Speaker 1 (00:31):
Okay, vacation you're excited. What are you doing? I asked you, Santy.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm hanging at home doing nothing special but just getting
to sleep in and not get up in the middle
of the night.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Boring Ashley, just about the same.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I mean, at least for you, you're gonna be able
to sleep. Probably it'll seven, seven thirty, maybe even eight.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That's right, because I don't have young kids that wake me.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Year. Yeah, I'll be up at six, but you know what,
six is better than three thirty, So I'll take that
any day. And let's be honest, I'll be drunk for
more than half. This's that's the real truth of it all.
I actually thought to myself, maybe I'll start smoking.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Wouldn't like smoking cigarettes, Yeah, like a.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
New port or something.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's disgusting, but like that's how stressed most mothers are
at this point time. I mean, my daughter's birthday is tomorrow,
then you got Christmas. It's like I might rip a
butt and black out.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Survival people, they say that's a new thing now with
young people. They don't smoke cigarettes full time, only when
they drink.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah right, Yeah, that's when my cousin used to rip them.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, smokers, you know what I used to do. And
I couldn't afford cigarettes because I was on drugs. So
at the Maulden Courthouse down the street, they had the
ashtray was outside was just sand, and so the lawyers
would come out to the smoke and they would take
a couple of puffs and they would just stick it
in the sand. But they wouldn't like, you know, crunch
them up. So I would just go there and wait,
(01:48):
and then when they'd all go inside for court, I'd
go in and I'd take all the snipes and I'd
put them in an empty cigarette box. And then I
had like half smoke to go.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You're like variety camels if the drugs and that didn't
kill this man.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Oh est in some of the butts had lipstick on them.
Get spirits, oh my. And then and then also so
I would be a middleman for a lot of people
that wanted drugs, right, So say they wanted fifty bucks worth,
they'd give me the money and I'd go meet the guy.
(02:25):
And it got to a point where I would I
would short them five dollars so I could buy myself cigarettes. Yeah.
That eventually they were like, We're not coming to see
you unless you have the whole They caught onto it. Yeah,
you know what I mean. Cigarettes were like a big
deal when I was. When I was, they really were.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I mean think about it when we were young, our age.
I mean, I'm going to be forty next year. Like
there were cigarette commercials twenty four to seven. I think
about that.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Camel Yeah, Camel Joe, Camel Joe Joe, like the leather r.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Right, and then they started the Dare program and shit
got real or.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The Marlboro Miles or the Marble whatever they would call.
You could get gifts.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
All those called I don't know, like the like the man,
like the cowboy.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I can distinctly like right now, smell my grandfather's Mercedes,
all leather with the ashtray in the middle, always filled.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Like I can't.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I could put myself right back in that car right now.
I'm like ten yep, and he's ripping butts right into
the ashtray, right in the car, Like they didn't make
cars without ashtrays.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh, I know. I have memories of being in the
back seat and the windows being up in them, smoking
my pack absolutely like crack a window.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
No, no, that was like the way, that was nothingness.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I love tobacco, I actually do. I don't do it
a lot just because cancer. I smoked the cars in
the summer, But like I love chewing tobacco.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
What about like just the nicotine pouches or whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I've tried them. I don't love those because I don't
want to hold it in my lip. But baseball, I
was chewing tobacco like all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's a big baseball thing.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
My first job, I was a snitch. Did I ever
tell you this?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I would tell you this your first job, you were imagine.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
My life story, right, I went into this life of like,
cryme snitch, I'm not a rat. But my first job
was I was twelve years old and I was bigger,
so I looked older. And my mom's friend worked for
the Department of Public Health in Lynn, Massachusetts. Santi's favorite place.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Worst place in America.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay, So she came to my mom and said, hey,
would justin be willing to help me out on some saturdays.
I'll pay him money. I was like, okay. So she
would drive me around to all the stores in Lynda
bodega's and she would send me in with money to
buy cigarettes. And so I go in and try to
buy them. If they would sell, and if they carded me,
I would go out and we'd go to the next door.
But if they sold to me, I'd come out give
her the cigarettes, and then she would go right in
(04:32):
there with like a citation and a fucking fine. She
shut them down. Why and some stores sold them to me.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You're a fucking nark.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, yeah, see, but I was even good with that cash.
Fifty bucks. It's really good.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
That's a that's a very interesting tale. I never knew that.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, no more cigarette stuff for me. My mother in
law is a big smoker, down down the down lash.
