Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, a late podcast today. I can't believe it.
(00:02):
It is eleven thirty and the after show is going on.
Hi everybody, it is Justin and producer Riley is here too,
working hard. Hi Riley, Hi, what's going on? Sorry to
pull you from your dungeon of work in there.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh it's okay, anything for a break.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I just you know, I could have done a podcast
by myself. Sometimes I do that. I come in and
talk and then when I'm done, I think to myself,
what did I just say?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, that's like what I do when I leave my
friends a voice note about things like instead of texting,
and I'll ramble for five minutes and be like, anyways,
sorry about that. You do that all the time.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Did you see Justin Bieber's his complaint this weekend? You
missed that it was about he was he was He
put a post up where he was yelling at Apple
because he doesn't like the structure of the design of
the microphone in the textbox that you text okay, because
when you hit it accidentally, it like messes up when
(00:57):
you're typing and then you type the microphone, it like
up the flow.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So he was like yelling at Apple through a post.
I don't know what the hell's going on.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
With Bieber, but well, when you used to be before
the update, you used to be able to hold where
the microphone is down and then you could leave a
voice note. Now you can't do that. Now you have
to go into the plus and then voice note. It's
kind of annoying.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So he must not have the new feature, I mean
the new update. Right.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Because that actually doesn't happen anymore. I'm pressing. Oh there
it is that just popped up.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, I think I knew what he meant where that
It kind of does like serie or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, it stops your texting.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that is annoying.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So I don't think I ever hit that, Like if
I'm in the middle of texting, I'm not like hitting
up there.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, I don't. Well, he's probably high as a kite.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well could be that could be that he's trying to
like sing and he's just like not snoworking.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Anyway, Good weekend. The reason it's so late today is
Riley and I are working hard on the year end stuff. Right.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, we did start recording the top twenty five moments
of twenty five. That's gonna be fun. That's going to
a special. It's going to run a couple of times
during the time that we're off. So that's been cool
reliving some of the big moments, like you know, Tom
Brady Parish from Love on the Spectrum, even just.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Like some of the fun topic times that we've done
that we're like, I forgot that we did that.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, like bad first dates, those are always good. So
you know, it's gonna be a good thing to kind
of catch up on as we say goodbye to twenty
twenty five and on to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Crazy. Ye I hate that.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
It is pretty crazy. Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Imagine Oh Billy was talking about that. He's like, where
did December go?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I know?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I like, we have a less than a week to
jingle Ball.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I know, hello jingle Ball is this weekend? Are you going?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yes? Okay, what kind of question is that?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, because we yes, we want you to go, but
we have to have the meeting on Thursday where they're
going to like decide who knows what. Yeah, that's going to.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Be sure that they're going to be like and you
are not going, Yeah, I'm be like.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
What, Well, I'll do my best to make sure that
you there. Yeah, we need you there because we're short.
So it's only Billy, Lisa and I when he's not
gonna be there obviously, so you know, if there's things
that need to get done, Billy has a lot of
charities and people that are you know. Yeah, so you
have to like run around and do those things.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah. Well in last year I was there literally just
doing that. But I want to get the liners.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh yeah, so you should say that. Yeah, so the
Liners is backstage. When the artists come back, before they
are interviewed by Billy, they have to read a piece
of paper that says like, hey, what's up as Ed Sharon,
you're listening to Kiss one to eight, you know, yeah,
and oh you're hanging with Billy Costas. You have to
kind of record those, right, and then Billy and I
are doing a live countdown, which is really I was
(03:42):
explaining it to my dad yesterday. He was at my house.
Nowhere else does this and I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, sorry, go ahead, No, I meant like, well, we're
like the.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Best, No, I know, it's just no other jingle ball
does that, you know. So basically Billy. So we have
the countdown from seven to ten live from backstage, secrets out.
It's not live, it's made the sound live.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's live ish.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yes, So Billy does interviews. I'm recording the interviews, okay.
So I prep Billy Riley, and I write up all
these sheets of information, so say Ed Sharon, some things
that he wants to talk about, you know, like his
Netflix dog, his new album Boston, things like that. So Billy,
who's like a master interviewer, well, look at the sheet
and then he'll just walk up there and he'll interview
(04:27):
Ed Sharon. So say it's a five minute interview. I'm
recording it and I'm listening to the questions and I'm like, okay,
I want to use that. I want to use that
when he's not and I'm making markers. And then as
soon as they're done, I edit it right there backstage,
and then I chop it into pieces, and then when
Billy's done, he comes over and then we insert it
into the countdown, So meaning Billy will record an intro like, hey,
what's up. We're backstage live at jingle Ball right now.
(04:49):
We're at number number sixteen, which is Ed Sharon, who
is standing with me right now or who I just
talked to a couple of minutes ago and we talked
about his Netflix doc and how it all came together.
Boom insert yeah, and then he gives me a close
all right, we'll have more with that, Sharon. Backstage at
jingle Ball twenty twenty five. I take that and then
I send it over the clouds to the radio station
(05:12):
where somebody is here to put it into the system
and play on the radio. Yes, so we do that
for literally hours, That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So it's fun to be there, but it's a lot
of work.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Well, it's fun for me too, who like really likes
watching you produce because you're like you're the best. Yeah,
say not to like get you a big head or whatever. Sorry,
nobody can see it, but it's literally getting bigger by
the second. But I've been backstage at jingle Ball with
you before, watching what you do. And I've also been
(05:44):
on the other side where I've been here in the
studio for Kiss concert two years ago, and it's really
interesting to like see you do it, but also to
be on this side, like receiving it and then putting
it in to the countdown. When you say it's like
not live, it's like it has like a delay of
like five minutes. Like the turnover that you have is
like actually insane.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah. Yeah, like I'm producing it, I'm editing it, and
then I'm sending it and she's putting it right on.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The radio, which makes it even funnier when like people
are probably like, oh my god, like you guys have
gone to so many like jingle Balls. You see so
many artists who's like and it's like we don't even
really get to see some of them on stage.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, not on stage. No, usually at the end we'll see.
