1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Okay, hi guys, welcome into the after show podcast justin Here.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Today is Wednesday, February eleventh, and welcome all. It's gonna

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: be forty degrees today. Might bust out the shorts because

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: it feels like summer. It's been so cold lately, and

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: we got about three to four inches in Salem, New Hampshire.

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: I said this on the show. You know, I think

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: last week. I grew up here in Boston many many winters,

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: and typically I handle it very well. I don't. I'm

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: not one to complain about the weather. But there's something

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: about this winter. And it's not the snow. It's the cold.

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: It's the constant cold, every single day, just freezing. It

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: just sucks, really kills your mood. And a hot tip,

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: by the way, Vitamin D is so important in the winter.

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: If you take vitamins and supplements. You know, obviously in

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: the sun in the summertime, the sunshine gives you vitamin D.

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: You don't really need to supplement if you're out in

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the sun, you know, in some capacity. But in the

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: winter time it's super important, and so you want to

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: load up on vitamin D. I get vitamin D and

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: K two, K three I forget it's a combination. Look

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: it up, check it out. That's my hot tip of

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: the day. Anyway, the after show is always available for

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: the talkbacks to give feedback or questions or comments if

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: you missed the show On Monday, I had my friend

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: Allan on who could you know a little bit of

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: rough around the edges. I gave you the warning on that,

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: but people seem to like it. It was definitely raw, definitely unfiltered,

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: and definitely worth a listening.

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: Cent I just finished listening to you and Alan. He

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: is hilarious. You guys are so genuine and wonderful, and

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm so happy for both of you as someone who

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: lost a brother to addiction and just the way you

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: guys talk about your lists and just focus and make

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: you what you really want out of life and doing it,

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: and God bless both of you.

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: But he was great.

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you so much. I'll have to play that

38
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: for him or he might be listening he listens to

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: this podcast. But yes, an interesting thing about addiction and recovery,

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: which I talk about endlessly because it's such an important

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: part of my life. It's the number one thing in

42
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: my life without my recovery. I would not have any

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: of this stuff. I wouldn't have this job, my family,

44
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: or any of the cool stuff that I was able

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: to acquire since I got clean. But when I tell

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: normal people, when I say normal, I just need people

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: that don't, you know, suffer from addiction. When I tell

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: them any story, any story that I share in this

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: podcast or on the air, or to anybody really, they

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: look at you with this look of bewilderment, like you

51
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: really did that, like shock. But when you tell somebody

52
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: that's in recovery that has been through the ringer, they're

53
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: just like, oh, yeah, me too, or they have a

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: follow up story or a story that's even crazier. And

55
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: that's the connection that we have. And I think that

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: was displayed in the podcast with Alan, because that's how

57
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: we are in real life. When he's at my house,

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: when we're doing the sauna and the ice bath, we

59
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: chat it up and that's how we talk. And we

60
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: just really tried to convey that. I know, we dropped

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: a lot of F bombs. I did bring that up

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: during the podcast. He got more and more comfortable as

63
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: we started talking, and at one point I had to

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: remind him, like, dude, we'll not remind him. But you know, hey,

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: you're saying after you know, every other word.

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: Justin this is MO. I have to say, that was

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: an awesome guest, Alan, what just just the self reflection

68
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: of you guys and your relationship was so awesome. And

69
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: he's hysterical. What a fucking who dude, Huh, this is

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 4: a fucking whop And there I am fucking warrants up

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: the ass.

72
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.

73
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: Fucking dude, you can't even right, like fucking win Man.

74
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly how he talks. And sometimes we'll be

75
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: in the house and they'll be kids around, you know,

76
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: he has a daughter and then my children, and he'll

77
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: be talking dropping f bombs and I'm like, bro, can

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: we tone it down a little bit please? But he

79
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: is who he is. But we appreciate the feedback. Okay,

80
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: which brings me to today's guest. Two guests in one week.

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: Today is a special one. But I like to think

82
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: that every guest that I have this podcast is special.

