- 1:06Speaker 4: costume on, but then I couldn't put my headphones on,
- 1:09Speaker 4: so I had to throw it on the floor. So
- 1:10Speaker 4: I had a hat with a net, and I'm dressed
- 1:13Speaker 4: in Safari wear and I was the mosquito wrangler at
- 1:19Speaker 4: the Wicked Night Ball last Saturday at the Salem Waterfront Hotel.
- 1:22Speaker 3: So I figured, you know what, let's make use of
- 1:24Speaker 3: the outfit.
- 1:25Speaker 4: So that's me. But more importantly, yesterday we told you
- 1:31Speaker 4: that Lisa and Justin were going to be dressing together
- 1:34Speaker 4: as a team couples cost them right, And we asked
- 1:38Speaker 4: everybody out there listening, listen, send us some dms, give
- 1:41Speaker 4: us some guesses. What do you think Lisa and Justin
- 1:45Speaker 4: are dressing for for Halloween twenty twenty five? And you've
- 1:48Speaker 4: got some justin?
- 1:49Speaker 7: All right, I'm putting in my vote for Lisa and
- 1:53Speaker 7: Justin's couple's costume. I think Jordaan and Bill Belichick is
- 1:59Speaker 7: a little too like obvious, but if it's that clocket.
- 2:05Speaker 7: My other guest is Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I think you guys pulled that off.
- 2:10Speaker 6: All right, i'd be Tommy Lee. How are you doing
- 2:12Speaker 6: just fine next year?
- 2:13Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure they Bill Belichick and Jordan you considered
- 2:17Speaker 4: that we did?
- 2:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it was on the list.
- 2:20Speaker 6: I'm kind of off the Belichick thing though, Yeah, rather
- 2:23Speaker 6: be Tommy Lee.
- 2:24Speaker 5: I agree, and I think I agree with the talkbacker
- 2:26Speaker 5: I was a little too obvious.
- 2:27Speaker 4: And we also considered or you two also considered Travis
- 2:31Speaker 4: and Taylor and we thought that was a little done.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Yeah, that was one of the guesses too.
- 2:35Speaker 8: Okay, Justin, here's my guess for your couple's costume with Lisa,
- 2:39Speaker 8: and I'm hoping I'm right. I think you guys are
- 2:41Speaker 8: gonna go as Taylor's Weston Travis Kelsey because with her
- 2:44Speaker 8: new album and him the Chiefs finally winning and doing something,
- 2:49Speaker 8: I feel like that would be a good couple for
- 2:51Speaker 8: you guys, and you could pull that off easy, hope.
- 2:53Speaker 2: I'm right now.
- 2:56Speaker 6: You considered it, considered, Yeah, it was on the list.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Yeah, there was several different options here.
- 3:01Speaker 9: Hi, Justin, Hi, Lisa, I'm gonna guess your costumes for Halloween.
- 3:07Speaker 9: I'm guessing Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau. I think you're
- 3:12Speaker 9: gonna look fabulous. I can't wait to see and hear
- 3:16Speaker 9: all about it.
- 3:18Speaker 10: Happy Halloween Boom.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Lisa could pull off Katie Perry. You
- 3:25Speaker 4: couldn't be nerdy.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Enough for Justin to wear a wig, a.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Suit and a wig. Yeah, yeah, that would rod. Yeah, yeah,
- 3:34Speaker 3: that wouldn't work.
- 3:35Speaker 8: Guys, good morning. I think your Halloween costume today is
- 3:38Speaker 8: going to be Hilario.
- 3:41Speaker 3: No no, no, no.
- 3:43Speaker 4: No, that would have been good too from Spain for Hillary.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Yeah, I hit a tree. I had a big fat tree.
- 3:56Speaker 3: He's not dressing up this year.
- 3:58Speaker 6: No, we we decided done something else.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Oh man, did we ever?
