00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,800

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: have a special guest I will introduced in just one second.

00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about this one, and so on all

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: of you. I got a lot of dms this weekend

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: about this person coming on. We have a lot to

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: talk about. But I always say to leave a talk

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: back for the after show. You can do that on

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: the iHeart app. You can listen to this podcast on

13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: many different platforms, but the iHeart app is the only

14
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: one you can send a talk back in. And how

15
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: you do that is you pull up the podcast on

16
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: the iHeart app and while you're listening, there's a little

17
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: microphone that you pressed. You can join in on the conversation.

18
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: I'll take I'll take love, but I'll take hate too.

19
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: Sometimes people send hateful stuff. That's okay. Just know that

20
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm the only one that's ever going to read it.

21
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: So there's that. But thank you everybody.

22
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: Justin just wanted to say good job holding down that

23
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: after show podcast.

24
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Been doing a great job, dude.

25
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: If you ever want to have the twenty twenty two

26
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: OG original recipient of the very first Talkbacker of the

27
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: Year award on your show, I'm always available. Feel free

28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: to reach out and schedule at any time. But besides that,

29
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: I had been listening to you since the very first

30
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: days of BECKS when you guys first started.

31
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: You're doing a great job man holding it down, do

32
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: you think, brother? Thank you Brian. Yeah, he was the

33
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: first Talkbacker of the Year a few years ago when

34
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: we launched that, so thank you to him for checking in.

35
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: But my guest today is, well, he's a very humble

36
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: human being. Okay, even though he doesn't say that he's humble,

37
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: he is. And if it wasn't for this person, I

38
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: would not be sitting here and I would not have

39
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: a career in radio. Now. I've said that those words

40
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: to this person, and every time he says no, no, no,

41
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: no no. You're here because of you and the work

42
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: that you did, welcome Santi, Well, thank you, I do.

43
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 3: I honestly feel like you put in all the work

44
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: you needed to get clean, to put yourself in a

45
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: situation to have the internship to do a good interview

46
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: in all these things. So I can't take credit for

47
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: that if anything. Yes, but it's only because I saw

48
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: something within you. So when I say stuff like that,

49
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: it's because you put on, you put the work in.

50
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna go through it all. We're going to

51
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: go through it all. But first and foremost, you are

52
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: a co host on the Ashley and the jam In

53
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: morning show. Now you've worked in radio on jammin. Yeah,

54
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: over twenty years. There was a period you were laid off.

55
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. I think when you add all together,

56
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: it's something like twenty one years.

57
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so we'll go. We're gonna go back to

58
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: where you started and all the pranks and all that stuff.

59
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: But as far as with me, the reason why I

60
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: give Santy the credit or some of the credit is yeah,

61
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: because he mentioned getting clean. I got clean. I went

62
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: back to school and you know, I was about to graduate,

63
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: and you know, the teacher said to me, you know,

64
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: you need to start looking at internships. And I was like,

65
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I had this record right at

66
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: criminal record, and so she kept pushing me, and I

67
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: was like, well, maybe the news or something, and she goes,

68
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: what do you really want to do? And I said, well,

69
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: my dream, I mean, my dream is radio. You know,

70
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: I grew up listening to jam in ninety four to

71
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: five to kiss, want to wait? I remember being locked

72
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: up listening to the radio, and she goes, well, why

73
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: don't you just send an email? And I was honest

74
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: with her and I told her, and she was like, look,

75
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: you know, you got to shoot your shot. Basically, you'll

76
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: never know if you don't try. So I looked up

77
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: on Jammin and your name came up. Okay, and so

78
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: that I sent my resume and you emailed back and

79
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: you set up an interview. Okay. Now, you were known

80
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: on Jammin the first time as Crazy Culo, which I knew,

81
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: but I never knew your name was Santy because Romero

82
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: never called you Santy. He called you crazy Cool on

83
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: their on the air. On the air. Yeah, yeah. So

84
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: when I got the interview, I remember I was telling

85
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: people and I was telling one of my friends. I'm like,

86
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: I got an interview with this guy Santy Santiago and

87
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: he's like, that's Crazy Culo and I was like, no way,

88
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: what And so then I ended up coming in did

89
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: the interview, so nervous. I mean how much did I weigh?

90
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I just started my fitness journe so

91
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: that was that was in May of twenty eleven. I

92
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: joined the gym like in April of two thousand and eleven.

93
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: So I just started working out and I did the

94
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: interview and I left, and I thought to myself, there's

95
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: no way, and you emailed me back and hired me.

96
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: It's I don't remember scheduling everything. I don't remember that

97
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: part of it. I do remember you coming in for

98
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: the interview, and I think like there was something in

99
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: your eyes that I noticed that, like you were just focused.

100
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: You wanted to I didn't know you wanted to make

101
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: a change, but you seem like you wanted to do

102
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: something good. And I felt that, and I felt that

103
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: for the minute you walked in. And you also seem

104
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: like you were just into the entire thing. Because like

105
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: you have to imagine how many At the time the

106
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: internship program hey was really big. So I would do

107
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: like probably interview twenty people a semester at the very least,

108
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: and half the people wanted to work there just because

109
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: they thought it was cool, right, And I could pick

110
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: that up like instantly, and that was the last person

111
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: we wanted to hire because at the end of the day,

112
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: there is work that surrounded that and I got that

113
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: center of me that you were there for the work

114
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: instead of like the fame part.