83
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: I teased this yesterday, so if you listen to the show, Okay, lately,

84
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: there's been reference to somebody new behind the scenes, Katie,

85
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: and Katie has also been the judge for the Secret Sound,

86
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: and it's not often that we get new people here

87
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: at the radio station. There was a lot of changes

88
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: that happened towards the end of twenty twenty five. We've

89
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: talked about it endlessly, but Katie is the newest member

90
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: of the team here at Kiss went Away Billion Lisa

91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: in the Morning, and I think, really iHeart Boston in general.

92
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: So she's been here for about a month or so.

93
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm wrong on that. She can

94
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: correct me on that, but I thought it was only

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: right to give her a proper introduction on this podcast.

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: So welcome Katie, Hi, justin. How are you?

97
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: I am good? You're making me nervous. You're hyping me up.

98
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: Oh that's what I do. I make everything sound bigger

99
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: than it is. But this is a big deal, you know.

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: So how long have you been here?

101
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: I would say exactly what you said, about a month

102
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: or so, even I'm not sure.

103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, before we get into how you got here

107
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: great opportunity. I think just being here. I still feel

108
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: as though even though I'm a month and I'm still

109
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: a little bit in awe of everybody.

110
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, well it is cool. It's a cool ass job.

111
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 3: It's oh my gosh, yeah, a lot of pressure. Though

112
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: sometimes I get a little nervous.

113
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: No, you're doing great. You're doing it. You're doing a

114

Speaker 1: great job. Listen, you're showing up. You're doing your job.

115
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,800

Speaker 1: I mean the talent, you know, talent and and all

117
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: that stuff is great. But if you can just show up,

118
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: give one hundred percent care about what you're doing, that

119
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: can go a long way in life. So, first and foremost,

120
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: where are you from?

121
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,479

Speaker 1: Way, was that how you ended up here?

127
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: No, it's not how I ended up here. How I

128
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: end up here is going Okay, it's a story.

129
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So you grew up in South Carolina? And then

130
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: how old were you when you came here?

131
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: So I was what eighteen I was eighteen. I spent

00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: studied English and journalism. Transferred my sophomore year to Emerson College,

134
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: which is downtown Boston. So that's when I like, oh yeah,

Speaker 3: got my journalism degree, graduated a year early. This past

137
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: May decided, all right, am I going to move back

138
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: home to South Carolina? Was like, Okay, I'm not. I'm

Speaker 3: get a job, see if I can like really just

142
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: jump and find my footing. And I had. We'll go

143
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 3: in to the story of how I got here.

144
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: Hold that thought. How old are you right now?

145
00:06:59,120 --> 00:06:59,800

146
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, twenty two? Yeah? Wow? Okay, So you

147
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: graduated a year early from Emerson. From Emerson, yeah, now,

148
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: why'd you graduate early? Because you are a good pupil.

149
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: I think I was a good pupil. I had some

150
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: ext like some college credit from a dual enrollment program

151
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 3: I did when I was in high school. All right,

152
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: and it turns out that you and Ah didn't take

153
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: all those credits, but Emerson did, and then I kind

154
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: of I was weighing my options. I was like, Okay,

155
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: do I do a full another year of school, pay

156
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: college tuition for another takeout another loan? Like what do

157
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: I do? And I decided that just being done and

158
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: I'm a hands on learner, I'm somebody who likes to

159
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: be in it one hundred percent. I like to just

160
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: do by learning, do by observing that. I was like,

161
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: I don't think that another year in a classroom would

162
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: be best for me, even though what Emerson does is

163
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: a lot of putting you out in the field, really

164
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: putting you in it, especially journalism program. I just decided that, like, Okay,

165
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm ready. I want to see what I can do.

166
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: I think that I'm ready to just go for it.

167
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything I learned in radio I learned on site.

168
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: I didn't learn one thing in college that I applied here,

169
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: which doesn't mean that I didn't learn stuff in college.

170
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: It was good, But as far as like what I

171
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: do technically, you know, I learned everything here.

172
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, as an intern it was really interesting. I

173
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: had college radio experience, so when I had the lucky

174
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: chance to end up here at iHeart. I was like, okay,

175
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: you know I have I can't click a button or

176
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: two like I could do this. I got here, blew

177
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 3: every place all the all the two college radios I

178
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: worked at out of the Water.