It really sucks, like I want to see obviously Olivia Dean,
I want to see man I need and then they
do have a TV back there though.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, but it's like not the same. No, It's like
it's not like you're like at a concert. I want
to see Ed and Olivia. Yeah, so I'm like gonna
go out of my way to like try to get
down there.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Definitely you will see because he's likely closing the.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Show because we're gonna be done.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Is Yeah, so you'll watch that. I remember two years ago,
Sizza was the headliner and she did New interviews. She
came last minute, and so we're on stage waiting to
introduce her. She was the last act, and then she
came up on stage with her team and she was
standing right next to us, and so we didn't talk
to her. She's just sitting there and I'm looking at her,
(07:03):
and she has her phone on her iPhone and she's
reading comments on her Instagram and just scrolling. So if
you ever think that, you know, do celebrities read comments
and ship?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
They do?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
They do?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, I don't think I could be a celebrity for
that reason.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Are you driving with me, by the way or no?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's I wasn't planning on it, but because last year
I had to be there like super early, like earlier
than you. Oh right, So I was just going to
wait to see what was going on.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You probably don't want to because you're gonna make me leave.
I'm gonna leave like before Ed's over.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, I figured you would do that. Well, my mom
is going, oh yeah, well and one of my friends.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, then you can come with me. Oh no, because
so I'm coming to the radio station like Matt Early.
Oh yeah, that's the thing. Oh yeah, you can't.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'd have to meet you here and then have somebody
drop me back.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah okay, yeah, because I come here at like eight am.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, I work on all the final bios for all
the artists, and then I work on like a bunch
of year end stuff, which, by the way, turns the
transition the end of the year stuff, you know, like
Talkbacker of the Year. I'm really torn on that one.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I know, it's like between like three people.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, so you got you got Sarah from Maine, Kim. Yeah,
Sarah from Maine did the Jordan Hudson thing. She's in
the running because obviously she's a regular talkbacker and she's
funny and all that. Well, she went above and beyond.
She did more than any other talkbacker, so that puts
her up front.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And they already give her a hoodie. Sorry, yes, okay,
so what is she going to win? Just like the title?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh no, are we giving a hoodie again? I just
assume maybe yeah, no, We'll give her a prize, okay, Aka,
I'll make Billy.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Buy something something like a gift card, you know, yeah,
that'd be nice. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And then Kim. You know, Kim's really funny.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, we love Ki cracks her talkback today was actually.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
She's really fun yeah, and then uh, and then the
gay dude loves Billy.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, Billy's lover.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, Billy's lover. Although do you know the story with
that that current that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Person, like, doesn't he work somewhere that like and nobody
knows he does that. It's like obviously a fake voice.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yes, he works with my wife. Oh yeah, I don't
even I shouldn't even be saying this in case people listen.
But he works with my wife and he's like a
straight up, like normal dude. Yeah yeah, so I don't know. Yeah,
he he knows that my wife knows who he is,
but no one talks to him about it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah okay, yeah, yeah, this is connecting in my brain now.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And they have like group chats where they talk about it.
They love it. It's hilarious. Yeah, but they think it's
so funny that he has this alter ego, right that
they don't talk about you know.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, he's literally handah Montana.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah. So for example, at work, he's a good worker
and he's very like serious, yeah, you know, he doesn't
really joke around. So when it was discovered that he
was leaving these talkbacks as Billy's gay lover. Nobody could
believe it. Yeah, like nobody. So that's so he's in
the running too. So I'm gonna have to decide there's
gonna be some upset people.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Now, Well, yeah, who can I blame.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It on you?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
No, because everything that falls on me, that's the that's
the the executive producer curse.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I know. Let's just say that Billy chose.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
That could be good. Yeah, because Billy was gonna get
mad at him. Well, also, he doesn't read any comments.
He doesn't exactly watch anything like legit knows nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I like them whenever he says he's like I am
I gonna get canceled for this, dude, you could get
canceled and you wouldn't even know.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
He wouldn't even know. Like obviously there was like a
lot of outrage when when he was laid off, and
like there was some a lot of comments and things
like that. Billy had no idea yet.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't even know if he does. He follow kis
one way.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He knows nothing. He lives the most care free life.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I like. Sorry, I like when he's like everybody DM
me or like whatever, like he's like giving stuff away
or whatever, and then he's like, how do I do that?
Like behind the scenes, he's like, Okay, Riley, I need
you to do this. I'm like, you just need to
like go through, like just go through your phone. It's like,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
The best with Billy is that he doesn't. So I
help him with a lot of stuff, right, especially if
you're going up everybody field, Oh yeah, you going up
and getting comfy. So I help him with all his
like you know, online stuff, and so there are times
when I help him with his banking. Yeah, so you know,
I'll be in there like helping him move money or whatever.
(11:23):
And you can imagine dollar amounts just infinity. Yeah, a
lot of zero's in commas, you know. And listen, Billy's
been working for fucking forty five years, like working his
he's the hardest working right now. So he makes a
good living. But every time I do it, I just
think to myself, like he has no idea, right, like
this would be a gold mine for someone like the
(11:44):
old me.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Or the guy that scammed you.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Or the guy that scammed me. No, Like he's Billy,
so oh he's so innocent but also dumb. I mean, hold,
I call hi dumb. I gave all my money away
to a scammer, but I come to win there and
just transfer money out.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh you have no idea, You have no idea?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
How about this one? His venmo, which he shares with
his wife. I believe one time he was like, oh,
can you can you venmo this person? I open up there, like,
you know, a few grand in there. I could just
send myself five hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
He would never In fact, he even if he did notice,
he'd probably be like that makes sense. Yeah, Like he
probably wouldn't even know. He'd probably be like, hey, did
I send you this money? And you'd be like yeah,
and he'd be like, okay, yeah, you're right, you deserve it.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Were you in here this morning when he was talking
about I don't think you are when he was talking
about the homeless people on the street. Okay, So he
comes in and he's like, yeah, he goes, I have
this new like way of thinking of people that you
know are homeless in there at the stop lights, you know,
with the signs and everything. Yeah, he goes. You know,
I always try to give if I have any extra
(12:48):
money or change, Like, I always give him something. He's like,
I know, maybe I'm contributing to their addiction or whatever.
But I always do. But he's like, now I have
a new new take on it. He goes, I'm at
this stop light over the weekend, and there's a guy
there and he doesn't have a sign, and he's just
like kind of making gestures like he wants something to eat.
He's like, so, you know, I rolled down my window
and I had like ten or twenty dollars, and so
(13:08):
he gave it to the guy and he goes. I
thought to myself, Wow, okay. Instead of thinking, man, like,
you know, here's some money, hopefully he can get a
job or something, I thought he thought to himself, that's
his job. And I was like, what do you mean.
