Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Daddy and the jam In Morning Show with DJ four
and it's Santy Good morning, Bustin's.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Number one for hip hop jam In ninety four or five. Hi, everybody,
good morning.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
I take pride in three things you need to know.
I take pride in the news. And this is where
we usually do our first set of the news.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Today.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
We'll do it at seven ten, eight ten, and nine ten,
and not right now because I am completely thrown off
my schedule. I called Santi at four thirty this morning,
so I always leave Marshfield at the latest by four thirty.
I get in here earlier that I need to for sure.
But like I said, I take pride in the news.
I like to I look at all the stories and

(00:44):
stuff that I'm going to talk about the night before,
but I like to get in here in the morning
and get to the point where I feel so comfortable
with the stories and when I'm talking about that, I
can look at.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
You while I deliver, which is a difference because a
lot of people who just read them and you can
hear it. You and Jesta and you de liver and
it sounds so amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
That's why, Yeah, I really I want to make sure
at least the things that I'm reporting to you. Even
if they're a rumor, I know exactly what the rumor is,
but they're who they're talking about all the things. So anyways,
I get here, I do my prep, and you know,
then Santi gets here, we chuld chat about we're going
to talk about AJ's always in here. I had the

(01:22):
weirdest feeling last night going to bed because my mom
has been helping out because Helen is in Italy. So
and by the way, Helen's boyfriend, Danny, I want to
date Danny like I want. I want Helen and Danny
to break up, me and the fireman to break up

(01:43):
in Danny to be my sugar daddy, because Danny, like
every other day, she's like Ashaw, Danny's taking me to Nashville,
ash Dandy's taking me to Aruba. Ash Danny's taking me
to Italy. Danny needs to take me somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well maybe the fireman at some point when.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Okay, So anyways, Helen is she's gone, she's in Italy.
My mom's been helping us out because obviously the fireman
works twenty four. So it's this weird thing where the
day that the fireman goes to work. We need somebody
at the house at the latest five thirty the next morning,
because he's you know, it's a twenty four and he's
already gone. Someone has to be at the house by

(02:20):
four thirty so that I can leave for work. My
mom when I got home yesterday from work after the gym,
we had our exchange and she's like, I really don't
feel well, like I'm going to go home and sleep.
I said, okay. She's like, you know, I just I
don't know, I just need rest. I said, go rest.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'll see you tomorrow morning at four thirty.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
So hours go by, and I was so excited because
I ended up going to pick up the turkey at
Gerard's whichever, you know, I was worried about. I thought
it was gonna be the crazy you know this line.
So I get a text with my neighbor. She's like, ash,
there's no line, go get your turkey. So I call
my mother multiple times on the way to get the turkey,
and she's not answering. Now it has been like six
hours since I saw her.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
So the assumption is that she's just home sleeping, right because.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
She's well exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
So I end up putting the girls down to bed.
I get into bed around eight thirty. Finally, Terry, my
mother calls me and she's like, believe it or not,
I just woke up, Like I went to bed at
twelve thirty pm, and now I'm just waking up at
eight thirty.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
And I was like, well, I hope you can get
back to sleep because you have an early morning.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
And she's like, no, I know, I'm gonna watch I'm
gonna watch an episode of General Hospital.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I'm so confident. I'm gonna watch my episode of General Hospital.
And then I'm gonna go to bed. See what Sunny's doing.
And then I'm go to bed and she we have
our convo. We hang up. She texts me see you
at four thirty. I called you at.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Four thirty one because when she wasn't at my house
by four fifteen, because moms they're always a little early usually,
And I called you at four thirty one, and I'm like,
she's not here, and I had a really bad feeling
that she was not going to be there by four thirty,
four thirty five or forty five, five, five ten, Like