179
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: Well, were you at Emerson Radio.

180
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: Emerson eighty eight nine. I was at WECB. It's their

181
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: student run radio station. I used to be FM but

182
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: is now it's a live stream online. So like we

183
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: still have a little studio, we have the board, but

184
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: I was doing mostly logistics stuff with them.

185
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: Do they still have eighty eight nine? Do you know

186
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: what that is? Yeah?

187
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: WRS?

188
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: Is that still a thing still? What do they play

189
00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: on there?

190
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 3: They played they call it I feel like it's the

191
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: like the alternative sound of Boston or something.

192
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So growing up, I grew up in Malden, which

193
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: is right here next to where we are. They had

194
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: hip hop on that station, like underground hip hop at nighttime,

195
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: the eighty eight nine at night and so when I

196
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: was a kid, I listened to it because they would

197
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: play like songs, rap songs that they didn't play on

198
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: jamming or kiss runawait you know, So I would listen there.

199
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: So that's good. So they're still going, they're still going. Yeah, okay,

200
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: So but you're a broadcast journalism major, just regular journalist,

201
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: just journalism. So you know, I was a journalism major.

202
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: My degree is in journalism. Yes, I wanted to be

203
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: a hip hop writer. Okay, that was my goal because

204
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: I had a checkered past, so I never thought that

205
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: radio would hire me. So that's what happened. But I

206
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: did write for my student newspaper. Nice yep. And let

207
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: me tell you, one of the proudest days of my

208
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: life was when I got printed in the student newspaper

209
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: at Northern Essex and I was able to to go

210
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: and give my mom a copy.

211
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: Oh that's a great feeling.

212
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I wanted to. So my goal was to

213
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: get to cover concerts and cover tours, and I thought

214
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: it would be cool to go and like meet with

215
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: rappers or any any music really and you get to

216
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: meet them in the interview with them. That would be cool,

217
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: you know. So what was your goal?

218
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: Okay, again, because you're a good writer, obviously, I'm I'm

219
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: a bit of a fickle person. I went in wanting

220
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: to do sports journal as I played hockey for many

221
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: years when I was a kid, and so I went

222
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: up North and was like, Okay, I'm gonna be a

223
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: sports writer. I'm gonna work for the Bruins, gonna write

224
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: for the Red Sox. I got this, got there, found

225
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: the radio station, was like, okay, maybe I want to

226
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: do concert writing. Maybe I've found a bit more of

227
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: my people. And then I went in to Emerson. I

228
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: ended up reporting on architectural accessibility for my senior project.

229
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: Like totally switching. So I've just had a little bit

230
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: of everything, and I mean, I still I have to

231
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: remind myself that I graduated and was like what do

232
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: I want to do? What do I want to study?

233
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 3: What do I want to be? Who do I want

234
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: to be? And it's now just okay, well maybe I

235
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: just have to take the first step of what am

236
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: I going to do now? And ended up being in

237
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: radio so here I am.

238
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good segue into how you got here

239
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: because when you are found quote unquote, you were not

240
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: working in journalism. You're working at a bakery in Cambridge.

241
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: Not in Cambridge South the South End.

242
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Oh it's in the South End. You live in Cambridge.

243
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: You live in Cambridge.

244
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: Yes, So this is again I'm gonna segue I used

245
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: to live in the South End, and that's how I

246
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: got the job at the bakery.

247
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the bakery.

248
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: So the bakery is Callet Bakery. It's a French I've

249
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 3: heard of it. Great little French place, super awesome, super yummy.

250
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: And I lived for my senior year, like tutors, down

251
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: in an apartment. So I got my senior year. It

252
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: was like I think August August twenty twenty four, moved in,

253
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: said that is a cute little bakery and how fun

254
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 3: would it be if I lived on the street, worked

255
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: on the street, and then was also a student, you know,

256
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: get some cash to cash to spend by my groceries,

257
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: you know. So I worked mornings. I go in in

258
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: the morning, make lattes, go to class in the afternoon,

259
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: do my radio stuff, all that good stuff. And then

260
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: as I graduated, I was looking for places to say,

261
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: South End was not in the question. Central Square, Cambridge, great,

262
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: lovely love Cambridge. So I moved and I ended up

263
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 3: having the opportunity to stay working at the bakery and

264
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: just up my hours. So I'm working every day at

265
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: the bakery. Now I'm doing LinkedIn the I'm reaching out

266
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: to people via email. I'm trying to cold call people.

