Yeah it did. It did go up, So go check
that out if you if you.
Speaker 2 (00:47):

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, we did a Friday one. You know. We're staying
on this. We're doing it. We were supposed to have
a special guest today, they got moved to next Tuesday.
That's a man Powers, my buddy Power.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You better be here next Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I like having im on because he's just a maniac.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, I love him.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
He's like out of his mind.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I like wish sometimes that I was like a previous addict,
so I could be an endorser because he's so good.
I love them.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, how it happened is we both got cleaned together.
I went into radio and you knew him when you
got clean? Yeah, oh yeah, we got clean right around
the same time. I think. I think he's like a
year after me. So we went to the same meetings,
we knew the same people. Actually, a really cool story
when he is that you know, he was a bottom
drug addict like myself and when he got clean. What
do you mean bottom drug meaning like live on the streets.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oh, you know, because there's like functioning ones.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yes, functioning is you have a job and the functioning
addicts and alcoholics are the hardest. One's very scary to me.
Well no, it's it's like, well why would I stop.
I'm going to work every day.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
But he also like they hide it. So what my
cousin was a functioning hero atic?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, you have no idea.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
He passed away, but he had like a six figure job, right,
he had a company car, and you know what, he
would have the needles in his company car.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So if they're getting a paycheck every week, they can
afford their habit, then why would they stop. Yeah, So
when he got clean, he has a couple of brothers,
and one of his brothers was so grateful for all
the people, all the men in recovery that helped his
brother and gave him a brother back, that he would
cook dinner once a week at his house for like
sixty men, that just as a thank you. It's crazy.
(02:19):
So anyway, Maddie, when he got clean, he went into
the recovery world. He opened up a sober house. He
named it after this guy, Chelsea Bob, who was a
legend in the recovery community. It's called Chelsea's House. Now
he has like seventeen of them. And then yeah, and
then he opened up Power of Recovery.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So he's seventeen sober house something like that. And then
he has Power Recovery.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And and I don't know if I can say this
or not. I think you can. He's about to open
a detox what's the difference. Uh, Well, the Power of
Recovery is a day program like overnight detoxes overnight and
they give you drugs to get you off of the drugs,
like methadone a box and other things, librium, you know,
stomach stuff. There's a whole protocol. Yeah cause you get
(03:00):
maucious zofran. Oh okay, yeah, so you just go in
and they get you off there. Then they place you
somewhere if you want to go to further treatment. So yeah,
so he's like really big into it, but he's he's
a nut.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know, they probably place you power recovery.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Uh that's an option, that's true. That's true. Or or
they might need a sober house, Chelsea's house. See, he's
got the whole thing down, you know what I mean.
This is a business business. He's a business minded.
Speaker 2 (03:28):

