okay. So the awkward moment camewhen she read about in the newspaper or
read it online and then emailed meand say, hey, I just want
(05:05):
to say sorry to hear what happened. I need to I have so many
questions about how that happened. Uh, can we talk about it on air?
What like when you get when ashow gets canceled? Oh? Yeah,
can we talk about that? Yeah? Yeah, of course. Okay,
So when that happened, right,how does it jet presentage? Because
obviously you weren't fired. Some peopleget fired, but actually none of you
(05:28):
guys, none of us were fired. So how did they They had a
meeting with you guys, and theysaid they came in and they got They
got each of us individually, Frankieand Ashley. First they took Frankie out,
then they took then they then theyat the same time they brought Ashley
out and put them in different roomsand then simultaneously told them what happened,
and then left them alone and thencame and got me, brought me in
(05:51):
and told me what was going on. But why can they not just tell
you all together? That's a goodquestion. I'm not sure. And when
and what they say to you likewe're gonna go in a different direction.
Yep. Yeah. It was veryvery cut and dry. They were syndicating
the show, that the show wasnot working, and they were going in
a different direction, and they weregoing to syndicate the Breakfast Club National,
(06:14):
a national hip hop program. Andto me, they said, we want
you to, uh, you know, run the board on that. Did
you felt you got demoted? Ohmy god? And this is the best
thing about radio. And I don'tblame anybody that any of the higher ups
up. This is their job.But they tried to sell it to me
like it was a promotion. Oh, you're gonna be You're gonna be a
(06:34):
national producer for a national broadcast,as if I'm going to be producing the
actual Breakfast Club. No, I'ma board operator, right, So then
my job was to put the showon the air every day and then also
send Djnby and Charlottamagne Boston stuff yeathat they could record one one segment to
(06:55):
send back. It was a painin the ass and it sucked, man,
and it it wouldn't imagine. Howdid you I did that for probably
not long right, probably six monthsin that time, maybe upmost a year.
But in that time, while Iwas running the board, the same
person that can the show, theboss that that gave me the you know,
(07:16):
the the board up gig came andsaid, the breakfast club job is
opening producer in New York. Wouldyou want to move to New York?
And I said maybe. I talkedto my wife and Nanni and they said
she was gonna come. Yeah,because this is right when my son was
born. So we think about thinkabout how life works. Right. We
looked at places to live at apartments. I mean, we were legit going
(07:40):
to live in Jersey. And Iwent and interviewed. It went great.
It looked like I was going toget the position. They told me the
salary I remember told me, yeah, it was like one hundred and fifty,
one hundred and seventy and the bestis the way they said it.
Okay, now now it's New York. But at the end of the interview,
he said to me any other questions. And I paused and then said
(08:03):
no, I think we're good andhe said, no, tell me,
what did you have another question timeme? And I said, he said
what is it? Oh? Thesalary? And I go yeah, and
he goes, yeah, I thinkit's I think it's like one eighty.
I think he said one eighty.And you were like, okay, I
was like a thousand, eight thousand. But it is New York, so
(08:24):
that's much different. I didn't getthe job, so thank god, and
that was depressing. Now this isa very dark time in my radio career
because now I'm running the board.There's no future in that. I don't
care what they tell you. Youcan be you can write all the copy
you want, but you're not.I am a producer. I want to
be in on a show like Iam now. Yeah, and then I
ended up getting a job with MattSo that's interesting, right, Yeah,
(08:46):
I know how they fired me.Yeah. But ri Ip that had a
walker. Yeah. I have neverheard great things about her though. Well
she you know, she she wasthe person man that that Billy would call
for tickets. You know, shewas the you know, she's high up
in the Celtist organization. So cancersucks. Fuck cancer, say fuck cancer,
fuck it, fuck cancer cancer.So um, yeah, we had
(09:09):
a good show today when he wasa little bit moody early on because of
her bum leg. So she says, whoa, but you know, well
there's other things going on. Andthen you went and you posted, you
doubled down and posted I posted thatlast night, a picture of Deuce.
