Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everybody, what's happening. I'm justin. It is the After
Show podcast. It is a Tuesday, November fourth. Thank you
for listening. It's just me today, no guests. I did
not schedule anybody today because if you're a long time
listener of this podcast, you know that we have meetings
on Tuesdays, and I want to be able to give
people as much time as possible, or if they can
only commit on Tuesdays, kind of make a plan to
(00:23):
change the schedule. I do have McCabe coming in this week,
also Power of Recovery, Maddie and Damon. That's gonna be
fun next week. And yeah, some other people lined up
as well. I hope everyone like Santa yesterday. I thought
he was really good. He's a great friend of mine,
great mentor. I got some good feedback from that from
you guys, so thank you very much. I do like
(00:45):
this format though, this kind of loose, you know, non interview,
just kind of shooting the shit type of format. So
I don't know, I'm excited to see where it's after
show goes. You know, I was kind of unfamiliar with
it or not sure where to go because there's been
some changes with this thing, you guys know that you know,
started with one person and Winnie and then she was
(01:06):
gone and now it's just me. But I think we
could do something fun, maybe talk to some listeners that
would be That would be good too. I got some
inquiries on that, but I don't know. S. I'll tell
you guys what's going on.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Justin. This is Clay. I met you a couple of
years ago at Staples, but I just want to say,
you know, I really appreciate you still doing the app
the show. You know, it means a lot, especially for
me who listens on a daily basis, And I just
feel bad that, you know, you have to explain yourself
to these people with that how that Winny's gone, and
I feel like that's not necessary, but I get it
may here in a tough place. But just know you
(01:37):
are appreciated and we do, you know, appreciate the hard
work you do, and we do miss Winny. By the
same time, you keep doing your thing, man, go stop
the hustle.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh man, Clay. I remember meeting Clay way back, was
it with I forget where it was, maybe oh Staples,
I think, yeah, I remember. Thank you, Clay, Thank you
for reaching out and yeah, man, it's it's fine. You know,
there is some rough moments or whatever. I feel like
it was dying down, but now you know this. You
know when he's been posting some things on our Instagram
(02:05):
just like updates or what not, updates but whatever. So
it's been ramping up again. But it's all good man.
You know, It's like life goes on for everybody. It's
just it's just one of those things we gotta we
got to continue on. And I've said it before, I'll
say it again. You know, it's kind of you learn
this in entertainment, right show biz. That's saying that the
show goes on. It's it's that's how it really is.
(02:28):
You know, we have this show here and when there's
a change, the show still goes on. You know, you
heard me talking to Santa yesterday about stuff that we
went through. And I remember that, man. I remember I
was so low in the totem pole, but these big
changes happened, and I remember thinking the same thing, like
how are people going to react to this? And they
were pissed. They were pissed for sure. You know, I
(02:49):
still get comments, I still get the talkbacks every day. People,
you know, angry or whatever, which I don't really understand
the you know, leaving a talkback in anger, because you
have to be listening to the show to leave the
talk pack. So are you just like opening the app
because you're angry? Are you listening and not hearing what
you want? So then you leave a talkback? I'm not sure.
(03:10):
I mean, whatever it is, what it is, life goes on.
I mean, we all got problems. I got problems. I
got problems at home. Man. You know, I got a
family just like you probably do. You know, it's hard
raising kids. It's not easy. You know. I have two kids,
eight and three. My eight year old abel Is. I
love him to death. He's the best kid ever, but
he has his own issues. And you know what, parenting
is hard no matter when it is, but especially in
(03:32):
twenty twenty five with technology in raising them in the
digital age. That's kind of what's going on now, is
you know he you know, he talks to his friends
on messenger and that causes problems and then he's on
roadblocks and we monitor it, but things still get through. Man,
it's a wild world, so much different. Last night, my
friend Mike came over. He comes over regularly. To do
(03:54):
the sauna with me, and he said, last night, you know,
because I was talking to Able about some things whatever,
and he's like, Wow, think about how we grew up
versus how they're growing up. When we grew up, there
was no technology. I mean, there were cell phones as
I got older. When I was younger, when I was
eight years old, there were no cell phones. There was
no technology. But now that's all it is. Everything is technology.