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I literally said, someone asked me that, and I said
anything justin asked me to do I'm not doing.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I mean, it's not just me, man, everyone's talking about Severns.
Should give it a shot?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
What should I do? I mean, it was weren't you
so happy that we had a snow day when we
were not working? Because I could not imagine having to
get my ass up out of bed yesterday?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It was nice.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I went to awake, Yeah, I talked about that. Can
we talk about that real quick?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
What your uncomfortable moment? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So I went to awake and it was for a
family friend, my sister's friend's dad. Really nice guy. But
I used to babysit for them when I was in
middle school in high school. So we're talking like he
was my first employer. Back then I was making like
seven dollars an hour babysitting. So we're talking like early,
like two thousand and five, six seven, whatever. So they've
(04:51):
choose kids.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So you were in middle school in two thousand and.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Five, Yeah, well we were. Yeah, I was in seventh grade,
sixth grade, seventh grade. But back then, I feel like
you babysat sooner I started babysating like twelve and thirteen,
like anyways, so I babysat for them for date nights whatever.
Really nice couple, really nice guy, really nice family. So
we're going.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So he passes away natural causes.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
No, he was only sixty. He had some first heat
like his whole life. He had a kidney issue, like
he had got two kidney transplants, but because of the medicine,
because of the kidney transplants actually fucked up his liver,
so then he had liver issues and then you get
a stroke.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Poor guy.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, really but really really nice guy. So of course
I wanted to go, but my mom and my sister
my dad were going in a different time, and I
was wiy of other things going on. I'll go alone,
which honestly was a big step for me. I hate wakes.
I don't know anyone that really likes wakes.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They're the worst.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But going alone, this is my first time, I think,
going to a week alone. So I'm in line. Whatever,
it's an hour wait, okay, get up there, you.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Know hour wait.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah. He was a really nice wow.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah he was loved.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah he was so I you know, I nail down,
I pray it at the casket, and I get up
and I give his wife a hug, and I said
how are you? Like, yeah, what do you mean? How
are you here with his her fucking husband is dead
in the casket next to you? Fuck no, three feet away?
How are you? She's not fucking good.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Right now, Whinnie, you're supposed to say?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It was it was so awkward, but she's like she's like,
oh me and Bill would always say, oh, when do
you say today? On the radio, like they would listen
like they're so sweet. Then I gave his daughter a hug.
Then his son, who I have not seen in years
is now like twenty four to twenty five. He's a teacher.
He is he's tall with like a beard and long hair,
and I like barely recognize the kid. And he's like,
thanks for babysitting me. It was like so odd. I
(06:43):
didn't know what to say. I'm like, I'm so sorry,
Like what do you say? And then I cut out
the line because I was not going on the rest
of that fucking line how are you? I know, I
don't want to guys.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I wasn't even like the how are you doing? Because
your husband's dead? It's like, how you doing how you been, Like,
you know, I haven't seen you in a while.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, well it's it's an awkward I know what you mean,
you don't know what to say?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And by the way, I learned recently that the reason
they have wakes. I might be wrong on this, I'm
gonna do my best is because this is morbid is
in Back in the days, I think it was the
Jewish people think Jewish, they started to realize that they
weren't really dead, and they were burying people in the
coffin and they were waking up, and how they found
(07:23):
out were scratch marks? What in the coffin? So they
someone can correct me on this, they started to have wakes,
get it to make sure to make sure that the
person was really dead.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, that's I never knew that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, you know what they didn't say back then, guys.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I mean you go into a lot of wags. Have
you ever said anything like that? No?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
No, I usually just say I'm so sorry, I'm sorry
for your loss.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And then I hate the line where you don't know,
like say, it's like a coworker, say it's like you're
going at because you know that you're out of respect
for the person that passed, but you might not be
close to anyone else. Say no, but you might have
worked with them or came across with them. And then
you go down that line, the little little line, say sorry,
you don't know. I got to explain to you how
I know the dead guy in the casket.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Okay, you know what I mean, have a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
No, I'm just saying, so I did my I did
his wife and kids who I knew, and then I
got out of there.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I mean, it actually does make sense that you said that,
like the family member said, because you do say fucking
outrageous shit. So it just close along with who you are.
So it's actually not that bad. It'd be worse if
I did it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, yeah, no, but you're like a professional weekegoer.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I've been to a lot of wakes. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Haven't been to many really well for my I mean
I've gone to obviously like my own grandparents that's four right,
then I had like my cousin's mom passed away from
I mean, I've probably been to fifteen ten or fifteen
in my whole life, but always with my parents and
normally a close person, you know what, I would prefer
to go to if I don't know them too well,
(08:52):
as a funeral, then the wake, because you get to
go to the funeral, pay your respect, you to go
through that line.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
See, I don't like the funeral. I don't like the
idea of being put into the ground. It weirds me out.
I don't know, it weirds me out. I think I'm
gonna get cremated, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But see, okay that, but I think getting burned a lot,
not a lot, but getting burned creeps me out more
than getting bettered.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Really, yeah, buried.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They all creep me out because I have a fear
of being buried alive or burned alive, yeah, or drowning.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
At least it'd be quicker if you get burned as
opposed to waking up underground.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I like the idea now where you can become like soil.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, one with the earth. Yeah, that's what they say.
I think I'm gonna get cremated and then then do
something with my ashes. And I always say this, and
Billy always laughs at me. But I do not want
to wake. I do not want a funeral. I want
a party. I want people to come and celebrate my
life and tell stories and if you drink, get wasted
if you want. If not, I mean most of the
(09:51):
people will be in recovery. But do whatever you like.
I want people to just celebrate. I want it to
be a time even if I die tragically. I told
my wife this, I'll come high. You can come high
fucked up, you know what I mean. Just walk into
my party. Let everyone know. Please, that's what that's what