She's probably twice two a day.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And she and she doesn't she you know, most smokers,
they like knock the ash off.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
She doesn't.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I had a full on conversation with her once the
ash was the length of the cigarette and there was
like a little millimeter left of actual sig. I'm like,
I don't even know how she was holding it. Like
it was the craziest thing I'd ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, it's really. It bothers me because it's sad, But
I don't know. I mean, my friend's mother was eighty eight.
She just passed away, and she smoked her whole life.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
They told my grandfather, you smoke one more cigarette, we're
cutting a hole in your throat. You're gonna be like
the guy in the commercial with a little hole in
your throat. To know what he said, cut the whole,
cut the whole, dead ass.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
He was like, cut the hole.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Like people that age sometimes they get to the point
where they like they've lived and they're gonna do whatever
the fuck they want.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, they don't care. But You'm like vaping now, which
like is that also can kill you? It came but
it's not as bad, I think. So she did vape
for six months several years ago. We got her on
the vape and her cough went away within two weeks.
It used to have made her cough. She had. Oh she
has a wicked smoker's cough like forever like. Yeah, she
has co op d.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
You know about the smokers cough.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I haven't heard the smokers cough. She peas a little
when she coughs.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Honestly, that's the kids you do to, right, My wife does.
Oh yeah, I pee when I cough. Sometimes when I jump,
she holds, She holds her I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, well she when she sneezes.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We all got to tighten our pelvic floor.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Is that what that is? Wow?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
This is We've learned so much here, We've gotten around.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
This is.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
This is what the after show is about. It's free balling.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
My wife does not be when she colls because she had.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
A c section. Ah, but Gen did too. She had
to them me she got.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Something else going on. Yeah, mine were vaginal.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You should give that area like a break and that
might be our cue.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
That might be r Q. Because you don't want to
go down this path.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Get it.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Let's end with this because we're leaving and we're going
on vacation. I know the two gifts you had planned
on getting your wife.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But they can't.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
They can't like that creep sex game.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hey hey, hey, the package came and she took it in.
I don't think she looked at that. Maybe she did,
but it's said on the top sip or sin.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Well, if she listened to our show, shared knew that
thing was coming, so she'll probably have to pretend to
be surprised. Did you start writing in the journal?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh, the journal came. No, not yet. I'm gonna wait
till next week when I'm like, calm down.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I want to get going on that.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And I have to think about it. You know what
I'm going to answer for each one?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Do you know about the book? Yeah? Yeah, it's like
all the reasons why I love you. You should try this?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Okay yeah yeah, and then yeah, but you know what,
don't let him. Don't let him talk down to you
about things, because I don't know if you have seen
my Instagram today. No, but he spent twenty dollars on
a laser pointer.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Okay, I have those.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That is no, No, you don't have this it's different.
Maybe you do. The one he has is different shapes
of penises. So here I am. I'm trying to give
the news, like talk about serious stuff and I have
a penis on my cheek.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Hold on is this are there any Oh god, twenty dollar?
Where did you find that TikTok talk shop?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
By the way, Like I'm forty five?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, Like it's sad. Santy did make the top five
moments of the end of the year for the least
a show. Yes, for the prank? Yes, which one?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The fire?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
The fire?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Oh yeah, Justin called me.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
He's like, no, Ashley, I actually think I'm going to certified.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I just heard it. Yeah. And then and then the
best is I replaced all of them in my whole house,
and I it's good, which takes time. You got to
pull them down. It's a whole thing. Yeah, so I
replaced them all. I kid, you not replaced them all.
I was like, what's crazy? Hold on, yeah, I sat down.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
What's crazy is like that's how he drew it up.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Like in his vision board.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It was you would go home, you would freak out,
you would exchange the batteries.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
And all of them.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Then you would sit down, take a deep breath and
hear it again.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's well. Actually, that's why I made the Top Moments.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Yeah, great accomplishment. Ally on vacation, Yes, have a great vacation. Okay, bye, guys,
thank you for joining. I really appreciate it. Have fun.
How the hell they get vacation on a Wednesday? All right,
what about me? We got two more days here together?
But anyway, yeah, today is Wednesday. We have two more
days of vacation coming up Friday the end of Year awards.
