1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, the after show podcast is on. It is

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: justin here. Welcome in everybody. First and foremost, I want

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: to say sorry for no podcast on Friday. I was

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: a bit tired. I was a bit busy. Billy had

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: me running ragged all morning, so to try my best

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: to check in and sometimes I can't, and it is

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: what it is. But I'm here today. It is Monday,

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: October twenty seventh. I hope the weekend was awesome. I

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: had a good weekend. I didn't. I had baseball with

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: my son and then had some people over for the

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: game yesterday, which we typically do when the Pats are on,

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: and it was a low key weekend. We're looking forward

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: to next weekend. But Halloween is on Friday and it

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: looks like it's going to rain, so I have to

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: deal with that fallout with my wife. But anyway, I'm here,

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: and if you just listen to the show, this is

17
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: the companion piece that goes with the Billy and Lisa show.

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: It's where I jump on and I used to have

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: a co host, Winnie, but she's no longer here, so

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: now it's just me and sometimes I'll be talking to

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: myself and sometimes I'll be talking to others, random people.

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Ashley Feldman from Jamming's gonna come on this week. Maybe

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: we'll get Billy Lisa. But today a special guest for

Speaker 1: a girl from the Street Team. She lasted about a

64
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: month and then I don't know what her deal was.

65
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: She was super nice, maybe it wasn't her thing, and

66
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: so she left. And then they were like, well, it's

Speaker 1: a girl, Riley that really wants to jump in and

68

86
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720

87
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: also backed up Winnie on the board, so you would

88
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: fill in for her if she had to go to

89
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the bathroom or if she was out, you would fill

00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: in on that, right.

91
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

92
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: You also do the five am hour every day before

93
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: the show. You do Saturday morning eight to nine am,

94
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: the best of the week. Those are things that I

95
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: had when you started to show an interest in wanting

96
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: to be on air, I said, can you please take

97
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: these off my hands because I've been doing them for

98
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: so long and that's how I got my foot in

99
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: the door. Right, So it's good practice. Right. Do you

100
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: like doing it?

101
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: I like doing it. Yeah.

102
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: Are you upset that I pawned it off on you?

103
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: No? No, I'm not upset. I did I wish that

104
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: stuff like that came with more money, Yes, yes, I point,

105
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: but you know, we all have to start somewhere. And

106
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: that's the advice that you always give me.

107
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: That's it. I know it sucks. It sucks to say

108
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: because I remember when I was like coming up and

109
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: I've made no money for so many years, and my

110
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: family told me to walk away, and there were people

111
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 1: that would hear longer that said your time will come.

112
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Your time will come, And it's true. Can I say

113
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: the same thing to you? You never know when your

114
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: time is going to come? Okay, So that's what you've

115
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: been doing for the past couple of years. And then

116
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden one day they're like, we're doing

117
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: layoffs and they lay off Winnie. That was crazy. Now,

118
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: that morning was nuts. I've told the story from my

119
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: point of view. Now from your point of view. You

120
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: were in your studio, did you even know something was

121
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: going on.

122
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 2: Oh, I had no idea. You guys actually scared me

123
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: badly because I was putting up the podcast and you came.

124
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: You and Dylan walked into the main studio and you like, onto,

125
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I called you a glass that is between us,

126
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: and it scared me so bad and I walked in.

127
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: I went, I tried to make a joke like, I

128
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: was like, oh, you guys scared me, and everybody's face

129
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: was like so blank that I was like, okay, not

130
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: the time we're joking.

131
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get no warning on that stuff.

132
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: Oh, no idea, it's.

133
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: Crazy, It's crazy. Okay, So my first time will pause there.

134
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: My first time it ever happened to me. I came

135
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: in working as an intern on the Romero and Pebble's

136
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: morning show on Jammin' and that was a show that

137
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: had been around forever. So I was an intern on there,

138
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: and one day, just like that morning, I went, I

139
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: was working in the studio. The show ended, and then

140
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: I saw people going in and out of the studio.

141
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: I really didn't know what was going on. And then

142
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Santi came in and I never forget the look on

143
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: his face, and he's like they've got rid of Melissa

144
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: and Pebbles, two of the co hosts on the show,

145
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: gone crazy, and I go, oh, what do you mean gone?