I want.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
My weekend was good. My son's birthday was Sunday. But
before that, on Saturday, Bill Costa stop by the house.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yes, I know, how did that go? You really didn't
document the way I wanted you to. You don't really
ever do a good job.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, it was tough. You know why honestly because there
were so many people in my house. That's why. For
just in general, just well, the neighbor was in the
house and maryl Yeah, how she get in there? She
just squalked over whelchair. No that's Caroline.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh okay, I'm sorry, there's too many Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Caroline, she's in a home. Now wait what Well she's
down the street and yeah, because she needs care.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Wait so she's not going to be around anymore. No. Oh,
I love seeing her in the wheelchair.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, she had a motorized car.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh, I am laughing. I'm so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
She's a sweetheart. Carol came over and then when I
had Abele's friend Liam there, my friend Mike Logan.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Liam. Where does Mike live?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
He lives in havebrol Oh. Okay, So they were all there,
so it was kind of like kids running around. Gemma, Abel,
Liam Logan all running around. So it was just hectic
and it was like a plate date. No, they come
over all the time, you know, they're always around. So anyway,
Bill came in and gave him a nice tour of
the house. He was. He liked it. We showed him
and showed him in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It is a nice house. The only thing you're missing,
and I say this every time, is a second bathroom. Yeah,
it's the only thing you need, which I think am
looking at your house. You need to put it in
your in your room and do a master You have
enough room in your room. We could, especially because you
have the washing and dry hookups you already have.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, that is actually
only the real bad thing.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
But that's the only thing. It's only be an issue
when the kids get older. Yeah, you're gonna have Gemma
in there doing her makeup in her hair, and yeah,
you're trying to get a ship or something, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Okay, there's a visual. But yeah, Bill liked the house.
He was around, He met Nannie. He was talking to you,
remember bore No, No, but she she was weird. She
had to leave. She had an appointment, so she could
only stay like minutes, which is kind of a bomber. Probably,
well Bill, Bill, it was late obviously. Yeah, so he
said he's gonna be there eleven. He showed up at
twelve thirty, and now he had an appointment at one.
(12:08):
So it was like a whole thing. But it was nice.
They came by, and then the party on Sunday with
they was at the Boys and Girls Club. That was nice.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I normally make it. I didn't make it this year.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's okay. It was a complete mayhem, just kids everywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
How was the pizza, That's all I care about?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Not so good?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Wait, you told you had two boxes of shitty pizza.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Fifteen boxes?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
No, but you your stuff? You said you had two boxes?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, I ate about well I had about fourteen slices.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, of shitty pizza.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, it's just there. I eat it.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Where was it from?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It's from I don't want to name it was that bad. Well,
it's okay, but it's not like high quality.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Well they also were making fifteen pies.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's even when we get one, it's because my son.
They get it at my son's school. It's his favorite pizza.
It's the only pizza hilly tee taste.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
He doesn't eat an he.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Doesn't eat anything. Yeah, he won't eat. He's so bad.
He has what's it's a condition? Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Is it the texture of the food. You remember he
used to be a little chubby what, Yeah, like he
wasn't Now he is a literal beanpool.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
He doesn't eat. If there's a bubble on the pizza,
he won't eat it. If there's any kind of marking
or anything. It's They want to put him in occupational
therapy occupy OT. Yeah, so we might try that next.
But honestly, the doctor was like, he might not work.
You ain't too old for that.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
He's too he's only eight, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
But that she said, she's like, I'm not sure if
it will work in his case. That's what she said.
And then I think about because we beat ourselves up
up over it. We give him vitamins right obviously in
the morning, but he's only ever had pizza, chicken, chicken nuggets, fries,
and junk food. That's it. We've tried it all. We've
(13:40):
tried every little thing. Prize is one bite of something green, anything,
he won't do it. But then I think about Billy's son,
Alex cost him. Okay, this is the thing that Alex
has never had anything either.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Okay, he is not unhealthy, but that's embarrassing that he's
thirty three years old. I know that he has to
have have to go And now your dad's Billy Costa, right,
they could go to any restaurant within fifty miles of
here and do anything, and this kid needs to have chicken,
hnt or fries. But he's thirty three.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's not about the nutritional value. It's embarrassing at this point,
I know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But if that's able, well he'll go out of it.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, he might might be the point where he just
it's like bullied into it and not like someone bulling him.
But he'll see other kids around him eating other things
as they get older.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Maybe that's what they said, yeah, and then he'll be like, oh,
you know what I mean, could be I know that
he just doesn't eat all day. He doesn't eat his lunch.
He only comes home and eats dinner, that's it, and
eats He eats velveta mac and cheese every single night. Now,
this is a big issue in my house. My wife,
she takes it very hard. We just think about well,
(14:46):
think about it as a parent. You can't even feed
your child, Like, we have tons of food at the house,
but he won't eat any of it. And now it's
to the point where fuck the nutritional value. This is
about just getting calories into him.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Really, it's just getting calories to him because he gets
mood swings when he doesn't eat.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
So it's any He's actually really gotten tall too the
last years.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah. Yeah, but he had a great, a great birthday.
It was really nice at the Boys and Girls Club
because they have a pool. Yeah, so we have an
hour and pool and then we have this we're right
when you walk in the big run with all the
games is the kitchen and then the gym for the
whole three hours. So you had the gym, the pool,
everything going. My wife did a fantastic job. She always
does really good, really good Fortnite. It was a Fortnight theme.
(15:28):
So now he's eight. Now we move on, Yes, we move.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
On Gema's birthday. I prefer I preferred Gemon's birthday because
it's always a nice pool party it is.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah. So other than that, I didn't do much. I
just hung out and went into the sauna. Ye, really big,
into the sauna.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Come over.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
My dad came. Oh, oh my god, you're shore this okay, hilarious.
So my dad comes on Sunday party, the party. Yeah,