(09:29):
Looking forward to that, and also the Talkbacker of the
Year will be named at nine to ten on Friday morning,
so that should be cool from the.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
People justin it's Mo.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
So help me God. If I ever somehow ran into
a troll that leaves those comments, I swear to fucking god.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Geez, how pathetic.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Are those human beings? Get a fucking life. I'd love
to see them try and do what you do. There's
no and you know what, none of those people would
say those things to your face because they're cowards and
they're pieces of shit.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Fuck that, Yeah, talk that talk Mo. Here we go, man,
I want Mo on my team. Well she is on
my team. Well, thank you, mo Thank you very much.
I appreciate that, you know. And she's talking about some
of the bad comments that were online about our show
and about me and all that stuff. And like I
explained before, the one that really hurt my soul, hurt
me deep was the one about my sneakers, because you know,
(10:28):
I'm a big sneaker guy and I had these special
sneakers that I was saving for a big event. I
was so excited putting them on, wearing them, and then
they were shitting on them on Facebook, saying that they
belonged from the eighties. I'm like, what the hell is that?
Bud Shout out to you, Mo, Hey.
Speaker 10 (10:44):
Justin, I just listened to your after show podcast about
the jingle Ball Show and all the haters out there,
and I just wanted to say, you are doing a
great job. Everybode at the show is doing an awesome job.
I love listening to you guys. Listened since I was
a kid. I'm forty and hate is gonna hate, So
(11:05):
keep doing what you're doing. There's a bunch of people
that love you and think you guys are doing awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, and I appreciate that too. Thank you very much,
and listen. I didn't make that podcast to like get
everybody on my team or whatever. I was literally literally
just venting because you know, it bothered me. It bothers me.
Not it's bothering when people say things like with no repercussions,
you know what I mean, they say hurtful things to people,
(11:32):
and I think in today's world there's just no there's
no room for that, and it's so childish. Like my son,
he's in third grade, he deals with that, you know,
kids saying things to other kids, making fun of things
they're wearing. You know, I went through it. I'm sure
you did too in school. But these are grown ass adults,
you know, writing hurtful things online, which, like I said before,
(11:54):
I would never say that to any of our faces,
not just me, to any of us, you know. So
I mean, ippreciate, I appreciate the support. Yeah, it hasn't
been easy, but it's been an adjustment. It is what
it is. There was a change, like they just canceled
the entire morning show on Hot ninety seven, long standing
hip hop morning show Ebro in the Morning, gone on
a Friday, you know, and then they put funck Master
(12:17):
Flex who's been on in the afternoons or nights forever.
They put him on in the morning, and I was
watching all the videos of people being like, what the
hell is this? You know, it's just one of those
things that sucks. But you know, I get it. People
listen to the show now and they hear us, you know,
talking and laughing, and they're like, well, what about whatever.
Like I said before, it's not like they came to
us and they were like, hey, justin Billy, Lisa, we're
(12:40):
thinking about making this change. What do you think about it?
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
The fucking show ended and they were like, boom, this
is how it is. Now. Move forward. We have our
reasons why we're doing it. Now, move forward.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I'm like, okay, that's what we do. And by the way,
at the end of the day, I always follow the
same same philosophy, right, which is I just show up,
I do my job. I treat people with respect, I
show up on time, I get all my work done
and more because I think that's what makes helps make
me successful. You know. You know, I do a lot
(13:15):
of stuff that's well known, right, and that's kind of
how I built my career. You know, I've talked about
getting in here as an intern, and the impossibility of
getting a job here, even part time, was not attainable.
I was told that, and I kept going, and I
kept going, and I had faith that it would happen.
And then I got part time. And then I was
told that full time would never happen in radio because
(13:37):
of the state of it, and you you're too late, justin.
And then that happened. And then I was told getting
a contract would never happen, and I was like, I'm
gonna keep going. And I learned everything that I could,
and I became good at doing multiple things. So any
of us can get fired, any of us can get
let go at any time. But I just know if
(14:00):
if that comes for me, they're going to have to
replace me with multiple people, which could probably cost them
more money. And you know that doesn't mean I'm safe
or anything. I'm just saying when I look at my
workload on things that I'm doing, which I love doing
by the way I've been doing it forever, it's like, God,
I do a lot of stuff, you know what I mean.
It's it's actually mind boggling, but I love doing it.
