- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, best morning show in Boston.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 0:04Speaker 3: It's just a great start to my day.
- 0:06Speaker 2: On Kiss 108.
- 0:09Speaker 4: Okay, good morning, everybody.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday to you. Today is Wednesday, September 9th. By
- 0:15Speaker 1: the way, just a couple of days away now from
- 0:17Speaker 1: the 25th anniversary of 9-11. It's a very, very emotional week,
- 0:23Speaker 1: but it's going to be sunny today with clouds, Lisa.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Yeah, humid, though.
- 0:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Kind of 80-ish.
- 0:30Speaker 6: Cold in the mornings, though.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Yep.
- 0:31Speaker 3: You can feel the September sort of fall chill to
- 0:35Speaker 3: the ear.
- 0:36Speaker 6: Remember last year around this time, Billy wanted to do
- 0:39Speaker 6: the hoodie challenge?
- 0:40Speaker 7: He did.
- 0:41Speaker 6: That's hoodie season.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Was it a year ago? It was. I think so.
- 0:46Speaker 7: Wow.
- 0:46Speaker 2: You beat us hands down.
- 0:48Speaker 6: He really did. And he really held on to that title.
- 0:50Speaker 2: You did.
- 0:51Speaker 1: And I got to tell you, I had so many
- 0:53Speaker 1: more hoodies standing by, too. I bet. Like, I wanted
- 0:56Speaker 1: very early in on my collection of hoodies.
- 0:59Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it's hoodie season, right? You leave the house
- 1:01Speaker 6: in the morning with a hoodie on, and then you
- 1:02Speaker 6: leave work, and you're in a T-shirt.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I was struggling, because I have hoodies, but I don't
- 1:09Speaker 3: wear them to work, usually.
- 1:11Speaker 1: And you don't probably remember where you put them. I know.
- 1:15Speaker 6: But, yeah.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Hoodie season is coming.
- 1:18Speaker 7: It is.
- 1:18Speaker 1: I've already worn a couple of hoodies because it's cold
- 1:21Speaker 1: in the mornings.
- 1:21Speaker 6: Oh, it's so cold.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Yeah. As always, the Billy and Lisa Show likes to
- 1:26Speaker 1: include the audience and the listeners, our talk backers, for instance. Right, Justin?
- 1:31Speaker 4: Good morning.
- 1:31Speaker 2: It's the mayor of the South End.
- 1:33Speaker 8: I want to thank you for that lovely introduction yesterday.
- 1:37Speaker 8: I think that should be my intro every morning. And
- 1:40Speaker 8: I want to wish everybody happy National Teddy Bear Day.
- 1:44Speaker 8: So if you've got a favorite teddy bear, give it
- 1:47Speaker 8: an extra cuddle. And my favorite teddy bear every morning
- 1:51Speaker 8: is Mr.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Justin.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Woo-hoo!
- 1:55Speaker 1: Oh, boy, he's got to be dreaming about you.
- 1:57Speaker 6: Thank you, Mr.
- 1:58Speaker 7: Mayor.
- 1:59Speaker 6: I don't swing that way, but you are different.
- 2:01Speaker 2: He's going to hold on tight.
- 2:03Speaker 6: I'll pass on that, but, yeah, maybe that could be
- 2:05Speaker 6: his intro.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Allow me to reintroduce myself.
- 2:08Speaker 4: My name is.
- 2:08Speaker 2: It's the mayor of the South Bend.
- 2:10Speaker 9: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Good morning, Mr.
- 2:14Speaker 5: Mayor.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Anybody here still have a teddy bear?
- 2:17Speaker 2: Well, one of my kids still has a giant one.
- 2:20Speaker 7: Really?
- 2:21Speaker 2: Will not get rid of it. Will not get rid
- 2:23Speaker 2: of it.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Is this Riley or Max?
- 2:25Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Riley. It's in the room. It just sits
- 2:28Speaker 2: in the corner.
- 2:28Speaker 6: Oh, it's not in the bed.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Oh, it doesn't come to bed with him.
- 2:30Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
- 2:31Speaker 6: I was going to say.
- 2:32Speaker 2: No, but it's one of those giant ones, and I
- 2:34Speaker 2: think it's nostalgic. Yeah, it's sitting there.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Justin, your kids have a teddy bear? Yeah.
- 2:41Speaker 7: No.
- 2:41Speaker 1: I think they've moved on to other huggies.
- 2:44Speaker 6: Yeah, well, they're really into the squishies now. That's the
- 2:47Speaker 6: new thing. The squishies, they're all over my house.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Everywhere.
- 2:51Speaker 6: Big squishies, little squishies.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Anyway, for what it's worth, it's... They're therapeutic.
- 2:56Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Anything you want to hug in bed is therapeutic. I know.
- 3:00Speaker 6: I love to hug my wife. She's not always on board.
- 3:03Speaker 6: It's just life.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Michelle's not a big hugger. No, she's not. No, I
- 3:07Speaker 1: gotta be honest.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I'm a hugger and a cuddler.
- 3:09Speaker 1: See, no, no, no. Bedtime is her time. I mean, after,
- 3:13Speaker 1: of course. Ceremony.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Now, the wall goes up in between us in bed.
- 3:17Speaker 6: You know, the pillow wall.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Really?
- 3:20Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:20Speaker 1: So it's the same for you, right? Yeah, oh, yeah.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Michelle has no interest in me invading her space when
- 3:28Speaker 1: it's bedtime.
- 3:29Speaker 6: There'll be some cuddling and some, you know, affection.
- 3:31Speaker 1: The initial infection, what? No, no infections. Well, for some, maybe.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Maybe.
- 3:40Speaker 6: Yeah, but once it's sleep time, the wall goes up.
- 3:43Speaker 7: Yes.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Big time in my house. Don't even talk to me.
- 3:48Speaker 7: No.
- 3:48Speaker 1: What?
- 3:50Speaker 6: Well, I wear mouth tape. So I can't even talk.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Oh, you guys, that is just weird. I just think
- 3:56Speaker 3: that's so weird.
- 3:57Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. I get in bed. The dogs
- 4:00Speaker 1: get in bed with me. Michelle has about a half
- 4:03Speaker 1: hour ceremony in the bathroom where she gets ready for bed.
- 4:06Speaker 1: The second she climbs in and under the covers, she
- 4:10Speaker 1: hands me a piece of tape.
- 4:12Speaker 7: Yes.
- 4:12Speaker 1: So do you think she's handing me the tape to
- 4:14Speaker 1: make sure I just shut up?
- 4:16Speaker 3: No, like you can't kiss the person like you're next to.
- 4:20Speaker 1: No, no, no. You can't.
- 4:21Speaker 6: No, it's the duct tape. Oh, my God. What's wrong
- 4:25Speaker 6: with me?
- 4:26Speaker 1: It's not duct tape. That could be in your future.
- 4:30Speaker 6: No, I use a brand called Hostage Tape.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Right.
- 4:32Speaker 6: And it helps me keep my mouth closed while sleeping.
- 4:35Speaker 6: So it eliminated my snoring, sleep apnea. I know it
- 4:38Speaker 6: sounds crazy, but it works.
- 4:40Speaker 7: Wow.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I would love to get a picture of the two
- 4:41Speaker 2: of you.
- 4:42Speaker 6: I'll bring a couple pieces.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Everyone laying in bed.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Oh, no. And she's got some Hollywood actress blinders on.
- 4:49Speaker 2: It's a little kinky, I have to say. Yeah.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Well, it could be.
- 4:53Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you could make it a part of
- 4:55Speaker 6: the program. Actually, one time my wife did say to me,
- 4:58Speaker 6: you know what? Leave it on.
- 5:02Speaker 1: You can be my hostage. Oh, man. Good morning. Lisa,
- 5:09Speaker 1: you've got a DM from a listener who needs our
- 5:11Speaker 1: help this morning.