He goes, Well, think about it. He's down on his luck,
he's homeless, obviously, he's at a low point in his life.
But he's still showing up every day. Yeah, stand out
(13:29):
here in the cold, right And I was like, Yeah,
that's actually one way to think about it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He does it literally nine to five.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
They just show up like you know, you know, obviously
I've been there. You know, I've been homeless and stuff,
so I know what that's like. And yeah, I mean
It is kind of a job. You stand out there
in the fucking cold all day long, which can't be fun,
hoping that people will give you money. Yeah, a lot
of struggling people out there, actually right near your house. Yeah,
on twenty eight there where Texas Roadhouse is. Yeah, they
(13:57):
get both sides there, so they get all down where
Low's is. They get there and then up near Texas Roadhouse.
They have him going both ways.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah. I always feel really bad when I drive by
people because I try not to make that.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah. Well it's you know, it's a weird thing, man.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But also it's like I don't have money either, right.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Living with my parents.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I'll be like, oh I ever gonn olivar, But like
what if I need it?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, well I told you. I've told that story before.
I remember, like in the grips of my like addictions,
I was in front of a pizza place in Boston,
and do you know the story?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So this guy walked into the pizza place. I was
asking people for money for food. Guy walked in. I go, hey, man,
do you spare a couple of dollars, like so I
can get some food? And he's like, I don't think
I have any money out. He goes on the pizza place.
So I'm standing out there. Ten minutes go by. He
comes out with a small pizza box and he's like hey,
I'm like yeah. He goes, I got you a small
pizza so you can eat. And I looked and I
(14:50):
looked at him, and I go, fucking want that? What
fun food? And he was a look on his face
like you're like cash, You really think I wanted food? No,
I want drugs.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I want to eat drugs.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, exactly, I don't want to eat pizza.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh my god, do you take the pizza? No.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I didn't want to know. I was dope Sickley. You
know what that means. I was withdrawing. When you're withdrawing,
you're not hungry. I would eat after I would I
would use. You know, you physically addicted Riley when you
were born.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Oh this is funny.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I was incarcerated. Think about that. Well it was March
of two thousand.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, okay, Wow, you were living very different lives.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I remember because I was. I got sentenced right before
two thousand. It was the turn of the century.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, it was the How old were you I was?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Let me say so, I was seventeen. Wow, yeah, seventeen crazy.
So I got sentenced and then I was in jail
pretty much all through the year two thousand. Yes, and
I was, and you were a little baby. Think about that,
and then think about this when I got clean, you
were eight.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, and now we're here.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Look at us, and now we're here.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's like the Paul Rudd meme. Who would have thought,
not me?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That's so wild. Anyway, how was the weekend good?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, it was really good. Not to get too much
into it because nobody cares. But my driver won the
World Driver's Championship and I won, So I'm repping his
merch right now. Well it's from Abercrombie, but like.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Look at the back, Yeah, I like that. It's very
Travis Scott.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's his helmet. It's his helmet with it with his name,
his name Landon Norris. He drives from McLaren But literally, okay,
so nobody cares. But this, this championship came down to,
like the last race, it was between Lando who's never
won a championship before, Max Verstappan, who this would have
been his fifth. He's like the goat of f one. Well,
(16:50):
Lewis Hamilton is also the but Lewis Hamilton. That's because
he's like also like cross genres. Now he's like a
like a pop culture figure kind of. Yeah, but yeah,
Max re Stappin is like also the goat. And then
Oscar Piastri, who is Lando's teammate, was leading the championship
for like the first like third of the season, and
(17:12):
then Lando was kind of took out over and then
Max was like catching up. It was crazy. It came
down to this race. It was a three way race.
I mean, for Oscar to win it, it would have been
like a whole thing, but it doesn't even matter. But
it literally came down to this race. Lando won the
championship by two points. Sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I don't know how how they score it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I don't actually know the numbers off the top of
my head. But like so there's twenty drivers on the grid,
and every race the top ten gets points. So obviously
number if you come on first, you get twenty five points,
second gets eighteen, third gets fifteen, and then it drops
down from there. But I think you need like one
(17:55):
hundred or three hundred and ninety points to you don't.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Point to that, and then you have whoever it's the.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Most points wins.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Wins, and so he got two more points than there.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
He won the championship by two points because he came
in third in this race. It was in Abu Dhabi,
so they he got third, Max got first, and Oscar
got second, but he still won the championship because of
the way that the points came out right right. Also, sorry,
Benson Boone was in Abu Dhabi doing a hot lab
with Max for stopping hello.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Really like, let's see how the celebrity is going to
the events the other one so many? Yeah, yeah, no,
there's something to that. But do you want to tell
the after show, Army, how you got into F one?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Oh? Well, I watched Driver to Survive on.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Netflix, right and Billy Reality show?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah kind of, but you thought they were hot? No, okay,
So here's the thing. Billy holds this against me forever.
I watched this because I was like bored in like COVID,
and I was like, you know what, actually, let me
let me check this out. I like sports, and so yes,
they are hot, but they're all rich hot men, Like sorry,
(19:03):
nothing wrong with that exactly, but when they're this is
what bothers me because it's like you only watch because
they're hot. They have helmets on the entire race, you
cannot see their faces. I'm sorry. I wouldn't be tuning
in for an hour and a half two hours to
watch them drive around the track with helmets on, like
if I was only looking for them to.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Be hot, if you weren't into the driving exactly, this
sport is cool. No, I get it. I know that's
billy though. No, No, I know, but originally you watch
the show and you were like, Wow, they're kind of hot,

Speaker 2 (19:36):
I know that you're like not into men, but like
Charles Leclair is the most beautiful man I've ever seen
in my life, and a lot of people agree with this. Also,
Lewis Hamilton is also a very beautiful man.

Are there F one drivers from America?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So, Logan's sergeant used to be on the Grid for
like two seasons, but he raised for Williams, which is
like not the best team. I mean they're actually they
did pretty just in this season, not like good but
like not bad. It doesn't matter. But yeah, he like
crashed too much and they were like bye and they
replaced him.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know what's unique about you? You're really into F
one and you're also into hockey. Yeah, two things that
typically males are into.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, not to like be too like, not to be
the woke friend, but like that also is like another
thing when people are like, you only watch hockey because
the guys are hot no again wearing a helmet. And
also they're all ugly for the most part.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
They are. They beat up, like their faces a beat up.