(14:23):
That's the thing. I'm passionate about it. And so they
always say, find what you love and you'll never work
a day in your life. I love that quote.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
Justin just wanted to drop a message real quick. I
saw some of those comments you were talking about on
the photos, you know, wish when he was here in
some other nasty comments. Man, people just got to get
over the whole thing. She's not there, she's gone, Get
over it, move on on to the next.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
If you want to.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Miss her so much, then go follow her on social media.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Man.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
At the end of the day, you guys got a
job to do, and you've been doing a great job,
so screw the haters.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, thanks Brian. Brian was our first Talkbacker of the
Year winner. That was like three years ago, I think.
And what he did was he did the whole, uh Fred,
When he fred that whole you might remember he left
talk backs all the time about it. Whoa whoa, whoa, Fred,
So shout out to him and yeah, it's it is
what it is. But I will say, shout out to Winny.
(15:13):
She has a podcast. So that's my other thing. If
you are so upset with our show for not having
her on the show anymore, that's okay. She has a
podcast which you can go listen to. You can subscribe
to it, you can pay the money to listen to it,
and she has new episodes I think once a week
that you can go listen to and get you Winny fixed,
like turn us off. I shouldn't say that, because you
(15:36):
know we want you to listen. It's all about how
many listeners we have, and that's important in the radio business.
But not if you're gonna leave nasty comments. If you're
gonna leave nasty comments, just turn it off. It's okay
if you think. What if you think something, you don't
have to say it right, Sarah.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Okay, I'm calling myself Sarah the therapist now because I am
a therapist, but I always annoyingly say it, and so
many talk about DMS tither but listening to you saying
like the whole pause before you speak, like yes, that
is what I preached so many of my clients, poor kids,
(16:12):
all the time, and clearly it works.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, it's good you teach it to kids, Sarah. I
learned that when I got clean. Honestly, it's the pause
between the thought and the action, and that was related
to when you're getting clean, not picking up right. So
it's an obsessive and compulsive disease. You get the thought
and you immediately act on it and you have to
do it. And in recovery you learn about taking that pause,
(16:37):
the pause between the thought and the action. So you
have the thought I want to use instead of doing it,
you pause, think about it, play the tape through. Right,
that's kind of like a recovery thing. You play the
tape through. Okay, if I am to do this, what's
on the other side, what's going to happen? What's the
result going to be? And when you think about it,
(16:58):
you know what the result's going to be. It's going
to be death. It's going to be detoks, it's going
to be jail, it's gonna be homelessness, it's gonna be
all the stuff that you just got out of. So
that's where you have to have that pause to be like,
I don't want to do that, call someone for help.
So that's where I got that from. But that's great,
you know, and I teach my son that too, you know,
because he's got a lot of the characteristics that I have.
(17:20):
It's actually really scary, you know, he's got a lot
of that impulsive you know, can't control himself at times,
thing going on, So you know, that kind of worries
me a lot, but you know, it is what it.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Is, justin you are so impressive, and I'm sure there
are so many people that are so proud of you.
I don't know you from a home in them all
just listening to you on the on the radio. Please
please do not let these a holes pull you down.
You are wonderful and people are crazy. That's why a
(17:56):
lot of stars don't even read a comment. Not that
you're not star, but you.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Know what I mean, definitely not a star. And thank
you for that. I appreciate that. I appreciate those words,
and thank you for not calling me an elitist. That
was the other comment that I was talking about the
other day. They said I was an elitist because I
had asana, which is like insane to me. You know,
like my net worth. My net worth is like god,
three thousand dollars. I don't know, maybe it's a little
(18:21):
bit more than that. But I don't have a lot
of money. I just learned how to save money. Four
years ago. I had nothing. I was living paycheck to paycheck.
You know, I don't have Billy Costa money and by
the way, Billy Costa, you know he has money now.
He's worked his whole life to get that. He's worked
multiple jobs, still does to get to where he's at.
(18:42):
So I don't know, people are crazy, but shout out
to you guys. I love you so much. I love
doing this podcast. I know there's been a lot of
changes since the podcast started, but you guys have hung
in there and it really really makes me feel good.
It warms my heart and I'm appreciative. You know. I
like doing this podcast every day. I like the format
(19:02):
of it where you know, I can have guests on
sometimes or sometimes it's just me talking or both. You know,
I had Santi and Ashley in here and then they
left and now it's just me kind of catching up.
So leave a talk back. I will play them. I
promise it might not be the next podcast after you
leave it, but I promise I will play it. I
love to hear from you guys, and yeah, that's about it.