- 5:12Speaker 2: I guess we do. It's wedding advice, I think. Right, Justin?
- 5:16Speaker 6: Yes.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Okay. And there it is.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Okay. Would you like me to read it?
- 5:21Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 5:21Speaker 7: Okay.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Hey, Billy and Lisa. I have a dilemma. I need
- 5:25Speaker 2: help with.
- 5:26Speaker 3: I was asked to be in my friend's wedding party
- 5:29Speaker 3: for her wedding next summer. I would love to be
- 5:32Speaker 3: in the wedding. The problem is she owes me $ 800
- 5:35Speaker 3: from a trip we took last year.
- 5:36Speaker 7: Help me.
- 5:37Speaker 2: What do I do?
- 5:42Speaker 1: Because being in the wedding will cost her a lot
- 5:44Speaker 1: of money, right? Exactly.
- 5:46Speaker 2: It costs thousands of dollars to be in a wedding.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Because you have the shower, you have the bachelorette party,
- 5:53Speaker 3: you have the wedding, you have the gifts.
- 5:57Speaker 6: So she owes her 800 bucks that's just not being
- 5:59Speaker 6: paid back.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 6:00Speaker 6: But then asks her to be in the wedding.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Correct.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Oh boy.
- 6:03Speaker 7: Right.
- 6:03Speaker 1: All right, well, feel free to send us talkbacks on
- 6:06Speaker 1: this one. Weddings are always a hot topic on the
- 6:08Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa Morning Show. And they can give us
- 6:12Speaker 1: a call, right, Justin, at— 730. That's okay.
- 6:13Speaker 4: 877-617-1108. Woo!
- 6:20Speaker 9: From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios, we're back with
- 6:24Speaker 9: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 6:26Speaker 6: Hey, guys.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Welcome back. So Patriots Seahawks tonight, 820 kickoff in Seattle.
- 6:32Speaker 1: It is the Super Bowl rematch. We all remember how
- 6:36Speaker 1: the Super Bowl went last year. So Coach Mike Vrabel admits, yeah,
- 6:40Speaker 1: it's going to be a tough game tonight. The Seahawks
- 6:42Speaker 1: are a tough team.
- 6:43Speaker 4: They've all done it at a high level.
- 6:46Speaker 10: And whether they pressure or whether they game or they
- 6:49Speaker 10: straight rush.
- 6:51Speaker 7: They do a fantastic job of applying pressure, and this.
- 6:55Speaker 4: Will be a great challenge.
- 6:56Speaker 6: And, of course, A.J.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Brown in the Patriots lineup for the first time tonight.
- 7:00Speaker 1: I'm super excited.
- 7:01Speaker 11: I literally looked at the sign today and said, man,
- 7:04Speaker 11: I'm a Patriot, you know, and I'm still in awe.
- 7:07Speaker 1: And I'm grateful. I'm grateful and I'm excited.
- 7:09Speaker 11: You know, it's a lot of opportunities out there to
- 7:12Speaker 11: go make plays and, you know, just play fast and
- 7:14Speaker 11: have fun.
- 7:15Speaker 1: I like A.J. Brown. He seems very positive, doesn't he?
- 7:17Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 7:18Speaker 2: I can't wait to see him play this season.
- 7:20Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
- 7:20Speaker 1: It's going to be good.
- 7:21Speaker 6: Seems like he's meshing well with Drake May.
- 7:23Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 7:23Speaker 6: That's a good thing.
- 7:24Speaker 7: A.J.
- 7:24Speaker 6: Brown also does that thing with his hands when he's talking.
- 7:28Speaker 6: He kind of rubs his hands.
- 7:29Speaker 5: Oh, really?
- 7:30Speaker 6: You ever notice that? All of his press conferences?
- 7:33Speaker 1: He's getting ready.
- 7:34Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 7:35Speaker 6: Let's go.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Big swabbing.
- 7:37Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 7:37Speaker 1: So the Pats have A.J.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Brown.
- 7:39Speaker 1: They also have a beefed up offensive line. Trevion Henderson
- 7:44Speaker 1: is going to be out with an injury.
- 7:46Speaker 6: How late are we making the game?
- 7:49Speaker 1: Well, I mean, an 8-20 start. Yeah, what do you think? Halftime?
- 7:52Speaker 1: I'll watch the first half. I will be honest, if
- 7:56Speaker 1: it's going really badly, like if Drake May is on
- 7:59Speaker 1: his back a lot, I'll probably go to sleep.
- 8:03Speaker 6: If it's close, though.
- 8:03Speaker 1: That's going to be a sign. If they're getting to
- 8:05Speaker 1: him a lot, like they did in the Super Bowl—
- 8:08Speaker 1: I think I'll just retire for the night. It was
- 8:11Speaker 1: the end of the season.
- 8:12Speaker 6: It was a Super Bowl. Long season. Drake was pretty
- 8:14Speaker 6: beat up. This is the first game. If it's really close,
- 8:17Speaker 6: I will stay up.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Meantime, Drake May did an hour-long sit-down
- 8:22Speaker 1: with Men's Health Magazine. I mentioned the beefed-up offensive line. Well,
- 8:27Speaker 1: the guys who protect Drake May, that offensive line, he
- 8:30Speaker 1: bought each and every one of them a sauna in
- 8:32Speaker 1: the offseason.
- 8:33Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's definitely underrated. It's hard for me
- 8:35Speaker 11: to say. I got the offensive linemen this year.
- 8:37Speaker 4: I got them.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:38Speaker 11: This same sauna and was able to incorporate that into
- 8:41Speaker 11: my schedule. And my wife even now loves it. Just
- 8:44Speaker 11: the ability to not only, you know, the physical benefits
- 8:46Speaker 11: of the cardiovascular or, you know, the muscle relaxation, but
- 8:50Speaker 11: just the mentals of getting into a space with, without
- 8:53Speaker 11: your phone, or maybe you're listening to music and just
- 8:55Speaker 11: being in a head space where you're kind of, your
- 8:57Speaker 11: mind's off things and your mind's kind of away from
- 9:00Speaker 11: all the thinking you do throughout the day and enjoy,
- 9:02Speaker 11: you know, a time where you can talk to my
- 9:04Speaker 11: wife about life or, You can just get away in
- 9:07Speaker 11: silence and just battle the heat.
- 9:10Speaker 2: That's a nice, thoughtful gift.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Oh, God, yeah. A gift of a sauna?
- 9:14Speaker 5: Right.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Health benefits, physical, you know, quality time with your significant other.
- 9:20Speaker 6: The sauna has been the number one change I've made
- 9:23Speaker 6: in the last couple of years. I use my sauna
- 9:25Speaker 6: every single night. And Bella and I both got ours
- 9:28Speaker 6: in New England spas.
- 9:29Speaker 1: I was going to say, we have a sauna client.
- 9:30Speaker 1: It would have been cool if we could have put
- 9:32Speaker 1: Drake May and his wife... in touch with them.
- 9:35Speaker 6: He could have gotten it from them. I'm not sure.
- 9:37Speaker 1: We could have gotten him a deal. Okay, Drake. Yeah.
- 9:39Speaker 6: I use mine every night. It really is. It's a,
- 9:42Speaker 6: it's life changing.
- 9:43Speaker 1: It's so relaxing.
- 9:44Speaker 2: How long do you stay in it?
- 9:45Speaker 6: I do 20 minutes. Well, I do 10 minutes. Then
- 9:48Speaker 6: I go in the ice bath and I go back
- 9:49Speaker 6: in for 20 minutes and I go back.
- 9:51Speaker 1: In the ice bath. I do a half hour, sometimes
- 9:53Speaker 1: 40 minutes.
- 9:53Speaker 6: That's perfect.