115
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I think that's one benefit that

116
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: I that being having a past and like going through

117
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: addiction and all that stuff has helped me tremendously because

118
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: I've seen the other side. Yeah, you know what I mean,

119
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Like when you've come from the bottom and you get

120
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity like that, like you can't fuck it up.

121
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: Yes, but I've seen so many people come through here

122
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: and exactly it just fuck it up. Yeah, so many people.

123
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: They're like even people I see on Facebook today, there's

124
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: a handful. There's one in specific that had an opportunity

125
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: to be on the air at ninety four to five,

126
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: had an opportunity to like send in his tape and

127
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: like I kept telling him, look, put in your air track,

128
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: put in all these things. And he always had a

129
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: thing about him like he didn't want to do the

130
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: like the work part about Yeah, this person DJ still

131
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: so it's like I don't understand, Like, so you'd rather

132
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: be doing that than then have this opportunity that you

133
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: just completely fumbled.

134
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: It is a fumbling, yeah, essentially what it is.

135
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: Here's a good example. This was after one of the concerts,

136
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: like back in the day when we used to do

137
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: like Monster Jam, and after the show's two things I

138
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: either would happen. Either you would go to a party

139
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: and have fun, or you do all the post concert work,

140
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: like packing up like everything. When you're on the Street Team,

141
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: your responsibility is to pack everything up, load all the vans,

142
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 3: bring all the stuff back here to the radio station.

143
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: A bunch of them on the Street Team, including me,

144
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: got invited to a party. I couldn't go to the

145
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: party because my mind is like listen, I have to

146
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: pack up all the T shirts that didn't get sold

147
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: and bring them back to the radio station. Ninety nine

148
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 3: percent of the people on the Street Team at the

149
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: time went to the party peace like by I was

150
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: left to buy myself ye to pack up the van.

151
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: I was so mad, But I really, honestly in the moment,

152
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: felt like, Okay, I'm doing the right thing, So I

153
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: was happy with that. Now you fast forward, they're all gone.

154
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: They don't work here because their priorities here were on

155
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: that part of the business, not the responsibility part.

156
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: Yep yep, yeah, because it's like you know, yes, you

157
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: will meet famous people, yeah, artists, Yeah, but there is

158
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: a lot of work that goes into it. And that's

159
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: something that I took from you. You were my mentor.

160
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: So I got hired as an intern and I watched

161
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: how you and you taught me so many gems, like

162
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: so many, Like one in particular is when you're a producer,

163
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: you pick and choose what the hosts know and don't know. Yeah, right,

164
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: And it's a little bit different now because now you're

165
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: a co host. I mean you were on the air

166
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: back then, but it was like Romero and Pebbles and Melissa,

167
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,559
Speaker 1: and you know, you have to remember that they're doing

168
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: a show. So if you say something negative to them

169
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: or something that they're not gonna like, that could affect

170
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: the show absolutely. So I still do that to this day,

171
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Like I keep like Billy and Lisa, maybe I wait

172
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: till after the show, but I don't tell them during

173
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: the show.

174
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: That's exactly you have to gay keep the information because

175
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 3: if you tell somebody at six am about something, depending

176
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: on who the person is, it will ruin their entire day,

177
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: and it'll ruin the entire show. So there is also

178
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: a way to clean up the information. If the information

179
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: gets passed you in a very direct way, there's a

180
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: way to like echo the information on the other end

181
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 3: of things, but also couple it with some positivity, like listen,

182
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: this may not be the news you want to hear,

183
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: but after this, here's what we're going to do to

184
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: solve the problem. So yeah, there's a lot of that.

185
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people in this business who don't understand.

186
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's what takes a good producer is essentially,

187
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: you know. And I just remember, like I don't have

188
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: ever told you this. My first day here, I went

189
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: in and I sat in the studio and I was

190
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: with a little AJ. She was also an intern, had

191
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: been there a few months before me. And I went

192
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: in and I sat down and we were doing the

193
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: pre show stuff, and then the music started for the show.

194
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: And as it was playing, we're sitting there, and I

195
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: got this overwhelming sense of like gratitude, and I started

196
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: to like, well up, you know, and so now I'm

197
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: like yawning, trying to hide it. I remember, like little

198
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: AJ looked at me and goes say you okay, and

199
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm fine because it was emotional being

200
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: here in that moment. And those early days, man, were

201
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: like because I was an intern and I just wanted

202
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: to be here, and I was only here two days

203
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: a week, so I would come here and I would

204
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: want to stay all day long and just learn and yeah,

205
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: do cool stuff like meet famous people. But after a while,

206
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: it's like, I'll tell this one story. So when you

207
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: first start, you know, anybody that you meet, you're like,

208
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: let me post this picture, you know, and I remember

209
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: said to you used to get on because he's a

210
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: motherfucking ballbuster. Okay, so you know where this is going.

211
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what it was. It is about.

212
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: Oh yo, you'll remember this one. So one day, two

213
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: Patriots cheerleaders came in. Okay, okay, And so they came

214
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: in for like an interview or for something. And I

215
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: walked them in and then I walked them out, and

216
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: when I walked them out, I asked them for a picture.

217
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: And so I got a picture standing in between them

218
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: when I'm around them, and I posted it right to Facebook.

219
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: I walked in, you were like, you are a loser.

220
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Really is this how low we're going Patriots cheerleaders And

221
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: it's so funny because it shows up on my Facebook.

