1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, quick. Hello here, justin just checking in real quick.

00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: It's jingle Ball weekend, so you can imagine very busy.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: But I never want to leave you hanging. I know that.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, some of you guys look forward to this

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: podcast as your routine. I always say that because I

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: believe that it's true, and I do appreciate that. But yeah,

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: jingle Ball is coming up Sunday night, so we're kind

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: of wrapping everything up, getting everything ready. It's gonna be

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: a busy weekend. We have a staff brunch tomorrow at

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Strega in the North End. That's gonna be good. I've

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: never gone before because you know, my children were always

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, they're little. So I'm gone most of the

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: day Sunday and then to be gone Saturday and Sunday.

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: It's a lot on my wife. I mean, she never

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: told me I couldn't go, but it's more of just

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: in the back of my head, you know, leaving her

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: alone with the kids, and obviously her mother's downstairs. But

18
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seemed like a lot. But

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: I'm going tomorrow, so that should be fun. I've never

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: gone before. Never, I've never been to Strega so I'm

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. I'll eat some food I've been

22
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: eating lately, not like crazy binging, but she's just being

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more lax on my diet, but trying

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: to control the portions. If you know me, you know

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: that food is some kind can be an enemy for me.

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, I am. The last couple

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: of months, I put on a couple of pounds, but

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm still working out, still doing all that stuff,

29
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: and try not to be too crazy. I think in

30
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: the spring or March, I'm going to a room in March,

31
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: so I think after that I'll dial it back in.

32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: You know, I think the big thing is to not

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: let myself go, you know, eat whatever I want when

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: I want. I'm still prepping meals. But it's a tough

35
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: life man to to you know, when these events happen

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: where I can't go to them or I don't want

37
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: to go to them because I don't want to eat

38
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: the food, because you know, I'm so concerned with you know,

39
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: my body and my look, and it's a whole thing,

40
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: you know. You know, the fat kN inside of me

41
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: is always going to be in there. He's always going

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: to be in there wanting to come out and tell

43
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: him to talking to me and telling me you don't

44
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: look good. And you know, that's the little voice inside

45
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: of me. You know, it's the same voice that talks

46
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: to me about my addiction, same voice that tells me

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: that I'm not good enough. And it's a whole thing

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: being me. It's it's an interesting journey, but I am

49
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. I'll eat some food and then

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: I gotta go shop for an outfit. I always wait

51
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: until the day before, well, the day up sometimes to

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: get the outfit. I'll hit the mall. I'll see what's

53
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: going on there, maybe some Macy's or or whatever, and

54
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: get it going to get an outfit. So looking forward

55
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: to that, and then you know, one more week and

56
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: we're done. Man, we're done to the rest of the year.

57
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: But we have some good stuff planned. We have some

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: specials running obviously the year and countdown all the music stuff.

59
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: But as far as the show, the show goes. There'll

60
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: be a Top twenty five moment, and don't forget we

61
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: do the Talkbacker of the Year and all the other

62
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: stuff next Friday, and that's a whole thing too. But

63
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not stressing about it. I think we

64
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: know who's going to be the talkbacker of the year,

65
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: who's going to get the number one spot, but everybody

66
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: else will be shouted out right. We'll give recognition to

67
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: all the top talkbackers, bunch of them that joined our

68
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: show every day and participate, which is really cool. The

69
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: talkbacks are. They're a giant part of the show. It's

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: so wild to me because, you know, when Maddi retired

71
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: and then this show came on, the talkbacks had just launched,

72
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: like towards the very very end of the Maddie Show,

73
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: they had launched, and I remember they came to me

74
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: and told me about them, and I go, that's that's dope,

75
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: Like I would use those, but Matt won't. And so

76
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember they brought it up to Matt.

77
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: I was in the room. They're like, we have this

78
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: feature where you can like play talkbacks, play messages from

79
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: your listeners, and Maddie goes, I'm not playing those, you know,

80
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: because he just didn't get it. You know, that don't

81
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: fucking need it. Why do I need that? Why do

82
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I've been you know, at the top for so long.

83
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't need to. I don't need it, which I understand.

84
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: But when he left and then it was the Billy

85
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: and Lisa Show, I'm like, yo, we can use these,

86
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, like I can use these in the show.

87
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: It was like it's like they were made for me

88
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: to use. So you know, that's how I became the godfather.

89
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: And I love it being the talk back leader. I

90
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: guess if you will, so, yeah, we'll recognize all the

91
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: top people and that'll be all be so much fun

92
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: next week. But I hope everyone has a great weekend.

93
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: If you're coming to jingle Ball, you know, we'll be

94
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: in and around the garden as best as we can.

95
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: It's very busy backstage. We're doing a live broadcast. But

96
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: if I see you, make sure you say hi and

97
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: we'll get a picture. And it's a big deal. It's

98
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: a big deal for kiss one of wait, it's a

99
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: big deal for the Billy and Lisa Show. And I

100
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: think we are going on stage. I think we're going

101
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: on stage once or twice, which is not always the

102
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: most ideal, but I'll be out there. And when you're

103
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: on stage, right it's a little behind the scenes. You

104
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: can't see anybody. All you see is lights. So when

105
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: you get out there. I'm looking around and I literally

106
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: don't see anybody. I just see like heads because the

107
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: lights are so bright. It's a wild thing. And I

108
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: think one year I forget what I said. But yeah,

109
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have a script this year. I

110
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: think they're giving everybody a script on things to say,

111
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: because I think we're doing a capital one kind of

112
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: thing with a winner. I think I don't have to

113
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: look it over. There's so much going on. It's jingle

114
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: Ball weekend. Anyway, have a great one, hopefully going. If not,

115
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: we'll talk on Monday. Bye bye,
