I went to Laft Boston, 12 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: saw Vinnie from the Jersey Shore with my wife and 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: a yeah, let me tell you about a flex. Okay, 14 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: so my wife is completely unimpressed with Okay, let me 15 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: rephrase that. My wife is my biggest supporter. She is 16 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: so happy for me and so proud of me, and 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm so proud of her and what she's done in 18 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: her life. I always say, you know, what she's been 19 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: able to do in her career, coming from where she 20 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: came from is way more cool, cooler than what I 21 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: was able to do. I know, it's flashier to work 22 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: on the radio and to meet famous people and all 23 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: that stuff and get right nice or whatever. But what 24 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: she's done, you know, coming from you know, a seventh 25 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: grade education, to many jails and detoxes and drug addiction 26 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: and homelessness, all that stuff, to become a nurse, you know, 27 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: and get a job in the detox that she got 28 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: clean in and was in so many times is always 29 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: so much cooler than what I do. So I say 30 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: that to say she loves me and supports me. But 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: you know what I do is she's kind of over it. 32 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: You know, she likes it, but you know it's not 33 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: like I'm She's, oh, you met this person, you met 34 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,279 Speaker 1: that person. But there are a couple of exceptions, okay, 35 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: one of which is post malone. She loves post Malone. 36 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: I get her tickets every single time. It's the only 37 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: ticket that she asked for. And she loves the Jersey Shore. 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: So when she found out that Vinnie was coming in, 39 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: because we were at Left Boston a couple of weeks 40 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: ago Valentine's Day, we went to that married couple's comedy 41 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: show and it's had Vinnie on the on the screen, 42 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: so she said, could you get tickets to that? I said, 43 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: let me ask. So I out to my guys at 44 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Left Boston. We've had a long relationship with them, and 45 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: they said, yeah, no problem. I said, can I get 46 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: four because we want to do a double date. They said, 47 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: no problem at all. Now I reached out earlier in 48 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: the week to them and I said, hey, So normally 49 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: I would not ask this, but my wife is a 50 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: huge fan. If Vinnie is doing any meet and greets, 51 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: I would love to be a part of that and 52 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: surprise her. And sure enough he was and they were 53 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: able to get us into the meet and greet, and 54 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: I did not tell her or my friends. We went 55 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: to dinner at Empire, which was fantastic. It had so 56 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: much sushi, it was awesome. Well, first of all, we 57 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: checked into the hotel in the seaport, which was the Yotel, 58 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: which I do recommend. But the rooms are tiny but 59 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: very nice. Bathroom's nice, the bed was nice, but the 60 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: room was really really small. But it was right there, 61 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: was right now the restaurant, and right there Left Boston. 62 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: So we went to the y Hotel, checked in and 63 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: went to Empire eight. Afterwards, we walked over to Laft 64 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: Boston now laugh is in the Western Hotel. So when 65 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: you walk in, the line was wrapped like into the hotel, 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: all the way by the front desk. I mean, very 67 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: long line. So we get there in the back of 68 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: the line, We're like, oh man, this sucks. So then 69 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: I was like, hold on, I said, I'll be right back, okay, 70 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: And I walked up to the front and I knew 71 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: I had to ask for one person that was there 72 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: because my guy, the manager or the you know, the 73 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: guy that runs the place, wasn't there. But there was 74 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: a new woman there. So I went up there and 75 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: I say, can I speak to so and so? And 76 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: she came out. I said, oh, I'm justin. She goes, 77 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: oh yeah, She goes, where's the rest of you. I said, well, 78 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: they're right in the back of the line, and she 79 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: said no, no, bring them up here. You're all said 80 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: you're a VIP. So I had. I walked back, got 81 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: them and was like, come on, let's go, and you 82 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: should have had a look on their faces. They were 83 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: like really and we had We got to walk by 84 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: everybody else to the front. They brought us in and 85 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: gave us the bracelets, and then they handed each of 86 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: us a meet and greet ticket. Now, when I tell you, okay, 87 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: like all the shit that I do in my life, 88 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: this cool last job that I have. That was probably 89 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: one of the coolest moments because it's my wife. It's 90 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: who I love more than anything in this world. But 91 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: she's very hard to impress. She's not impressed by the 92 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: pictures that I post or being a jingle ball or 93 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: kiss concert, you know. And I'll play around with her 94 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: sometimes I'll say, oh, you know who came in to 95 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: say it today, so and so this artist or this 96 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: celebrity or this our athlete, and she's like, oh cool. 97 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: But when she got handed that Vinny Meet and Green pass, 98 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: who boy, let's go. So we got into a VIP 99 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: section and then afterwards we got to line up and 100 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: meet him really quick. Thing though, I mean, Vinnie was 101 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: super cool, but you know, it was this last show 102 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: he did four shows at Left Boston. He was kind 103 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: of just wanted to get out of there. But we 104 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: got the picture. I did post it on my Instagram. 105 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: She posted, I reposted it, and it was just a 106 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: really cool moment. And then afterwards my friends and my 107 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: wife were talking about it and they were like look 108 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: at you, mister sneaky.

I wanted 110 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 1: to share, you know, because I don't take this stuff 111 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: for granted. What I do. You know. I remember when 112 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: I first started in radio, it was all about getting 113 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: the picture and posting the picture because you know, look 114 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: at me, look at me, because you know it is 115 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: cool and it's I'm living my dream.

And I brought them in 125 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: and then I walked them out and before they left, 126 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: I said, hey, can I get a picture?