222
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: Memories, And I guess here's my thought process behind it

223
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: is like two things. Out of all the people I'm

224
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: gonna walk through the doors, it's them that you want

225
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: to post it. Then also, this goes to everybody. I

226
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: got into the point where all these people that I've

227
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: seen so many insecurities on everybody because we all have these, right,

228
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: But with the with just the celebrities, it's like they're

229
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: just average people just because they do what for their

230
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: jobs and all this stuff. I understand it, but I've

231
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: been through it so many years that I've now seeing

232
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 3: them as an average person who's broken like all of us.

233
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: And that's why I'm like, I'm not posting this person

234
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 3: or like they're a weirdo. But with the cheerleaders, I

235
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: was like, man, this dude was so happy, he's so excited.

236
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, oh my god, what am I doing?

237
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: And I said, that's another thing that I noticed with

238
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: you is because you had been there in the business

239
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: for so long, you wouldn't you wouldn't get excited about

240
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: any like celebrity. No, you think it was cool. But

241
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, yeah, you come in, you do

242
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: your job, get them in, interview them.

243
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: It was always the most random ones that I wou

244
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: get excited for, mainly because they probably did some random

245
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: movie that I love back back in the eighties or

246
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 3: something like that.

247
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I'm into the nineties hip hop, so I

248
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: get excited for that. But you got to tell the

249
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan story. Joe Rogan, Yeah, when he was he's

250
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: a comedian.

251
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: Yes, and at the time he was doing his comedy

252
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 3: tours here in Boston, and usually at that time, whenever

253
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: you did a tour, you would come in promote on

254
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: the radio, so people would buy tickets. Joe Rogan comes

255
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: in I think at the time also to people had

256
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: known him for the UFC and for Fear Factor, so

257
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: he was well known. But I didn't know he was

258
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: into MMA at the time. So Rameiro's like talking about

259
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: MMA and Joe Rogan had a friend that choked somebody

260
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: out in a hotel room. But the guy there was

261
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: some story like behind that. In the moment, like Rameiro's like, well,

262
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: why don't you choke him out? And again I didn't

263
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: really understand how these things worked, So he goes, fine,

264
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: so this is live on the air, puts me in

265
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: a choke hold, squeezes in like two seconds. I went

266
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: to go tap and I passed out. He hit the floor. Yeah,

267
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 3: he choked me out live on the air. Now if

268
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: you look on the internet somewhere out there. But yes,

269
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: that was one of my first experiences with Joe Rogan.

270
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: Now fast forward a couple of years like after that,

271
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 3: I'm at a random UFC event and I'm sitting in

272
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: like the press area. All of a sudden, somebody comes

273
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: up behind me and puts me in like a choke hold.

274
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, what is happening? It was turned around and

275
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: it's him because he remembered that whole thing.

276
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah wait is this pre podcast, pre podcast? Yeah, so

277
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: the time he came back up to you was pre

278
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: still pre podcast, pre podcast, before he became Joe Rogan.

279
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: Y yes, yes, oh my god.

280
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: But still to this day one of the most like

281
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: down to earth people I've ever met, who was just

282
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: like a real dude.

283
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what I love about him. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

284
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: I like Joe. I listened to his podcasts. I like

285
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: his guests. I'm how they just talk yes, it's not

286
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: an interview style. Yeah, you know, although sometimes it's annoying.

287
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: Like Mike Tyson was on the.

288
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: First I would have liked that, yeah, because I don't

289
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: want to hear some of the stories.

290
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: I know, but they just talked about ayahuasca. Yeah yeah, Okay.

291
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: So so you started JAM in early two thousands as

292
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: an intern.

293
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. My first day of my internship was June fifth

294
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: of two thousand.

295
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

296
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so intern and then you get hired.

297
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 3: I interned for like at least a couple of years

298
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: because that was my sophomore year in college. So I

299
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: interned for like three or four years before I actually

300
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 3: got hired. And then when I got hired, I got

301
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: hired like part time and I was making like, yeah,

302
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 3: i'll say it was two hudred bucks a week. Wow,

303
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: it was like nothing. And I think at the time

304
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: I was engaged, I was starting my life. I remember

305
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 3: so many people telling me like how can you live

306
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: like that? Like that's a bad move. You need to

307
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: go find a job and stuff. And then and I

308
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: did apply for a couple of jobs, went on some interviews,

309
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: but I realized fast that like I didn't want to

310
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 3: be like in an in your average like nine to five.

311
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: It wasn't for me, like I really wanted to entertain.

312
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know what that meant, but I knew that

313
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: that feeling was kind of in the back of my mind.

314
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: So then I like stopped applying for jobs and kind

315
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: of start at the bottom again in internships. I started

316
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: interning that joins the street team, that Kiss went await

317
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: fresh out of college and we kind of do it

318
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: Kiss Yeah.

319
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah. See he went through what a lot of

320
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: us went through, not making any money in the beginning.

321
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: And that was a big thing for me because when

322
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: I was an intern and I got like part time,

323
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: I was making no money, and you told me you

324
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: had gone through it too. But then you also get

325
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: another thing. You told me, you go, look, you can

326
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: you know, you can leave, you can get another job.

327
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: That's fine, make more money. You need to make money.

328
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: I understand that. He's like, but just so you know,

329
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: anybody who leaves never comes back because there's always another

330
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: intern or something he goes. It's gonna be hard, but

331
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: you need to make the decision on what you want

332
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: to do. And I always remember that and I never left.

333
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: I tough threw it. You eventually, I you know, was

334
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: able to make more money.