the after the game at like.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Ten, oh, because he's gonna stay and watch the game.
Speaker 1 (16:06):

that you had the bunk beds okay, So in Abele's
room he sleeps on the top bong.
Speaker 2 (16:19):

And then whoever and then like we put him to bed,
we'll lay in the bottom till he falls asleep. So
it was gonna be Able in my my father on
the bottom of Liam on top. Okay, so they go

room to see what's going on. So the next morning
they wake up. The boys get up at like six,
they're running them around the house. My father gets up
around seven. He's a guy, didn't sweep sleep a wink
(16:41):
last night. So when you look they were it was

with him. Like he's very frugal, okay, very frugal. Like
he's he still has his lunch money when he was
like six. So he wants a new iPhone. Okay the
iPhone is. When he gets a new phone, he just
buys it a credit card. So he gets the new

Capital one card that's gonna give him like three hundred
dollars back if he spends so much money. It's a
new card offer. So he gets that. Comes to New
Hampshire where's no tax. Okay, it goes to the Apple store.
Now he has Comcasts as a phone provider. Okay, he

goes there, buys the phone. They try to transfer it
to Comcasts and they're like we we it's gonna be
(18:13):
twenty nine dollars. You would have thought it was the
end of the world. Twenty nine dollars. He would He
refused to play pay it, So he leaves there with
no phone, goes back the next day and then he's like,
screw it out. Pay the twenty nine dollars. But he
bought the phone on the Capitol One card and then
tried to return it. He went back and then because
(18:33):
he had already tried to buy it and they tried
to do something, capitol One put a hold in the card.
So now he can't get the iPhone. So he's all
bummed out. And I used to wait three to ten
days to be able to use the car to get
the phone. Nightmare. Then his car dies in my driveway.
I have to jump his car. Not that old, but
he left the radio on. Oh he's just got more issues.

And I was like, who is this? They're like, w winnie,
And I was like who is this? They don't stop
about the Billy cock thing, so I hang up. Then
they call I'll show you my call up. Then they
(19:24):
call me like four more times. I keep to not
I keep blocking, like you know, not accepting the call,
like ending the call and hold on see look at

they're like, oh, I want Justin's balls like it was.
(19:45):
I was like, what the So I didn't say anything

to stop calling. So I say nothing and they just
start saying they want Justin's balls and Billy's. It was
so fucking weird. No, I don't know it. Yeah, I know,
wasn't it was girls?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Women? Oh wow?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Who could it have been?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
No idea?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Maybe an X or something.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
But why would they do that?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
That's weird. It's not kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And also, can can someone find your number online? I'm
sure I think they can.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, you easily google my number. I've had the same
number since I was fourteen, and I'm not changing it.
I'll just block people.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I don't know what's worse that or this?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
You want?
Speaker 1 (20:24):

