• 1:20

• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not one of my biggest I mean, growing up,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you, I was really believing at
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: one point i'd be a professional baseball player.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Oh wow.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: And my brother we thought we thought were going to
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: be like the first Brothers taken by a professional team.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Were you big on the stickball court? Oh?
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: We played stickball around the clock. It wasn't a professional
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: stickball league though at the time.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: But no. And my mom god restler, so she was convinced.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: We were going to both play for the Red Sox.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: The first brother is on the Red Sox. So is
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: it my wife that my son's going to be a professional? Way,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: it's a good dream. It's good.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Honestly.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: You have to have a dream, you really do. You
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: have to have a passion for something.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: What would be your dream job, Jess?
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I mean I would have to be something in recovery, right,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: That's something I'm passionate about. And I feel like if
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't go into radio, i'd probably go into that,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: you know, helping other people, you know, clean up their lives.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I got to ask producer Riley because I'm just very
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: curious if you weren't here, your dream job would be.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: What. I think that I always wanted to work in
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: entertainment somehow, so I think if I didn't go radio,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: it would have gone like TV or something.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Like a TV producer.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I've always loved the idea of working on like a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: reality TV show, like a Love Island, where you're like
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the person that's like conducting all the drama, all.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: The drama, making up the stories.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: See, I would think sports, well.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Sports is just really hard to get into. So I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: do like the idea of working in sports, but I
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: think that there are people that are much more qualified
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to work in sports than me.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: So you do know Bill and Lisa that producer Riley
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: has applied for an announcer's position at probably every sports
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: team in Boston and can't even get a call back.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That is true.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I want to be an in arena host, So if
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: anybody wants to hire me, please.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: By the way, Riley, Jenny and I are looking for
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: a producer and we're on a sports network.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: That is true.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Get you in the door.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: All right, you get a double dose of Bill. That's
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: why we open it up for question.
• 5:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, my question is who would win in a fight,
• 5:20
  Speaker 9: McCabe or mikey V.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, this is a good question.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I would have to go with mikey V. I'm just
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: going with Mike. Used to be like, didn't you play
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: football or something?
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Well he had like a Division five okay, professional baseball.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Kidding Mikey, I love you when you know idea. No,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: he was a legitimate quarterback.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: He was a stone Hill and played a stone Hill.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I gotta go mikey V too. I don't think McCabe
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: has a shot. Oh, hands down, Mike ev.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: It would make melod bath.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Well, McCabe has a small feet, his tiny little feet. Yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: so you know you got to make sure you can
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: move around.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Maybe we should set that up, Mike versus the Mighty one.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Oh imagine they each get their own Entouragees, we have
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: a professional ring.
• 6:05

  Speaker 6: I set up Alisa's book club there.
• 11:06

  Speaker 5: This is good.

  Speaker 4: All right, So the karaoke that was that was that
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: was great. You can watch that video on your Instagram
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: at the Billy Costa. But then there was the talkbacker. Joe.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: What's the story that she left the talkback yesterday? I
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: gave you her phone number which I got from the talkbacks,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: and you no matter.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Uh, Okay.
• 11:32
  Speaker 12: There has been such a chain of events that has
• 11:35
  Speaker 12: happened down here, the result of Joe the talkbacker. Okay,
• 11:41
  Speaker 12: First of all, Joe and her lovely husband picked us
• 11:45
  Speaker 12: up yesterday and drove us to the Running of the Bulls.
• 11:50
  Speaker 12: And then it was because of their connection to the
• 11:52
  Speaker 12: Running of the Bulls that we were invited by a
• 11:56
  Speaker 12: family into a home where they had buffets and tho
• 12:00
  Speaker 12: in free beer and wine, and we had VIP seats
• 12:04
  Speaker 12: for the bulls, which was one of the most extraordinary
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: things I've ever been to.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: You were right above where the bulls were. I saw
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: the video. You were eating a cheeseburger and drinking a beer.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know who this bill cost, that's for you, right,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: but he was right above where the bulls were.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: So what'd you see?