I posted that last night. Ohyou did, yeah, I posted it
at ten thirty last night. Ohokay, yeah, and then I doubled
(09:31):
down today at the show. Yeah, that dude shouldn't be there that late.
Bro. It's like I understood ifyou were a kid and your dad.
Bro, he's fucking five, hewon't remember it. I'm sorry,
Like this is he This has giventhis kid of false sense of entitlement.
I'm sorry it is. And nextyear when he's in kindergarten, what are
you gonna do? Have him showup late to class because he was update
(09:52):
wilching your daddy, Like, well, how do you know he wasn't upset
because they lost, h were losing. He looks exhausted. He looks like
a tired ask kid, that's whathe looks like. Okay, I'm sorry,
I'm not a parent. Whoever calledme a Karen? But it's just
common sense. That's my favorite guyever the crew without a kid. He's
(10:13):
trying to tell other people how toraise the kid. Maybe what should change
your name to? Karen? No, it's not about how to raise his
kid. It's about maybe not everygame he has to come to. And
the thing is, this is aspecial Okay, it's the playoffs. That's
fucking fine, right. He probablycould have won and gone to the next
round. That's cool. But he'sat every other fucking game, So what's
special about this one? They wereall over you today. I don't care.
(10:33):
Just wondering if Whinnie just asked ifthe Patriots should get a qualified quarterback,
what about a qualified producercer? Ilove it everybody worked up. I
need you know what, someone needsto do it on the show, and
I don't want it to be me. Listen, I always say what everyone
else is fucking thinking, and noone wants to say it. All right,
(10:56):
and you know that for a fact. How many times have I said
something that all four much we're thinking, but the other three of you didn't
want to say it right? No, you're you're right you're you're right,
You're right, but you know there'sa you know, there's I'm not saying
you crossed any line today, butyou know you gotta be careful. There's
a line. I know. ButI don't feel like I ever crossed the
line. I don't. I don'tcome at anyone for their looks or their
(11:16):
you know, their background, orculturally that they look like there's color of
their skin. I come at youfor your character. If you're a shitty
person or you do stupid shit,I'm gonna call you out on it.
You know what. I not toI'm not comparing you to this person at
all. But I had this thoughton the Megan Trainer discussion yesterday. No
(11:37):
I'm not saying you would ever saythat, Okay, but I had this
thought like I could picture this happeningto Winnie. You know what you're saying,
I kind of had. I kindof set it off hand. But
the thing was, the thing aboutus, I think is that first all,
I don't believe. I don't.I didn't believe what she was saying,
So I only say what I believe, right, And I feel like
I have a pretty good um beliefsystem that I naturally, don't say things
(12:01):
that are too offensive to like thatpoint, you know what I mean.
I say things that people might takewrong or whatever, but I'm never like
offensive in that way. Maybe.And also, doing live radio is a
legit skill, and she didn't doshe doesn't do live stuff we're doing,
like, yeah, she does liveinterviews like what once a week or once
every so often. We do liveradio every fucking day. And you kind
(12:24):
of train yourself subconsciously to not getyourself canceled every day, right, don't
you think? Right, well,you're one comment away from being canceled.
Oh I am, Yeah, Iam. I'm always afraid of that.
Yeah. People were dming me abouther dad that he was a music teacher.
Gary. Yeah, really nice guy, true, true, No,
they were a jeweler though too,so I know, but he was a
(12:46):
music teacher. I'm gonna look itup while we're on here. Now.
He's so nice. I loved him. He was cool, ask guy Gary.
Yeah, And he got her,he got her the call in,
I know, and he came andwe had a great combo with him,
and he was awesome and so GaryTraynor served on the Nantucket Music Center board.
Um. Yeah, it looks likehe was an educator. Yeah,
(13:16):
that's weird that she would say that, isn't it. How'd you think?
But it was more okay, okay, So maybe she misspoke and was trying
to say fuck those teachers, right, But then when she listened to it
back, wouldn't she be like,oh shit, I said fuck teachers,
not fuck those tea you know whatI mean. Clearly she didn't think that
(13:37):
she said something bad. I'm readingabout it now. Oh yeah, So