- 9:54Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I like it. The infrared is really nice. And by
- 9:57Speaker 1: the way, they have the Bluetooth speakers inside the sauna.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Well, it might be a nice Christmas gift, Bill.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Come on, let's go.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Shoot your shot.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Shoot your shot. Sounds good to me.
- 10:09Speaker 6: Hey, we have a client.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Yes, we do.
- 10:12Speaker 1: We certainly do. What's that client's name again? New England Spas, baby.
- 10:15Speaker 1: New England Spas. By the way, Drake May, your quarterback,
- 10:19Speaker 1: does not drink at all. And he got that, he says,
- 10:21Speaker 1: from his family.
- 10:22Speaker 4: Started from my dad, really. I learned from my dad.
- 10:24Speaker 11: I don't think I've ever seen him take a sip
- 10:26Speaker 11: of alcohol. And it's really kind of something that I
- 10:28Speaker 11: just kind of grew used to. You know, my brother
- 10:30Speaker 11: Luke didn't drink growing up. He skipped a brother. Then
- 10:34Speaker 11: my brother Bo doesn't drink. But really, it's something that
- 10:38Speaker 11: kind of just follow people that I really admire. That's
- 10:41Speaker 11: my dad, my oldest brother Luke. And then my brother
- 10:43Speaker 11: Bo never takes a sip of alcohol. You know, I'll
- 10:46Speaker 11: get on the beach and have a pina colada, but
- 10:48Speaker 11: I'm not one to drink. I probably drink less than
- 10:51Speaker 11: five times a year, ten times a year.
- 10:52Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I got to tell you, my boys, they've seen me
- 10:55Speaker 1: take a sip of a drink.
- 10:56Speaker 7: A Cosmo.
- 10:57Speaker 6: They don't take it seriously.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Well, it's either a glass of South Blanc or a Cosmo.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Most likely wine around the boys. But I like Drake
- 11:05Speaker 1: a lot. And I like that kind of reasoning, right?
- 11:07Speaker 1: That idea that, you know, my kids don't see my
- 11:10Speaker 1: wife and I drink. So hopefully they grow up and
- 11:12Speaker 1: they're like, you know what?
- 11:13Speaker 2: They don't need it.
- 11:13Speaker 6: Take it or leave it.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Yeah. Did Drake say that when he drinks, it's a
- 11:17Speaker 1: pina colada?
- 11:18Speaker 4: On the beach.
- 11:19Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Yeah. That's very festive.
- 11:22Speaker 2: I like that for them.
- 11:23Speaker 7: Right?
- 11:24Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:24Speaker 1: What?
- 11:24Speaker 5: What?
- 11:27Speaker 6: Are you judging the pina colada, Mr. Cartlisa?
- 11:29Speaker 1: It's not really out with the guys kind of a cocktail. No,
- 11:33Speaker 1: he's in bed. He goes to sleep at 10 o'clock.
- 11:35Speaker 2: He's probably with his wife.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Of course. I'm sure they both get a pina colada.
- 11:40Speaker 4: Or you know what?
- 11:40Speaker 1: My guess is they share a pina colada. I'm just saying.
- 11:44Speaker 1: I like the pina colada. Well, virgin ones.
- 11:46Speaker 6: No alcohol.
- 11:47Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Yeah. Come on, Drake. I was just taken aback by
- 11:54Speaker 1: that for a second. Big time football player, NFL. Yeah,
- 11:58Speaker 1: it's all over the pina colada. It's very old school. Yeah,
- 12:02Speaker 1: it's cute.
- 12:02Speaker 7: I like it.
- 12:03Speaker 1: It's a good arrival drink, like if you arrive in
- 12:07Speaker 1: Mexico or Hawaii or something. Hey, honey, let's get a
- 12:10Speaker 1: pina colada.
- 12:11Speaker 6: Bill, I love you, but you drink a pink Cosmo drink.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Okay, it's a vodka drink.
- 12:17Speaker 6: It's still a Cosmo.
- 12:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 12:19Speaker 1: It's a very citrusy man's drink.
- 12:22Speaker 6: One Cosmo.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing.
- 12:24Speaker 6: Go on the floor.
- 12:24Speaker 1: It's got a man's kick to it. We know.
- 12:27Speaker 6: We know.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Drake says getting married to Ann Michael was the biggest
- 12:33Speaker 1: and best decision of his life.
- 12:34Speaker 4: I think one of the biggest things was getting married.
- 12:36Speaker 4: Getting married. I was in college. I was up.
- 12:38Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 12:38Speaker 4: Go to bed at midnight.
- 12:40Speaker 11: And we'd have to wake up at six for our
- 12:42Speaker 11: first meeting at 630.
- 12:43Speaker 4: And now me and my wife are in bed. At
- 12:46Speaker 4: 10 at the latest, usually.
- 12:47Speaker 11: So this is the navigation of growing and kind of
- 12:50Speaker 11: maturing and just realizing eating more meals at home, eating
- 12:54Speaker 11: better stuff instead of going out to eat all the
- 12:56Speaker 11: time like I was before I started living with my wife.
- 13:00Speaker 11: So I think just the nature of growing up, maturing.
- 13:04Speaker 11: And just enjoying kind of the little things of having
- 13:07Speaker 11: a dinner at home and sitting on the couch and
- 13:09Speaker 11: watching a sports game or watching a show and enjoying
- 13:12Speaker 11: kind of the peace and the escape from my job
- 13:15Speaker 11: or my sport or what I do for a living
- 13:18Speaker 11: and just having that time away from the sport and
- 13:19Speaker 11: realizing that that's important for the mental health and also for,
- 13:24Speaker 11: you know, just your life.
- 13:26Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 13:26Speaker 1: And Michael making some nice baked goods before bed.
- 13:30Speaker 6: Oh, he's eating good.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Yeah, that's for sure.
- 13:32Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 13:32Speaker 6: Yeah, he did go into a lot of his nutrition, too.
- 13:34Speaker 6: He really cleaned that up in this offseason.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Yeah, most of the players have.
- 13:38Speaker 6: He put on some good size, too.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Good muscle. All right, we'll see tonight. Meantime, Drake was asked,
- 13:44Speaker 1: did he ever get any kind of advice from Tom Brady?
- 13:48Speaker 11: I think the only advice that I feel like I've
- 13:50Speaker 11: needed from Tom is the way he did things and
- 13:51Speaker 11: the way he approached the game. I think he'll be
- 13:53Speaker 11: able for me to you know, ask him questions and
- 13:56Speaker 11: call him all the time would be a disservice to
- 13:58Speaker 11: what he did and how he did in his time
- 14:00Speaker 11: here in New England. That is such a high level
- 14:02Speaker 11: for such a long time. And, you know, the greatest
- 14:03Speaker 11: to play the position. I think he set the standard
- 14:06Speaker 11: of playing the position in the NFL and he set
- 14:09Speaker 11: the standard at the highest level there ever is. And
- 14:11Speaker 11: people are trying to chase him. So it's, it's our
- 14:13Speaker 11: job to try to learn and pick up things that
- 14:15Speaker 11: he did and try to, you know, match it.
- 14:18Speaker 1: So the answer was no, he did not. The answer
- 14:21Speaker 1: was definitely no. Yeah. That was a long way around no.
- 14:27Speaker 2: It was like a really nice long way.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Nicely done, yeah. He appreciates Tom Brady and his greatness,
- 14:32Speaker 1: as everybody does.
- 14:33Speaker 3: Well, his commitment to fitness, his commitment to wellness, which
- 14:36Speaker 3: is what he just talked about with Ann.
- 14:37Speaker 6: He does a lot of pliability.
- 14:39Speaker 1: And by the way, a lot of players got that
- 14:42Speaker 1: from Tom Brady. They did. He was in early on that.