- 4:03Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 4:04Speaker 6: This was actually Lisa's idea because we had this story
- 4:07Speaker 6: yesterday dictionary dot COM's word of the year, which is
- 4:14Speaker 6: Lisa and I am her.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Yeah, we came in six seven. Guys.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty easy costume when you're thinking it.
- 4:21Speaker 6: But clever, right, very clever, very clever.
- 4:24Speaker 8: Okay, here's my guest for the couple's costume for Lisa
- 4:28Speaker 8: and Justin.
- 4:29Speaker 10: You're going to be the number six and the number seven.
- 4:32Speaker 10: That's my guess.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Yeah, she got it, she got it.
- 4:36Speaker 6: So we'll have producer Riley track her down and give.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Her amazing good for you talk backer, How did she
- 4:42Speaker 2: see that coming?
- 4:43Speaker 6: I know we talked a lot about six seven this week,
- 4:46Speaker 6: we did, so maybe that's why.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:48Speaker 6: But yeah, you can see the picture on Lisa's instagram
- 4:51Speaker 6: in my instagrams Lisa Donovan one to eight and not

- 7:16Speaker 4: Gotta tell you never would have expected this to be
- 7:19Speaker 4: my lead story in the Entertainment Report this morning, but
- 7:23Speaker 4: it is. Actor Jesse Eisenberg is donating his kidney to
- 7:28Speaker 4: a stranger. He calls it a no brainer and talked
- 7:32Speaker 4: about it on the Today Show.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I'm actually donating my kidney in six weeks. I really am.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Yeah, that's amazing.
- 7:39Speaker 11: What.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why I got like bitten by
- 7:42Speaker 1: the blood donation.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Bo Yeah, I love it. Jump up.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I'm doing an altruistic donation mid December.
- 7:47Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 7:48Speaker 8: One of my best friends had a kidney transplant, So really,
- 7:50Speaker 8: I like respect that so much.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm so excited to do it.
- 7:54Speaker 12: Wow.
- 7:54Speaker 3: I didn't see that coming. I was on blood drive.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah yeah, I urge actually bring it out
- 8:00Speaker 3: tables and chairs. Yeah.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I just have so much blood in me and I
- 8:04Speaker 1: feel like I should spill it.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta tell you, we didn't see it coming in.
- 8:10Speaker 5: Yeah, but it was kind of interesting that he never
- 8:12Speaker 5: told them. He just kind of like dropped it. There
- 8:15Speaker 5: are over ninety thousand people on the transplant list for
- 8:18Speaker 5: kidneys alone right now.
- 8:20Speaker 4: But it begs the question, and I will ask all
- 8:23Speaker 4: of you, Lisa, would you donate a kidney to a stranger?
- 8:28Speaker 5: That's a good question. I've never thought about it before.
- 8:31Speaker 5: I think I would have to think.
- 8:32Speaker 2: About it longer.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I definitely did question.
- 8:34Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely would donate one to a family member.
- 8:37Speaker 5: How about a front one hundred percent? Yeah, potentially, yeah,
- 8:42Speaker 5: justin how about you?
- 8:43Speaker 6: I will answer that question at seven twenty five because
- 8:45Speaker 6: I want to hear from the people and hear what
- 8:47Speaker 6: they have to say. I have my opinion. I want
- 8:49Speaker 6: to hear theirs. So leave us a talk back. Yeah,
- 8:51Speaker 6: I'll give us a call seven twenty five.
- 8:52Speaker 3: We'll talk.
- 8:53Speaker 2: It's a good topic.
- 8:54Speaker 6: Well, it's a loaded question, right, I mean, it's the
- 8:56Speaker 6: ultimate one of the ultimate forms of service.
- 8:59Speaker 3: It is, Yeah, especially to a stranger.
- 9:02Speaker 2: It isn't.
- 9:02Speaker 5: And going back to Jesse, he said that he's been
- 9:05Speaker 5: thinking about doing this for over ten years. Wow, He's
- 9:09Speaker 5: had it in the back of his mind that he
- 9:10Speaker 5: wanted to do something like this, his altruistic donation.