I have the master control, so I keep it all
the way up like this.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
They my master control. Can you turn it? Can you
turn show? That's why we get that little feedback sometimes.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Maybe not sure, but anyway, Welcome to the after Show
Tuesday after a long weekend. How about that podcast we
did yesterday? Anybody snuck it in?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I didn't get any DMS sometimes d I know, I
was wondering it did.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah it did. It did go up, So go check
that out if you if you.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Haven't five this week. Yeah, it missed one.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, we did a Friday one. You know. We're staying
on this. We're doing it. We were supposed to have
a special guest today, they got moved to next Tuesday.
That's a man Powers, my buddy Power.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You better be here next Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I like having im on because he's just a maniac.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, I love him.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
He's like out of his mind.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I like wish sometimes that I was like a previous addict,
so I could be an endorser because he's so good.
I love them.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, how it happened is we both got cleaned together.
I went into radio and you knew him when you
got clean? Yeah, oh yeah, we got clean right around
the same time. I think. I think he's like a
year after me. So we went to the same meetings,
we knew the same people. Actually, a really cool story
when he is that you know, he was a bottom
drug addict like myself and when he got clean. What
do you mean bottom drug meaning like live on the streets.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oh, you know, because there's like functioning ones.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yes, functioning is you have a job and the functioning
addicts and alcoholics are the hardest. One's very scary to me.
Well no, it's it's like, well why would I stop.
I'm going to work every day.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
But he also like they hide it. So what my
cousin was a functioning hero atic?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, you have no idea.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
He passed away, but he had like a six figure job, right,
he had a company car, and you know what, he
would have the needles in his company car.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So if they're getting a paycheck every week, they can
afford their habit, then why would they stop. Yeah, So
when he got clean, he has a couple of brothers,
and one of his brothers was so grateful for all
the people, all the men in recovery that helped his
brother and gave him a brother back, that he would
cook dinner once a week at his house for like
sixty men, that just as a thank you. It's crazy.
(02:19):
So anyway, Maddie, when he got clean, he went into
the recovery world. He opened up a sober house. He
named it after this guy, Chelsea Bob, who was a
legend in the recovery community. It's called Chelsea's House. Now
he has like seventeen of them. And then yeah, and
then he opened up Power of Recovery.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So he's seventeen sober house something like that. And then
he has Power Recovery.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And and I don't know if I can say this
or not. I think you can. He's about to open
a detox what's the difference. Uh, Well, the Power of
Recovery is a day program like overnight detoxes overnight and
they give you drugs to get you off of the drugs,
like methadone a box and other things, librium, you know,
stomach stuff. There's a whole protocol. Yeah cause you get
(03:00):
maucious zofran. Oh okay, yeah, so you just go in
and they get you off there. Then they place you
somewhere if you want to go to further treatment. So yeah,
so he's like really big into it, but he's he's
a nut.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know, they probably place you power recovery.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Uh that's an option, that's true. That's true. Or or
they might need a sober house, Chelsea's house. See, he's
got the whole thing down, you know what I mean.
This is a business business. He's a business minded.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Billy and Lisa in the Morning Present Behind the scenes
look into Boston's favorite morning show.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's a little too much information, guys.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The after show podcast, here's Justin and winning.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So yeah, long weekend, How how to do for you? Win?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It was I mean, it was fun, it was boring.
I really did.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Okay, give me your top one to three highlights.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I went to Chili's.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Not a highlight. I love Chili's, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I watched all three Rush hours in a row again again,
like I've done that.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Did you watch severans no, okay, because.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I literally said, someone asked me that, and I said
anything justin asked me to do I'm not doing.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I mean, it's not just me, man, everyone's talking about Severns.
Should give it a shot?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
What should I do? I mean, it was weren't you
so happy that we had a snow day when we
were not working? Because I could not imagine having to
get my ass up out of bed yesterday?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It was nice.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I went to awake, Yeah, I talked about that. Can