267
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: I'm applying to internships, job after job after job. I

268
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: mean I didn't even get one interview, not one. I'm

269
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: doing indeed, work day, all of it.

270
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: And I just now, where were you sending them to?

271
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Like what kind of jobs?

272
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: I was saying, journalism, publishing. I ended up looking at

273
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: some stuff with local government. Like I was throwing the

274
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: net wide and saying that, Okay, journalism gave me a

275
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: really good basis of a lot of different skills. Where

276
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: can I go with this?

277
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, because what was your what was your degree in

278
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: in journalism? Yes see, I had a minor in journalism.

279
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: My major was communications, which.

280
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 3: Is even more broad. So that's fantastic.

281
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So then you're working at the bakery, working

282
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: at the bakery, not in your field, in my field. Okay,

283
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: no pause, right there, pause right there. Okay. So on

284
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: our end at the end of twenty twenty five, there

285
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: were some major changes here at iHeart Boston on Jammin

286
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Kiss one eight I think the Rumba. There was just

287
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: major changes. Big companies they do layoufs and unfortunately we

288
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: were hit. So one of the members of our show, Winnie,

289
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: was let go Yeah, it was a big shock, big

290
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: thing was well talked and covered right. Sucks. But so

291
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: she got laid off. That position got eliminated. Okay, So

292
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: producer Riley was our phone screeners. She was doing what

293
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: you're doing now, And so when that position was done,

294
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: they needed somebody to obviously go in and run the

295
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: board and do the technical part of the show, not

296
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: the talking part, the technical part. So Riley already how

297
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: to do it, you know what I mean, Like we

298
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: had already trained her to fill in. Yeah, and you know,

299
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: there's all these conspiracy theories out there which I will

300
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: debunk right now, that we were training her to take

301
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: over the role of her of winning. But that's not true.

302
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: We were training her so she could fill in for

303
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: her and for me, So I taught her what I

304
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: did as well. So anyway, so Riley moved out of

305
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: that position into the studio. So now we had nobody

306
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: to answer the phones, okay, which was a big deal,

307
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: you know. So basically I'm answering the phones while live.

308
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: It was crazy. So I'm doing talkbacks because Riley also

309
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: helped me with like getting talkbacks and putting them in

310
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So I was on the show

311
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: answering phones and doing talkbacks and everything else that I'm doing,

312
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: which was insane. I got it, but it was very,

313
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: very stressful. So we needed a phone screener. Okay. So

314
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: I went to McCabe. He knew about it, and he said,

315
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm working on it. I'm working on it. I'm working

316
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: on him talking to this person and that person. He's

317
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: trying to find somebody that can be like entry level

318
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: and can answer our phones but also do other things

319
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: at the radio station. They wanted like a utility person, right,

320
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: And just so happens that McCabe found one when he

321
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: wasn't even where. He wasn't even looking, because he goes

322
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: to the bakery that you work at.

323
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: He was one of my regulars for months and.

324
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: You had no idea that he worked on the radio,

325
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: not a clue. So McKay would come in, get a

326
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: latte and a muffin.

327
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: Oh he gets an iced coffee with oat milk.

328
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: Okay, mm hmmm, m And.

329
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: We don't even sew muffins. He's getting two choquettes. It's

330
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: like a little French puff pastry with sugar on it.

331
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, all right, So he would come in, you'd

332
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: chat it up, you'd serve him. What'd you know him as?

333
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: Okay? In my defense, I he had told me his name.

334
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: I'm a barista. I have a lot of regulars that

335
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: worked at this bakery for a long time.

336
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: Do you say mccab or mic.