146
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: What do you mean? They're like they're gone. Like that's

147
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: how that's how it goes. So that was my first experience.

148
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: But every time it happens, and it's happened since then,

149
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: it happens in every company. That's the thing that sucks,

150
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: Like it could happen to me, It could happen to

151
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: any of us, you know. It's just it's a really sucky.

152
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: Thing, especially when we work for such a big company.

153
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. It happens at the same exact time

154
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: across the entire country. There isn't I can't say this enough.

155
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: There isn't like a time when they come to us

156
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we're thinking about.

157
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: Doing this change.

158
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: They just do it. It's like I remember I said

159
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: to my boss, I go, is it like does it

160
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: have to be this way? And it's like, yeah, the

161
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: decision has been made. There's not like going back from it.

162
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: It's a tough thing. So that happened that morning, right,

163
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: So then they tell us what's going on, and then

164
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: so obviously Winnie's role on the show was multiple things, right.

165
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: She was the voice, okay, so she spoke on the show.

166
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: She was a co host, and then she was also

167
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: a producer and so she ran the board and she

168
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: did some other things, the video cameras, all that stuff.

169
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: And luckily Riley had been already doing it right. So

170
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: some people make comments like, oh, you were you training

171
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Riley to take over for Winnie. First of all, you

172
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: didn't take over for Winnie, like you don't speak on

173
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: the show.

174
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the same role.

175
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: You're a producer. Yeah. So luckily we had you right

176
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: because if it wasn't you, it was going to be me.

177
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that would not work.

178
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: That would not work on the show. That would not

179
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: work on the show. So so Riley, you've definitely stepped up,

180
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: and you've definitely obviously we're trying to fill up avoid

181
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: producing wise and on the air wise, you know what

182
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean. And so the producing part is really an

183
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: important piece to it, and you've done a great job.

184
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: Thank you. I think a lot of things. Another thing

185
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: that people don't realize too, is that when you guys

186
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: are away on vacation, I'm producing the show by myself

187
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: like you do. All of the tracks. But then I'm

188
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: here making sure that it runs correctly. And I have

189
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: been doing that for like a year now. So they

190
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: luckily knew that they could trust me, which is a

191
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: good thing that it worked out like that. Like it

192
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: it sucked and we didn't know what was going to happen,

193
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: but like I guess it was good that I was there.

194
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: It's great that you were there. It's great that you

195
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: were there. And I've told you this before about my

196
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: like journey and radio. I just learned as much as

197
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: I could, and then like when an opportunity came, you know,

198
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: sometimes at a in a sad instance, you're there ready

199
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: to go, like Okay, I can step in, I can

200
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: fill this position, I can do this work. So it's

201
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: been you've helped make the transition easier, you know, you

202
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because it's not been easy. It's been.

203
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: It's been tough. I know a lot of people are

204
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: struggling with it too. Like I got a DM the

205
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: other night, I of nowhere, Saturday, I'm chilling at home,

206
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: A DM comes there and it's a woman. Don't you

207
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: care about Winnie? Like what what are you talking about?

208
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: And we've said that multiple times. Yeah, Like we can't

209
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 2: say it every day, but we've said it enough that

210
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: it's Yeah, we didn't want this to happen, but it did.

211
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just the way it is. It's just it's

212

241
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: weekend as somebody that was telling them the story about

242
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, everything with winning and everything, and I go,

243
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: it's just like the new normal like that, you know

244
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: that COVID phrase. That's really what it is. It's just

245
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: the new normal, you know. And I think we're doing okay.

246
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: We're doing okay, we're adjusting, we're having fun as best

247
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: we can. That was the hardest part, right about the

248
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: whole thing, Yeah, is we do a comedy show, an

249
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: entertainment show. So here we are, boom, we lose one

250
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: of our members. We need to go on and have

251
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: a funny show like.

252
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: What Yeah, like the next day and Billy wasn't.

253
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Here, and Billy wasn't here.

254
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 2: Which is like, yeah, the craziest part.

255
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mikey was here. Yeah, but even when Billy came back,

256
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: like the mood was down and we need to like

257
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: still put on a show. It's really a bizarre thing.

258
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: But you know what that is, Riley, That's what they

259
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: say is showbiz. Yeah, show bizz, baby, I guess, make

260
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: it work. I mean, it's not the first time it's happened.