we talk about that real quick?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
What your uncomfortable moment? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So I went to awake and it was for a
family friend, my sister's friend's dad. Really nice guy. But
I used to babysit for them when I was in
middle school in high school. So we're talking like he
was my first employer. Back then I was making like
seven dollars an hour babysitting. So we're talking like early,
like two thousand and five, six seven, whatever. So they've
(04:51):
choose kids.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So you were in middle school in two thousand and.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Five, Yeah, well we were. Yeah, I was in seventh grade,
sixth grade, seventh grade. But back then, I feel like
you babysat sooner I started babysating like twelve and thirteen,
like anyways, so I babysat for them for date nights whatever.
Really nice couple, really nice guy, really nice family. So
we're going.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So he passes away natural causes.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
No, he was only sixty. He had some first heat
like his whole life. He had a kidney issue, like
he had got two kidney transplants, but because of the medicine,
because of the kidney transplants actually fucked up his liver,
so then he had liver issues and then you get
a stroke.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Poor guy.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, really but really really nice guy. So of course
I wanted to go, but my mom and my sister
my dad were going in a different time, and I
was wiy of other things going on. I'll go alone,
which honestly was a big step for me. I hate wakes.
I don't know anyone that really likes wakes.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They're the worst.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
But going alone, this is my first time, I think,
going to a week alone. So I'm in line. Whatever,
it's an hour wait, okay, get up there, you.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Know hour wait.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah. He was a really nice wow.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah he was loved.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah he was so I you know, I nail down,
I pray it at the casket, and I get up
and I give his wife a hug, and I said
how are you? Like, yeah, what do you mean? How
are you here with his her fucking husband is dead
in the casket next to you? Fuck no, three feet away?
How are you? She's not fucking good.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Right now, Whinnie, you're supposed to say?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It was it was so awkward, but she's like she's like,
oh me and Bill would always say, oh, when do
you say today? On the radio, like they would listen
like they're so sweet. Then I gave his daughter a hug.
Then his son, who I have not seen in years
is now like twenty four to twenty five. He's a teacher.
He is he's tall with like a beard and long hair,
and I like barely recognize the kid. And he's like,
thanks for babysitting me. It was like so odd. I
(06:43):
didn't know what to say. I'm like, I'm so sorry,
Like what do you say? And then I cut out
the line because I was not going on the rest
of that fucking line how are you? I know, I
don't want to guys.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I wasn't even like the how are you doing? Because
your husband's dead? It's like, how you doing how you been, Like,
you know, I haven't seen you in a while.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, well it's it's an awkward I know what you mean,
you don't know what to say?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And by the way, I learned recently that the reason
they have wakes. I might be wrong on this, I'm
gonna do my best is because this is morbid is
in Back in the days, I think it was the
Jewish people think Jewish, they started to realize that they
weren't really dead, and they were burying people in the
coffin and they were waking up, and how they found
(07:23):
out were scratch marks? What in the coffin? So they
someone can correct me on this, they started to have wakes,
get it to make sure to make sure that the
person was really dead.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, that's I never knew that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, you know what they didn't say back then, guys.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I mean you go into a lot of wags. Have
you ever said anything like that? No?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
No, I usually just say I'm so sorry, I'm sorry
for your loss.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And then I hate the line where you don't know,
like say, it's like a coworker, say it's like you're
going at because you know that you're out of respect
for the person that passed, but you might not be
close to anyone else. Say no, but you might have
worked with them or came across with them. And then
you go down that line, the little little line, say sorry,
you don't know. I got to explain to you how
I know the dead guy in the casket.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Okay, you know what I mean, have a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
No, I'm just saying, so I did my I did
his wife and kids who I knew, and then I
got out of there.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I mean, it actually does make sense that you said that,
like the family member said, because you do say fucking
outrageous shit. So it just close along with who you are.
So it's actually not that bad. It'd be worse if
I did it.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, yeah, no, but you're like a professional weekegoer.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I've been to a lot of wakes. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Haven't been to many really well for my I mean
I've gone to obviously like my own grandparents that's four right,
then I had like my cousin's mom passed away from
I mean, I've probably been to fifteen ten or fifteen
in my whole life, but always with my parents and
normally a close person, you know what, I would prefer
to go to if I don't know them too well,