- 9:15Speaker 6: You know you're driving down ninety three that there was
- 9:17Speaker 6: one last week a billboard of a man.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a kidney.
- 9:20Speaker 2: They're in desperate need of kidneys.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Yeah. So the question is would you and you can
- 9:24Speaker 4: send your talk back to right now to you right.
- 9:26Speaker 6: Justin Yeah, on the iHeart app. I think everyone knows
- 9:28Speaker 6: how to do it. If you don't, just download the
- 9:30Speaker 6: iHeart app.
- 9:30Speaker 3: It's free.
- 9:30Speaker 6: You pull up bus kiss want to wait, tap the microphone,
- 9:33Speaker 6: join the conversations.
- 9:34Speaker 3: That easy list. So let me ask you another question.
- 9:37Speaker 3: When was the last time you washed your hair?
- 9:41Speaker 2: This morning?
- 9:42Speaker 13: Oh?
- 9:43Speaker 4: Yes, so it does look fabulous. Okay, how long have
- 9:49Speaker 4: you gone the longest you've gone without washing?
- 9:53Speaker 2: Can I guess you?
- 9:53Speaker 6: Okay, I guess Okay. I don't think you've gone longer
- 9:56Speaker 6: than a week.
- 9:58Speaker 2: No, I've never gone longer than week.
- 10:00Speaker 5: I would say, like on average, it's like four or
- 10:02Speaker 5: five days you're not supposed to wash your hair, but
- 10:04Speaker 5: like once or twice a week.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I do it like twice a day sometimes, but
- 10:09Speaker 3: I'm desperately dry.
- 10:11Speaker 5: That's well, it's actually counterintuitive because you're washing so much
- 10:16Speaker 5: that it's making you dryer.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, I know, I just can't stop. It's all. Yes,
- 10:21Speaker 3: we know.
- 10:22Speaker 4: Well I ask you the question because are you ready
- 10:25Speaker 4: for this? Cardi b says she hasn't washed her hair
- 10:30Speaker 4: in three months.
- 10:32Speaker 14: I got oiled down my scout because Tomora, I'm gonna
- 10:34Speaker 14: do my real hair. I'm gonna wash it. Then around Wednesday,
- 10:38Speaker 14: I'm upgrading. I'm not even gonna front. I haven't washed
- 10:40Speaker 14: my hair like two months. Matter of fact, I'm lying
- 10:43Speaker 14: probably like three months. I've probably got old type of
- 10:46Speaker 14: roach eggs, mosquito eggs, everything in this bitch right here.
- 10:54Speaker 2: She's just so pure.
- 10:56Speaker 3: That's a good thing.
- 10:56Speaker 6: Bill's dressed up as a mosquito hunter.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I am. I've got my mosquito swatter with me.
- 11:01Speaker 3: Sure this morning swapped them.
- 11:03Speaker 2: That's like a long time.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Three months, that's a long time mosquito is in.
- 11:08Speaker 6: There, and start to smell, Lisa, I.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Think so, Yes, I would think so. After a while.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Maybe that was Jalen Brown's problem. Had stuff going on
- 11:18Speaker 3: up there. Well, there was a story.
- 11:20Speaker 6: They said it wasn't true, but there was an initial
- 11:22Speaker 6: story that Stefan Diggs, her boyfriend, broke up with her
- 11:27Speaker 6: prior to them being together now because her BBL stunk. Oh,
- 11:31Speaker 6: that was a story in the news that her fake
- 11:34Speaker 6: act hold on. Yeah, I'm just saying.
- 11:38Speaker 3: The Brazilian butt had a smell.
- 11:40Speaker 6: Yeah, that he didn't like the smell of the BBL.
- 11:43Speaker 6: It was a story. We don't know if it's truing.