(04:06):
I just I just had the worst feeling.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
So I gave you the heads up. We kind of
made a plan.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
I then texted the fireman and I'm like, listen, if
she's not here by five fifteen, I'm gonna wake the
girls and I'm bringing the girls to the studio, and
then you will have to leave the firehouse when you
get off and come get the girls from the studio.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I was gonna have one on the boob and the
other one on your lap because I can't. It was
just gonna be what it was.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
That would have been so much fun.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Really, it would have been so hectic in here. Anyways.
I I had.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Called my mother like twenty five times probably in total,
and then something in my brain was like, let me
FaceTime her because I don't know if your guys moms
do this, but Terry's always carrying around her.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
iPad that's the size of her whole body.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
And I thought maybe if I facetimed, the iPad will ring.
I don't know, and I don't know if that's what
did it in the end, but she ends up answering
like super frantic.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
She's like, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
She tells me that her alarm on her phone was
showing that it was going off, but the volume was
down she's definitely getting hard of hearing in her older age,
and so she gets in the car. She's luckily she's
only ten minutes from my house. But I just walked
into this studio, Like when I just sat down to
say good morning to you guys, I had just walked
into the studio.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I think it's the latest you've ever gotten here, right.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
I had anxiety the entire way. My heart was beating
through my chest. I don't, I just don't. I don't
like to not be on my usual routine. It throws
me off. So even though I kind of had an
idea of some of the stories that I was gonna do,
I wasn't comfortable doing the news because I just I
need a second to process, to put my bag down
and breathe.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like working here, it's tough because whenever you're sick, you
don't feel well, people can hear it. If you're late,
people can hear it. If you're just off, people can
hear it. Like you I mean, it's all like your
average job.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
And I'm struggling with this thing because I'm I was
steaming driving here, like steaming Thanksgiving tomorrow. Okay, So I'm
trying to be better she's helping us out and I
understand that. And she called me, you know, on my
way here, and she was obviously super apologetic, and she
asked if I was maybe going to get fired, and

(06:11):
I wanted so badly.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
To be like maybe.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Now, mind you, I know, noboddy in this building is
listening to our show because it's Turkey Toss today, so
none of our bosses are listening, so nobody would have
known that I was actually well, it wasn't technically not
technically wasn't late.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
But I think for people around here, like this type
of stuff happens from time to time. I saw, like
you make it a pattern, and.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
It's the last thing I would want. I just like, again,
my commute's not fifteen minutes anymore. Yeah, So not only
knowing that she was late, but then that I had
a good drive ahead of me, I didn't like it
at all.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I don't like that feeling. I don't like being late.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
And at the very least, if that happens again, you
could do the first break from the phone.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
True.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Do you know who used to do that? Maddy used
to do it all the time because he would just
run late, so he would do the first break from
the phone, and you know, like it was just another day.
Nobody said a word.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Imagine, yeah, yeah, So I listen, this is there's two.
I'm fighting an internal battle right now because I'm so
mad at her, but like I need her to cook tomorrow,
and I know if I push this issue, she'll be
like I just won't even come.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I'm actually shocked. She doesn't have you on bypass or
whatever you call it, super loud. That's what I have
you on whenever you like ring my phone super loud.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I do you ever just need to talk to Joanne
to like say things out loud so that she can
listen and then you can kind of like figure things
out in your brain.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Sometimes I need that with the fireman.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
But he's at the firehouse, but I know that he
has me an emergency bypass, so I called him. He
immediately sends it to voicemail because he's in the bunk
room and he's like, what, don't even say it is?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
She not there?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
And he knew right away, and so him and I
are game planning. He goes our neighbor. You know, when
it's dark in the houses, you can kind of see
like flashing lights and stuff. He's like is Bill up,
You will need a text Bill and ask them to
come sit in the living room while the girls sleep.
I'm like, yeah, out of your mind.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
You have anybody besides Bill who's in the area that
could come by.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
That was the game we were playing today. Who is
in Marshfield that would come sit in the living room?
But who would be up at that hour? And like,
you know what I mean, it's it's a.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Weird never no, especially what I mean, I don't know
if you guys, if the kids in Marshield have school,
but if they have a half day today, yeah, the
parents might actually be up like you.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
And then the tough thing is like it's not as
if anybody has to come and do anything. They just
have to sit on the couch because the girls don't
get up until seven.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
So but either way, we made it work. We're here.
I'm just trying to explain to everybody why it is
that the news isn't happening at this time.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
So that's that it's one random day.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
So like I need that woman to make the green
Bean castrole, so I'm gonna

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Do at some point, you have no idea