- 14:45Speaker 6: Yeah, but the answer is no. But Tom's a part
- 14:48Speaker 6: owner of the Raiders. He's all in on Mendoza and
- 14:51Speaker 6: the Raiders.
- 14:51Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:52Speaker 1: And just last week, Drake and Michael got a big
- 14:54Speaker 1: endorsement deal with L.L.
- 14:56Speaker 7: Bean.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Yes, they did.
- 14:59Speaker 1: So here we go. The new football season is here.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Patriots Seahawks tonight. The Rams and the 49ers will play
- 15:05Speaker 1: in Australia tomorrow and then more than a dozen games
- 15:08Speaker 1: on Sunday.
- 15:08Speaker 2: So that's why it's a Wednesday game.
- 15:10Speaker 3: It's the second time in NFL history that it's been
- 15:12Speaker 3: played on a Wednesday.
- 15:14Speaker 2: I thought I was like, why? That's so weird. Why
- 15:15Speaker 2: are they starting Wednesday? But it's because of the Australian game.
- 15:18Speaker 1: You know, we say in the Billy and Lisa morning show,
- 15:20Speaker 1: I say it every day. Go Pats. All right.
- 15:23Speaker 6: A little bit more energy there, Bill.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Here we go. Patriots.
- 15:26Speaker 7: Here we go.
- 15:28Speaker 6: Here we go, baby.
- 15:29Speaker 8: Hey, you're bashing Drake May for a pina colada?
- 15:36Speaker 10: Oh, boy.
- 15:37Speaker 3: You drink Cosmos. Really?
- 15:39Speaker 9: Come on.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Let her have a pina.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Colada and win us a game tonight.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa!
- 15:49Speaker 3: Now, the entertainment update with Billy Costa on Kiss 108.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got Ed Sheeran tickets. He's bringing his shows,
- 15:57Speaker 1: his sold-out shows to Gillette Stadium. So right now we
- 16:01Speaker 1: need to call at 25. We do it every morning.
- 16:03Speaker 1: We need to call at 25. And call at 25.
- 16:06Speaker 1: If you get through, you're going to need the key word.
- 16:09Speaker 1: And the key word is perfect. Perfect is the key word. And,
- 16:15Speaker 1: by the way, several reports this morning supposedly from an insider.
- 16:20Speaker 1: say that Taylor Swift might be distancing herself from Ed
- 16:24Speaker 1: Sheeran because of the controversy caused by Macklemore this week
- 16:28Speaker 1: with his Free Palestine comments. He's on tour with Ed Sheeran.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Producer Riley, you're the biggest Swifty we know. Do you
- 16:35Speaker 1: know anything about this insider or this story? And is
- 16:38Speaker 1: she distancing herself?
- 16:40Speaker 5: OK, so I looked it up after you talked to
- 16:41Speaker 5: me about it this morning, and it's from a celebrity
- 16:45Speaker 5: gossip site called Naughty But Nice, which is like blind
- 16:49Speaker 5: items and gossip. So the inside source could legitimately be anyone.
- 16:55Speaker 5: It could be like somebody that was walking by her
- 16:58Speaker 5: on the street and heard her say Ed Sheeran. And
- 17:00Speaker 5: they're like, oh, that's what it is. That's because it's
- 17:02Speaker 5: a sub stack. So anybody can send anything they want
- 17:06Speaker 5: into it.
- 17:08Speaker 6: Just say what it is. Bill got caught on his phone.
- 17:10Speaker 5: No, it is.
- 17:11Speaker 2: It is on Yahoo. But she is very close with people.
- 17:16Speaker 5: So I think until we see something on people at
- 17:18Speaker 5: The New York Times, I think it's just gossip. She's
- 17:21Speaker 5: also very openly like not she doesn't she talks openly about.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Her political views.
- 17:28Speaker 5: So I kind of would surprise me if this is
- 17:31Speaker 5: the reason that she's like, Never mind, I'm not going
- 17:33Speaker 5: to be friends with this guy who I've been friends
- 17:34Speaker 5: with forever.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
- 17:36Speaker 1: So what you're saying is, if it turns out to
- 17:39Speaker 1: be true, you heard it first here.
- 17:41Speaker 7: Okay.
- 17:41Speaker 6: Yeah, okay. I think Bill was just on his phone
- 17:45Speaker 6: scrolling and he saw one of those spam ads. Yeah,
- 17:47Speaker 6: there's a lot of gossip. There's a lot of like
- 17:49Speaker 6: these kind of made up stories.
- 17:50Speaker 1: But 80% of what we do every single morning is
- 17:54Speaker 1: based on the same sources. Every single morning. Some of
- 17:59Speaker 1: them happen to be true and some of them have
- 18:01Speaker 1: to be made up.
- 18:02Speaker 7: It is.
- 18:02Speaker 6: We do like to call it the speculation report.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 18:06Speaker 6: So, okay, I'm on board.
- 18:07Speaker 7: Okay?
- 18:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm on board.
- 18:08Speaker 7: You get it now?
- 18:08Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Okay. Ella Langley's Shoes in Texas, number one on the
- 18:12Speaker 1: Billboard chart for a 21st week now, which breaks the
- 18:16Speaker 1: tie with Lil Nas X. And the only song with
- 18:20Speaker 1: a longer streak now is Mariah Carey's All I Want
- 18:22Speaker 1: for Christmas. However, Ella Langley does have the number one song, Non-Holiday.
- 18:27Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Come on, baby. It's pretty... Pretty big deal.
- 18:31Speaker 2: It is a big deal. To unseat Mariah.
- 18:33Speaker 1: That song has been number one, like, forever.
- 18:38Speaker 7: Massive.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Like, when did it come out, All I Want for Christmas?
- 18:42Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
- 18:43Speaker 12: 90s?
- 18:44Speaker 5: 90s, right?
- 18:44Speaker 7: Yes.
- 18:44Speaker 6: Yeah, a long time.
- 18:45Speaker 7: Wow.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Meantime, the top songs of summer have Ella Langley at
- 18:50Speaker 1: number one and my pal Taylor Swift at number two
- 18:54Speaker 1: with I Knew It. I Knew You.
- 18:56Speaker 5: Okay.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Very nice.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I like that song. Meantime, Ariana Grande just yesterday released
- 19:07Speaker 1: her live album. This is an iTunes exclusive. The album
- 19:11Speaker 1: includes Hate That I Made You Love Me, which tops
- 19:14Speaker 1: Spotify's list of top summer songs. This one right here.
- 19:17Speaker 6: Man, it sounds like the studio version.
- 19:24Speaker 1: I know.
- 19:24Speaker 6: Doesn't it? Yeah, the album came out in July. This
- 19:28Speaker 6: is all live. That song on the live album was
- 19:31Speaker 6: from the rehearsal.
- 19:34Speaker 1: And we saw her live.
- 19:35Speaker 6: Yeah, sounds incredible.
- 19:36Speaker 1: So a lot of the album we witnessed, I'm just saying.
- 19:40Speaker 1: And Bruno Mars had his shows at Gillette Stadium. Cell
- 19:44Speaker 1: phones were allowed. well-documented. We got a lot of videos
- 19:50Speaker 1: from a lot of people at those shows. They were
- 19:53Speaker 1: not locked up. He had no problem with that. It's
- 19:56Speaker 1: too big to control. If it's a stadium, you can't
- 19:59Speaker 1: have a cell phone rule.
- 20:00Speaker 6: He didn't even try to. He admitted that.
- 20:02Speaker 1: But the smaller venues... He says he does ban cell phones.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I call it removing option C.
- 20:08Speaker 6: Okay. Okay?
- 20:09Speaker 12: Option A, you're having the greatest time. Option B, you're not.
- 20:14Speaker 12: And those are your choices.
- 20:15Speaker 6: Okay.
- 20:16Speaker 7: Right?