- 11:45Speaker 4: They all are, yeah stories, and they're covered by you,
- 11:48Speaker 4: bill including this one. Billie Eilish was given Innovator of
- 11:53Speaker 4: the Year award by The Wall Street Journal this week,
- 11:56Speaker 4: and she used her speech to call on rich people,
- 11:59Speaker 4: specific billionaires, to give their money away do good things
- 12:03Speaker 4: with this.
- 12:03Speaker 11: Love you all, but there's a few people in here
- 12:05Speaker 11: that have a lot more money than me. And uh,
- 12:13Speaker 11: if you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate,
- 12:18Speaker 11: but yeah, give your money away.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Shorty's I'll dare you be a billionaire. Mark Zuckerberg was
- 12:24Speaker 3: right in front of her. He's the only one that
- 12:26Speaker 3: didn't collap. Yeah, he was pissed. Well, you know what
- 12:28Speaker 3: he says.
- 12:29Speaker 1: I know you've done your homework and so you know
- 12:30Speaker 1: that money isn't a big part of my life. But
- 12:32Speaker 1: at the moment I could find on Douburn Street, take
- 12:34Speaker 1: the Phoenix Club and turn it into my ping pong room.
- 12:38Speaker 2: I love that movie. Everybuddy then, right, our buddy Ben.
- 12:42Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Social Network one of the greatest movies of all.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Time, absolutely, Ben Mazrek. Yep.
- 12:50Speaker 6: So my question to that is, I do agree with
- 12:53Speaker 6: helping others, right if you especially a lot have a
- 12:56Speaker 6: lot of money. But how do we know that he
- 12:58Speaker 6: is not giving money?
- 13:00Speaker 3: That's what I mean.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Saw, did you know there aren't a lot of billionaires
- 13:02Speaker 4: in that room that aren't giving a lot of money?
- 13:04Speaker 3: That would be my question. Yeah.
- 13:06Speaker 6: Yeah, but she did donate eleven million dollars from her tour.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
- 13:11Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.
- 13:12Speaker 4: And by the way, if you're so inclined, now would
- 13:15Speaker 4: be a great time to give. With the government shutdown

- 18:28Speaker 4: point blank, I'm giving a kidney to a stranger.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Here, he was, I'm.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Actually donating my kidney in six weeks.
- 18:34Speaker 3: I really am. Yes, Yeah, that's amazing.
- 18:37Speaker 15: What.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why I got like bitten by
- 18:40Speaker 1: the blood donation. Bo Yeah, I love it.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Jump up.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I'm doing an altruistic donation mid December.
- 18:46Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 18:46Speaker 16: One of my best friends had a kidney transplant, So really,
- 18:48Speaker 16: I like respect that so much.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm so excited to do it.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Wow. I didn't see that coming. I was just going
- 18:54Speaker 3: to convince one. Bring it out, tables and chairs.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I just have so much blood in me and
- 19:02Speaker 1: I feel like I should spill it.
- 19:06Speaker 4: Begs the question have you received an organ from somebody else?
- 19:10Speaker 4: Are you giving an organ to somebody else? Have you
- 19:12Speaker 4: given an organ to somebody else? Let's start with Diane
- 19:16Speaker 4: as she's on the phone. Diane, you got a kidney.
- 19:18Speaker 3: From who.
- 19:20Speaker 18: Man named Brian was? It was actually he was tragically
- 19:24Speaker 18: lost his life and he's only twenty five years old.
- 19:27Speaker 18: And you know, I'm very grateful. My husband unfortunately waiting
- 19:30Speaker 18: for a kidney for a different illness, but he ended
- 19:33Speaker 18: up passing last year. Oh I'm sorry he developed another
- 19:37Speaker 18: illness that made him ineligible. But you know, people, so
- 19:41Speaker 18: many people don't donate. They bury kidneys, and I just
- 19:45Speaker 18: want to say, like, you know, you can really save
- 19:47Speaker 18: a life of My life changed so much after having
- 19:50Speaker 18: a transplant.