335
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: I had opportunities to leave over the last twenty years,

336
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: like a lot of them. I never felt like either one,

337
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: Like there were a few that I really considered. I

338
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: don't regret not taking like any of those, because I

339
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: needed to go through every aspect of this business to

340
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: get to the point where I'm at, like right now.

341
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you get hired as a producer, and then

342
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: at what point do you become this crazy kul o

343
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: prankster character.

344
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: I was on the air before, kind of because they

345
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: always put me on the air for random stuff to

346
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: make fun of me because I was the intern and

347
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: all that stuff, and I think like they saw something

348
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: in my personality and they were at the time the

349
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: radio shows were developing in a way where you had

350
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: to have a stunt gun on like a morning show.

351
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: It just kind of worked. Maddy had Randy Yes, So

352
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: they were like, could you be the dun guy. I'm like, listen,

353
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: it's really not in my nature to do stuff like that,

354
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: but I'll do it just for the opportunity. So they

355
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 3: came up with a character there, my character name and

356
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: all the stuff. I hated the name. I'm like, this

357
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 3: isn't who I am. And then they play like, so

358
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: we're gonna have you call in and just act crazy.

359
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, it's not me, it's not who I am.

360
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, let's go. Let's go to Mike here.

Speaker 1: stunt guy right now. Is this one stunt a.

370
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: Week that you were doing on Fridays? Yeah?

371
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: Oh, so you plan it out throughout the week and

372
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: execute on Friday.

373
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I was the one coming up with all

374
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: the stunts.

375
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: Oh it was you.

376
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: I was writing all the stunts. I came up with

377
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 3: ninety percent of the ideas.

378
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let's go through some of the craziest.

379
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: I would say the craziest one, the craziest one I've

380
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: ever done was when little Joey, who was a gorilla

381
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: at the Franklin Park Zoo escaped. I remember that say

382
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: it happened on the Wednesday. It was all over the

383
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: papers on the news on Thursday. I went down there

384
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: with a gorilla costume and I was acting like I

385
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 3: was a gorilla that got backed out when I tell you,

386
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: and I don't exaggerate things. There was massivesteria around the zoo.

387
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: Car screech and people yelling. We were peered from people

388
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: on the phone because Pop Dog was there too, like

389
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 3: taking first hand accounts from people. People were yelling. Then

390
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: we got a phone call from somebody who worked here

391
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: at the radio station who's related to like a Boston cop.

392
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: He's like, hey, if this is you, guys, you guys

393
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: better lead because they are going down there with intent

394
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: to shoot the gorilla because but also after the day

395
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: before the gorilla attacked some little kid. Oh wow, so

396
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: there was that happening. So I think that was the

397
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: craziest one. I remember we jumped into some random car

398
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 3: that was there that was just pulled pulled up and

399
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: just got us out of the whole thing. Wow. That

400
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: was a crazy one. But another one was April Fool's Day.

401
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 3: I think about what year, and we got the idea

402
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: of buying a thousand balloons, and then we went down

403
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 3: to the Square one mall and we like made a

404
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: fake body and then we lifted the balloons up into

405
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: the up, up into the sky. But I pretended like

406
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 3: I was on the phone, so I'm like, oh my god,

407
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: I can see the highway. This is crazy, And people

408
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: started calling me like I can see him. This one

409
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: lady almost passed out because of the pure like mental

410
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 3: connection that there was a person up in the sky

411
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 3: on a phone arrested I did. The police came up

412
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: and they were like, what are you doing. I'm like,

413
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 3: this is just the stunt. He goes, all right, pull

414
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 3: the balloons down and please go home because like, well

415
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: they can arrest me for flying a balloon, right, So yeah,

416
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: those are the two iconic ones.

417
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Some of the ones I remember are eating the

418
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: bugs we talked about factor, didn't you choke on one?

419
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: They were these giant cock of roaches I think I

420
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: think they were, and I tried to swallow but it

421
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: was so big that the tentacles latched onto my throat.

422
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 3: The show and I kind of passed out and when

423
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: I hit the ground, the thing came out of my mouth.

424
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

425
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you came up with that, Yes, came up

426
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 3: with that one.

427
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: Okay. Was there anything like I remember that? I remember

428
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: like driving I remember listening to this driving a big

429
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: wheel through the Burger King drive through. I forget what

430
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: the rest of the bit was.

431
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: I had to I had to basically ride a big

432
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 3: wheel from like I think it was like, so I

433
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 3: guess back here to the radio station and I stopped

434
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: him for some drive through. It was a long day

435
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: of me just riding that thing. It was awful, a

436
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: little big wheel. Yeah, so that was that one.

437
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: Other ones I remember, oh, hijacking the intercom I think

438
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: at Walmart a monster Jam or Summer Jam lineup.

439
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I did that. And also if you look at

440
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 3: the phone at the time, they had an intercom button,

441
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: so I would just take over the intercom and start

442
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: saying random things. If you look somewhere in the Internet,

443
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 3: that video is out there to that one. They got

444
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: pissed pissed about. But I think those ones were the

445
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: biggest ones. And there were other ones, like that time

446
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 3: I drank a gallon of milk in less than an

447
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: hour and I was throwing off stuff like that, but

448
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: I thought those ones were more funny than anything. And

449
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 3: then there was another time where Pebd Square had flooded

450
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: because of like all the rain, but the flooding was

451
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: really bad. So the news was down there, Good Morning America,

452
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: National News, Lionel.