The nose is. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Like if I wanted to watch like a sport for
people being hot, which like do people actually do that?
I don't think so. No, Like I'm trying to think
of like a sport where it's like objectively every single
player is like really hot. Don't there's like none. I
don't know, but yeah, yeah, wouldn't waste my time.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Well, you're really into hockey, You're into like the sport itself.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, Well I work for the Bruins too, right. Busy
B Well me and you, Well, Busy B is kind
of funny.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Busy Be. We're we're all busy. We're all busy. I
had a good weekend, Riley. I was at the Boys
and Girls Club for Santa with my daughter and then
I had flag football with my son Abel. Hey, justin
it's mo. I think I saw you at the flag
football evaluations today. I think I saw you.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
But I walked by fast and it was as we
were leaving, so I was going to turn around and
go say hi, but we were on our way out.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
But anyway, I was wondering if that was you. Also,
I just got tickets for Oh's The Mentalist. I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I'm kind of jealous. I wanted to go, but I'm
working in Bruin's camp that day The Mentalist.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah it's a Sunday night. I know you're working. Yeah, yeah,
that was me at flag football. I figured, yep, that
was me. I was there with my son. So Mo,
if you see me out and about, don't be a schmo,
say hello.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I think it's really funny that she somehow manages to
see you like a decent amount. Salem is not that
big of a town. But I'll be honest with you.
I do not run into people in Salem.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Like like like listeners.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No, like people from nobody would recognize me. No, but
people like that I went to high school with that
still like live in town. I do not run into people.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, Salem is kind of big though it's but the
residentials areas are really big right way you run into well,
they have all twenty eight tuscins.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I know, like I don't know, like restaurants in Target
in Walmart. I don't run into people, which is good.
I don't want to run into people, but I mean
people from high school. Oh yeah, not listeners. If you
recognize me and you're a listener from Kiss one way,
you can come up to me always.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You know what's funny is I remember, like before I
was on the air full time, when I was only
on the air sometimes, like when I was a producer
for the Mattie in the Morning Show. You know, people
didn't like recognize me much. But you know, if I
was out with somebody and they said, oh, this is
Justin from Kiss one o eight, they would go, oh
my god, I know you. Yeah, that's kind of where
you're at, you know. And then as time goes on,
(24:02):
now people listen more. I'm on the air more, and
I'm on the Instagram a lot, so people will like
like Mike from Salem was at the Boys and Girls Club.
He was a nice guy, you know, and then I
Sai met I know another woman that came up at
fun City. That's another place that we frequent.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Is that the bouncy place.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, Park, you never been there because it came after
you were grown up.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well it's funny because it used to be a bas
and they didn't change the outside. So the little blocks
that are from Babies r us are still on the
outside of Fun City and they take those down.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I know it's a good place, but I was there
with my friends and my kid, all of our kids,
and a woman came up and said, hey, I'm a
big fan of the show. I love you guys. And
she's like, I just want to tell you that your
son and I go, oh God, here we go, and
she goes, your son. Her son was a little bit younger.
He was looking out for my son and like protecting
him from something. I was like, oh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
So much raising a good little boy.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Listen, the thing with my son is outside the home.
He's great, like people love him right, but inside the
home is where he's more comfortable. I was going to say,
he can like wile out, yeah, and misbehave.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Honestly, sometimes I think that that's like a sign that
like a you guys are like parenting well and be like,
he's comfortable, Guys.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
He's comfortable, And think about what I want at the opposite,
what I want him to be good at home, like yeah,
oh bad and then bad on the Outsideah, you know
you don't.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
That was a great way to think about it. Yeah,
like at school or.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Whatever, Well, this has been fun, Riley, don't you have
a music meeting to go in? It's starting. You're late,
you're late. Oh, you're only nineteen minutes late.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
So Riley sits sits in the music meetings where they
play all the new music.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
On kiss No no, no, no no?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Oh? Is that not what we do that I don't
sit in?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Well I used to sit in on that one that
was on Thursdays, but then the bruin season started back up,
so I tend to leave.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So what the this mean?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
This is like what we play per week?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Oh, they like that, they plan the next week. Okay,
so let's say what songs they gonna play ten times
in an hour type thing? Yes?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, and literally last week we moved like two songs.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Who decides, Dylan and McCabe.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So what the fuck do you do?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I just sit there?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Do they ask your opinion? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Oh yeah, okay, Like they'll be like, how do you
feel about us moving up Ophelia or Open Light or whatever?
And I go I love that song, Taylor's is My Girl.
And then mccab goes, I hate that song, and I go, well,
I don't really care.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, he hates the album. I had him on to
explain it on the podcast. I understood what he was saying,
but I kind of didn't because his whole thing was
he was he was expecting this great, big pop album,
and I'm like, but you go right, it is a
pop album.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I understood the people that were like, well she marketed
it like not as like the way like we were
expecting like this drawback the curtain and see and like
we didn't really get that. But then the more you
spend time with the album, you're like, that is kind
of what that is.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Actually, are we listening to the same album, right.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, I don't. I didn't really get that either.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
To be honest, he's very moody, the moody Macabe.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Well, I went to Yeah, I went to the Actually
this is kind of a funny story, but I went
to when it was out in theaters. I like he
needed somebody to work it with him, and I was like, well,
I guess I'm free. So I went and then I
watched it with him, and like every time something happened
that he didn't like, he'd be like, I don't like that.
But we went to Taatee before because we had time
(27:24):
to Kill and we're in there like ordering a drink
and we were both wearing Taylor Swift merch and this
girl that was checking us out was like, oh, like,
oh Taylor Swift. And I was like, oh, have you
listened to the album? Like do you like it? She
was like, to be honest, I don't like it. And
we were like, oh, like whatever, it's okay, and she goes, oh,
but like, let's let me put you on somebody, like
(27:44):
do you guys know Tate McCrae. We were like, oh, yeah,
we do know Sate McCrae. Like she was like letting
us in on this secret. She's like, you know who
you should check out?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Tate m crowd idea who she's talking to.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Literally we were like okay, thanks, like and then we
liked to laugh about it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
He just looked into the door my cave.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Oh so he's not in the meeting either.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
He just peaked his head in and then he walked away.
Oh so maybe it's already over.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Maybe I got canceled. Maybe well because Dylan's not here.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I know Dylan, our boss is at jingle ball. Yeah,
he's at Detroit and Chicago. He goes to the different
jingle balls around the country. Yeah, and then Friday is
New York and then they come Sunday.