- 19:51Speaker 8: How are you feeling, Diane, I'm good.
- 19:54Speaker 18: It's been almost eight years and you know, no issue.
- 19:56Speaker 3: So well that's a good start. Thank you for your all,
- 20:00Speaker 3: and keep going.
- 20:02Speaker 5: She's right, you can, you can, you know, make arrangements
- 20:06Speaker 5: for yourself.
- 20:07Speaker 6: You go on the list, right right, Yeah. The stranger
- 20:09Speaker 6: thing is crazy. I mean, obviously I think we all
- 20:11Speaker 6: would donate to a loved one, right they needed it, sure,
- 20:15Speaker 6: but like a complete stranger. That's like the ultimate form
- 20:18Speaker 6: of giving, yes, giving a piece of yourself, you know,
- 20:21Speaker 6: and it maasically.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Think of the Selena Gomez story.
- 20:23Speaker 6: You know, Selena Gomez got a kidney from her friend,
- 20:26Speaker 6: her best friend, and then they had a falling out.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Yeah, and we ever find out what the falling out
- 20:31Speaker 3: was about.
- 20:32Speaker 6: Rumors I will say, the friend Francia was not invited
- 20:36Speaker 6: to the wedding. Oh yeah, so the rumor was that
- 20:38Speaker 6: she gave her the kidney she donated to Selena and
- 20:41Speaker 6: then Selena started smoking and drinking. That's what they said,
- 20:44Speaker 6: but there's been no confirmation, right, she hasn't confirmed that
- 20:47Speaker 6: that's true. But and then a couple of years ago
- 20:50Speaker 6: she did an interview where she said that Taylor. Selena
- 20:52Speaker 6: said that Taylor was her only friend in the industry,
- 20:55Speaker 6: which was kind of cold.
- 20:56Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm thinking, once somebody gives you an organ,
- 20:59Speaker 4: you forgive anything for the rest of your life.
- 21:01Speaker 3: That person could do anything wrong.
- 21:03Speaker 2: You're deeply connected.
- 21:04Speaker 6: Once you give a kidney, you can't do things like
- 21:06Speaker 6: smoke cigarettes or even drink. I don't believe you have to.
- 21:10Speaker 6: You have to change your lifestyle.
- 21:11Speaker 3: Once you've given up a kidney, yeah, or gotten one too.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Yeah yeah wow. Let's go to Erin online one. Hey Aaron,
- 21:18Speaker 3: good morning, Good morning.
- 21:21Speaker 19: This is Aaron from Billy's sunset cruise that stayed at
- 21:25Speaker 19: the docks.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Oh yeah, hi, Eron, how are you? We still had fun?
- 21:29Speaker 19: Didn't we? We totally did?
- 21:32Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Aaron.
- 21:34Speaker 6: So you you want a big prize of a sunset
- 21:37Speaker 6: cruise on Billy's boat, but we never left the dock
- 21:39Speaker 6: at the marina.
- 21:41Speaker 19: That's me.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because the weather.
- 21:44Speaker 6: It was the weather, right, right, anyway, what's up, Eric, Yes,
- 21:47Speaker 6: it was so.
- 21:50Speaker 19: My husband did have a transplant. We had talked about
- 21:53Speaker 19: it a little bit, but it did start with an
- 21:54Speaker 19: anonymous donor. So the way that it works is was
- 22:00Speaker 19: a gentleman that decided he had seen a friend go
- 22:02Speaker 19: through the situation where they needed a kidney, and he
- 22:05Speaker 19: decided he wanted to donate. And there's a program that
- 22:08Speaker 19: we had done through Mass General that they identify a
- 22:12Speaker 19: donor for you. And if you end up getting into
- 22:16Speaker 19: a program where someone he anonymously started it by kicking
- 22:21Speaker 19: it off and donating the kidney, and then your person
- 22:24Speaker 19: donates a kidney that's a better match for that person,
- 22:28Speaker 19: and you get a kidney from somebody else and you
- 22:31Speaker 19: don't necessarily know where it's coming from or who it's
- 22:33Speaker 19: coming from. The Mass General step this up for us.