(19:23):
Tomorrow Friday, I'll do my best to jump on no
promises with a lot of like finishing touch stuff that
we have to do today and tomorrow, so I'll do
my best. I love you guys. Have an awesome day
All right, here we go. The after show podcast is on,

of the night.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Boring Ashley, just about the same.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I mean, at least for you, you're gonna be able
to sleep. Probably it'll seven, seven thirty, maybe even eight.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That's right, because I don't have young kids that wake me.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Year. Yeah, I'll be up at six, but you know what,
six is better than three thirty, So I'll take that
any day. And let's be honest, I'll be drunk for
more than half. This's that's the real truth of it all.
I actually thought to myself, maybe I'll start smoking.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Wouldn't like smoking cigarettes, Yeah, like a.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
New port or something.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's disgusting, but like that's how stressed most mothers are
at this point time. I mean, my daughter's birthday is tomorrow,
then you got Christmas. It's like I might rip a
butt and black out.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Survival people, they say that's a new thing now with
young people. They don't smoke cigarettes full time, only when
they drink.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah right, Yeah, that's when my cousin used to rip them.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, smokers, you know what I used to do. And
I couldn't afford cigarettes because I was on drugs. So
at the Maulden Courthouse down the street, they had the
ashtray was outside was just sand, and so the lawyers
would come out to the smoke and they would take
a couple of puffs and they would just stick it
in the sand. But they wouldn't like, you know, crunch
them up. So I would just go there and wait,
(01:48):
and then when they'd all go inside for court, I'd
go in and I'd take all the snipes and I'd
put them in an empty cigarette box. And then I
had like half smoke to go.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You're like variety camels if the drugs and that didn't
kill this man.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Oh est in some of the butts had lipstick on them.
Get spirits, oh my. And then and then also so
I would be a middleman for a lot of people
that wanted drugs, right, So say they wanted fifty bucks worth,
they'd give me the money and I'd go meet the guy.
(02:25):
And it got to a point where I would I
would short them five dollars so I could buy myself cigarettes. Yeah.
That eventually they were like, We're not coming to see
you unless you have the whole They caught onto it. Yeah,
you know what I mean. Cigarettes were like a big
deal when I was. When I was, they really were.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I mean think about it when we were young, our age.
I mean, I'm going to be forty next year. Like
there were cigarette commercials twenty four to seven. I think
about that.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Camel Yeah, Camel Joe, Camel Joe Joe, like the leather r.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Right, and then they started the Dare program and shit
got real or.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The Marlboro Miles or the Marble whatever they would call.
You could get gifts.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
All those called I don't know, like the like the man,
like the cowboy.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I can distinctly like right now, smell my grandfather's Mercedes,
all leather with the ashtray in the middle, always filled.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Like I can't.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I could put myself right back in that car right now.
I'm like ten yep, and he's ripping butts right into
the ashtray, right in the car, Like they didn't make
cars without ashtrays.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh, I know. I have memories of being in the
back seat and the windows being up in them, smoking
my pack absolutely like crack a window.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
No, no, that was like the way, that was nothingness.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I love tobacco, I actually do. I don't do it
a lot just because cancer. I smoked the cars in
the summer, But like I love chewing tobacco.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
What about like just the nicotine pouches or whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I've tried them. I don't love those because I don't
want to hold it in my lip. But baseball, I
was chewing tobacco like all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's a big baseball thing.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
My first job, I was a snitch. Did I ever
tell you this?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I would tell you this your first job, you were imagine.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
My life story, right, I went into this life of like,
cryme snitch, I'm not a rat. But my first job
was I was twelve years old and I was bigger,
so I looked older. And my mom's friend worked for
the Department of Public Health in Lynn, Massachusetts. Santi's favorite place.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Worst place in America.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay, So she came to my mom and said, hey,
would justin be willing to help me out on some saturdays.
I'll pay him money. I was like, okay. So she
would drive me around to all the stores in Lynda
bodega's and she would send me in with money to
buy cigarettes. And so I go in and try to
buy them. If they would sell, and if they carded me,
I would go out and we'd go to the next door.
But if they sold to me, I'd come out give
her the cigarettes, and then she would go right in
(04:32):
there with like a citation and a fucking fine. She
shut them down. Why and some stores sold them to me.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You're a fucking nark.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, yeah, see, but I was even good with that cash.
Fifty bucks. It's really good.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
That's a that's a very interesting tale. I never knew that.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, no more cigarette stuff for me. My mother in
law is a big smoker, down down the down lash.