Speaker 2 (28:25):

fun and we'll chat with them tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (28:53):

smell so good.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah, oh yeah, they're great.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Imagine what they used to smell like back in the day. Yeah,
not so much anymore. Anyway. Peace thirty minutes today, Right,
let's go
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Wheeze chadding Bye.
All right, a late podcast today. I can't believe it.
(00:02):
It is eleven thirty and the after show is going on.
Hi everybody, it is Justin and producer Riley is here too,
working hard. Hi Riley, Hi, what's going on? Sorry to
pull you from your dungeon of work in there.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh it's okay, anything for a break.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I just you know, I could have done a podcast
by myself. Sometimes I do that. I come in and
talk and then when I'm done, I think to myself,
what did I just say?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, that's like what I do when I leave my
friends a voice note about things like instead of texting,
and I'll ramble for five minutes and be like, anyways,
sorry about that. You do that all the time.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Did you see Justin Bieber's his complaint this weekend? You
missed that it was about he was he was He
put a post up where he was yelling at Apple
because he doesn't like the structure of the design of
the microphone in the textbox that you text okay, because
when you hit it accidentally, it like messes up when
(00:57):
you're typing and then you type the microphone, it like
up the flow.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So he was like yelling at Apple through a post.
I don't know what the hell's going on.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
With Bieber, but well, when you used to be before
the update, you used to be able to hold where
the microphone is down and then you could leave a
voice note. Now you can't do that. Now you have
to go into the plus and then voice note. It's
kind of annoying.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So he must not have the new feature, I mean
the new update. Right.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Because that actually doesn't happen anymore. I'm pressing. Oh there
it is that just popped up.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, I think I knew what he meant where that
It kind of does like serie or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, it stops your texting.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that is annoying.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So I don't think I ever hit that, Like if
I'm in the middle of texting, I'm not like hitting
up there.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, I don't. Well, he's probably high as a kite.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well could be that could be that he's trying to
like sing and he's just like not snoworking.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Anyway, Good weekend. The reason it's so late today is
Riley and I are working hard on the year end stuff. Right.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, we did start recording the top twenty five moments
of twenty five. That's gonna be fun. That's going to
a special. It's going to run a couple of times
during the time that we're off. So that's been cool
reliving some of the big moments, like you know, Tom
Brady Parish from Love on the Spectrum, even just.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Like some of the fun topic times that we've done
that we're like, I forgot that we did that.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, like bad first dates, those are always good. So
you know, it's gonna be a good thing to kind
of catch up on as we say goodbye to twenty
twenty five and on to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Crazy. Ye I hate that.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
It is pretty crazy. Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Imagine Oh Billy was talking about that. He's like, where
did December go?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I know?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I like, we have a less than a week to
jingle Ball.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I know, hello jingle Ball is this weekend? Are you going?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yes? Okay, what kind of question is that?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, because we yes, we want you to go, but
we have to have the meeting on Thursday where they're
going to like decide who knows what. Yeah, that's going to.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Be sure that they're going to be like and you
are not going, Yeah, I'm be like.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
What, Well, I'll do my best to make sure that
you there. Yeah, we need you there because we're short.
So it's only Billy, Lisa and I when he's not
gonna be there obviously, so you know, if there's things
that need to get done, Billy has a lot of
charities and people that are you know. Yeah, so you
have to like run around and do those things.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah. Well in last year I was there literally just
doing that. But I want to get the liners.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh yeah, so you should say that. Yeah, so the
Liners is backstage. When the artists come back, before they
are interviewed by Billy, they have to read a piece
of paper that says like, hey, what's up as Ed Sharon,
you're listening to Kiss one to eight, you know, yeah,
and oh you're hanging with Billy Costas. You have to
kind of record those, right, and then Billy and I
are doing a live countdown, which is really I was
(03:42):
explaining it to my dad yesterday. He was at my house.
Nowhere else does this and I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, sorry, go ahead, No, I meant like, well, we're
like the.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Best, No, I know, it's just no other jingle ball
does that, you know. So basically Billy. So we have
the countdown from seven to ten live from backstage, secrets out.
It's not live, it's made the sound live.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's live ish.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yes, So Billy does interviews. I'm recording the interviews, okay.
So I prep Billy Riley, and I write up all
these sheets of information, so say Ed Sharon, some things
that he wants to talk about, you know, like his
Netflix dog, his new album Boston, things like that. So Billy,
who's like a master interviewer, well, look at the sheet
and then he'll just walk up there and he'll interview
(04:27):
Ed Sharon. So say it's a five minute interview. I'm
recording it and I'm listening to the questions and I'm like, okay,
I want to use that. I want to use that
when he's not and I'm making markers. And then as
soon as they're done, I edit it right there backstage,
and then I chop it into pieces, and then when
Billy's done, he comes over and then we insert it
into the countdown, So meaning Billy will record an intro like, hey,
what's up. We're backstage live at jingle Ball right now.
(04:49):
We're at number number sixteen, which is Ed Sharon, who
is standing with me right now or who I just
talked to a couple of minutes ago and we talked
about his Netflix doc and how it all came together.
Boom insert yeah, and then he gives me a close
all right, we'll have more with that, Sharon. Backstage at
jingle Ball twenty twenty five. I take that and then
I send it over the clouds to the radio station
(05:12):
where somebody is here to put it into the system
and play on the radio. Yes, so we do that
for literally hours, That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So it's fun to be there, but it's a lot
of work.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Well, it's fun for me too, who like really likes
watching you produce because you're like you're the best. Yeah,
say not to like get you a big head or whatever. Sorry,
nobody can see it, but it's literally getting bigger by
the second. But I've been backstage at jingle Ball with
you before, watching what you do. And I've also been
(05:44):
on the other side where I've been here in the
studio for Kiss concert two years ago, and it's really
interesting to like see you do it, but also to
be on this side, like receiving it and then putting
it in to the countdown. When you say it's like
not live, it's like it has like a delay of
like five minutes. Like the turnover that you have is
like actually insane.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah. Yeah, like I'm producing it, I'm editing it, and
then I'm sending it and she's putting it right on.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The radio, which makes it even funnier when like people
are probably like, oh my god, like you guys have
gone to so many like jingle Balls. You see so
many artists who's like and it's like we don't even
really get to see some of them on stage.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, not on stage. No, usually at the end we'll see.
