1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: All right, I lost to talk about on the after

2
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: show today. It is Monday, February second. Hope you had

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: a great weekend. It's so cold. God, it hasn't been

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: about above freezing ever. And I'm not one to complain

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: about the weather. I've grown up here. In my entire life,

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: I've been through many many winters, and you know, it sucks,

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: but I kind of just deal with it. But this

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: stretch of cold is just absolutely brutal. Oh, it's so

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: cold and the snow's not melting. I just can't wait

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: for spring and summer. I can't wait for vacation going

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: to Aruba in March. That's gonna be good. We booked

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: that way back in September. I'm sure I talked about that,

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: but you know that was part of our kids' Christmas

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: gifts because we want to give them experiences and memories

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: more so than you know, material things. Because there's that saying,

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: right when you get older, you don't remember every toy

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: that you got, but you probably remember every vacation you

18
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: went on, trip you went on, and the time that

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: you spent with your family. So I can't wait for that.

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: That's gonna be March sixteenth, warm weather can't wait. And

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: it's cool to going with good friends of ours, Brooke

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: and All and their daughter Sage. They're really good friends

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: of ours that we spend a lot of time with.

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: So that should be good, that should be fun. And yeah,

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really do much on the weekends.

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: My son had flag football. He had a playoff game.

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: They lost in the first game because their team's really

28
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: not that good. They didn't really practice much because there

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: are no practices in winter flag football, so they would

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: show up once a week, you know, and my son

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of the kids on the team really

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. They're kind of learning while playing.

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: And I found that some of these other teams had

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: way better players. And so, you know, my thought is

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: those kids probably play year round. They probably play in

36
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: the summer in the spring. And you know, this is

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: how it works in youth sports. You know, they put

38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: certain kids on certain teams, even though they say they don't,

39
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure they do. And it's fine, it's fine. It's

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: a good lesson for my son that you don't win

41
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: every game, you don't win every championship, that losing is

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: a part of life. And he was a little bit upset,

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: not too much, but he came off and he was

44
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of sad, and I told him, buddy, you're a

45
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: winner in my book. You know, you look at it

46
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: like it's another experience. It's a chance to get better

47
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: at flag football. You learn, and you know you get

48
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: him next time. You know, it's not a huge deal.

49
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: So that was on Saturday morning. I did run into

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Mo Now if you listen to the after show Mo

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: Leaves Talkbacks. She lives in Salem. She's always got my back.

52
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: She's the one that I wanted to be my sponsor.

53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: She was there. I was watching the game and there

54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: she came walking by me. We had a good conversation.

55
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: Shout out to her. She's so super nice. Her daughter

56
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: was playing in flag football. She's a little bit older,

57
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: so they had won their first game. So the way

58
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: it works is you start playing the playoffs their half

59
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: hour games or twenty minutes, and if you win, you

60
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: keep going. It's like a you know, knockout system. So

61
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: her her daughter's team won, so she was kind of

62
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: waiting around for the next game. So shout out to Mo.

63
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: She's a nurse at Brigham's in Boston. Super super cool

64
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: and it was a nice conversation. Nice talking to you, Mo,

65
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: And that was pretty much it for the weekend. Didn't

66
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: do much yesterday. The football game obviously wasn't on. Super Bowl.

67
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: Is this weekend looking forward to that. That's gonna be

68
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: a good time. We got the food locked down. We're

69
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna get a five foot Italian sub from a place

70
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: called Barelli's. Now I'm not familiar, and when I say that,

71
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: people are like, you don't know Brelli's. I think it's

72
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: in Methuin. Listen, I've lived up here for a while,

73
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: but you know, I haven't been to every every place.

74
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's fantastic, but to me, you know, I

75
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: grew up in Malden and for me it was Bob's

76
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: food Store in Medford was the cold cut Italian place,

77
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: and then of course Newdale in Revere. So Barelli's is

78
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: like that before the Merrimack Valley. So you know, when

79
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: they said Barelli's, my wife and all my you know,

80
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: people that were in my house yesterday, they're like, oh my,

81
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: you haven't had Brelli's. Oh my god. I'm like, well,

82
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: let's get it. So we put the order in five

83
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: foot Italian sub this is gonna be for a lot

84
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: of people. We're gonna have a bunch of people at

85
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: my house with some sausages and some wangs, and we're

86
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: gonna watch the game. It's gonna be awesome. You know

87
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls that when the girls watch in my

88
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: house watch the game too. You know. My wife doesn't

89
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: really watch football, but she'll watch and she'll watch the

90
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: halftime show. So that should be fun. And then football's

91
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: done man for till August, late August, so I don't know.

92
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: Time go, time goes quick. Time just moves so quick. Also,

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: this morning, we talked about the Grammys last night. I

94
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: did stay up for half half of it. I watched

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: the beginning of it with my dad, And you know,

96
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: watching it with your father's always a trip, you know,

97
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: because he doesn't know who any anyone is. So he's like, oh, what's.

98
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: Up with that?

99
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: What's up with that girl? Oh? Those those boobs real?

100
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, Dad, most things aren't real on these people.