- 20:16Speaker 12: Option C is, well, I don't know what to feel,
- 20:19Speaker 12: so I'm going to put my phone on and record.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Oh.
- 20:23Speaker 12: So if you take away option C, then you're forced
- 20:26Speaker 12: to either have a good.
- 20:26Speaker 4: Time or not.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Yeah, be in the moment.
- 20:30Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Enjoy the music.
- 20:32Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just the way that's the world we live
- 20:35Speaker 6: in today. Every concert, everyone has their phone up. We're
- 20:38Speaker 6: all guilty of it.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Yep. But a lot of artists do get upset. They say,
- 20:41Speaker 1: could you please put your cell phones down and enjoy
- 20:44Speaker 1: the show?
- 20:44Speaker 3: But I have to say, at Ariana Grande, when we
- 20:45Speaker 3: were all together, I filmed like one or two things,
- 20:48Speaker 3: and then I put my phone away because I wanted
- 20:50Speaker 3: to enjoy the moment.
- 20:51Speaker 2: I wanted to enjoy her performance.
- 20:53Speaker 1: But when you look around, everybody's got their phone on.
- 20:55Speaker 2: They do.
- 20:56Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 20:56Speaker 1: You're at the show. I know.
- 20:58Speaker 2: You have to make a conscious effort not to.
- 21:01Speaker 6: I try to, when I'm filming, actually look at the
- 21:03Speaker 6: show and just hold my phone up instead of watch
- 21:06Speaker 6: through the screen. That's the best that I can do.
- 21:09Speaker 6: We went to a couple of shows they did that.
- 21:11Speaker 6: They locked the phones up. Once the comics come home,
- 21:14Speaker 6: Pete Davidson got added to the lineup. And he did
- 21:17Speaker 6: not want his act to leak, so we had to
- 21:19Speaker 6: lock the phones up.
- 21:20Speaker 1: And I understand that because he was working on new
- 21:22Speaker 1: material and he didn't want it released yet.
- 21:25Speaker 6: He didn't want it out there yet. It's very common
- 21:27Speaker 6: for comedians to do. By the way, that was the
- 21:29Speaker 6: show that he went off on the guy in the crowd.
- 21:32Speaker 1: The heckler.
- 21:33Speaker 6: He was getting heckled.
- 21:34Speaker 1: There was one show, I think, at the Box Center,
- 21:37Speaker 1: I think a comedian, that we had to hand in
- 21:41Speaker 1: our cell phones and put them in a pouch, a
- 21:43Speaker 1: locked pouch.
- 21:44Speaker 6: It might have been Nikki Glaser.
- 21:46Speaker 1: I think it was.
- 21:47Speaker 6: Yes.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Good call. Good call. Two of the Spice Girls, Ginger
- 21:51Speaker 1: and Baby Spice, are in a new... Oh, my God.
- 21:53Speaker 2: It's hilarious.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Dunkin' commercial with Pumpkin Spice. We've got a clip.
- 21:59Speaker 2: The secret to our group was that everyone had their
- 22:01Speaker 2: own flavor. Ginger had red hair. And Baby was the youngest.
- 22:05Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't know, but we originally
- 22:07Speaker 1: had a.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Sixth member, Pumpkin Spice.
- 22:10Speaker 1: I like pumpkin.
- 22:12Speaker 3: She had so many amazing tracks.
- 22:14Speaker 1: There was, my favourite was Bumpin' Pumpkins.
- 22:18Speaker 6: Pumpkins, pumpkins, oh, I like pumpkins.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Do you like pumpkins?
- 22:22Speaker 2: I sure do. Voice of an angel.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Total banger. A little bit sweet, a little bit nice.
- 22:28Speaker 2: You want to taste.
- 22:29Speaker 10: My pumpkin spice.
- 22:31Speaker 11: Every fall, this is what I really want.
- 22:34Speaker 1: LAUGHTER Should we get the band back together?
- 22:39Speaker 5: No.
- 22:39Speaker 2: That was hilarious. And Rachel Dratch is the pumpkin.
- 22:43Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 22:43Speaker 2: That's hilarious. You okay, pumpkin? It's so funny.
- 22:47Speaker 4: Let's get the band.
- 22:48Speaker 5: No.
- 22:48Speaker 4: No.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I don't think so. No.
- 22:52Speaker 13: You okay, pumpkin?
- 22:53Speaker 6: No, actually.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Are you big fans of pumpkin spice? I don't think
- 22:57Speaker 1: I've ever even had it.
- 22:59Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of flavored coffees.
- 23:01Speaker 4: Yeah, me either.
- 23:02Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 23:02Speaker 6: I love pumpkin spice.
- 23:03Speaker 7: Really?
- 23:04Speaker 2: I know you do.
- 23:04Speaker 6: It's just a lot of sugar, so I try to
- 23:06Speaker 6: limit it.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Yeah. I got to give it to the creative team
- 23:09Speaker 1: at Dunkin', though. They've been on fire with the commercials
- 23:11Speaker 1: over the last year or so. I mean, with the
- 23:13Speaker 1: Ben Affleck. I mean, they've had some really cool commercials. Anyway, Lisa,
- 23:18Speaker 1: new controversy between the two Alexes. What the hell is
- 23:22Speaker 1: going on now?
- 23:23Speaker 3: Well, now we have the payoff because we were waiting.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Remember Alex Earl, Alex Cooper? Alex Cooper accused Alex Earl
- 23:29Speaker 3: of shading her on social but wouldn't say anything.
- 23:31Speaker 2: And we knew it was going to come out in
- 23:33Speaker 2: the show. Well, it did.
- 23:34Speaker 3: And she basically said that she feels like– Alex Cooper
- 23:42Speaker 3: took advantage of her and used her and mistreated and
- 23:44Speaker 3: manipulated her.
- 23:45Speaker 2: She says, she says we were filming her podcast, call
- 23:48Speaker 2: her daddy.
- 23:49Speaker 3: And she was having his drink before and asking me
- 23:51Speaker 3: really sexual questions. I wasn't comfortable with, but I'm also
- 23:56Speaker 3: answering them because I'm so drunk. She said the questions
- 23:59Speaker 3: were really raunchy about her sexual past. And she just
- 24:03Speaker 3: didn't think it was funny.
- 24:04Speaker 2: How many guys did you your freshman year of college?
- 24:09Speaker 5: Two.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Love.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Were they good?
- 24:12Speaker 2: One?
- 24:14Speaker 4: No.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Very, very bad. Now, was she zip
- 24:18Speaker 1: tied for the interview?
- 24:20Speaker 7: No.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Made to be there and answer these questions?
- 24:22Speaker 3: She just felt like she was manipulated by Alex Cooper
- 24:26Speaker 3: all along. She looked up to her, but Alex Cooper
- 24:28Speaker 3: was using her and using her and using her. And
- 24:30Speaker 3: she was afraid, you know, if she didn't answer these
- 24:33Speaker 3: sexual questions that Alex Cooper would.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Get mad at her.
- 24:35Speaker 3: But she also didn't want them out there in the
- 24:37Speaker 3: universe for like, you know, when she's older and she's
- 24:39Speaker 3: having kids and all that kind of stuff.
- 24:40Speaker 6: So she couldn't have said, no, I'm not going to
- 24:42Speaker 6: answer that. Alex Cooper did give her the opportunity. But
- 24:44Speaker 6: like Lisa said, she felt kind of stuck.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Manipulating.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:48Speaker 6: She didn't want to say no to Alex Cooper.
- 24:50Speaker 7: Right.
- 24:51Speaker 1: And this new project was just dropped, right?
- 24:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it was her show. So wasn't it all just
- 24:55Speaker 2: a lead up.
- 24:56Speaker 1: To bring more attention to the project?
- 24:58Speaker 2: I know that's your theory, that it's just one big...
- 25:02Speaker 2: It was staged.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Well, she held it until the show. They had liquor
- 25:05Speaker 1: all over the set during the interview.