(04:16):
It's just wild. And he's playing this game on roadblocks.
It's called Steal Brain Rot. It's like the hot game
for kids. And the whole point of the game, are
you ready for this? Is to steal other people's stuff.
So what's happening, This is what I'm alluding to the issues.
What's happening is he's playing these game with his friends
(04:37):
and he's either stealing their stuff or they're stealing his stuff,
and either way they start freaking out. So he stole
the kid down the streets stuff. A while back, that
kid freaked out, a kid's mother called my wife to say, like,
can he give it back? And then Abel stole some
other kids stuff. And then it happened again last night.
Another kid was stealing his stuff and he was crying again.
(05:00):
It's crazy. So I say to my wife, get this
game off of it. I don't want to want them
to play it anymore. But it's the hot game that
all his friends are playing. So yeah, it's just man.
Sometimes about life is about perspective. You learn that after
a while. It's about how you look at things, and
you got to look at like, what really matters most.
You know, obviously for me it's my family, it's my recovery,
(05:24):
all that stuff, you know, my close friends, my job,
my career. But when it comes to people that you know,
are upset and want to write nasty things and boycot
the show and all that stuff, it's like I understand,
But you know what really matters is my kid man,
My kids really matters, as me being a good father,
you know, I was thinking about that recently. You know,
(05:47):
being a father and becoming a parent has taught me
so many things, but one of the top things that
it's kind of taught me is that it gave me
a purpose in life, right, It gave me a meaning.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I remember, before having kids, I would fear death. And
you know, nobody wants to die, right, but I would
think about death and get very scared, like, you know,
is there a heaven? Where am I going to go?
I'm never coming back Infinity. You start going down that
rabbit hole and it's tough to get out of. But
when I had kids, it kind of made how do
I put this, It made dying easier almost in a sense.
(06:22):
I know this is going to sound crazy, but maybe
you'll understand, but it gave me purpose in life. That
my purpose in life was to be a good father
to these children and to raise these children the best
way that I can and to give them the best
life that I can and hope and hope that they
grow up to be good humans that help others and
live a good life and be there for them every
step of the way. And if I can do that,
(06:43):
if I can get that job done when it's my time,
it makes it not that bad because my job has
been done. Does that make sense? I don't know. But
that's the important things in life. It's my kids, it's
my marriage. It's the the attics that are struggle struggling
that I'm trying to help that reach out to help.
You know, it's that addict that you know can't get
(07:05):
a day clean, that legit cannot take the kneel out
of their arm or the crack pipe out of their mouth.
They don't know what to do. And they look at
me and they talk to me and they're like, how
did you do it? And I try to tell them
and help them. That's what matters. That's the important thing.
So it just got to the point where I'm you know,
getting so cut up in these comments or whatever, and
I'm like, is this really important? You know? I know
(07:26):
what we do on this show. I know that the
work that we put in the three of us, it
was the four of us put in together. Now there's
three of us that we show up every day, and
I put my heart and soul into this show. I'm
here at four am before anybody else, putting the whole
show together, trying to giving entertaining show, you know, And
if it gets shipped on, it gets shipped on. Whatever
(07:46):
it is, what it is. But I do my best.
I still show up to work on time. It's the
very basics of life, you know what I mean. I
just that's what I've done the whole time. That's I
said it yesterday with Santy Right, hard work beats talent
in most cases, I am not talented at all. You
may think I am. I don't think I am. But
I'm a hard worker. Yeah. Can you count on me
(08:07):
to get things done? Yeah? Do I put the show first?
Do I put the team first? Is it about the
team and not me? Yes? And I think that's been
the key to my success. So we roll on after
show Army tomorrow. I don't know, McKay, maybe tomorrow. It's
not I'll grab someone else to join me and chop
it up and have some fun. As always, though, you
can leave a talk back on the iHeart app joined
(08:28):
the show and I'll try to play that back for
you guys. All right, have a great day. It's very
windy outside. I keep talking about that because the trees
are blowing outside of my studio. Anyway, Love you guys.