453
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, in in the.

454
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 3: Back, I'm doing it on an interview. I had to

455
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 3: go to the hospital and get a bunch of shots

456
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: because of it, like there was.

457
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: Bacteria. Yeah, oh my god, that's so funny. So by

458
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: the time that I came on, you had already been pasted.

459
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: The stunt thing kind of was yeah.

460
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 3: Because like what do you do? You couldn't keep doing

461
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: it the same way, and I think it had run

462
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: its course. I just wish that at the time I

463
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 3: was doing them that video was as prevalent as it

464

Speaker 1: my Instagram at justin Beasy and see it. But did

500
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: you know it was going to go that way? All

501
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: that way?

502
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 4: What?

503
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: Like you on the news? I listen. I knew there

504
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: was a chance you would get on the news, but

505
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 3: you were you were so eager just to do it,

506
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: like a good job that I knew was going to

507
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: be really good. Yes, yeah, we would not have sent

508
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: any like anybody else down there who didn't understand how

509
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: this whole thing worked.

510
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: No, I know, I know. And I did a couple

511
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: of other things, like I did the Saint Patrick's Day

512
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: Taste challenge. Do you remember that?

513
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: I don't.

514
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Oh, you don't. So it was for J Cole tickets,

515
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: which I never got. That was the fucking yeah, but

516
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: I didn't get them. Anyway, It's a different part of

517
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: the story. It was Saint Patrick's Day. So what you

518
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: did was you got all types of like nasty food

519
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: and colored it green and then put it in a

520
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: blender and then I had to take a drink it

521
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: not knowing what it was and try to guess what

522
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: the stuff was, and it was like green spam. I

523
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: think it was like poop, like animal poop. I swear

524
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: to God, Yeah, but I did. I definitely did some stuff.

525
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: And then there was the one with Ashley that we

526
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: pranked her. Remember that, Yeah, Now that was a good one.

527
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: That took a lot of planning. We actually planned at

528
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: your house for Easter. It was April Fool's Day, and

529
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, there was a it was a running joke.

530
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: It was not serious, but kind of that you were

531
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: having such a bad influence influence on me. Not bad

532
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: but influence, which really because you were like my mentor.

533
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: I looked up to you. But that like my wife

534
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: was like, you need to chill out with the santy

535
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: stuff because you're spending too much time with him. So

536
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: we came up with this idea that we were going

537
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: to get into a fight on April Fool's Day in

538
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: front of Ashley and fool her, and so we planned

539
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: it out and we ended up doing it. I actually

540
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: have the audio hair somewhere. I have to try to

541
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: find it. But we ended up. Yeah, we planned it

542
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: out where I was in my studio and then you

543
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: came in with Ashley for something and you started like

544
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: poking me, like come on, dude, tell your wife to

545
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: lighten up. And then there was a queue when you

546
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: tapped me on my left shoulder. I was going to

547
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: stand up and tackle you, and we did. And then

548
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: as she's like, we went on the air. Yeah, it was.

549
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: It was really good. I have the audio somewhere, but

550
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: I lost it. The other part of that was what

551
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: the prank is.

552
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: I think the best Frank I've ever done off the

553
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: air was putting the fire alarms in your bag and

554
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: here in the studio.

555
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: That's recent, Yes, that's that's Yeah. That was unbelievable, Santi

556
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: if you missed this, but I don't even know where

557
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: you find these on TikTok shop, These things that sound

558
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: like a fire alarm is out of batteries.

559
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they go off every ten minutes.

560
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like beep, a chirp, it's a chirp. Yeah.

561
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: And he put them in my lunch box. So I

562
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: went home and for days all I heard was the

563
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: sound my whole family. All they heard was the chirping.

564
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: So I literally was searching my house every fire alarm.

565
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: I changed all the batteries. Every fire alarm sat down

566
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: ten minutes later. Now I was so pissed. It turns

567
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: out it was him. He put them in my in

568
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: my bag. So you're still doing pranks all this time later?

569
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: I am, yeah, so, and you have to imagine I

570
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 3: do them at home. Oh this doesn't end like here

571
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: when I'm like, this is this is my entire life.

572
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 3: I just think it's fun to have fun like this

573
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: and to you know, just enjoy life.

574
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: Okay. So so then you obviously Romero leaves, Pebbles and

Speaker 1: Melissa leave, it becomes you know, well there was Romero,

00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: July second, twenty fifteen.

578
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we've talked a lot on this podcast about

579
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: the whole things that happened with DJ Farren on Jam

580
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: and Winnie and all that stuff and the fallout. But

581
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: I have been through so much and you've been through

582
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: even more. Yeah, So from my perspective, my first time

583
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: it ever happened was Melissa and Pebbles out of nowhere

584
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: in my studio one day, just like it happened with

585
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: Winni and DJ farre and show ends. I knew something

586
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: was going on, and then you come in. I'm like,

587
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: what's going on? You're like look, and you just like

588
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: told me, wait what, Like they don't work here anymore.

00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: We're talking about You're like, yeah, you just chill out.

590
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: We'll explain more later. And then it happened to you.

591
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: I would say. My first one like that was Balto's

592
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: our way back in the day. Was you would hear

593
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: for that? I was. I was here for that, not

594
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 3: only here for it, but it happened. Then they put

595
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 3: him in a production room with just me and him,

596
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: and he's like, bro, do you hear what happened? I'm like, yeah,

597
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 3: it goes. What do you think. I'm like, what I think?