- 25:06Speaker 6: You could see the bottles of liquor. Oh, they were
- 25:08Speaker 6: dressed to the nines.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Just saying. Okay.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Just saying.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow went on Benny Blanco's podcast this week and...
- 25:23Speaker 1: asked about her famous vagina candles. I wanna know about
- 25:26Speaker 1: the vagina candle.
- 25:27Speaker 2: I was working on a perfume with this amazing nose
- 25:31Speaker 2: named Douglas Little, and I like things that smell kind
- 25:34Speaker 2: of unusual. We were experimenting with tomato leaf.
- 25:38Speaker 1: And, seaweed.
- 25:39Speaker 2: And so I said to him, well, this one smells
- 25:41Speaker 2: like my vagina. So he thought I was serious and
- 25:45Speaker 2: made a candle called this smells like my vagina. It
- 25:47Speaker 2: definitely does not smell like my vagina.
- 25:50Speaker 7: It became such a big thing that we actually stopped
- 25:52Speaker 7: selling it because it was distracting people from what we
- 25:54Speaker 7: were doing.
- 25:55Speaker 2: It was such a big launch. And I remember you
- 25:59Speaker 2: got me one of those candles.
- 26:00Speaker 1: I sure did.
- 26:01Speaker 2: I still have it. And it does smell good.
- 26:03Speaker 1: And it had its own moment when one of your
- 26:05Speaker 1: work crews walked in and saw the vagina candle on
- 26:08Speaker 1: the counter.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, the plumber.
- 26:10Speaker 6: It's still in your house?
- 26:11Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
- 26:13Speaker 2: I still have it.
- 26:14Speaker 1: I must tell you, though, it does have a nice
- 26:16Speaker 1: smell to it.
- 26:16Speaker 7: It does.
- 26:17Speaker 6: I think I smelled it when you had it.
- 26:18Speaker 2: It smells so good.
- 26:20Speaker 1: I sniffed it when I bought it.
- 26:21Speaker 2: I know you did. Well, it was from Ernie Bach.
- 26:24Speaker 2: He gave it to us. He had like a hundred
- 26:26Speaker 2: of them.
- 26:26Speaker 6: Ernie bought a whole bunch of them.
- 26:27Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Gwyneth Paltrow was in town at the Red Sox game.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Oh, that's right.
- 26:32Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 26:32Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:34Speaker 1: I wonder what brought her to town.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Well, her husband, Brad Falchuk, is from here.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Oh, hey, did you tell me Ben Affleck's dad passed?
- 26:43Speaker 3: So this is a while ago, but they're just coming
- 26:44Speaker 3: forward now. Casey announced it yesterday.
- 26:47Speaker 2: And so his mom and dad are both are both deceased.
- 26:51Speaker 7: Wow.
- 26:52Speaker 2: I know.
- 26:52Speaker 6: Well, his mom, yes, mom, that was recent.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Just in June.
- 26:55Speaker 6: So the dad was before that.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Of pancreatic cancer. And then, yeah, the dad was right before.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Oh, boy. And you met his parents, right? Yes, I did. Mom, Chris,
- 27:02Speaker 1: I actually had a drink with, if you don't mind,
- 27:04Speaker 1: in Hawaii. But anyway, yes, our prayers and well wishes
- 27:07Speaker 1: go out to Ben. We love Ben Affleck. Great, great guy.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Red Sox did not win six games in a row.
- 27:13Speaker 1: The winning streak stopped at five games. They lost to
- 27:15Speaker 1: the Angels. How about this? The Bruins signed Fraser Minton.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Seven years for a hockey player? That's a risk. I mean,
- 27:24Speaker 1: he's fabulous, but seven years, $ 50 million. That's a big deal.
- 27:28Speaker 6: It's no Christian Gonzalez contract.
- 27:30Speaker 1: No, not really. He got four years, $ 135 million. A
- 27:35Speaker 1: little difference between football and hockey. Anyway, we're brought to
- 27:38Speaker 1: you by Dover Rug at Home to see if the
- 27:40Speaker 1: rug you liked in the store, a rug you will

- 28:32Speaker 1: Enjoy the show. Thank you.

- 28:40Speaker 1: You come up with that? You did, right? I believe
- 28:43Speaker 1: I did. All right. Bill is a perfect specimen.
- 28:45Speaker 6: Look at his powerful, devoted shoulders, his strong, reliable chin,
- 28:49Speaker 6: sculpted rock-hard pecs, pecs you could motorboat.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Oh, boy.

- 29:06Speaker 1: one more time. 877-617-1108. You can also leave us a
- 29:11Speaker 1: talk back, right, Justin?
- 29:13Speaker 6: Yeah, iHeartRadio app. It's a free download to your phone.
- 29:16Speaker 6: It's that little red microphone, but you have to be
- 29:18Speaker 6: listening to us. Yeah.
- 29:20Speaker 1: You want to get involved with the show because, well,
- 29:22Speaker 1: we got a DM from a listener who needs our help.
- 29:25Speaker 7: We do.
- 29:25Speaker 3: We love DMs from listeners. So they sent us this one. Hey,
- 29:29Speaker 3: Billy and Lisa, I have a dilemma I need help with.
- 29:33Speaker 3: I was asked to be in my friend's wedding party
- 29:36Speaker 3: for her wedding next summer.
- 29:38Speaker 2: I would love to be in the wedding, but the
- 29:40Speaker 2: problem is she owes me.
- 29:41Speaker 3: $ 800 from a trip we took together last year.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Help me. What do I do?
- 29:48Speaker 1: Oh, this is a tough one. This is a tough one.
- 29:52Speaker 1: Because if she's being asked to be in the wedding,
- 29:54Speaker 1: my guess is there's probably going to be a destination
- 29:58Speaker 1: bachelorette party. The wedding itself is going to be costly, right?
- 30:02Speaker 2: The shower.
- 30:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 30:03Speaker 9: Right.
- 30:04Speaker 6: There's going to be money that will be spent.
- 30:06Speaker 10: Right.
- 30:06Speaker 3: And she's already out $ 800. She's already in the hole
- 30:11Speaker 3: starting this whole process out. And the fact that they
- 30:13Speaker 3: haven't had a conversation around why she still owes $ 800.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Is the part that's getting me on this.
- 30:22Speaker 1: So should she be in the wedding or not?
- 30:24Speaker 2: Well, I think that she should. This would just be
- 30:26Speaker 2: my opinion.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Have the conversation with her friend about the money from
- 30:31Speaker 3: the trip and, you know, start the conversation off nice saying,
- 30:34Speaker 3: I so excited that you asked me to be in
- 30:36Speaker 3: your wedding.
- 30:37Speaker 8: Right.
- 30:38Speaker 6: Smooth it over.
- 30:39Speaker 2: No, but like, this is such an honor.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Um, I, I'm not sure if you remember, but we
- 30:44Speaker 3: still have that $ 800, you know, thing going on. So
- 30:48Speaker 3: maybe we could figure something out and then I'd love
- 30:50Speaker 3: to move forward and help you plan like the best
- 30:53Speaker 3: day of your life.
- 30:54Speaker 1: It's going to be an uncomfortable conversation.
- 30:55Speaker 3: It's going to be uncomfortable, but they have to get
- 30:57Speaker 3: over that. Cause again, it's like $ 800 is a lot
- 31:00Speaker 3: of money.
- 31:00Speaker 6: It is.
- 31:01Speaker 1: So you agree, Bill, with lease? Um, see, I'm thinking
- 31:05Speaker 1: she should just say, no, thank you.
- 31:08Speaker 6: And not bring up the money.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Um, I don't know. Yeah, just say no thanks, but
- 31:15Speaker 1: I just feel a little uncomfortable because there's a situation here.