- 22:36Speaker 19: It was a fifty two person swap, all started with
- 22:40Speaker 19: an anonymous donor, and there were people that were kidneys
- 22:45Speaker 19: were traveling across the countryscross people that needed them. They
- 22:49Speaker 19: were able to step this up.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Was it a long wait?
- 22:54Speaker 19: Luckily for us, because of the way that the program
- 22:58Speaker 19: works and how long he had not been feeling good,
- 23:02Speaker 19: it didn't seem like a long wait for us, but
- 23:04Speaker 19: it could have been much worse.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:06Speaker 4: Well, that's a great story. Thank you very much for
- 23:08Speaker 4: checking in. And I'm sorry but the bad weather, we
- 23:10Speaker 4: couldn't have taken the boat off the dark that day.
- 23:12Speaker 4: I'm just saying, let's go to a Julie. Now, Julie,
- 23:16Speaker 4: did you donate a kidney or you're.
- 23:17Speaker 10: About to No, I donated a kidney almost eight years ago, and.
- 23:23Speaker 3: To a stranger.
- 23:25Speaker 2: That's so incredible.
- 23:26Speaker 10: Yeah, I did.
- 23:29Speaker 15: It.
- 23:29Speaker 10: It's a lovely story. And I just wanted prefaces by
- 23:32Speaker 10: saying that there is a one percent chance that anything
- 23:36Speaker 10: will ever happen to me. I have been healthy related
- 23:40Speaker 10: nothing related to my kidney has ever happened. I think
- 23:43Speaker 10: it's really important for people to know that and be
- 23:46Speaker 10: aware of that. I almost want to cry hearing these
- 23:48Speaker 10: stories of the woman with that that past. You know,
- 23:53Speaker 10: it's such a simple, as weird as it sounds, it's
- 23:56Speaker 10: such a simple gift to give. And I have a
- 23:59Speaker 10: lifelong friend, a family. I came so much from it,
- 24:03Speaker 10: and it was simple. It was from a story I
- 24:06Speaker 10: saw online and it was through a foundation, and I said, oh,
- 24:10Speaker 10: I'll just you know, fill out the application and then
- 24:12Speaker 10: my life kind of went to you know, in the
- 24:15Speaker 10: toilet as far as my marriage. And I was really
- 24:18Speaker 10: really struggling in my life. And so I went forward
- 24:24Speaker 10: with you know, testing my blood and they called me
- 24:27Speaker 10: within weeks and said you're her match. And I'm like what.
- 24:30Speaker 10: So I traveled back and forth to Presbyterian Hospital and
- 24:35Speaker 10: I donated my kidney and it was the longtime assistant
- 24:38Speaker 10: from Barbara Corkoran.
- 24:40Speaker 7: Wow.
- 24:41Speaker 10: So we went on Rachel Ray and to just you know,
- 24:45Speaker 10: share the story.
- 24:49Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 24:49Speaker 13: It was.
- 24:49Speaker 10: It was amazing, and it just it helped me. It's
- 24:52Speaker 10: almost like she saved my life too, because I was
- 24:54Speaker 10: going through something so terrible and it lifted me up
- 24:56Speaker 10: and said I'm not dying.
- 24:58Speaker 3: She is very great.
- 25:00Speaker 4: Before you go, I got to ask you physically, did
- 25:02Speaker 4: you feel anything different after giving your kidney?
- 25:07Speaker 10: You know what, it was probably one of the easiest
- 25:09Speaker 10: procedures I've ever been through. I went on Rachel Ray
- 25:11Speaker 10: a week to the day I donated. I was walking
- 25:15Speaker 10: perfectly fine, and I've been you know, I've been fine.