598
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: I'm an intern here for like a year. I don't know.

599
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: I'm sorry they put you.

600
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: In a room.

601
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I was like, this is the weirdest thing. So

602
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 3: that was a big one. And then over the years

603
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 3: there's been so many people. You see them come and

604
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: go there, you almost become kind of immune to the

605
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: whole thing. But then when it happens to you, it's

606
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 3: a whole different story. It's a whole different emotions. I

607
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: was there for that too. Yes, I did not see

608
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: that coming. And even that day, I can still remember

609
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: the ride home. I drove all the way home in silence.

610
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: I had tickets to go see a movie that afternoon too.

611
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: I didn't go. Got home and it was still super numb,

612
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: and then the phone calls. Then people started, you know

613
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: phone calls, right, got a phone call from one person saying, hey,

614
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 3: this is kind of what happens when the leader of

615
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: the band doesn't want to be in the band anymore.

616
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow.

617
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 3: I still didn't understand what was happening. I had to

618
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: call my boss and be like, hey, do I come

619
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: back to work because the way it was worried it

620
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 3: was kind of different. So I was confused on that

621
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: end of things. And then you walk in the house

622
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 3: and then you kind of just earn like a brain

623
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: fog over everything. You're kind of like, what do I

624
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 3: do now? Who am I? And at the time, like

625
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: I had almost tied myself to the job so much

626
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 3: that it was who my existence was. But that was

627
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: still the summer. You still ride this high, and for me,

628
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: the load didn't come until November. That's when I started

629
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: to see people moving on. That's when I started to

630
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: see like the Instagram comments stop. That's when I started

631
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: to like feel like there were other things happening where

632
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: like I wasn't going to be a part of.

633
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: So I'm like wow.

634
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: So then I felt really alone. But at the same

635
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 3: time time, through that whole thing, I was like, I'm

636
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: not giving up. So that's when I started partnering with

637
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 3: a lot of like companies on the side and doing

638
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: like the digital stuff, the videos and all stuff, and

639
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: it kind of pushed me into a world where I

640
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: was familiar with and I realized that I was like

641
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 3: having a lot of fun in and I kind of

642
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: kind of went down a different path like after that,

643
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 3: but it's not fun when.

644
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: It happens to you. You literally taught yourself how to

645
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: edit video like well nasty.

646
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 3: I had always had a love for video, and I

647
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 3: started to kind of dabble in the video and I

648
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 3: had done stuff in college, but I was like really

649
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: like loving video right before that. When I kind of

650
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 3: immersed myself in that in that entire world, like listen,

651
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 3: I'm gonna figure this out because I'm seeing that things

652
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 3: are going down that path. And then when I got fired,

653
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I don't have a choice besides this,

654
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 3: So then I just did it. And then I just

655
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: forced myself to learn as much as I can't he like,

656
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: even to this day, every day I learned something else

657
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: about video. I watch a video about somebody editing like

658
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: a certain way.

659
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: So if you don't follow Santy at Santi di Leo

660
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: on Instagram, just go scroll through his page. You'll see

661
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: what he does and the work that he does. It's unbelievable. Yeah,

662
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: it's really good. And that's another thing that you always

663
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: told me was that this isn't who you are.

664
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.

665
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: You got to have something outside of here. It can't

666
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: be everything, because guess what, one day could be gone

667
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: and then who are you.

668
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't even say you have to have something else,

669
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: but don't tell yourself to this existence in the sense of,

670
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: like when it gets taken away, don't be lost on

671
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: who you are. So for me, I kind of did

672
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: that in a way, but shortly after I kind of

673
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 3: found my path. Now, if that happens again, I'm like

674
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 3: not as afraid of the whole thing, just because like

675
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: I feel like I have a path.

676
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you remember what you said after you got

677
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: laid off and you were home what you said the

678
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: best part.

679
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: Was, oh, I spend a time with my family.

680
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Yes, that you got to bring your son to the

681
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: bust off every day. Yes, I'll never forget that.

682
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: My son is now fifteen, turning sixteen in a couple months.

683
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: And at dinner this weekend, I started to cry because

684
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: I was like, he's two years away from college and

685
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: I'm dreading that day. But I was like that summer

686
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 3: that I got fired, that like I don't want to

687
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: say it saved me, but it really saved me. I go,

688
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 3: we would go to lunch like every like a couple

689
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: times a week, like all these things that I would

690
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: never have done if it wasn't for that. Yeah, Like

691
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: I'm getting like emotional right yeah now, but yeah, and

692
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: again I going back to it. I wouldn't change it

693
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 3: because I learned so much about myself and just about

694
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: life getting fired, Like it was probably the best thing

695
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: that happened to because also at the time, I wasn't

696
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: the nicest person. I had an ego, I had a

697
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: different viewpoint on a lot of things, and that was

698
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: so humbling in so many ways that it forced me

699
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: to change.

700
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you brought that up, my God, because

701
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention that about my weight loss journey. Yeah.

702
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: So I had just started, and who's to say whether

703
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 1: I would have kept going if this didn't happen or not.

704
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: But it's a fact that after I started here and

705
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 1: I was working with you and you and Romero wa

706
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: all into fitness, you motivated me.

707
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it wasn't a nice way though. If I

708
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 3: could go back, I wouldn't have done it like that.