It really sucks, like I want to see obviously Olivia Dean,
I want to see man I need and then they
do have a TV back there though.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, but it's like not the same. No, It's like
it's not like you're like at a concert. I want
to see Ed and Olivia. Yeah, so I'm like gonna
go out of my way to like try to get
down there.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Definitely you will see because he's likely closing the.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Show because we're gonna be done.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Is Yeah, so you'll watch that. I remember two years ago,
Sizza was the headliner and she did New interviews. She
came last minute, and so we're on stage waiting to
introduce her. She was the last act, and then she
came up on stage with her team and she was
standing right next to us, and so we didn't talk
to her. She's just sitting there and I'm looking at her,
(07:03):
and she has her phone on her iPhone and she's
reading comments on her Instagram and just scrolling. So if
you ever think that, you know, do celebrities read comments
and ship?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
They do?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
They do?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, I don't think I could be a celebrity for
that reason.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Are you driving with me, by the way or no?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's I wasn't planning on it, but because last year
I had to be there like super early, like earlier
than you. Oh right, So I was just going to
wait to see what was going on.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You probably don't want to because you're gonna make me leave.
I'm gonna leave like before Ed's over.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, I figured you would do that. Well, my mom
is going, oh yeah, well and one of my friends.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, then you can come with me. Oh no, because
so I'm coming to the radio station like Matt Early.
Oh yeah, that's the thing. Oh yeah, you can't.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'd have to meet you here and then have somebody
drop me back.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah okay, yeah, because I come here at like eight am.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, I work on all the final bios for all
the artists, and then I work on like a bunch
of year end stuff, which, by the way, turns the
transition the end of the year stuff, you know, like
Talkbacker of the Year. I'm really torn on that one.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I know, it's like between like three people.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, so you got you got Sarah from Maine, Kim. Yeah,
Sarah from Maine did the Jordan Hudson thing. She's in
the running because obviously she's a regular talkbacker and she's
funny and all that. Well, she went above and beyond.
She did more than any other talkbacker, so that puts
her up front.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And they already give her a hoodie. Sorry, yes, okay,
so what is she going to win? Just like the title?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh no, are we giving a hoodie again? I just
assume maybe yeah, no, We'll give her a prize, okay, Aka,
I'll make Billy.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Buy something something like a gift card, you know, yeah,
that'd be nice. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And then Kim. You know, Kim's really funny.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, we love Ki cracks her talkback today was actually.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
She's really fun yeah, and then uh, and then the
gay dude loves Billy.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, Billy's lover.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, Billy's lover. Although do you know the story with
that that current that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Person, like, doesn't he work somewhere that like and nobody
knows he does that. It's like obviously a fake voice.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yes, he works with my wife. Oh yeah, I don't
even I shouldn't even be saying this in case people listen.
But he works with my wife and he's like a
straight up, like normal dude. Yeah yeah, so I don't know. Yeah,
he he knows that my wife knows who he is,
but no one talks to him about it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah okay, yeah, yeah, this is connecting in my brain now.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And they have like group chats where they talk about it.
They love it. It's hilarious. Yeah, but they think it's
so funny that he has this alter ego, right that
they don't talk about you know.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, he's literally handah Montana.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah. So for example, at work, he's a good worker
and he's very like serious, yeah, you know, he doesn't
really joke around. So when it was discovered that he
was leaving these talkbacks as Billy's gay lover. Nobody could
believe it. Yeah, like nobody. So that's so he's in
the running too. So I'm gonna have to decide there's
gonna be some upset people.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Now, Well, yeah, who can I blame.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It on you?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
No, because everything that falls on me, that's the that's
the the executive producer curse.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I know. Let's just say that Billy chose.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
That could be good. Yeah, because Billy was gonna get
mad at him. Well, also, he doesn't read any comments.
He doesn't exactly watch anything like legit knows nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I like them whenever he says he's like I am
I gonna get canceled for this, dude, you could get
canceled and you wouldn't even know.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
He wouldn't even know. Like obviously there was like a
lot of outrage when when he was laid off, and
like there was some a lot of comments and things
like that. Billy had no idea yet.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I don't even know if he does. He follow kis
one way.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He knows nothing. He lives the most care free life.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I like. Sorry, I like when he's like everybody DM
me or like whatever, like he's like giving stuff away
or whatever, and then he's like, how do I do that?
Like behind the scenes, he's like, Okay, Riley, I need
you to do this. I'm like, you just need to
like go through, like just go through your phone. It's like,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
The best with Billy is that he doesn't. So I
help him with a lot of stuff, right, especially if
you're going up everybody field, Oh yeah, you going up
and getting comfy. So I help him with all his
like you know, online stuff, and so there are times
when I help him with his banking. Yeah, so you know,
I'll be in there like helping him move money or whatever.
(11:23):
And you can imagine dollar amounts just infinity. Yeah, a
lot of zero's in commas, you know. And listen, Billy's
been working for fucking forty five years, like working his
he's the hardest working right now. So he makes a
good living. But every time I do it, I just
think to myself, like he has no idea, right, like
this would be a gold mine for someone like the
(11:44):
old me.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Or the guy that scammed you.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Or the guy that scammed me. No, Like he's Billy,
so oh he's so innocent but also dumb. I mean, hold,
I call hi dumb. I gave all my money away
to a scammer, but I come to win there and
just transfer money out.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh you have no idea, You have no idea?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
How about this one? His venmo, which he shares with
his wife. I believe one time he was like, oh,
can you can you venmo this person? I open up there, like,
you know, a few grand in there. I could just
send myself five hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
He would never In fact, he even if he did notice,
he'd probably be like that makes sense. Yeah, Like he
probably wouldn't even know. He'd probably be like, hey, did
I send you this money? And you'd be like yeah,
and he'd be like, okay, yeah, you're right, you deserve it.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Were you in here this morning when he was talking
about I don't think you are when he was talking
about the homeless people on the street. Okay, So he
comes in and he's like, yeah, he goes, I have
this new like way of thinking of people that you
know are homeless in there at the stop lights, you know,
with the signs and everything. Yeah, he goes. You know,
I always try to give if I have any extra
(12:48):
money or change, Like, I always give him something. He's like,
I know, maybe I'm contributing to their addiction or whatever.
But I always do. But he's like, now I have
a new new take on it. He goes, I'm at
this stop light over the weekend, and there's a guy
there and he doesn't have a sign, and he's just
like kind of making gestures like he wants something to eat.