337
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: Though I don't remember, okay, because I called him Joe

338
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: I and I look, I didn't know and he it

339
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: was like months, we're talking six months. He's coming in,

340
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: he's he's come in with friends before he's coming back.

341
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: He walked in the bakery, ire all my regulars and go,

342
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 3: hey Joe.

343
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: Oh, so you would call him Joe? Yeah, And he

344
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: didn't correct you.

345
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: No. Months.

346
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: See, that's his fault.

347
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: It wasn't until he walks in one day and I'd

348
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: reached the point in my desperate search for something that

349
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: wasn't the bakery because it's you know, I just I

350
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: was getting nantcy. I wanted I wanted something. I wanted

351
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: to feel like I was doing something, learning something new,

352
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: like anything. He comes in, and I had at that

353
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: point been relying on a lot of my regulars who

354
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: were a little bit older than me, had different careers,

355
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: and just asking them, what do you do? Any chance

356
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: I got I'd be talking to the people that I

357
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: see often who like know me, who I knew them?

358

389
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: to the studio. I remember sitting outside of this iHeartRadio

390
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: studio on the phone with one of my best friends

391
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: who's back in New Hampshire, crying, being like I just

392
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: I gotta figure something out. It's been months since I graduated.

393
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 3: I'd feel so lost, like I don't know what I

394
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 3: want to do. I don't know, like I had met

395
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 3: with so many people. I'd met with someone at the

396
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: like who was a legislative aid. I'd met with somebody

397
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: who went to Harvard Law, Like I was talking to

398
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 3: people who were in the publishing field and who like

399
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 3: had you know, just all these different things and I

400
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: just couldn't figure it out. And I go in and

401
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: I meet mckaybn like ten minutes in. I was like, oh,

402
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: like wait, I don't think this is just gonna be information,

403
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: Like I think he might want to I think he

404
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: might have something too.

405
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: Well, you didn't know what was going on here, obviously

406
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: no clue. We were actually looking for somebody, not a clue.

407
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: And it's like the timing of that is unbelievable. Because

408
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: we do not hire people here. It's very hard to

409
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: get in.

410
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 3: I googled it. I googled like what is the chance

411
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: of getting Ieheart? And they were like nat. So I

412
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 3: was kind of like, okay. I went and hyping myself

413
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: up for like good information, good connection, like advice that

414
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: if something were to open up, i'd already have a

415
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: name that like oh hey, like I've met you before.

416
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: And I walked out. I remember getting on the Orange

417
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: line here and like again before and after very professionally

418
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: crying on the phone with my mom and being like

419
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I got a step, Like I got it,

420
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 3: I got something like I'm gonna start, I'm gonna be

421
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 3: able to do something.

422
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. I cried to my mom

423
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: all the time.

424
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah on the rag you know it.

425
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you come in, you check it out, and

426
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: then when does he tell you that they want to

427
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: offer you the job? That day? Oh? That day? That

428
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: day okay, So that must have been when he texted me. Okay,

429
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: because he texted me out of nowhere. And now what

430
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: do you remember when this was? Was it was before Christmas?

431
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: Yes, it was like I think two weeks before jingle.

432
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: Ball okay, because during in December, I want to say,

433
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: we were on vacation maybe, so maybe he told you

434
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: and then he had to get like the approval, the

435
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: whole thing. Yeah, but he texted me and he goes,

436
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: I found somebody, and I'm like for what, And he's like,

437
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: to answer your phones and do other stuff as well.

438
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: I found a good one and I'm like really wow, okay.

439
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: And then after Christmas you started and here you are.

440
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: So you've been here mostly helping us, Yes, and you

441
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: did shadow some other areas of the radio station, other

442
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: shows down the hall jam and because I believe what

443
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: they want you to do is reside in our studio

444
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: answer our phones. But I can say that our show

445
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: is more talk back heavy as opposed to calls. So

446
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: it's very important for contesting and also for our topic time,

447
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: which is a call in segment. But other than that,

448
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: like if you need to jump somewhere else, you can exactly,

449
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: And so they want you to be kind of a

450
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: util person.

451
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: We learn everything, which is my bread and butter.