(08:52):
as a funeral, then the wake, because you get to
go to the funeral, pay your respect, you to go
through that line.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
See, I don't like the funeral. I don't like the
idea of being put into the ground. It weirds me out.
I don't know, it weirds me out. I think I'm
gonna get cremated, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But see, okay that, but I think getting burned a lot,
not a lot, but getting burned creeps me out more
than getting bettered.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Really, yeah, buried.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They all creep me out because I have a fear
of being buried alive or burned alive, yeah, or drowning.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
At least it'd be quicker if you get burned as
opposed to waking up underground.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I like the idea now where you can become like soil.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, one with the earth. Yeah, that's what they say.
I think I'm gonna get cremated and then then do
something with my ashes. And I always say this, and
Billy always laughs at me. But I do not want
to wake. I do not want a funeral. I want
a party. I want people to come and celebrate my
life and tell stories and if you drink, get wasted
if you want. If not, I mean most of the
(09:51):
people will be in recovery. But do whatever you like.
I want people to just celebrate. I want it to
be a time even if I die tragically. I told
my wife this, I'll come high. You can come high
fucked up, you know what I mean. Just walk into
my party. Let everyone know. Please, that's what that's what
I want.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
My weekend was good. My son's birthday was Sunday. But
before that, on Saturday, Bill Costa stop by the house.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yes, I know, how did that go? You really didn't
document the way I wanted you to. You don't really
ever do a good job.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, it was tough. You know why honestly because there
were so many people in my house. That's why. For
just in general, just well, the neighbor was in the
house and maryl Yeah, how she get in there? She
just squalked over whelchair. No that's Caroline.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh okay, I'm sorry, there's too many Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Caroline, she's in a home. Now wait what Well she's
down the street and yeah, because she needs care.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Wait so she's not going to be around anymore. No. Oh,
I love seeing her in the wheelchair.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, she had a motorized car.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh, I am laughing. I'm so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
She's a sweetheart. Carol came over and then when I
had Abele's friend Liam there, my friend Mike Logan.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Liam. Where does Mike live?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
He lives in havebrol Oh. Okay, So they were all there,
so it was kind of like kids running around. Gemma, Abel,
Liam Logan all running around. So it was just hectic
and it was like a plate date. No, they come
over all the time, you know, they're always around. So anyway,
Bill came in and gave him a nice tour of
the house. He was. He liked it. We showed him
and showed him in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It is a nice house. The only thing you're missing,
and I say this every time, is a second bathroom. Yeah,
it's the only thing you need, which I think am
looking at your house. You need to put it in
your in your room and do a master You have
enough room in your room. We could, especially because you
have the washing and dry hookups you already have.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, that is actually
only the real bad thing.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
But that's the only thing. It's only be an issue
when the kids get older. Yeah, you're gonna have Gemma
in there doing her makeup in her hair, and yeah,
you're trying to get a ship or something, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Okay, there's a visual. But yeah, Bill liked the house.
He was around, He met Nannie. He was talking to you,
remember bore No, No, but she she was weird. She
had to leave. She had an appointment, so she could
only stay like minutes, which is kind of a bomber. Probably,
well Bill, Bill, it was late obviously. Yeah, so he
said he's gonna be there eleven. He showed up at
twelve thirty, and now he had an appointment at one.
(12:08):
So it was like a whole thing. But it was nice.
They came by, and then the party on Sunday with
they was at the Boys and Girls Club. That was nice.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I normally make it. I didn't make it this year.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's okay. It was a complete mayhem, just kids everywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
How was the pizza, That's all I care about?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Not so good?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Wait, you told you had two boxes of shitty pizza.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Fifteen boxes?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
No, but you your stuff? You said you had two boxes?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, I ate about well I had about fourteen slices.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, of shitty pizza.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, it's just there. I eat it.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Where was it from?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It's from I don't want to name it was that bad. Well,
it's okay, but it's not like high quality.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Well they also were making fifteen pies.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's even when we get one, it's because my son.
They get it at my son's school. It's his favorite pizza.
It's the only pizza hilly tee taste.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