He's like, so, you know, I rolled down my window
and I had like ten or twenty dollars, and so
(13:08):
he gave it to the guy and he goes. I
thought to myself, Wow, okay. Instead of thinking, man, like,
you know, here's some money, hopefully he can get a
job or something, I thought he thought to himself, that's
his job. And I was like, what do you mean.
He goes, Well, think about it. He's down on his luck,
he's homeless, obviously, he's at a low point in his life.
But he's still showing up every day. Yeah, stand out
(13:29):
here in the cold, right And I was like, Yeah,
that's actually one way to think about it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He does it literally nine to five.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
They just show up like you know, you know, obviously
I've been there. You know, I've been homeless and stuff,
so I know what that's like. And yeah, I mean
It is kind of a job. You stand out there
in the fucking cold all day long, which can't be fun,
hoping that people will give you money. Yeah, a lot
of struggling people out there, actually right near your house. Yeah,
on twenty eight there where Texas Roadhouse is. Yeah, they
(13:57):
get both sides there, so they get all down where
Low's is. They get there and then up near Texas Roadhouse.
They have him going both ways.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah. I always feel really bad when I drive by
people because I try not to make that.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah. Well it's you know, it's a weird thing, man.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But also it's like I don't have money either, right.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Living with my parents.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I'll be like, oh I ever gonn olivar, But like
what if I need it?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, well I told you. I've told that story before.
I remember, like in the grips of my like addictions,
I was in front of a pizza place in Boston,
and do you know the story?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So this guy walked into the pizza place. I was
asking people for money for food. Guy walked in. I go, hey, man,
do you spare a couple of dollars, like so I
can get some food? And he's like, I don't think
I have any money out. He goes on the pizza place.
So I'm standing out there. Ten minutes go by. He
comes out with a small pizza box and he's like hey,
I'm like yeah. He goes, I got you a small
pizza so you can eat. And I looked and I
(14:50):
looked at him, and I go, fucking want that? What
fun food? And he was a look on his face
like you're like cash, You really think I wanted food? No,
I want drugs.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I want to eat drugs.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, exactly, I don't want to eat pizza.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh my god, do you take the pizza? No.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I didn't want to know. I was dope Sickley. You
know what that means. I was withdrawing. When you're withdrawing,
you're not hungry. I would eat after I would I
would use. You know, you physically addicted Riley when you
were born.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Oh this is funny.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I was incarcerated. Think about that. Well it was March
of two thousand.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, okay, Wow, you were living very different lives.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I remember because I was. I got sentenced right before
two thousand. It was the turn of the century.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, it was the How old were you I was?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Let me say so, I was seventeen. Wow, yeah, seventeen crazy.
So I got sentenced and then I was in jail
pretty much all through the year two thousand. Yes, and
I was, and you were a little baby. Think about that,
and then think about this when I got clean, you
were eight.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, and now we're here.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Look at us, and now we're here.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's like the Paul Rudd meme. Who would have thought,
not me?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That's so wild. Anyway, how was the weekend good?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, it was really good. Not to get too much
into it because nobody cares. But my driver won the
World Driver's Championship and I won, So I'm repping his
merch right now. Well it's from Abercrombie, but like.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Look at the back, Yeah, I like that. It's very
Travis Scott.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's his helmet. It's his helmet with it with his name,
his name Landon Norris. He drives from McLaren But literally, okay,
so nobody cares. But this, this championship came down to,
like the last race, it was between Lando who's never
won a championship before, Max Verstappan, who this would have
been his fifth. He's like the goat of f one. Well,
(16:50):
Lewis Hamilton is also the but Lewis Hamilton. That's because
he's like also like cross genres. Now he's like a
like a pop culture figure kind of. Yeah, but yeah,
Max re Stappin is like also the goat. And then
Oscar Piastri, who is Lando's teammate, was leading the championship
for like the first like third of the season, and
(17:12):
then Lando was kind of took out over and then
Max was like catching up. It was crazy. It came
down to this race. It was a three way race.
I mean, for Oscar to win it, it would have been
like a whole thing, but it doesn't even matter. But
it literally came down to this race. Lando won the
championship by two points. Sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I don't know how how they score it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I don't actually know the numbers off the top of
my head. But like so there's twenty drivers on the grid,
and every race the top ten gets points. So obviously
number if you come on first, you get twenty five points,
second gets eighteen, third gets fifteen, and then it drops
down from there. But I think you need like one
(17:55):
hundred or three hundred and ninety points to you don't.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Point to that, and then you have whoever it's the.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Most points wins.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Wins, and so he got two more points than there.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
He won the championship by two points because he came
in third in this race. It was in Abu Dhabi,
so they he got third, Max got first, and Oscar
got second, but he still won the championship because of
the way that the points came out right right. Also, sorry,
Benson Boone was in Abu Dhabi doing a hot lab
with Max for stopping hello.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Really like, let's see how the celebrity is going to
the events the other one so many? Yeah, yeah, no,
there's something to that. But do you want to tell
the after show, Army, how you got into F one?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Oh? Well, I watched Driver to Survive on.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Netflix, right and Billy Reality show?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah kind of, but you thought they were hot? No, okay,
So here's the thing. Billy holds this against me forever.