She's probably twice two a day.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And she and she doesn't she you know, most smokers,
they like knock the ash off.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
She doesn't.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I had a full on conversation with her once the
ash was the length of the cigarette and there was
like a little millimeter left of actual sig. I'm like,
I don't even know how she was holding it. Like
it was the craziest thing I'd ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, it's really. It bothers me because it's sad, But
I don't know. I mean, my friend's mother was eighty eight.
She just passed away, and she smoked her whole life.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
They told my grandfather, you smoke one more cigarette, we're
cutting a hole in your throat. You're gonna be like
the guy in the commercial with a little hole in
your throat. To know what he said, cut the whole,
cut the whole, dead ass.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
He was like, cut the hole.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Like people that age sometimes they get to the point
where they like they've lived and they're gonna do whatever
the fuck they want.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, they don't care. But You'm like vaping now, which
like is that also can kill you? It came but
it's not as bad, I think. So she did vape
for six months several years ago. We got her on
the vape and her cough went away within two weeks.
It used to have made her cough. She had. Oh she
has a wicked smoker's cough like forever like. Yeah, she
has co op d.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
You know about the smokers cough.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I haven't heard the smokers cough. She peas a little
when she coughs.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Honestly, that's the kids you do to, right, My wife does.
Oh yeah, I pee when I cough. Sometimes when I jump,
she holds, She holds her I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, well she when she sneezes.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We all got to tighten our pelvic floor.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Is that what that is? Wow?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
This is We've learned so much here, We've gotten around.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
This is.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
This is what the after show is about. It's free balling.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
My wife does not be when she colls because she had.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
A c section. Ah, but Gen did too. She had
to them me she got.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Something else going on. Yeah, mine were vaginal.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You should give that area like a break and that
might be our cue.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
That might be r Q. Because you don't want to
go down this path.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Get it.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Let's end with this because we're leaving and we're going
on vacation. I know the two gifts you had planned
on getting your wife.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But they can't.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
They can't like that creep sex game.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hey hey, hey, the package came and she took it in.
I don't think she looked at that. Maybe she did,
but it's said on the top sip or sin.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Well, if she listened to our show, shared knew that
thing was coming, so she'll probably have to pretend to
be surprised. Did you start writing in the journal?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh, the journal came. No, not yet. I'm gonna wait
till next week when I'm like, calm down.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I want to get going on that.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And I have to think about it. You know what
I'm going to answer for each one?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Do you know about the book? Yeah? Yeah, it's like
all the reasons why I love you. You should try this?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Okay yeah yeah, and then yeah, but you know what,
don't let him. Don't let him talk down to you
about things, because I don't know if you have seen
my Instagram today. No, but he spent twenty dollars on
a laser pointer.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Okay, I have those.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That is no, No, you don't have this it's different.
Maybe you do. The one he has is different shapes
of penises. So here I am. I'm trying to give
the news, like talk about serious stuff and I have
a penis on my cheek.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Hold on is this are there any Oh god, twenty dollar?
Where did you find that TikTok talk shop?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
By the way, Like I'm forty five?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, Like it's sad. Santy did make the top five
moments of the end of the year for the least
a show. Yes, for the prank? Yes, which one?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The fire?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
The fire?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Oh yeah, Justin called me.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
He's like, no, Ashley, I actually think I'm going to certified.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I just heard it. Yeah. And then and then the
best is I replaced all of them in my whole house,
and I it's good, which takes time. You got to
pull them down. It's a whole thing. Yeah, so I
replaced them all. I kid, you not replaced them all.
I was like, what's crazy? Hold on, yeah, I sat down.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
What's crazy is like that's how he drew it up.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Like in his vision board.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It was you would go home, you would freak out,
you would exchange the batteries.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
And all of them.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Then you would sit down, take a deep breath and
hear it again.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's well. Actually, that's why I made the Top Moments.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Yeah, great accomplishment. Ally on vacation, Yes, have a great vacation. Okay, bye, guys,
thank you for joining. I really appreciate it. Have fun.
How the hell they get vacation on a Wednesday? All right,
what about me? We got two more days here together?
But anyway, yeah, today is Wednesday. We have two more
days of vacation coming up Friday the end of Year awards.
(09:29):
Looking forward to that, and also the Talkbacker of the
Year will be named at nine to ten on Friday morning,
so that should be cool from the.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
People justin it's Mo.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
So help me God. If I ever somehow ran into
a troll that leaves those comments, I swear to fucking god.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Geez, how pathetic.