452
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: That's what I do. That's that's how I made it

453
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: in my career, was being a utility person.

454
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: There you go.

455
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: You know what else is good about that? That when

456
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: the time comes when the company looks down and they're like, well,

457
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: we got to make some changes. Where can we cut?

458
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: Usually they don't cut the people that do multiple things

459
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: my heart, No, No, it's usually the people that only

460
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: do one thing. So the more that you can learn

461
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: and you can do, and that means not just answering

462
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: the phones. That means run the equipment, that means edit audio,

463
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: that means be on the air. If that's what you

464
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: want to do, you know what I mean. If you

465
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: can do all those things, then you're valuable, you know.

466
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: And it doesn't say that the company doesn't care about you,

467
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: but it's a corporate company.

468
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

469
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: We have eight hundred and fifty radio stations Oh, yeah,

470
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: it's a lot. So basically for the past month you've

471
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: done it's been kind of minimal learning the phone screener

472
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I'm going to start to

473
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: show you some other stuffs for audio and stuff like that.

474
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: Do you want to be on the air.

475
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

476
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: Were you on the air in Emerson?

477
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: I was, but it was my It was, you know,

478
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 3: live shream. I had maybe like five people listening. It

479
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: was never really I Also, I had somebody once tell

480
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 3: me that I didn't have a voice for radio, please

481
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: don't listen to kind of stuck with me. So I

482
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: don't know.

483
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: I'm mean, I don't I'm you. You sound fine to me.

484
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 3: Hey, that's good.

485
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: How about Riley? Riley had no interest in being on

486
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: the radio, and then she started. I forget how it started,

487
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: but oh, Lisa had to be out and she had

488
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: to cover Lisa's traffic and weather. Yeah, and she met

489
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: with the boss after and the boss goes, you know

490
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: when you said to me that you didn't think you

491
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: wanted to be on air, that you weren't good. He goes,

492
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: I think you were wrong about that. So you got

493
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: to have confidence in yourself. If it's something that you

494
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: don't have interest in. That's one thing. But if it's

495
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: your brain telling you I'm just not good enough, then

496
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: that's bullshit.

497
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 3: I think it's just because I don't know.

498
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Well, you can learn, you know, you can learn. I

499
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: was never going to be on the air. I was

500
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: just like you. I didn't think I had a voice

501
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: for radio. I grew up in Boston. I had a

502
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: severe Boston accent, which would be good on the radio.

503
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: But at the time when I got in they kind

504
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: of made fun of me because I was like, yo,

505
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: with the car, you know, that's how I talked. Yeah,

506
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: it's like you know, but now it would be good,

507
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: but I work so hard to like get rid of

508
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: it when I talk on the air. The Boston accent.

509
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because when I first started, there was a

510
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: guy on the radio who I really looked up to,

511
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: and he heard me talk. I did like a fake

512
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: read for him and he listened to it and he

513
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: was like this is awful, and I'm like, what do

514
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: you mean? And he goes, the Boston accent's just way

515
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: too heavy. You know, they're not going to sell you

516
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: on these commercials, and I'm like, okay. So I practiced

517
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: getting rid of it. So that's why I say my

518
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: rs now, But if you hear me talk with my friends,

519
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't I go back into like Justin.

520
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: There you go.

521
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: It's kind of.

522
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: Weird, that's crazy. I have a couple of friends. I

523
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: don't have a Southern twang at all, like we talked about,

524
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 3: I have a couple friends out a little bit, yeah,

525
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 3: start here, just a little bit.

526
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

527
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: Would you ever want to just go full Boston accent

528
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: on the air?

529
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: It just feels it does come out sometimes when I

530
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: get very worked up on the air getting push Yeah,

531
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: people will leave talkbacks like oh I love when Justin's

532
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: Boston accent came. It comes out. That's funny. Okay. So

533
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: what do you think about the show so far?

Speaker 1: I was gonna follow it up with you are not

572
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: You're actually very intelligent?

Speaker 3: Oh? Thank you?