- 25:18Speaker 10: I encourage anybody, anybody to do it.
- 25:22Speaker 15: Well.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Good for you, you are a saint. But thank you for
- 25:25Speaker 4: the call, thank you for joining the show. Let's go
- 25:28Speaker 4: to Amelia. She also donated a kidney.
- 25:31Speaker 16: Good morning, Amelia, Good morning a stranger, guys, Yeah, to
- 25:38Speaker 16: a stranger. I saw his ad on Facebook and it
- 25:40Speaker 16: turned out to be like a friend of a friend
- 25:42Speaker 16: and he was seeking a kidney, and a lot of people,
- 25:45Speaker 16: like six thousand people a year guy, because they don't
- 25:47Speaker 16: get a kidney. So I definitely encourage people, at least
- 25:50Speaker 16: at the very least put it be a deceasedoner, like
- 25:53Speaker 16: if you put it on your your license, if you
- 25:56Speaker 16: pass away. Yeah, and you can still drink.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Yoh, you can still drink.
- 26:02Speaker 3: You can drink and everything.
- 26:05Speaker 16: Yeah, I still have a glass of wine every now
- 26:07Speaker 16: and then absolutely moderately.
- 26:09Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, well, good for you again that you are
- 26:13Speaker 4: a saint.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 26:15Speaker 5: Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa in the.
- 26:19Speaker 3: Morning, and we started a topic.
- 26:21Speaker 4: Jesse Eisenberg, great actor, by the way, the social network Are.
- 26:24Speaker 3: You kidding me?
- 26:26Speaker 4: He announced on the Today Show this week that he's
- 26:28Speaker 4: giving a kidney to an absolute stranger, and it got
- 26:32Speaker 4: us wondering, like would we do that? Apparently a lot
- 26:35Speaker 4: of people have because we broke it open a few
- 26:37Speaker 4: minutes ago, and the phones have been crazy, the clacks
- 26:40Speaker 4: are crazy.
- 26:41Speaker 6: So I think all three of us are the saying,
- 26:43Speaker 6: so we would donate to a loved one. Yeah, I'm
- 26:45Speaker 6: not sure about a stranger.
- 26:46Speaker 5: And also upon my death as an organ donor, that's
- 26:51Speaker 5: a very big deal.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Make sure you know, yeah, I'm an organ donor.
- 26:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a donor. I've got the heart on my license. Yeah, yeah,
- 26:57Speaker 3: take it all. Yeah at that point, yeah, you text
- 27:00Speaker 3: them all.
- 27:01Speaker 6: I don't know the condition of them, but yeah, oh
- 27:04Speaker 6: I'm sure several of mine would be rejected.
- 27:06Speaker 4: But well, let's go back to the phone. Sean is
- 27:09Speaker 4: calling in from a Londonderry, New Hampshire. Sean, your thoughts,
- 27:12Speaker 4: What would you do?
- 27:15Speaker 19: Yes?
- 27:15Speaker 13: I have had multiple family members actually donate kidneys to
- 27:19Speaker 13: save other family members, so I would absolutely do it
- 27:22Speaker 13: if I got the chance.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Would you do it for a stranger? I probably would,
- 27:28Speaker 3: So you'd put yourself on a list.
- 27:32Speaker 13: Yes, I would. I also work in an intensive care
- 27:35Speaker 13: unit and we see the gift of life happen often
- 27:40Speaker 13: and it changes lives for so many people, and I
- 27:46Speaker 13: think it's really important for people to understand that, you know,
- 27:49Speaker 13: putting it on your license can be very important, so
- 27:53Speaker 13: you know, when your family is having to make that decision,
- 27:56Speaker 13: they kind of already know what you want.
- 27:58Speaker 3: And if you're working in ICU make much.
- 28:00Speaker 2: That's an interesting Yeah.