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: What was Did you see anbody get hurt?
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: What did I see? Oh? My god?
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: No.
• 12:23
  Speaker 12: First of all, I want to make a statement on
• 12:25
  Speaker 12: the bulls, okay, because I know I got a couple
• 12:26
  Speaker 12: of dms from people concerned about the bulls.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: It is a huge part of the.
• 12:31
  Speaker 12: Economy here, and it is beautifully run and the animals
• 12:35
  Speaker 12: could not be safer or better taken care of. In fact,
• 12:38
  Speaker 12: minutes ago, I just drove to a farm where all
• 12:42
  Speaker 12: these bulls are kept. It's like a paradise, and there
• 12:44
  Speaker 12: are very strict rules governing the bull events, but it's
• 12:48
  Speaker 12: a huge part of the economy. We were very aggressive
• 12:51
  Speaker 12: about asking questions about the safety of the bulls and
• 12:54
  Speaker 12: the conditions for the bulls.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: So I just want to make that clear for the
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: one or two people who had a problem with us
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: going to the there, I.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Said it, thank you, thank you for that update.
• 13:02
  Speaker 12: Okay, now, justin I know part of you was praying
• 13:07
  Speaker 12: that I would be gored. Let me just tell you something, Okay,
• 13:11
  Speaker 12: I've done my work on the bulls. First of all,
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: they're magnificent. If a bull gets you, a bull can
• 13:18
  Speaker 12: throw you clear into the air. I've found out, as
• 13:21
  Speaker 12: of a few minutes ago, that the bull can pick
• 13:24
  Speaker 12: up a car and throw it into the air by itself.
• 13:27
  Speaker 12: What do you think it would do with me?
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, it would be a game over for you. I
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: don't want you to. I didn't want you to lose
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: your life or even be badly hurt. Just a little bump,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: a little bit in the button.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you.
• 13:40
  Speaker 12: It is such a beautiful family event. When you go,
• 13:43
  Speaker 12: it's all families in their homes inviting their extended families
• 13:47
  Speaker 12: in and it's basically like a giant feast, a fiesta.
• 13:50
  Speaker 12: It's an all day affair. So I'm so happy that
• 13:53
  Speaker 12: I went there. It was awesome.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: That's cool.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: So when do you head back?
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: Why this afternoon? Now you might be wondering where I
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: am right now?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Where are you?
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 14:08
  Speaker 12: I am sitting, i'd think, at the most beautiful spot
• 14:10
  Speaker 12: on this island. But I'm sitting in a car. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 12: in the car with me is Joe the Talkbacker.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: You're like your valet the whole weekend.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: No, you have no idea.
• 14:24
  Speaker 12: They picked us up at the hotel upon checkout today
• 14:27
  Speaker 12: and took us all over the island and brought us
• 14:29
  Speaker 12: through the farms and everything.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: And Joe, how are you doing? Good?
• 14:34
  Speaker 11: Thank you?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: So what's Joe's story?
• 14:38
  Speaker 12: Like?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Why why are they living there?
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Him? Yeah, Lisa Duna, him wants to know Joe's story?
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, all right. First of all, she's from Charlestown.
• 14:48
  Speaker 11: So my husband is retired. My husband is from Cesseda
• 14:52
  Speaker 11: and he is retired. So he spends at least six
• 14:56
  Speaker 11: months here and then I am back and forth to
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: Boston and I can work here and then basically mute
• 15:03
  Speaker 11: back and forth for a few months.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: What a perfect lege.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Basically they're living my dream.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, apparently, apparently that's so cool. And Joe has left
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: talkbacks before I think for years. Yeah, and now there
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: you are.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: We have to well, we have to give Joe an
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: official name now, because our talkbackers, the regulars, all have names. Joe,
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: you are now the Portuguese Princess. Okay, we'll find out
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: if somebody else.