101
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: And I told her, I said it on the show

102
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: that Justin Bieber was probably the standout for me. I

103
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: mean it was weird. He was in his shorts and

104
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: his socks, but you know, no auto tune, no backup band,

105
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: just like raw vocals, and that was cool. There was

106
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: a lot that I missed though. I didn't see the

107
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: post Malone. I watched some clips, but I had to

108
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: go to bed Mondays all like tough for me to

109
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: go to sleep because you know, everything going on on

110
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: the weekend, and I'm thinking about Monday, I'm thinking about

111
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: the show. I'm thinking about you know everything I have

112
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: to get, all the audio I have to pull, so

113
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to sleep. So I don't sleep

114
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: well on Sunday nights, especially on a Grammy night and

115
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: the Patriots rallies. There was a lot to cover there,

116
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, but I don't know. I'm gonna continue on

117
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: with my day, you know what else? What else do

118
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: I have to cover? I should have wrote this down,

119
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: but I had no podcast on Friday because Billy was out,

120
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: so I had to do the show Lisa and I

121
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: and Riley, and then I had to do the countdown

122
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: by myself. Now that was a trip. God. I hope

123
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: it's out of okay. I got some feedback that people

124
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: heard it and liked it. I'm no Bill Costa, that's

125
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: for sure. But I did my best you know, I

126
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: do all the research and development for the countdown, and

127
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: if you don't know, you know, I prep the countdown

128
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: all week and so it kind of lines up with

129
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: the show. So when I'm pulling audio for the show,

130
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm also pulling it for the countdown. So a lot

131
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: that I used at one use on the other and

132
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: then I'm pulling new audio and I'm doing different research,

133
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: and I kind of write it all down and prep

134
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: it for Billy so that when Billy sits down, he

135
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: has the actual countdown of the songs and the artists,

136
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: and then he has a packet of paper with all

137
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: the research on it, and I have it all labeled

138
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: by artists in order so he can transition easily from

139
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: each song to each piece of content, if that makes sense.

140
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: So with him being out, you know, he's not here

141
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: to record it with me, so I just went through

142
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: a recorder that using the research that I did. So

143
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: it really wasn't that bad. It's just a lot of work.

144
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's a three hours long Obviously I'll talk

145
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: for three hours, but they're thirty songs that I talk

146
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: into a majority of them, so it was a lot.

147
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: It was exhausting and that, you know, on Fridays, I

148
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: do the countdown and then I do the show, and

149
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: then Ernie Bach calls into my studio to record a commercial.

150
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: So after that, I was like, I'm smoked, bro, I

151
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: cannot do anymore. My voice was hoarse, just did so

152
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: much talking, you know. So I just went home and

153
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: just chilled, and I go out with my daughter and

154
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: my wife. Oh there were talkbacks last week that I

155
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: did not get to, especially about my mother in law

156
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: and having Nonny on after I yelled.

157
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: At her, justin you're a monster yelling at poor nanny.

158
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: Poor thing was just trying to help. We'll give you

159
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: a pass, because when you're shoveling snow and someone goes

160
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: out there and critiques it, I would be furious as well.

161
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: Well. She wasn't critiquing my shoveling. She was telling me

162
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: to get the snow out of the grill of my car,

163
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: my new car. And then I yelled at her because

164
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: I was annoyed. And then turns out I really should

165
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: have gotten the snow out because my check engine light

166
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: came on because I'm an obstruction on the grill of

167
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: the car. So she was right on that. Now it's

168
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: about the ice dams. Now she's talking about the ice

169
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: dams on the roofs now. I'm paranoid about that. But

170
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: some listeners sent in some tips to my DMS about

171
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: the ice dams on my roof, which I thought was

172
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: pretty cool. One of which because the gutters at the

173
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: ball everything's frozen up there, so the water has no

174
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: place to go. And then when the heat you know,

175
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: comes up through the house and melts, and the water

176
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: can go into the house. But someone left me a

177
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: tip ready for this. She said to put ice melt

178
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: in pantyhose and throw it up there and let the

179
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: ice melt melt the ice. I don't know if that

180
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: works or not, but it seems seems like it would

181
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: seems like something mac Hollins from the Patriots would happen

182
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: on his Instagram page. But you know, no issues yet.

183
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: But when I look up, I just see mountains of

184
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: ice on my roof and on my gutters. I do

185
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: have a roof rake, but you know, it's plastic. I

186
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: can't really break the ice. So I don't know a

187
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: little concerned about that. So now I just I listen

188
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: to Nanny what she says, even though sometimes she drives

189
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: me nuts when she says things I listen, you know.

190
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: So as for you all, please leave me a talk

191
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: back on the iHeart app for the after show. Anything

192
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: you want me to cover, anything you want me to

193
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: talk about. This is an open book podcast. You know,

194
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: I can talk about whatever you want. I don't want

195
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: to just talk about me and my crazy drug stories

196
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: and addiction. You know, I love talking about that stuff.

197
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: But you know I've talked endlessly about it. I remember

198
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 1: when Becks was the co host of the podcast, I

199
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: would talk about it with her. So yeah, hit me up,

200
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: hit the after show up, join it. I'll be back

201
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow with another podcast, maybe a guest, maybe not. Maybe

202
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I'll pull someone on. That's how the after show works.

203
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: It's very free flowing. You know. After the show, I

204
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: might grab Billy or Lisa, or producer Riley or McCabe

205
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: or Ashley, you know, anyone that's kind of around. Maybe

206
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: maybe a salesperson. I mean, I don't know what we

207
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: talk about. Maybe you know radio sales. I don't know

208
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: if that's interesting. If it is and it's something you

209
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: want to hear, hit this up on the talkbacks. I

210
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. Bye,