I watched this because I was like bored in like COVID,
and I was like, you know what, actually, let me
let me check this out. I like sports, and so yes,
they are hot, but they're all rich hot men, Like sorry,
(19:03):
nothing wrong with that exactly, but when they're this is
what bothers me because it's like you only watch because
they're hot. They have helmets on the entire race, you
cannot see their faces. I'm sorry. I wouldn't be tuning
in for an hour and a half two hours to
watch them drive around the track with helmets on, like
if I was only looking for them to.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Be hot, if you weren't into the driving exactly, this
sport is cool. No, I get it. I know that's
billy though. No, No, I know, but originally you watch
the show and you were like, Wow, they're kind of hot,
and then you got into all their stories and their lives.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I know that you're like not into men, but like
Charles Leclair is the most beautiful man I've ever seen
in my life, and a lot of people agree with this. Also,
Lewis Hamilton is also a very beautiful man.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Hold on, because I'm very I'm very comfortable in my sexuality,
so I can tell when a guy is good looking
or not. His last name L E. C. Claire.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It should just come up to.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The first Clark. Yeah, how do you say that?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well, he's okay from Monaco. No, you're not understanding. Go
to images.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I'm looking at him right now yeah. Yeah, he's very Yeah,
he's an attractive guy.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah. Oh I see yeah, no, I okay, look at
Lando Norris.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Hold on, I see him right there.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, look he's beautiful Lando.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Norris, Lando.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, okay, my driver, he's not well, I think he's
really cute, but like he's not.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Charles is like, what do you like about him?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Lando? He's really funny.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Was he in the show?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
In the Netflix show? Yes, Okay, what nationality is this guy?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
British? Are we surprised? No?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Are there F one drivers from America?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So, Logan's sergeant used to be on the Grid for
like two seasons, but he raised for Williams, which is
like not the best team. I mean they're actually they
did pretty just in this season, not like good but
like not bad. It doesn't matter. But yeah, he like
crashed too much and they were like bye and they
replaced him.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know what's unique about you? You're really into F
one and you're also into hockey. Yeah, two things that
typically males are into.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, not to like be too like, not to be
the woke friend, but like that also is like another
thing when people are like, you only watch hockey because
the guys are hot no again wearing a helmet. And
also they're all ugly for the most part.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
They are. They beat up, like their faces a beat up.
The nose is. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Like if I wanted to watch like a sport for
people being hot, which like do people actually do that?
I don't think so. No, Like I'm trying to think
of like a sport where it's like objectively every single
player is like really hot. Don't there's like none. I
don't know, but yeah, yeah, wouldn't waste my time.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Well, you're really into hockey, You're into like the sport itself.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, Well I work for the Bruins too, right. Busy
B Well me and you, Well, Busy B is kind
of funny.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Busy Be. We're we're all busy. We're all busy. I
had a good weekend, Riley. I was at the Boys
and Girls Club for Santa with my daughter and then
I had flag football with my son Abel. Hey, justin
it's mo. I think I saw you at the flag
football evaluations today. I think I saw you.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
But I walked by fast and it was as we
were leaving, so I was going to turn around and
go say hi, but we were on our way out.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
But anyway, I was wondering if that was you. Also,
I just got tickets for Oh's The Mentalist. I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I'm kind of jealous. I wanted to go, but I'm
working in Bruin's camp that day The Mentalist.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah it's a Sunday night. I know you're working. Yeah, yeah,
that was me at flag football. I figured, yep, that
was me. I was there with my son. So Mo,
if you see me out and about, don't be a schmo,
say hello.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I think it's really funny that she somehow manages to
see you like a decent amount. Salem is not that
big of a town. But I'll be honest with you.
I do not run into people in Salem.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Like like like listeners.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No, like people from nobody would recognize me. No, but
people like that I went to high school with that
still like live in town. I do not run into people.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, Salem is kind of big though it's but the
residentials areas are really big right way you run into well,
they have all twenty eight tuscins.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I know, like I don't know, like restaurants in Target
in Walmart. I don't run into people, which is good.
I don't want to run into people, but I mean
people from high school. Oh yeah, not listeners. If you
recognize me and you're a listener from Kiss one way,
you can come up to me always.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You know what's funny is I remember, like before I
was on the air full time, when I was only
on the air sometimes, like when I was a producer
for the Mattie in the Morning Show. You know, people
didn't like recognize me much. But you know, if I
was out with somebody and they said, oh, this is
Justin from Kiss one o eight, they would go, oh
my god, I know you. Yeah, that's kind of where
you're at, you know. And then as time goes on,
(24:02):
now people listen more. I'm on the air more, and
I'm on the Instagram a lot, so people will like
like Mike from Salem was at the Boys and Girls Club.
He was a nice guy, you know, and then I
Sai met I know another woman that came up at
fun City. That's another place that we frequent.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Is that the bouncy place.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, Park, you never been there because it came after
you were grown up.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well it's funny because it used to be a bas
and they didn't change the outside. So the little blocks
that are from Babies r us are still on the
outside of Fun City and they take those down.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I know it's a good place, but I was there
with my friends and my kid, all of our kids,
and a woman came up and said, hey, I'm a
big fan of the show. I love you guys. And
she's like, I just want to tell you that your
son and I go, oh God, here we go, and
she goes, your son. Her son was a little bit younger.
He was looking out for my son and like protecting
him from something. I was like, oh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
So much raising a good little boy.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Listen, the thing with my son is outside the home.
He's great, like people love him right, but inside the
home is where he's more comfortable. I was going to say,
he can like wile out, yeah, and misbehave.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Honestly, sometimes I think that that's like a sign that
like a you guys are like parenting well and be like,
he's comfortable, Guys.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
He's comfortable, And think about what I want at the opposite,
what I want him to be good at home, like yeah,
oh bad and then bad on the Outsideah, you know
you don't.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
That was a great way to think about it. Yeah,
like at school or.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Whatever, Well, this has been fun, Riley, don't you have
a music meeting to go in? It's starting. You're late,
you're late. Oh, you're only nineteen minutes late.

On kiss No no, no, no no?
Speaker 1 (25:44):

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Well I used to sit in on that one that
was on Thursdays, but then the bruin season started back up,

And I go I love that song, Taylor's is My Girl.

I don't really care.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, he hates the album. I had him on to
explain it on the podcast. I understood what he was saying,
but I kind of didn't because his whole thing was
he was he was expecting this great, big pop album,
and I'm like, but you go right, it is a
pop album.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I understood the people that were like, well she marketed
it like not as like the way like we were
expecting like this drawback the curtain and see and like
we didn't really get that. But then the more you
spend time with the album, you're like, that is kind
of what that is.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Actually, are we listening to the same album, right.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, I don't. I didn't really get that either.

To be honest, he's very moody, the moody Macabe.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Well, I went to Yeah, I went to the Actually
this is kind of a funny story, but I went
to when it was out in theaters. I like he
needed somebody to work it with him, and I was like, well,
I guess I'm free. So I went and then I
watched it with him, and like every time something happened
that he didn't like, he'd be like, I don't like that.
But we went to Taatee before because we had time
(27:24):
to Kill and we're in there like ordering a drink
and we were both wearing Taylor Swift merch and this
girl that was checking us out was like, oh, like,
oh Taylor Swift. And I was like, oh, have you
listened to the album? Like do you like it? She

He just looked into the door my cave.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Oh so he's not in the meeting either.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
He just peaked his head in and then he walked away.
Oh so maybe it's already over.