• 15:32
  Speaker 14: Has that name.
• 15:33
  Speaker 15: You gave it to the lady.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Huh. Oh, there's something else. Oh, that's right. Let us
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: at the airport when.
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: We arrived, and she listened every day, and she bought
• 15:46
  Speaker 12: a house down here in the island. There are nine
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: islands in the Azors. The Queen of Portugal, Joe can
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: be the Queen of Portugal. I got to tell you
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: a funny story, though. When you go out to dinner,
• 15:58
  Speaker 12: I wish I had known. It's very casual.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: And there was a point at which, like, I'm walking
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: the streets with Michelle wearing a Tanali sport coake from
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Ghibli's five Men's Clothing. I had a.
• 16:10
  Speaker 12: Pocket square in my pocket with a dress shirt and
• 16:13
  Speaker 12: matching sneakers. And Michelle turns to me and says, I
• 16:17
  Speaker 12: think these people are making fun of you, Like they're
• 16:19
  Speaker 12: all pointing at you from across the street. Going to
• 16:22
  Speaker 12: the restaurant, everybody's in a T shirt. Everybody's wearing T shirts,
• 16:25
  Speaker 12: and the restaurant it's no casual.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: It's awesome.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw you in that ghibli spotcoat and I thought.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, look at this guy. What is this guy from
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: right suit coat?
• 16:36
  Speaker 12: Just said I got to tell you something else you
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: could appreciate, because Michelle noticed something that wherever I was
• 16:41
  Speaker 12: going down here, I was using a weird Italian accent,
• 16:46
  Speaker 12: and you know, like, yah, somebody.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: Did something for me. I go out see and she's going,
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: you can't see that here. And then we were checking
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: into the hotel at one point and a woman made
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: a reservation and the years and I got all excited,
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: You're gonna love this one, yes, And I reached out
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: with my fish for a fist bumper.
• 17:10
  Speaker 14: And she just kind of looked at me with a
• 17:12
  Speaker 14: collapsed hand, like what what am I supposed to doing?
• 17:21
  Speaker 14: But I also went boom that just.

• 18:23
  Speaker 2: rally counting down the top five moments of the week
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: with you because this is the best of Billy and
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Lisa in the morning. And we had a Talkbacker say
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: she had a crazy pregnancy dream about Billy and he
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: is known for having some weird dreams. So Billy, kick
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: us off.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: All I know is I'm in the most danger in
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: my life during a dream.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: You really are being chased.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: My whole life absolutely in danger. Let's go to Victoria
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: in Boston. Good morning, Victoria. Do you have bad dreams?
• 18:51
  Speaker 15: Good morning. So I have this weird series of dreams
• 18:55
  Speaker 15: about fifteen years ago. For most of my life, I
• 18:57
  Speaker 15: was not afraid of bridges, and then all all of
• 19:00
  Speaker 15: a sudden, I started having a dream sequence where I
• 19:02
  Speaker 15: would crash in a car and go off of a bridge.
• 19:05
  Speaker 15: And so that happened for a few years, and it
• 19:08
  Speaker 15: was just intenseify to the point where I was like
• 19:11
  Speaker 15: very scared to drive over bridges. I'd be like panicky
• 19:14
  Speaker 15: and have these attacks. So they kept getting more intense,
• 19:18
  Speaker 15: and then finally I had a dream where I went
• 19:21
  Speaker 15: over and I was with my ex husband and I
• 19:23
  Speaker 15: died in the dream.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Oh wow, I was horrible.
• 19:25
  Speaker 15: I woke up. I was so freaked out all day long.
• 19:29
  Speaker 15: About a week later, I had it again. I was like,
• 19:31
  Speaker 15: oh my gosh, I you know, I guess it's true.
• 19:34
  Speaker 15: I guess it's not true. You don't if you die
• 19:35
  Speaker 15: in your dream, you don't die. And I was scared.