709
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's what I'll give an example. Okay. I

710
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: would come in in the morning one day, and it

711
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: happened regularly. I would come in and I would walk

712
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: to my studio and then I would walk out into

713
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: the main studio and I would walk in and I'd

714
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: say good morning, and they'd say good morning, and then

715
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Santo would look at me and goes, you know, I

716
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: can always hear when you're coming, and I go, what

717
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: do you mean? He goes The floor just kind of

718
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: shakes every time you walk boom boom. But listen, I

719
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: needed that. I know I needed that, and it motivated

720
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: me and thank you.

721
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: For that, but well yeah, well, I mean even at

722
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 3: home too. I wasn't the best husband when it comes

723
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 3: to like being present and even comments like that about

724
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: just just the gym. Now I look back to the

725
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: person that I was, I'm like, what was wrong with you?

726
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

727
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: You were doing crazy shit. I remember one time you

728
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: ate only lettuce for a week for a photo shoot.

729
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the payoff is really good, but like

730
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: it's stupid.

731
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: And then you had your clothing line, clothing lines, and

732
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: I used to come out and help sell the T

733
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: shirt I rocked. Who wore more of your Modus collection

734
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: than me? I wore?

735
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: Thank you for that.

736
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: Very welcome, very welcome. So all right, speed it up here.

737
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: So then you get laid off, you start learning other things,

738
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: You get back into radio, not here but somewhere else

739
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: on the country station, and then you end up coming

740
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: back because Ashley got her show and she said I

741
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: won't do it without size.

742
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know what's funny about that. At the time,

743
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: I was just getting ready to leave like the whole

744
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 3: industry as a whole, because I started this company on

745
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: the side that started to kind of like do kind

746
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: of well back then, I'm like uh, this could be interesting.

747
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: So I was gonna go all in on that because

748
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: I felt like my talents are being wasted at the

749
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 3: Country's station. I was like going in like every day

750
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: and being like what am I doing here? Like this

751
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: is like the waste of my time. I was literally

752
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: trying to leave, and then she called me. It's like, hey,

753
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: so I might have this opportunity. Would you come back?

754
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: I go, I don't want to, but because it's you,

755
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: I'm interested. So and she got me back in and

756
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: which was a huge thing because remember, like I got

757
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: to go from this company. I probably said some things

758
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: I should not have on a few podcasts about my boss,

759
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: all these things.

760
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to bring that up, but okay, yeah.

761
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, which I've apologized. And again going back to changing

762
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 3: like I probably would have I would handle things much

763
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: different now if I was in that situation back then.

764
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: So we were able to mend some fences there and

765
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 3: kind of get back into it. But I came back

766
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: into a situation that was better offten when than when

767
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 3: I left, and I had fun. It was it. It's

768
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 3: been awesome and looking back the past like five to

769
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 3: six years, I've gotten better at what I do. I

770
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: wasn't really prepared to kind of have that position when

771
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: I came back, and I know that now, but I

772
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: worked through it. I did all the reps, I did

773
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 3: everything I was supposed to. Now I feel like I'm

774
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: pretty good at what I do. But back then, I

775
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 3: was like, Yeah, looking back, I'm like I was probably

776
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 3: be in way over my head, which is okay, we

777
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 3: were all learning at that point, but yeah, I.

778
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: Mean listen, I watched you work every single day, yeah

779
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: back then, and it was like amazing to me watching

780
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: you work, and I learned a lot. But I will

781
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: say that, yeah, I've seen definitely a change in you

782
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 1: in a good way. Not that you were bad before.

783
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: I wasn't the nicest person. I'll look on a lot

784
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 3: of things were completely off. Yeah, it wasn't they When

785
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: I look back on it, I wasn't as empathetic on

786
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: a lot of things, and and looking back, I'm like, wow.

787
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: But I'm also being very clear. I've now been in

788
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: therapy for four years, which absolutely has changed my life.

789
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: Has changed my life, so I you know, there's different

790
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 3: size of every story. What's in my head is not

791
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 3: always right, so I'm always wrong, but it's just my

792
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: opinion on certain things. Somebody else might have a different

793
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: opinion and be empathetic to what they. You know, there's

794
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 3: all these things.

795
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: I just thought of one more prank that you did

796
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, that was pretty rough.

797
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 3: You.

798
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: I left my Facebook open.

799
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a good one.

800
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: This was a good and he posted me as me

801
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: that we were expecting a child.

802
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: Yes, this was a good one in the sense of

803
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: like it was funny in the time. But again, I

804
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: wouldn't go back and do this again because now as

805
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: a more moture adult, I'm like, you never know what

806
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: somebody's struggle is with conceiving, You never know what somebody's

807
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: history with all that stuff. And here I am post

808
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: thing and ultra sound saying their baby and what that

809
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: sets off on Facebook?

810
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: So my wife's phone was blowing up. My phone started

811
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: blowing up. I'm like, what is going on? And then

812
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: I see it. I go, Sadi, Yeah that was that

813
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: was a good one. That was a good one. So

814
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: it seems like you're in a good spot man now,

815
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: right spot. You still have the side bit side thing.

816
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: You know, Yes, And I was thinking a lot about

817
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 3: where that company have started. That company started as a

818
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 3: way for me just to kind of post my influencer

819
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 3: stuff without getting in trouble. Right now, it's grown into

820
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: a full agency that's.

821
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: Doing really so what what do you do?