Speaker 9 (09:52):
Are those human beings? Get a fucking life. I'd love
to see them try and do what you do. There's
no and you know what, none of those people would
say those things to your face because they're cowards and
they're pieces of shit.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Fuck that, Yeah, talk that talk Mo. Here we go, man,
I want Mo on my team. Well she is on
my team. Well, thank you, mo Thank you very much.
I appreciate that, you know. And she's talking about some
of the bad comments that were online about our show
and about me and all that stuff. And like I
explained before, the one that really hurt my soul, hurt
me deep was the one about my sneakers, because you know,
(10:28):
I'm a big sneaker guy and I had these special
sneakers that I was saving for a big event. I
was so excited putting them on, wearing them, and then
they were shitting on them on Facebook, saying that they
belonged from the eighties. I'm like, what the hell is that?
Bud Shout out to you, Mo, Hey.
Speaker 10 (10:44):
Justin, I just listened to your after show podcast about
the jingle Ball Show and all the haters out there,
and I just wanted to say, you are doing a
great job. Everybode at the show is doing an awesome job.
I love listening to you guys. Listened since I was
a kid. I'm forty and hate is gonna hate, So
(11:05):
keep doing what you're doing. There's a bunch of people
that love you and think you guys are doing awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, and I appreciate that too. Thank you very much,
and listen. I didn't make that podcast to like get
everybody on my team or whatever. I was literally literally
just venting because you know, it bothered me. It bothers me.
Not it's bothering when people say things like with no repercussions,
you know what I mean, they say hurtful things to people,
(11:32):
and I think in today's world there's just no there's
no room for that, and it's so childish. Like my son,
he's in third grade, he deals with that, you know,
kids saying things to other kids, making fun of things
they're wearing. You know, I went through it. I'm sure
you did too in school. But these are grown ass adults,
you know, writing hurtful things online, which, like I said before,
(11:54):
I would never say that to any of our faces,
not just me, to any of us, you know. So
I mean, ippreciate, I appreciate the support. Yeah, it hasn't
been easy, but it's been an adjustment. It is what
it is. There was a change, like they just canceled
the entire morning show on Hot ninety seven, long standing
hip hop morning show Ebro in the Morning, gone on
a Friday, you know, and then they put funck Master
(12:17):
Flex who's been on in the afternoons or nights forever.
They put him on in the morning, and I was
watching all the videos of people being like, what the
hell is this? You know, it's just one of those
things that sucks. But you know, I get it. People
listen to the show now and they hear us, you know,
talking and laughing, and they're like, well, what about whatever.
Like I said before, it's not like they came to
us and they were like, hey, justin Billy, Lisa, we're
(12:40):
thinking about making this change. What do you think about it?
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
The fucking show ended and they were like, boom, this
is how it is. Now. Move forward. We have our
reasons why we're doing it. Now, move forward.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I'm like, okay, that's what we do. And by the way,
at the end of the day, I always follow the
same same philosophy, right, which is I just show up,
I do my job. I treat people with respect, I
show up on time, I get all my work done
and more because I think that's what makes helps make
me successful. You know. You know, I do a lot
(13:15):
of stuff that's well known, right, and that's kind of
how I built my career. You know, I've talked about
getting in here as an intern, and the impossibility of
getting a job here, even part time, was not attainable.
I was told that, and I kept going, and I
kept going, and I had faith that it would happen.
And then I got part time. And then I was
told that full time would never happen in radio because
(13:37):
of the state of it, and you you're too late, justin.
And then that happened. And then I was told getting
a contract would never happen, and I was like, I'm
gonna keep going. And I learned everything that I could,
and I became good at doing multiple things. So any
of us can get fired, any of us can get
let go at any time. But I just know if
(14:00):
if that comes for me, they're going to have to
replace me with multiple people, which could probably cost them
more money. And you know that doesn't mean I'm safe
or anything. I'm just saying when I look at my
workload on things that I'm doing, which I love doing
by the way I've been doing it forever, it's like, God,
I do a lot of stuff, you know what I mean.
It's it's actually mind boggling, but I love doing it.
(14:23):
That's the thing. I'm passionate about it. And so they
always say, find what you love and you'll never work
a day in your life. I love that quote.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
Justin just wanted to drop a message real quick. I
saw some of those comments you were talking about on
the photos, you know, wish when he was here in
some other nasty comments. Man, people just got to get
over the whole thing. She's not there, she's gone, Get
over it, move on on to the next.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
If you want to.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Miss her so much, then go follow her on social media.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Man.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
At the end of the day, you guys got a
job to do, and you've been doing a great job,
so screw the haters.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, thanks Brian. Brian was our first Talkbacker of the
Year winner. That was like three years ago, I think.