• 19:38
  Speaker 15: But then the dream after that, I went off the
• 19:41
  Speaker 15: bridge with my ex husband, but I was able to
• 19:44
  Speaker 15: get out of the car and swim to the shore
• 19:46
  Speaker 15: and save myself and I met, the fear of the
• 19:49
  Speaker 15: bridges went away, and I've never had that dream sequence again,
• 19:52
  Speaker 15: and that lasted for about seven or eight years.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Ha'd your husband make out in that last cry.
• 19:58
  Speaker 15: He died? Well, he's my ex husband. He died in
• 20:01
  Speaker 15: the dream, and you know he's no longer in my life.
• 20:03
  Speaker 15: So maybe that was a metaphor of things to come.
• 20:05
  Speaker 16: I don't know, maybe.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Gone.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm really interested that she actually died, because it's
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: not a thing. You don't actually die dreams.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: You wake up right before.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: It's like when I have a drug dream, because I'll
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: have dreams that I'm still using, and I always wake
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: up right before it hits.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Me, right before the high. It's it's usually the chase.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Of getting it, you know, It's like a relapse happens,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: and then I get it, and then I wake up
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: right before I get that feeling.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Do you ever have a dream when you're in a casket? No,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: that's weird.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's weird.
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: Hey, Morning crew. On the subject of dreams, I have
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: the most bizarre, crazy dreams every single night, every single night.
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: It is like a cinematic adventure my brain. I wish
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: I could turn it off. I wish I could explain it,
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: but if I tried to explain it, they'd probably put
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: me away.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Well give it a shot.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we want to hear Bill talks about his weird dreams.
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: But I wonder if, like, if you are a heavy dreamer,
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: does that mean you're getting a good night's sleep?
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, are you in deep sleep?
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Something could tell us that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: If someone knows, please call in or leave a talk back,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: because I'd love to know that too, because I don't
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: get enough deep sleep. I track my sleep. I only
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: get like eight minutes a night.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: I do know that dreams can be exhausting. You wake
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: up exhausted.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: What was the dream Bill was having when he overslept
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: and his nephew Buddy had to come wake him up
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: with the big head.
• 21:41
  Speaker 13: Billy hearing your description of Buddy when I taught him
• 21:44
  Speaker 13: in eighth grade, I think you nailed it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: That's exactly how he looked. Then, No, I did.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: My nephew Buddy is a real good looking guy, just
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: and one of the most talented DJs in the nation
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: by the way club DJs.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, But I just had that image now in
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: my head, Buddy with this big head paring down at you.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Is bigger than his body.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: Y Nana passed away last June, and she would always
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: make this homiae beef stew every Halloween and the family
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: loved it. She never told anyone the recipe except for
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: my son on a piece of paper, and I remember
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: having him show it to me so I could make it,
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: and he lost it. So I had a dream a
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: couple months ago that I was standing with my nana
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: at the stove and she was showing me how to
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: make it. It's just it's amazing what dreams can do.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is impactful.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Ryeah, I am. I'm such a fan of dreams. There's
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: so much I'd like to know, but then I don't.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I actually have a serious, kind of
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: a sad but serious dream story.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: I had a friend who had a daughter.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: We were very close, and then the daughter was twelve
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: when we were friends, and then we lost contact for
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: many years, and about five or six years ago, I
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: had a dream about him and his daughter, just a
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: good dream. I hadn't seen him in a long time,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: and I wanted to reach out to him to tell
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: him about the dream, and I couldn't find his number.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: I ended up finding an old phone that I had.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I opened the phone, found the number and called him.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: And when I called him, and I swear to God
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: this happened, he started talking to me and I told
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: him about the dream, and he said, is that why
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: you call me because of the dream. He's like, I
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: thought you heard about what happened. His daughter had been
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: killed in a boat all of days prior.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: It's like you had a premonition or I.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Don't know what it was.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: I had not dreamed about him or his daughter in years.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: He dreams are connected in so many different ways.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Definitely fascinating and yet's scary.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go to Alison and hang them.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Alison. Give us something from Hingham.