261
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: It's not the last time it's gonna happen. It sucks,

262
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: and it's the way of the world. I think a lot. Look,

263
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: and I drive to work every morning, I listen to

264
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: WBZ radio and I listen to the headlines from around

265
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: the world, around the country, all that stuff, and I

266
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: hear it. I hear you know, Amazon lays off ten

267
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: thousand workers, you know all these different Target. Target is

268
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: laying off a ton right now too. It's just the

269
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: way of the world, man, you know, please keep it moving.

270
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: So I think for you, I think, well, first I

271
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: want to say thank you for all your help.

272
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, yes, first of all for training me.

273
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: When I came to you after like four months in

274
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: and said, hey, I want to know what you do,

275
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: you were like, come here, little Bertie, I'll put you

276
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: under my wing and I'll train you up so when

277
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: something like this happens, you'll be ready.

278
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're welcome. But the other part of that is

279
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: is is like I try to think of myself as

280
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: an egotistical person. I know that's an egotistical thing to say.

281
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: You know. It's like when you say, like, I'm humble,

282
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to say I'm umble. It means you're

283
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: not humble. But I do sometimes feel like when when

284
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: I show people what I do and they're like wow,

285
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, it makes me feel good, not in the

286
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: sense of I'm big and bad and great. I just

287
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: feel proud of the work that I do and how

288
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: I do it and the fact that I'm able to

289
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: show you and you're like, wow, that's really good. That's

290
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: how you do that. That's how you pull up the

291
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: audio so quick, that's how you store the audio. Wow.

292
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: So it just made me feel good.

293
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say I did stand over Justin shoulder

294
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 2: for about a year. Yeah, watching you constantly all the time,

295
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: and that is the correct reaction. When you watch what

296
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 2: Justin does, you go wow, that's how you do that.

297
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah, if anybody like could ever just like

298
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: stand over your shoulder. They'd be very impressed with you.

299
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes me feel good, you know, because I mean,

300
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: I take this very serious, this career that I've built.

301
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: It's uh. I always say, I always say this. I

302
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: always say for me, I like being on the air.

303
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: It's it's fun, it's great. I don't take it for granted.

304
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: I like, I like talking on the microphone. I think

305
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm good at it some days, some days I don't.

306
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: But what I really love is the producing and the

307
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: audio aspect that I'm able to add. That makes me

308
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: feel good. Man, Yes, exactly, exactly. And that's the mist

309
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: That's the thing with the Winnie, right is with the

310
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: show is is I was I'm not a comedian, but

311
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: I can use the clips to be funny, you know

312
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: what I mean. And I can't do what Winnie did

313
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Whennie would just say whatever she wanted. She just naturally

314
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: liked that in life, and so I can't do that.

315
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: But I can do that with the clips, you know,

316
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't just I can't be mean. I'm

317
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: just not that person.

318
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

319
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: Well, Plus like there were times in the past where

320
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: I would maybe go down that road of being like

321
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: mean a little bit, and I think because of my past,

322
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: it just doesn't hit. It doesn't hit right, and it

323
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: feels a little weird. They're like, wait, you're a former

324
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: criminal who's been to prison, former drug addict, and now

325
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: you're mean, Like, no, you're the you know, you've turned

326
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: your life around. It doesn't work, So that's not me.

327
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: But I want to say, continue doing what you're doing.

328
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: You're doing a great job. And you're working for the

329
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: Bruins too. So on top of all that the extra

330
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: work here, how many days are you at the Bruins

331
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: every home game.

332
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: I don't work every single home game. I work a

333
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: lot of Thursdays and Saturdays. I told my boss that

334
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: I will not be working Tuesdays anymore. Yeah, I basically

335
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: said it. It just doesn't work with my schedule anymore.

336
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, I get home around eleven o'clock on game

337
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: days and then I get up at three thirty the

338
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: next day.

339
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: There we go. So that's wait, so it's only Friday morning.

340
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: You're doing that? Yeah? Right, see Thursday and Saturday home games.

341
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah, But the way that it works is like

342
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: you have to work fifty percent of all games. So

343
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: like if there's only like if I have to work

Speaker 2: a Tuesday and a Thursday back to back. I have to,

345
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: Like there's like no like option to not do it.

346
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: And what do you do there?

347
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: So I work on their promo teams, so everything that's

348
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