- 28:02Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 28:03Speaker 6: Those videos of you know, organ donors after they pass
- 28:07Speaker 6: and they wheel them out and then all the staff
- 28:09Speaker 6: and families are out kind of watching over them, got
- 28:12Speaker 6: to get chills.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Even said, yeah, you know it's uh you got some
- 28:16Speaker 3: talk backs in there.
- 28:17Speaker 16: Brother.
- 28:17Speaker 17: I would donate my kidney to a stranger if I could. Unfortunately,
- 28:22Speaker 17: I have a genetic kidney disease and nobody wants my kidneys,
- 28:25Speaker 17: but I'll eventually need a transplant, and my community relies
- 28:29Speaker 17: on people being organ donors and generous people donating to strangers.
- 28:34Speaker 17: Waitlists for organs are years and sometimes loved ones aren't
- 28:38Speaker 17: a match, so we rely on people being organ donors,
- 28:42Speaker 17: living or dead.
- 28:44Speaker 3: Yep, oh boy, now I feel bad what you have
- 28:48Speaker 3: done to me.
- 28:49Speaker 6: Justin we'll put yourself on a list. I don't know
- 28:51Speaker 6: the condition of your kidney. I'm sure it's fine.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Yeah, you're healthy.
- 28:55Speaker 3: I think I'm in pretty good conditioned.
- 28:57Speaker 6: Okay, well, what I guess what if it's like a
- 29:00Speaker 6: twenty one year old person, kid would they take your kidney?
- 29:04Speaker 3: Okay? Does the age thing matter? So now you want
- 29:06Speaker 3: to get down that road. I might not be good
- 29:08Speaker 3: enough to give my kidney to a stranger.
- 29:10Speaker 5: Now he's saying that you would have to give it
- 29:12Speaker 5: to somebody who is a similar age.
- 29:14Speaker 2: But we don't know the answer to that.
- 29:16Speaker 3: We don't know the answer. Yeah, whatever age, I am
- 29:18Speaker 3: of a very young version of it.
- 29:20Speaker 6: You are actually you're you're on good health, so that
- 29:23Speaker 6: to be better, even better.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I mean, you guys told me I am. I have
- 29:26Speaker 3: nothing to base it on, but just saying, oh, this
- 29:30Speaker 3: is Seabrook, New Hampshire. Let's go to Laura. Good morning, Laura,
- 29:34Speaker 3: good morning. What are your thoughts on this?
- 29:38Speaker 15: Well, my daughter receives a living kidney donor at the
- 29:42Speaker 15: age of she was eighteen at the time, seventeen when
- 29:48Speaker 15: she was diagnosed with kidney failure. So absolutely I would
- 29:53Speaker 15: say put your name on this if you are not
- 29:57Speaker 15: willing to be a living donor a deceased donor. There
- 30:01Speaker 15: are thousands and thousands of people ninety thousand within the
- 30:05Speaker 15: US that are needing a kidney, and that's kidney alone.
- 30:11Speaker 15: So it's super important that people become aware and I
- 30:15Speaker 15: appreciate you doing this talk on this this morning. I
- 30:19Speaker 15: know another sixteen year old that's waiting for a kidney
- 30:23Speaker 15: right now within Massachusetts and she's doing dialysis every day,
- 30:27Speaker 15: and there are so many people that need a kidney.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:33Speaker 15: What people aren't aware of is if you do donate
- 30:36Speaker 15: a kidney, you go to and you ever need a
- 30:41Speaker 15: kidney later on, you will go to the top of
- 30:44Speaker 15: the list.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know that. Well yes, wow, Well, thank
- 30:49Speaker 3: you for the call and thank you for the information.
- 30:52Speaker 3: All right, Bill, Well care up.
- 30:54Speaker 19: Bill.
- 30:54Speaker 3: I'm harvesting one of your kidneys to sell on the
- 30:56Speaker 3: black market to this show. I'm sure thou help. I'm
- 31:02Speaker 3: sure