- 31:19Speaker 1: And then it all gets really weird anyway. There's no
- 31:23Speaker 1: comfortable way around this, I don't think.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Right, but here's the thing.
- 31:26Speaker 3: The focus right now is she needs to get her money, okay?
- 31:29Speaker 3: She needs to get her $ 800 back. Let's just, like,
- 31:32Speaker 3: start from zero. So she has to have the uncomfortable conversation.
- 31:36Speaker 6: See, I'm on the opposite side. I would say yes,
- 31:38Speaker 6: and I would do it. And I wouldn't even bring
- 31:41Speaker 6: it up. Until after.
- 31:43Speaker 1: And then how would you bring it up after?
- 31:45Speaker 6: Well, then you can have a conversation and, you know,
- 31:47Speaker 6: maybe try to smooth it over.
- 31:48Speaker 1: What, are you going to call her on the honeymoon?
- 31:51Speaker 6: It was my friend. I wouldn't want to ruin their
- 31:53Speaker 6: big day. And, you know, it's a big moment in life.
- 31:56Speaker 6: I would just suck it up, do it, and then
- 31:58Speaker 6: maybe after bring up the money.
- 32:00Speaker 3: I know, but again, we don't know if this person, like,
- 32:03Speaker 3: what their financial situation is. So the $ 800, obviously she's
- 32:07Speaker 3: still holding onto it, right?
- 32:09Speaker 2: Because she's like, she still owes me.
- 32:10Speaker 6: From a year ago. Right.
- 32:12Speaker 3: So I think you can start off the conversation and
- 32:14Speaker 3: just bring it up.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Or how about she gives a wedding gift?
- 32:20Speaker 9: Right?
- 32:21Speaker 1: But in the envelope, it's an invoice. There's an option, right?
- 32:26Speaker 1: Because then all is said and done. They had the wedding.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Everybody's happy. And just put a little bill in there.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Make it a nice wedding card, a lovely wedding card.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Thank you so much for involving me. By the way,
- 32:37Speaker 1: this is my bill for the $ 800 vacation tab.
- 32:41Speaker 6: Well, you might as well just send a Venmo request.
- 32:44Speaker 1: Or that.
- 32:45Speaker 6: Send a Venmo request.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Yeah. Congrats on the wedding. What a beautiful event it was.
- 32:49Speaker 3: Again, you can have a nice conversation and start out
- 32:51Speaker 3: and be like, I'm so excited that you want me
- 32:53Speaker 3: to be in your wedding.
- 32:54Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Like you're a good friend of mine.
- 32:56Speaker 6: The trouble with that lease, though, is that when does
- 33:00Speaker 6: it sound like an ultimatum?
- 33:02Speaker 2: I don't think it's an ultimatum.
- 33:03Speaker 3: I think I think obviously they I mean, again, if
- 33:07Speaker 3: you owe your friend eight hundred dollars, I don't know
- 33:10Speaker 3: about you.
- 33:10Speaker 1: That's a lot of money.
- 33:11Speaker 6: It's a lot of dough.
- 33:12Speaker 1: That's a lot of money.
- 33:13Speaker 2: And that would weigh on me if I owed someone
- 33:15Speaker 2: that kind of money.
- 33:16Speaker 1: And if she asks about the $ 800 in the middle
- 33:18Speaker 1: of this whole wedding thing, the bride-to-be is going to
- 33:22Speaker 1: turn it on her. Right? It's not going to end well.
- 33:27Speaker 6: It's possible.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Producer Riley, you're in the situation. What are you doing?
- 33:30Speaker 7: I know.
- 33:31Speaker 5: I think as much as we always say that I'm
- 33:33Speaker 5: the kind of person that would be like, give me
- 33:35Speaker 5: the money. I feel like I kind of agree with you, Justin,
- 33:38Speaker 5: especially if it's a really good friend of mine. I
- 33:42Speaker 5: would want to be I would feel sad to not
- 33:45Speaker 5: be part of it. Like if it's a good friend
- 33:48Speaker 5: of mine, I would want I would want to be
- 33:50Speaker 5: part of her big day. And then after I feel
- 33:53Speaker 5: like I'd be like, now that you have all this
- 33:55Speaker 5: wedding money, you you owe me a debt. Now that
- 34:00Speaker 5: you've collected all this cash.
- 34:01Speaker 2: As presents, can I have my cash back, please?
- 34:04Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good idea. You know how they have
- 34:07Speaker 1: some weddings, I think, still have the velvet bag?
- 34:11Speaker 2: They do.
- 34:12Speaker 1: You know, where people put the envelopes in the velvet bag.
- 34:14Speaker 1: She can just sneak her envelope into the velvet bag
- 34:18Speaker 1: with a little invoice. By the way, great time. Thank
- 34:20Speaker 1: you so much for letting me be a part of it.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Yeah, you're flush in cash now.
- 34:26Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Show me the money.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Wow. Here you go.
- 34:28Speaker 6: Riley, just say what you would do. Just say it.
- 34:30Speaker 7: Can you not just pull a Riley and charge her
- 34:33Speaker 7: on Venmo?
- 34:33Speaker 1: Yeah, we know that's what you would do.
- 34:38Speaker 6: All right, let's help this listener out.
- 34:42Speaker 7: 877-617-1108.
- 34:42Speaker 6: Should she say something? Should she just do the wedding?
- 34:45Speaker 6: What should she do? Also, have you been in this situation?
- 34:48Speaker 6: Have you been owed money and been afraid to say something?
- 34:51Speaker 6: Give us a call or a talkback on the iHeart app.
- 34:54Speaker 2: Billy and Lisa in the morning. Kiss 108.

- 35:09Speaker 1: a listener who needs our help. Read it again, please.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Hey, Billy and Lisa, I have a dilemma I need
- 35:14Speaker 2: help with.
- 35:14Speaker 3: I was asked to be in my friend's wedding party
- 35:17Speaker 3: for her wedding next summer.
- 35:19Speaker 2: I would love to be in the wedding. The problem is.
- 35:22Speaker 3: She owes me $ 800.
- 35:24Speaker 2: From a trip we took last year. Help me. What
- 35:27Speaker 2: do I do?
- 35:28Speaker 1: This is going to be an uncomfortable wedding. Let's go
- 35:31Speaker 1: right to the phones. Carrie is calling in from Weymouth.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Good morning, Carrie. What do you think about this DM?
- 35:37Speaker 2: Good morning.
- 35:38Speaker 5: I think that you could possibly just tell her, hey,
- 35:42Speaker 5: because I loaned you that money, I don't really have
- 35:44Speaker 5: the money to be in the wedding.
- 35:46Speaker 13: However, if you want.
- 35:48Speaker 4: To pay for my dress and the activities, I can
- 35:50Speaker 4: deduct it from the amount that you owe me.
- 35:52Speaker 1: That's actually a pretty good solution right there.
- 35:55Speaker 2: That's a good idea.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like, oh, yeah, don't forget you owe me $ 800.
- 35:58Speaker 1: So if you want to put the $ 800 toward what
- 36:01Speaker 1: I have to pay to be a part of your wedding,
- 36:03Speaker 1: that would be awesome.
- 36:05Speaker 13: Yeah, I think that's a really good solution.
- 36:07Speaker 1: You know what, Carrie? You know who you are? You're
- 36:09Speaker 1: the voice of reason.
- 36:10Speaker 2: You know what, Charlie? You're a problem solver.
- 36:13Speaker 1: All of that and more.
- 36:14Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 36:15Speaker 6: See, I'm on the opposite end of this. I'm not
- 36:16Speaker 6: saying anything. I'm just going to do it, suck it up,
- 36:19Speaker 6: and then have the conversation after. But I'm not going
- 36:21Speaker 6: to mess up the wedding, the big day.
- 36:24Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 36:25Speaker 6: It's just me.