• 23:48
  Speaker 16: Huh, good morning, I'm calling. I'm also an addict, like Justin.
• 23:52
  Speaker 16: I've been in recovery for eight years, and I also
• 23:56
  Speaker 16: have dreams about drinking. But I'm always drinking, and I'm
• 24:00
  Speaker 16: drinking in front of people and begging them to believe
• 24:03
  Speaker 16: me that I'm not, in fact drinking. And then I
• 24:05
  Speaker 16: wake up with those same feelings that I'm sure you
• 24:08
  Speaker 16: remember what did I do last night, and have the
• 24:11
  Speaker 16: exact same feelings as I used to do when I
• 24:13
  Speaker 16: was actively drinking. Yeah, so that happens to me on
• 24:16
  Speaker 16: the regular.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you wake up and you feel like you actually
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: did relapse.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: I have those all the time.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you wake up and you think all the time
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: that I put.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: In must be signs that.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but again I never actually feel the feeling,
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: not that I want to. Yeah, it's like this chase
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: to get it, and then I get the stuff and
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I go to put it in my body and then
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: I wake up.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Allison, congratulations on eight years.
• 24:39
  Speaker 16: Thank you so much. I'm hoping you can tell me
• 24:40
  Speaker 16: in person because I also will be in Africa in February.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Oh well, let's talk. Okay, we got to talk to Africa.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: You and I will get together. Okay, stay and tat Allison.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: All right, Okay, aren't you going to the the Congo.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Or I think you're going to Rwanda?
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Have you been watching The New at all? Yes?
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: I haven't. Yeah yeah, yeah.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: And I can't even up to Michelle because you'll say,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: don't stop it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit. It's a ways away.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: So yeah, do you.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Have any idea what a gorilla can do to a
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: slight man like myself?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Well, that's not the concern is the Ebola breakout. And
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: then there's that Ebola breakout. Hopefully it'll be fixed by that.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I'm less afraid of ebola than I am of a
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: silver backed gorilla.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Hmmm.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that'll take you out. And you got you're
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: really up closer.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: You're very close.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: The can wash up against you on they do, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: you're on their mountain.
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Oh my, I'm sure you never want to lock eyes.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: No, they say, never look them and never ever.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Is it the same as monkeys. You're not supposed to
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: smile at them. Monkeys you don't smile. They take that
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: as a form of aggression.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you don't want to suggest to them that
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: you have an interest in them, And then then you
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: get really freaked out.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: All right, we'll wait and see what happens with the
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: African Anyway, back to the gym.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: I fall asleep. I'm hearing Ophelia. I wake up.
• 26:04
  Speaker 15: I walk to the bathroom. It's still playing in my head.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: I have the same soundtrack playing.
• 26:10
  Speaker 16: Please make it stop.
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: Please.

  Speaker 13: this is exciting for me and Checkmate.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: I think it's just one of these really.
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: Cool stories that you know a little about, but now
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: you can know really what happened. So yeah, So Checkmate
• 27:15
  Speaker 13: is the story about the biggest cheating scandal in the
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: history of chess. Magnus Carlson, who is like the Mozart
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: of chess.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: He's like the.
• 27:22
  Speaker 13: Greatest player in history, hadn't lost a match in two years.
• 27:26
  Speaker 13: He sits down to play this nineteen year old American
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: kid whose name is Hans Neiman, who's known as the
• 27:31
  Speaker 13: bad boy of chess. It's like, I know, it's chess, right,
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: he's like trashing. They trash hotel rooms. He's like, he's like,
• 27:40
  Speaker 13: you know, really crazy. He sits down, he's not even
• 27:42
  Speaker 13: paying attention. He's chewing gum, and he destroys magnets during
• 27:46
  Speaker 13: the match, and Magnus thinks, you know, this is bizarre
• 27:49
  Speaker 13: and then accuses him of cheating. And it turns into
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: this billion dollar scandal because chess dot com, which is
• 27:56
  Speaker 13: the giant organization, you know, it's grown from two kids
• 27:58
  Speaker 13: in a dorm room to being this multi billion dollar company.