822
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 3: In a nutshell? I helped small to medium size businesses

823
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 3: find their social media footprint because it's my belief now,

824
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 3: and I think it's a belief of most people that

825
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 3: a website alone is just not enough. You have to

826
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 3: have a strong social media presence as a business. But

827
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: not just that, you need a life to it. You

828
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 3: need to be consistent, consistently posting content on there that's

829
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 3: compelling and relates to your business. So I help people

830
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: do all that. I write, purdue, edit, shoot all types

831
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: of content for companies.

832
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can go watch some of the stuff on

833
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: his Instagram. It's crazy.

834
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 3: And most of the stuff people don't even know. The

835
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: companies that I've worked with people I might only know one,

836
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: but it's doing really well. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

837
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: I know a bunch of them. Ok, yeah, I know

838
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: the number one Village Home Services.

839
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah.

840
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: How much money are they paying is the question?

841
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 3: You know what? The funny about them is that that

842
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 3: company kind of changed my projective, my perspective on a

843
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: lot of things. Yeah, because when I started working with

844
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 3: this one with a company, they believe in what I did.

845
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 3: And then also it just worked out so well that

846
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 3: it was like, wait a second, I feel like I

847
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 3: can do this, like on a bigger scale.

848
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

849
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: And you know, so any small business or medium size.

850
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: Small to medium sizes. Most of the bigger places have

851
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: in house people, which is completely fine, but the small

852
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 3: to medium sized businesses are are kind of like they

853
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 3: don't really know how to do it. And more so

854
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: service companies like blue collar type companies who are like

855
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: these construction guys. They don't know what the hell. They

856
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: don't have time that they want to work building homes,

857
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 3: They want to work on plumbing, they want to work

858
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 3: on all the stuff. Work with some insurance companies too,

859
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 3: Like these are like middle aged people who don't want

860
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: to do Instagram, but they know that they need to

861
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 3: have it in the everyday life of a business. Yeah,

862
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 3: so they come to someone like me will write their content.

863
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: We'll plan out the entire year and kind of follow

864
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 3: like an entire map and have consistent content up on

865
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 3: their Instagram socials.

866
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll give you an example with village homes. So

867
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: we always like, we don't make fun of it, but

868
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: we just laugh about it because, well, it's a lot

869
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: of hosting. You put a lot of out there, which

870
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: is that's your business, right, But I'll give you an

871
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: example of why it works. Okay, So I'm a homeowner

872
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: and you do all types of videos and all different

873
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: different things that they offer, but one in particular is

874
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: about your fire alarms, yes, and making sure they work,

875
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: they're up to date, you have enough all that stuff,

876
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: and the way you did the video, I was thinking

877
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: to myself, I need to get this done, like I

878
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: need to have them come to my house and check

879
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: because it's dangerous and I need to know what's going on.

880
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: So that's one example. So someone sees that video and

881
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, yeah, okay, I need to do that.

882
00:36:59,760 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 4: Well.

883
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 3: Part of that comes from work in radio for so

884
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 3: long and like doing daily content. But it always needs

885
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 3: to be relatable and have people care. Right. I put

886
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: that same type of concept into my everyday business too.

887
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 3: It's like why should people care? But also it needs

888
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 3: to relate to the average person. With that one is

889
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 3: pretty simple, like listen, you don't want to die, so

890
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 3: why not invest in the fire alarms. It's that simple. Yeah,

891
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 3: so right now we're pushing a whole home generators. We'll

892
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 3: get you one thousand dollars off here we go.

893
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: Listen.

894
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 3: You might think I don't need it. We don't ever

895
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 3: lose power, which is probably the case, but it's that

896
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 3: one time when you lose power for a week and

897
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 3: your comfort's gone. You can't charge anything. Yeah, and then

898
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: it's unsafe for your family, your food spoils, like all

899
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 3: these things.

900
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: This is gonna cost like one hundred bucks for this plug. Love,

901
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: Santi Man, I could talk to you forever, But thank

Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. This a lot of fun.

00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: you put put in you. Thank you for everything you've

929
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: done for me.

930
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: So do you get? So do you get I mean

931
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: I phrased this here when you when you look at me,

932
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: do you ever think back to that that day I

933
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: came in and be like, oh, like you saw something

934
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: in me?

935
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: But you I think you would go to this? Yes,

936
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: I absolutely did. Justin every step of you there was

937
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: Whenever I asked you to do anything, it just got done.

938
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 3: And that was always you. So I'm so I'm definitely no,

939
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: I'm this was expected.

940
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean that.

941
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of people that I can't say that.

942
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: For so, I believe there's a saying that hard work

943
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: beats talent. I do believe that, not in every sense

944
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 1: of the word. I'm like a Matt Siegel. Matt Siegel

945
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: didn't do any hard work, but he was super talented

946
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: and was so successful.

947
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 3: But it just makes you think though that if he

948
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 3: had the hard work part or had more of that,

949
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 3: what that could have been.

950
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: But I get what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, but for me,

951
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, not that I don't think that I'm talented,

952
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: but I believe that I can work hard and I

953
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: can bring something to the table, like getting things done,

954
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: going the extra mile. I remember me remember this interning, okay,

955
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: and there would be mornings where it would be slow, right,

956
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: and I would clean the morning show office.

957
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 3: Yes, I do remember.

958
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: Nobody would tell me I would, just it was dirty,

959
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: so I'm like, I need to do something. I'm not

960
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: just gonna sit here on my phone. So I would

961
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: clean it, you know, not for brownie points, but because

962
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: I was there to do it job.

963
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I remember that.

964
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's what I did. So we had a lot

965
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: of fun.