- 36:25Speaker 1: But do you realize how many people who are going
- 36:28Speaker 1: to be at that wedding have had a conversation privately
- 36:31Speaker 1: with our DMer about this dilemma?
- 36:35Speaker 6: Probably lots.
- 36:35Speaker 5: Right.
- 36:36Speaker 1: And they're all sitting around buzzing. So what they end
- 36:39Speaker 1: up doing about that money she owed so-and-so.
- 36:41Speaker 3: I think the fact that the person who DMed us
- 36:44Speaker 3: is mentioning the $ 800 means this is an important thing
- 36:47Speaker 3: to her. And maybe she doesn't have all that extra
- 36:50Speaker 3: money to just kind of go along with the wedding
- 36:52Speaker 3: and then ask for it after. I just think tough
- 36:55Speaker 3: conversations around money are the one thing that always splits people.
- 36:59Speaker 10: I completely agree with Lisa. And to be honest, I
- 37:04Speaker 10: hate being in weddings. I just want to be a guest.
- 37:07Speaker 10: I don't want to be asked. I absolutely hate it.
- 37:10Speaker 10: I hate money involved.
- 37:12Speaker 2: I hate all.
- 37:13Speaker 1: The bridezilla stuff.
- 37:14Speaker 10: But honestly, I totally agree with Lisa and she needs
- 37:17Speaker 10: to have this conversation ASAP.
- 37:20Speaker 7: Oh, boy.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm getting scared for her. Yeah.
- 37:26Speaker 6: I mean, shame on the friend, right? Shame on the friend,
- 37:30Speaker 6: you know, for not paying the 800 bucks, first of all.
- 37:32Speaker 1: Well, it's possible the friend forgot about the $ 800, but
- 37:36Speaker 1: I doubted this was a group trip or something. And
- 37:38Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 37:39Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.
- 37:39Speaker 1: She's supposed to Venmo the money.
- 37:41Speaker 6: It was a group trip. It was owed to her.
- 37:43Speaker 6: So that's that's where the $ 800 came from.
- 37:46Speaker 3: I think she knows she owes her $ 800.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Again, it's not $ 20, right?
- 37:51Speaker 1: It's a lot of dough.
- 37:53Speaker 11: Could open it up to her friend and ask her
- 37:56Speaker 11: if she wants to pay her before or after the
- 37:59Speaker 11: wedding or maybe half and half.
- 38:02Speaker 6: Oh, 50-50.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be a good solution.
- 38:06Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if she brings it up to the bride-to-be,
- 38:11Speaker 1: the bride-to-be is going to turn it on her. how
- 38:14Speaker 1: dare you do this around my wedding? Now you're going
- 38:18Speaker 1: to bring up the $ 800. Now with my, I'm asking
- 38:21Speaker 1: you to be in my wedding and you want to
- 38:23Speaker 1: bring up the $ 800. That's what she, I'm not saying
- 38:25Speaker 1: she's right, but that's how it's going to be dealt with.
- 38:28Speaker 6: I agree with that. I also got a kick out
- 38:30Speaker 6: of producer Riley's comments about wait until the gifts.
- 38:34Speaker 2: She's flush with cash.
- 38:36Speaker 1: Full of cash.
- 38:38Speaker 3: Well, then if she still doesn't give it to you, then,
- 38:40Speaker 3: you know, like she's no longer your friend.
- 38:42Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 38:42Speaker 6: Then you just walk away.
- 38:43Speaker 9: I'm with Justin. I wouldn't want to ruin her big
- 38:46Speaker 9: day with bringing that up before everything.
- 38:48Speaker 2: And not to mention when you lend money to friends, unfortunately,
- 38:52Speaker 2: you have to expect that.
- 38:53Speaker 9: You're not going to get it back.
- 38:55Speaker 2: I don't I don't I think that.
- 38:58Speaker 3: I think that, again, it's an $ 800 trip. I think
- 39:01Speaker 3: you do expect to get that money back.
- 39:04Speaker 7: Or, or.
- 39:05Speaker 2: I mean, would you expect your friend to pay for
- 39:07Speaker 2: a trip for you, Justin?
- 39:09Speaker 1: No.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Producer Riley, would.
- 39:10Speaker 3: You expect your friend Kelly to pay $ 800 for a trip?
- 39:14Speaker 5: No, I would expect that money back, and I would
- 39:15Speaker 5: expect to be giving it to her. Correct.
- 39:17Speaker 2: If it was roles reversed.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Maybe, maybe the bride-to-be is planning on giving her the
- 39:22Speaker 1: $ 800 when she's flush with cash from the wedding. Maybe
- 39:26Speaker 1: that's been her plan all along.
- 39:28Speaker 4: Well, you know what?
- 39:30Speaker 1: Even the husband-to-be, she probably told him, you know, once
- 39:33Speaker 1: we get our wedding money, I do have to take
- 39:35Speaker 1: $ 800 out to get to so-and-so. And you know what?
- 39:37Speaker 6: Here's hoping that they do that. That would be good, yeah.
- 39:40Speaker 6: But then my plan would work there. So if you
- 39:42Speaker 6: don't say anything, but then if you don't get paid
- 39:45Speaker 6: after that, then you've got to have the real conversation.
- 39:47Speaker 6: Let's go to Diane in Salem, line two.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Good morning, Diane. What do you think about this dilemma?
- 39:54Speaker 13: I think it's pretty easy. I think that she should
- 39:57Speaker 13: definitely not make a scene about anything. And she should
- 40:01Speaker 13: tell her friend that she would love to be in
- 40:03Speaker 13: the wedding if she wants to. And then when she
- 40:06Speaker 13: gives her her wedding card, she should write in the
- 40:08Speaker 13: wedding card, instead of $ 800, you only owe me X,
- 40:12Speaker 13: whatever she wants to give her.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Yeah, see, that was my thing. You got to say it.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Nice little wedding card. Beautiful ceremony.
- 40:19Speaker 6: I love the wedding.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Everybody had a ball.
- 40:22Speaker 2: By the way, here's... I just think that's bizarre, right?
- 40:31Speaker 2: Here's my bill.
- 40:32Speaker 1: What are you going to, like, handwrite it?
- 40:34Speaker 3: Yes!
- 40:35Speaker 6: Like, I accept, what, checks?
- 40:38Speaker 1: $ 800 for the San Juan trip or, you know, Acapulco.
- 40:43Speaker 1: And then they write back, I owe you. I owe you.
- 40:47Speaker 7: Regarding the owed money, I feel like I would try
- 40:52Speaker 7: to give her the benefit of the doubt, like, it
- 40:55Speaker 7: flipped her mind. I mean, $ 800 is a lot of
- 40:59Speaker 7: money to forget about, but if they're good enough friends
- 41:02Speaker 7: that she asked her to be in the wedding, they
- 41:05Speaker 7: should be good enough friends to have a conversation. Other
- 41:09Speaker 7: than that, she could send her a Venmo request and
- 41:12Speaker 7: see what happens.
- 41:13Speaker 1: That's Riley's thing.
- 41:14Speaker 6: Just send a Venmo request.
- 41:15Speaker 1: At the end of the day... It's all about Venmo.
- 41:17Speaker 2: Just let Venmo do it for you.
- 41:19Speaker 6: Just hit the Venmo request. That's it.
- 41:21Speaker 9: Guys, all you have to do is say... Hey, Jessica. Oh,
- 41:25Speaker 9: thank you for including me in your plans for your wedding. Unfortunately,
- 41:28Speaker 9: I'm a little short on cash to the tune of
- 41:31Speaker 9: like 800 bucks. So, yeah, you want to get that
- 41:35Speaker 9: back to me, you know, at your earliest convenience, then
- 41:38Speaker 9: I can start splurging on your big day.
- 41:40Speaker 11: Thanks.
