,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: next time we'll talk more about it. And he walked away. Oh,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: my God. The group chat was popping down. with my friends.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I was, I could not just couldn't believe it. It
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: was really cool. So it's always great when you spend
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: more time with them. Jingle ball is another example or
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: kiss concert. When the artists come back, not all of them,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: but some of them, they'll come back to the interview
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and then they'll just hang out and talk shine down. Great,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: great band. They did that at kiss concert. Also when
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the last time they came to Boston, I went with
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: my son. It was his first concert. I spent some
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: time with them, with Brent and the whole band. That
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: was cool too. So yeah, bringing it back to Mel C,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: when I see that email, I'm like, it's fine. I understand.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I don't get mad about it. I understand. If she
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: could come in, she would. But the glam that she
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: has to get for her show Monday night is more
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: important than getting up early and coming into the radio.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: It just is what it is. If she could, she would.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So no surprise guest. But in a couple weeks, we
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: have a guest. Not a surprise, but Craig Robinson from
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The Office. Daryl from The Office is coming back to Boston.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Laugh Boston. He's coming into the studio. That's on the schedule.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Has not been canceled or changed. So that's good. All right.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Busy weekend for me. We have baseball starting. We have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: my High Rocks training. I got a class tomorrow and Sunday.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: High Rocks Boston, four weeks away. People hit me up,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: wishing me luck. Thank you. I hope to just make
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it through. I hope to not cramp. I hope to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Get a decent time, but really just make it through
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: with my first one. I'm doing a double with my
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: friend Mike. We've been training hard. I got my watch,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: AmazeFit watch, which is the official watch for High Rocks.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And also I just bought some new sneakers. So I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: would say I'm ready to go. Have a great weekend.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Anything happens, always hit the talk backs, questions, comments. You
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: know where I'm at. I love you guys. After Show Army.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And we'll talk Monday.