574
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? You really are? You really do help help out

575
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and I want you to help out more,

576
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: which you will be too. Yeah, I'm keeping you a

577
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit out of time, you know. Yeah,

578
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: just a little bit at of time, and then we'll

579
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, do more and more because Riley was my person. Yeah,

580
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: got pulled in there. So she's busy. She has to

581
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: run the equipment, she has to that's a whole job

582
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: in itself.

583
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: Those are also big shoes to fill. Good at what

584
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 3: she does.

585
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is very good. She is very good. Yeah,

586
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: but she she came to me and she wanted to learn.

587
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: That's another misconception that I'd like to clear up publicly,

588
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: is that Riley came to me and asked me to

589
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: train her. I didn't go to Riley and say, hey, like,

590
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: I'm busy, right, Like, I'll put the effort in, but

591
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to chase you down and say, hey,

592
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: I want to spend my time teaching you stuff. But

593
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: if you come to me and you're you give like

594
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: an honest you know you want it, you want to

595
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: learn this, I will show you. So that's what happened

596
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: with Riley. So there were these like theories out there

597
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: that you know, I trained Riley to end up taking

598
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: that job, and it's just all bullshit. That's just not

599
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: how it goes. You know, we train people. So I'll

600
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: give an example right now, Katie Riley's training you.

601
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 3: Yep.

602
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: So because Riley is going to have to be off,

603
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: she's going to take vacation time, so we need somebody

604
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: to fill in for her.

605
00:26:58,880 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 3: You know, I'm there.

606
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: So you grew up in South Carolina. Yeah, have you

607
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: ever been to North Carolina?

608
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: I have had a lot of relatives in North Carolina.

609
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 3: Also played hockey in North Carolina.

610
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. The hockey thing's weird because we were talking about

611
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: women's hockey today.

612
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 3: I know. Well, I was watching that game yesterday. I

613
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: have a I had the opportunity we played in a

614
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: tournament and I met some of the twenty fourteen women's

Speaker 3: little less dirty.

712
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: Well, is that because it's very touristy and Myrtle Beach.

713
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: Suuper touristy, which can be great for a beach if

761
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: you think you're never gonna grow up. You know, when

762
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm and when you're younger, you hear things like when

763
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: you grow up, when you get older, you'll learn this,

764
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: and you're learning that, you're like yeah, right, and then

765
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: it all comes true.

766
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 3: I feel like I went to bed and I was sixteen,

767
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 3: and I literally woke up like maybe like this summer.

768
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: This summer when I'm paying rent and doing all this,

769
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 3: went to bed, woke up. I'm twenty two.

770
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna go much quicker after that. Oh yeah,

771
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: it goes very it goes. It goes very quickly, and

772
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: a youthful spirit forever. Right. But then you get to

773
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: a point where you're working with a younger person like

774

865
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 3: we were going to meet up, and like I had

866
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: the dating app for a week. I hated it. I

867
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 3: was like, I'm super anti online dating. At this point,

868
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 3: I deleted all my social media. I'd graduated, like I

869
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 3: was super I'm definitely someone who I like to be

870
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: disconnected from that. I didn't like the way it made

871
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: me feel whatever. I didn't like the idea of marketing

872
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 3: my what I thought was datable about myself on an app.

873
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: Did it for a week, met him through that, he

874
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: messaged me, we planned a date. He ghosted me. On

875

879
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,560

880
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 3: I'm not dating because I was like, I want to

881
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,479
Speaker 3: figure out my career like I want to, I don't.

882

00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: Halloween weekend for me always holds like pivotal moments. I

893
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: feel like in college there's always always something big that happens.

894
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: Halloween weekends parties.

895
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 3: That's when I've met some of my best friends. That's

896
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: when I've had some of my like fallouts. Always Halloween.

897
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: So this year, my first year not in college in

898
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: several years, I was like, okay, like, we'll see if

899
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 3: it if my theory holds true that Halloween is pivotal,

900
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: and I ended up. I was at this party with

901
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 3: I was at a house party with my friends, redownloaded

902
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 3: Instagram to post this picture of myself that's just like

928
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 3: little far away. So I didn't get my hopes up

929
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 3: or anything. And also, you know, I met him on Hinge.