He doesn't eat an he.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Doesn't eat anything. Yeah, he won't eat. He's so bad.
He has what's it's a condition? Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Is it the texture of the food. You remember he
used to be a little chubby what, Yeah, like he
wasn't Now he is a literal beanpool.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
He doesn't eat. If there's a bubble on the pizza,
he won't eat it. If there's any kind of marking
or anything. It's They want to put him in occupational
therapy occupy OT. Yeah, so we might try that next.
But honestly, the doctor was like, he might not work.
You ain't too old for that.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
He's too he's only eight, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
But that she said, she's like, I'm not sure if
it will work in his case. That's what she said.
And then I think about because we beat ourselves up
up over it. We give him vitamins right obviously in
the morning, but he's only ever had pizza, chicken, chicken nuggets, fries,
and junk food. That's it. We've tried it all. We've
(13:40):
tried every little thing. Prize is one bite of something green, anything,
he won't do it. But then I think about Billy's son,
Alex cost him. Okay, this is the thing that Alex
has never had anything either.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Okay, he is not unhealthy, but that's embarrassing that he's
thirty three years old. I know that he has to
have have to go And now your dad's Billy Costa, right,
they could go to any restaurant within fifty miles of
here and do anything, and this kid needs to have chicken,
hnt or fries. But he's thirty three.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's not about the nutritional value. It's embarrassing at this point,
I know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But if that's able, well he'll go out of it.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, he might might be the point where he just
it's like bullied into it and not like someone bulling him.
But he'll see other kids around him eating other things
as they get older.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Maybe that's what they said, yeah, and then he'll be like, oh,
you know what I mean, could be I know that
he just doesn't eat all day. He doesn't eat his lunch.
He only comes home and eats dinner, that's it, and
eats He eats velveta mac and cheese every single night. Now,
this is a big issue in my house. My wife,
she takes it very hard. We just think about well,
(14:46):
think about it as a parent. You can't even feed
your child, Like, we have tons of food at the house,
but he won't eat any of it. And now it's
to the point where fuck the nutritional value. This is
about just getting calories into him.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Really, it's just getting calories to him because he gets
mood swings when he doesn't eat.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
So it's any He's actually really gotten tall too the
last years.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah. Yeah, but he had a great, a great birthday.
It was really nice at the Boys and Girls Club
because they have a pool. Yeah, so we have an
hour and pool and then we have this we're right
when you walk in the big run with all the
games is the kitchen and then the gym for the
whole three hours. So you had the gym, the pool,
everything going. My wife did a fantastic job. She always
does really good, really good Fortnite. It was a Fortnight theme.
(15:28):
So now he's eight. Now we move on, Yes, we move.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
On Gema's birthday. I prefer I preferred Gemon's birthday because
it's always a nice pool party it is.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah. So other than that, I didn't do much. I
just hung out and went into the sauna. Ye, really big,
into the sauna.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Come over.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
My dad came. Oh, oh my god, you're shore this okay, hilarious.
So my dad comes on Sunday party, the party. Yeah,
he comes on Sundays anyway, comes to the party, snowstorms coming,
so Sunday night. So my wife's like telling me needs
to sleep over. We don't want him driving home after
the after the game at like.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Ten, oh, because he's gonna stay and watch the game.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah. So the game ended at like nine thirty ten.
So he says, okay, So Liam is sleeping over to
Oh so where'd he sleep? So no, no, no, so
that you had the bunk beds okay, So in Abele's
room he sleeps on the top bong.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And then whoever and then like we put him to bed,
we'll lay in the bottom till he falls asleep. So
it was gonna be Able in my my father on
the bottom of Liam on top. Okay, so they go
in there. Jen sneaks a camera in the in the
room to see what's going on. So the next morning
they wake up. The boys get up at like six,
they're running them around the house. My father gets up
around seven. He's a guy, didn't sweep sleep a wink
(16:41):
last night. So when you look they were it was
musical beds. So Able was up, then he was down,
then he came up and it ended up being Liam
next to my father, which is weird, and Able on
top and then he just noah, but look at this
the other picture. Look at him, he's just he's all
(17:01):
cuddled up in the blanket, like, what is going on
with my life? Yeah, he's so miserable, so crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Okay, now I see Liam off the top. Oh my god,
that's the have the video or no, there's no video.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I think she send it to I think she sent

iPhone is. When he gets a new phone, he just
buys it a credit card. So he gets the new

dollars back if he spends so much money. It's a
new card offer. So he gets that. Comes to New

end of the world. Twenty nine dollars. He would He
refused to play pay it, So he leaves there with

screw it out. Pay the twenty nine dollars. But he
bought the phone on the Capitol One card and then
tried to return it. He went back and then because

to do something, capitol One put a hold in the card.
