Dude, you're doing the after show with us. I didn't
know where you go and you are you leaving?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:04):
I just came in to say, have a blessed day.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
There's gonna be a show that's a Handmaid's Chill.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Another chick show. Great show. I don't watch it, but
my wife does. But the other king, I should say,
the queen of chick shows.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, why not? Yeah, Billy, I just wanted to ask
you real quick.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You know, I got to share at this sober festival
this afternoon in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, I just don't know, like when.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I speak publicly like that, like, you know, some of
my crazy stories I should probably leave.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Out, right.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I would probably put something together and certainly edit out
a lot of the chapters in your past life, right right.
I mean you've told me some that Oh my god,
I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's stupid. It's stupid, I know. Yeah, No, it'll be great.
It's from four to eight Boston City Hall Plaza. They're
having a a Namaste Sober Festival.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's actually really cool, and it's actually right in my
wheelhouse because it's it's it's putting together things like wellness
and EXTRAI and yoga with recovery. And if you know
my story, when I got clean, I ballooned up to
three hundred and fifty pounds because I replaced the drugs
with food.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Right. My friend used to always say, heroin ain't got
shit on the dollar menu. Okay, okay, so you think
heroin's hard, Yeah, well try well, food you have to eat. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
You don't need to do drugs, you don't need to
drink alcohol, but food you need it.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
See, this is gonna be a good speech.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Okay, I'm gonna put in this speech. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So then when I ballooned up and I was so
fat and just unhappy, very fat.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I'm very fat or orca fat, someone says, well.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I have a coffee mug with your fat cell phone.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So the bottom for me was I had to speak
at a recovery meeting at eight o'clock. So I worked
all day at friendlies, where I ate all day long
behind the grill, unlimited food. And I got home at
three o'clock and on the way home, I did what
I always did. I got a large cheese pizza with
extra cheese after eating burgers and fries.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
After all that, ye shakes yep, and then you'd get
a whole pizza.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So then I get a pizza eat at home to relax,
and I would say to the people, I would like
a large cheese pizza with extra cheese, and they'd say okay,
and then I would say, and then once you put
the extra extra cheese on, can you please add more cheese?
It was just gooey mountains of cheese. Right, So anyway,
I get home, I eat the whole pizza on this day,
(02:22):
and I went into a food kolma because I'd eaten
so much food, right, and.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I just passed out.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And I passed out, you know. So I wake up
probably around nine o'clock at night. I had overslept and
stared over and no, no, no, I missed my meeting that
I was supposed to speak at. So when I realized
what time it was, and I felt like the biggest
fucking loser.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah. My first thought was I want to get.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
High, right, and then right away I knew that I
couldn't because I was in recovery. And you play the
tape through, and my second thought was, I'm gonna come.
I'm gonna kill myself because I don't want to live
like this anymore. And that was my bottom. And then
and then I got through that, and I talked to
some people, and I made the decision to join the
gym and stick with it, and I've been there ever since.
And that's where it all began.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
That's where it all began.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And I think the exercise is such an important thing
for me in my recovery, So partnering these two things
together are huge.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
So yeah, so you're gonna have a written script you're
gonna read. I don't write, speak from the heart.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I speak from the heart. Recommend I never ever write
anything down. Yeah, I just speak.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
You're gonna have handouts or anything.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
No, nothing, nothing, but I'll be there with power of recovery.
They invited me to be the guest speaker and then
after me as a Boston City councilor speaking to recovery. Yeah,
I'll probably mention that. Like you know, in my addiction,
I used to run around right in that area. You know,
I was up and down the streets.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Then, well you on the benches right there at City Hall.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Well they had this overhang right on City Hall, right
next to City Hall Plaza when it was raining out.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now I was homeless. I would sit under, take a
nap you know what station?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Absolutely, yeah. I grew up in the Orange Line.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Did they throw you out? Though?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
One time I fell asleep? I nodded out leaving Malden station.
I was going to believe Downtown cross and I nodded out.