And what he did was he did the whole, uh Fred,
When he fred that whole you might remember he left
talk backs all the time about it. Whoa whoa, whoa, Fred,
So shout out to him and yeah, it's it is
what it is. But I will say, shout out to Winny.
(15:13):
She has a podcast. So that's my other thing. If
you are so upset with our show for not having
her on the show anymore, that's okay. She has a
podcast which you can go listen to. You can subscribe
to it, you can pay the money to listen to it,
and she has new episodes I think once a week
that you can go listen to and get you Winny fixed,
like turn us off. I shouldn't say that, because you
(15:36):
know we want you to listen. It's all about how
many listeners we have, and that's important in the radio business.
But not if you're gonna leave nasty comments. If you're
gonna leave nasty comments, just turn it off. It's okay
if you think. What if you think something, you don't
have to say it right, Sarah.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Okay, I'm calling myself Sarah the therapist now because I am
a therapist, but I always annoyingly say it, and so
many talk about DMS tither but listening to you saying
like the whole pause before you speak, like yes, that
is what I preached so many of my clients, poor kids,
(16:12):
all the time, and clearly it works.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, it's good you teach it to kids, Sarah. I
learned that when I got clean. Honestly, it's the pause
between the thought and the action, and that was related
to when you're getting clean, not picking up right. So
it's an obsessive and compulsive disease. You get the thought
and you immediately act on it and you have to
do it. And in recovery you learn about taking that pause,
(16:37):
the pause between the thought and the action. So you
have the thought I want to use instead of doing it,
you pause, think about it, play the tape through. Right,
that's kind of like a recovery thing. You play the
tape through. Okay, if I am to do this, what's
on the other side, what's going to happen? What's the
result going to be? And when you think about it,
(16:58):
you know what the result's going to be. It's going
to be death. It's going to be detoks, it's going
to be jail, it's gonna be homelessness, it's gonna be
all the stuff that you just got out of. So
that's where you have to have that pause to be like,
I don't want to do that, call someone for help.
So that's where I got that from. But that's great,
you know, and I teach my son that too, you know,
because he's got a lot of the characteristics that I have.
(17:20):
It's actually really scary, you know, he's got a lot
of that impulsive you know, can't control himself at times,
thing going on, So you know, that kind of worries
me a lot, but you know, it is what it.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Is, justin you are so impressive, and I'm sure there
are so many people that are so proud of you.
I don't know you from a home in them all
just listening to you on the on the radio. Please
please do not let these a holes pull you down.
You are wonderful and people are crazy. That's why a
(17:56):
lot of stars don't even read a comment. Not that
you're not star, but you.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Know what I mean, definitely not a star. And thank
you for that. I appreciate that. I appreciate those words,
and thank you for not calling me an elitist. That
was the other comment that I was talking about the
other day. They said I was an elitist because I
had asana, which is like insane to me. You know,
like my net worth. My net worth is like god,
three thousand dollars. I don't know, maybe it's a little
(18:21):
bit more than that. But I don't have a lot
of money. I just learned how to save money. Four
years ago. I had nothing. I was living paycheck to paycheck.
You know, I don't have Billy Costa money and by
the way, Billy Costa, you know he has money now.
He's worked his whole life to get that. He's worked
multiple jobs, still does to get to where he's at.
(18:42):
So I don't know, people are crazy, but shout out
to you guys. I love you so much. I love
doing this podcast. I know there's been a lot of
changes since the podcast started, but you guys have hung
in there and it really really makes me feel good.
It warms my heart and I'm appreciative. You know. I
like doing this podcast every day. I like the format
(19:02):
of it where you know, I can have guests on
sometimes or sometimes it's just me talking or both. You know,
I had Santi and Ashley in here and then they
left and now it's just me kind of catching up.
So leave a talk back. I will play them. I
promise it might not be the next podcast after you
leave it, but I promise I will play it. I
love to hear from you guys, and yeah, that's about it.
(19:23):
Tomorrow Friday, I'll do my best to jump on no
promises with a lot of like finishing touch stuff that
we have to do today and tomorrow, so I'll do
my best. I love you guys. Have an awesome day