930
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: I ended up just talking to him for an entire month,

931
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: getting know him more and more and just being more

932
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 3: and more fascinated and more and more just like, Wow,

933
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: this person, he's just he's a good person. He's a

934
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: good person, he's interesting, he's kind like. I enjoy the

935
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: way that he talks about things, in the way that

936
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 3: he sees the world, and all of this. I met

937
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 3: him for the first time, which was a crazy night

938
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 3: story for a different day. But I met him for

939
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 3: the first time, and I just like, I just knew.

940
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 3: I was like, man, like, I want him. I want

941
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 3: him to be memorable to my boyfriend.

942
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: So you were attracted to him physically, but then also

943
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: attracted to him and how he carried himself, his intelligence,

944
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: flip it all that.

945
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 3: Because it was via text, I didn't really have a

946
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 3: clear idea of what he looked like.

947
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: So that month, actually you were attracted to that first.

948
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 3: I was attracted just to the because I was like,

949
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 3: I'm not going to flirt with him. I've never I'm

950
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 3: a big like, which is why I also didn't like

951
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 3: that I have to meet you in person. I'm such

952
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 3: an in person person. That's why I'm like. Things worked

953
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 3: out with mccaben here is because I'm an in person.

954
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: I'm a people person, like I like being in there.

955
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: I don't the same way. Yeah, I'm the same way, right.

956
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it was definitely and it I just really

957
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 3: really really liked talking to him, and then when I

958
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 3: finally met him in person, I was like solidified. I

959
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: was like, man, like this like it feels like a dream,

960
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Be together a little over

961
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: a month.

962
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: Oh, so it's new. It's very very so this is

963
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: last Halloween.

964
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: Yes, that's Halloween. So this is all very very new.

965
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: How's a long distance thing going? It's good. I mean, look,

966
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: absence makes the heart grow fonder, that's what they say.

967
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: I feel like, if the biggest issue we're having right

968
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 3: now is the fact that we just don't get to

969
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 3: physically see each other, that's a pretty decent.

970
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: Issued a graduate.

971
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: He graduates the end of the semester.

972
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: And what's his plan? Find him work in Boston?

973
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. We've left it pretty we've left it

974
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:57,600

00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: live in Sale, New Hampshire. North End was like right

984
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: near the border. Ooh yeah, okay. Yeah. My friend Allan,

985
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: who's on the podcast Monday born and raised, lives in

986
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: North Andover no way. Yeah, true story. Yep. Yeah.

987
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 3: Well there you go in the morning.

988
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Katie, Well I think we covered it all. Yeah,

989
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: did we miss anything?

990
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 3: A lot of bases. Just what's your favorite hobby? Oh?

991
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: Mine? I love working out. Well, yeah, very much into fitness.

992
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: I if you asked me, you know, fifteen years ago,

993
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: I would not say that, Okay, but I had like

994
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: a lot of health things I got. I was really

995
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: big and fat, you know whatever, and then I ended

996
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: up losing weight going to the gym, and now I'm

997
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: obsessed with it. Yeah. I love working out. I love fitness.

998
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: I love doing things like ice baths and sauna and

999
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: anything really fit and it's related I'm into. So yeah,

1000
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: I would say that's my number one hobby. Good for endorphins,

1001
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 1: really good for endorphins, yeah, right, which actually is funny

1002
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: you say that. That definitely plays a part in it,

1003
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: because obviously I've struggled struggle with addiction in life, and

1004
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, an addiction, you chase the high, right, so

1005
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: then when you stop doing that, you still want to

1006
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: chase a high. And that's the endorphins in working out,

1007
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: and I find it in ice pass because that gives

1008
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: me endorphins, and the sauna gives me endorphins. So I

1009
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: more so chasing positive things.

1010
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 3: Yes, good thing to chase.

1011
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: Yes, any other questions.

1012
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't prepare a list.

1013
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: That's okay, it's okay. I'm just happy that you're happy.

00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,239

1028
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 1: what I trained her to do, was from her studio.

1029
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: She would roll them in and listen to them and

1030
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: give them to me in real time. She's like, you

1031
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Ok So without her, it's been

1032