I was high, Yeah, And I went to Forest Hills,
back to Mall the station, back to Forest probably like
three or four times.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
On the train sleeping, just stay there, keep going back.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And I just remember the conductor coming out and just
like kicking me, like, hey, you gotta get in.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I thought of you, what's that Will Smith movie with
his son? And oh they're down and out and uh happy,
happier something?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
No, this the pursuit of happiness. Yes, well yeah, pursuit
of happy.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I had the happy part.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
When he was sleeping all night in the bathroom at
the subway station, I thought of you, did you ever
do that?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I did sleep in the subway the bathroom. Never in
the bathroom, no, never.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
So seemed very warm.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, yeah, it's not bad. Yeah, I've got him in
a better place now.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
So four to eight o'clock tonight at City Hall.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's important to me just spread the word.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, so absolutely, power of recovery, power of recovery.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
My friends, Yeah, they'll be uh, they'll be there and
they'll be joining us here pretty soon as well.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You're going to the Red Sox game tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I sure am Red Sox. A's let's go Frienway Park.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Good news for the Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
No, I think it's over, but.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well it's going to be over after you go.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Well, I'm the mush. We make it very clear to everybody.
I don't bring good luck. Yeah, I just bring myself. Yeah,
take it, take what you get.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You know, now, if you go in the booth, you
they're going to ask you about different food, recommend they
like it when in the booth. I don't think they do.
I know they do, know they do, but some that
this is the thing. I think they love you and Jenny,
They love you guys. We're all friends, right, Daved O'Brian.
I just feel like they're trying to call the game
and in talk to you guys at the same time.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
They get a lot of complaints from the viewers too.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's weird.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
They go, you know, what are they talking about? A
marching the game?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But it's only weird, No, they don't ask both. No,
I mean I actually really looked into this. If there's
nothing going on in the game, strikeouts, walks, whatever, flyout,
it's not a big deal. It's when you guys are
talking in something big happen.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But here's the deal. Okay, And I keep meaning to
clear this up with you and with Winnie too. By
the way, when we go in the booth, if we're
not there, someone else would be. You know what I mean.
They've got to line up every game of people who
are scheduled to comme in, whether it be charities or
celebrity who you know, Jeremy Piven would be nice to
be in the box. He's in here, would be good,
(06:16):
he's in town. But anyway, Yeah, if it's not us,
it would be somebody else. And we're asked to come
in because we're all on nessen so we like to
promote our shows or various shows and whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, and you know, you can just say to the
people that are upset what you always say, what you
say off the air. Are you in the booth?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah? How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Are you in the booth?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Okay, let me take it a step further. Okay, I
grew up here. My whole life a baseball fan. Played
a lot of baseball. I played Little league, I played
Major League. I played in college at prep school. Okay,
and I was always a Red Sox fan. Okay. Now
I get to go in the box the broadcast booth
and talk about the game. And who wouldn't do that
if they're invited?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, talk about the game might be a stretch on it. Yesterday,
the first inning was thirty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
We're hanging with the official burger of your Boston Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He swung at the three. Oh, it pops up to
the third baseman right along the line.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Rock climbing, and the Matt Fisherman stopped by the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
To cook up some port. They're trying a Red.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Sox with a giant squandered and that's all coming up.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh, I'll wrap it up when I'm ready. All right,
how's that all right? I'll be tuning in tonight, so
please do gost socks? All right?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, thank you Billy so much, and if for everyone else,
we will be back tomorrow when he's gonna go home
and take a nap. Yeah, seems face little thing going on.
How is the spider Bykee.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
By the way, I woke up crying last night. It
heart so bad.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Really, so the antibiotics are not working, not well. Are
you gonna go back today like I said.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Seventy gonna give us seventy two hours, which would be
like today.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, I know, it's weird.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
It looks like you had fillers, but you did, I.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Know, and my lady babies, yeah, baby said four is
also on RN. And she looked at it and she said,
it looks like a spider by and like everything I'm
experiencing is and your wife does her biomedic stuff. She
she looked at it. She said that that's the pathogen
are saying. So it doesn't it seems like I'll be okay,
but it's very painful. It was way more painful than
I thought it was gonna be.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's kind of looks looking like Jigsaw.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
When I tell you, like, even doing like this, it hurts.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah. So it's only one side.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
What it's literally my nose divides it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's the weirdest that I'll tell you what I'm offering
to punch you on the other side of you.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
See, that's why we bringing on the after show, all right,
we'll see you guys.

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
