Speaker 1 (00:03):
And the jam In Morning Show with d J four
and it's Saunty.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Morning Bustin's number one for hip hop jam In ninety
four or five. Hi, everybody, good morning. I got a
d M. And the guy goes, ain't no way. I
just heard you say that Santi and his wife are
celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Is not what? Then?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well, I think for some of the things you have
admitted on this show, people are mind blown, you know.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Like I think it's more so the fact that I
meant them on the air because I minting to stuff
that everybody does.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I listen one hundred percent. Not every man is going
to be out here talking about like I take by
Agar to have sex and I have an OnlyFans addiction
with Grandma Porn.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I used to. That's not anymore. You can't say that.
That was back in the day. Everybody was into that movie.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
He really had that Michelle woman that was sixty two.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
He was like, hello, Mishia, elderly, the middle age. It's
a different thing. So yeah, but yeah, I mean that's
all open. But that's also why she doesn't listen because
she heard a lot of stuff like this in the
past and it's caused like fights in our marriage, so
now she just takes the whole fight out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Twenty years is crazy, though. Can you remember like your
first date. I think it was at like GIGII Fridays, right.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
First date, we went to Friday's up in Danvers, So
we went to Fridays. She had the chicken Caesar and
I had some pasta dish. And then after that we
went to a comedy show in Boston. So it was
like a date.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
But you tell the story that when you were there
you really actually were like I kind of want to marry.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
This chick, Yeah, because it was different than anything I've
ever dated before. Like now this girl was into like
her career and had like you know, gold vision and
like all that stuff. Was talking about buying a house.
I'm like, wait, buying a house, Like what are you
talking about? That was any like even in my mindset,
and I think, like that's what I liked about her.
And you guys were how old won the first date?
On the first date, we were twenty we got married,
I was still twenty four. I turned twenty five on

(01:51):
my honeymoon, which by the way, was way too young,
way too young. To get married, to get married. Yeah,
I guess I didn't understand the responsibility of the whole thing.
I still spent like a lot of the first parts
of our marriage still going out and hosting and partying
and all that stuff without realizing how to be honestband.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
And they used to get in fights, like in the
beginning of their marriage, because Joanne would be mad that
he just would he would leave work at ten, like
he was doing morning radio show, and he would go
home at ten and he would get in his like
PJ pants and get in his bed and turn all
the lights out and fly a plane remember I'm not.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
This is not a joke, from Boston to California, and
that would take like six hours. And he would do
nothing but eat and lay in that bed. And she
would catch him and be like, I know that's what
you're doing, and he'd say, no, it's not, and she'd go,
I can see that all the lights are off at
the house and you have the curtains clothes because you
wanted to bet one you're dark on the plane.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
That was really bad, Like I would say, year two
to four of like the marriage was really bad. And
I think like we only didn't get divorced, because I
feel like, like none of us wanted to be divorced
at the same time.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
And that has stuck out with me because you've said
that a couple of times that like you, at one
point you wanted a divorce, she didn't, and she fought.
At a different time, she want a divorce, you didn't,
and you fought. Had you both wanted at the same time,
your whole trajectory of your life could be different.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Absolutely, And we were very young, so at that point
the responsibility in the entire thing wasn't as like what
it has to be. We would have been like, yeah,
let's get divorced. It's fine, it's just easy. Twenty years
in that's not even like an option. So when we
both have issues, the communication is on point, and then
we don't try to ever like one up each other
or like win certain fights. We both try to understand
where each other's coming from. And that has changed so

(03:29):
like so much, But that comes with twenty years of marriage.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Did you ever think at TGI Fridays over at Chicken
Caesar salad you'd be talking about going to Mexico to
celebrate twenty years.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
No, I thought that there was a possibility. But I
knew pretty sure, like like pretty fast, that she was
the one.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Easily he got her that ring when they were twenty something.
Still hasn't upgraded it. Keep your Mexican trip, sir.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
There's a better story to that. So I definanced the
entire thing. She ended up paying it off with her
own money. What. Yeah, Because I first, when we first
got married, I was I was working here basically one
step out like out of being like an intern. So
I was making and I'll be honest with you, two
hundred dollars a month. That was that was no, sorry,
two hundred dollars a week. But and then I was

(04:13):
making bonuses on top of that with hosting events. But
that wasn't consistent. Yes, but then she ended up having
like a really good job and she was paying for everything,
and then she ended up paying off paying off the ring.
So yeah, but she hasn't gotten the ring. Haven't is
coming coming?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Like, imagine a ring upgrade from you, How amazing that
would be.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I mean, I would love to. I would go do
it today, but she just needs to tell me when
specifically she wants and I'll go buy it. And again,
I'm not good at surprising her stuff like that. And
she's also where we we have the relationship where I
want this, I go by she has that, but like,
tell me, give me some direction and like I'll figure
it out. What's the secret to what? Twenty years like
understanding communication and not trying to win anything. You have

(05:00):
to understand what point of view they are coming from.
That has to be it. It's beautiful and viagrass and
all day keep the spark alive with a small blue
pill