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: They are about to buy Magnus Carlson as their face.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: So they end.
• 28:06
  Speaker 13: Up putting out a report trying to prove that Hans
• 28:09
  Speaker 13: Nemann had cheated, and then Hans ends up suing them
• 28:12
  Speaker 13: for one hundred million dollars, and so it's this crazy
• 28:14
  Speaker 13: kind of story about did this kid cheat or not?
• 28:17
  Speaker 13: And is there you know this scandal, is there cheating
• 28:20
  Speaker 13: going on all over.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: High level chess.
• 28:23
  Speaker 13: It's about prodigies and these kids who kind of explode
• 28:25
  Speaker 13: out of New Year. Suddenly there's like a twelve year
• 28:27
  Speaker 13: old sitting there and he's brilliant and he can beat anybody.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: And then Magnus Carlson.
• 28:31
  Speaker 13: Who is kind of an icon in that he is now,
• 28:35
  Speaker 13: you know, the greatest in history, but any twelve year
• 28:38
  Speaker 13: old with an iPhone can actually beat him now because
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: of AI.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: So it's it carries. There's a lot in this story.
• 28:43
  Speaker 13: There's a lot of levels to it, but it's basically
• 28:46
  Speaker 13: just a thriller set in this chest.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: Isn't the biggest part of the cheating how he was?
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: Yeah, so what made the scandal famous was the fact
• 28:57
  Speaker 13: that he may or may not have used anal beads
• 29:00
  Speaker 13: to cheat. That was the story and it kind of exploded.
• 29:05
  Speaker 13: But you know, one of my proudest moments as a
• 29:08
  Speaker 13: journalist is I tracked down the anal beads, not the
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: actual beats, but I tracked down where that came from
• 29:16
  Speaker 13: and how that became.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: Part of the story.
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: There's this dude in Liverpool who is a train He
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: takes tickets on the train and he is an Internet troll.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: That's what he does every night.
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: He comes home and he sits on the couch and
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: he tries to figure out how to make something go viral.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: And he was the source of the anal bead part
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: of this story.
• 29:36
  Speaker 13: And I don't think you know there was a Netflix
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: stock nobody else tracked this dude down, and so I
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: was very proud that I was able to find the
• 29:42
  Speaker 13: guy who came up with the anal beads and why
• 29:44
  Speaker 13: it became such a big part of the story. So
• 29:46
  Speaker 13: there's a chapter in the book in Liverpool where we
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: actually see the generation of the anal beads.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Part of the story.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: True, it's all true.
• 29:54
  Speaker 13: Yes, I mean, it's not true that he used anal beads.
• 29:57
  Speaker 13: It's true that this dude is the reason why everyone
• 30:01
  Speaker 13: associated that with Hans Niemann.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: Okay, I'm totally confused about the anal beads and chess.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: How the heck do.
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: You win a game of chess by using anal beads?
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you. I guess I'm just.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: Naive to this kind of thing.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: But unless they help them relax, maybe that's why.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: He beat them.
• 30:23
  Speaker 13: No, So the idea is that at high level chess,
• 30:26
  Speaker 13: these grand masters they only need they don't need help
• 30:29
  Speaker 13: through the whole game.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: They only need like one or two moves.
• 30:31
  Speaker 13: And so the way you cheat at chess is you
• 30:33
  Speaker 13: have some sort of device on you and somebody who's
• 30:36
  Speaker 13: watching the game, so you need an accomplice and they
• 30:39
  Speaker 13: just signal you. And so the idea is, you know,
• 30:42
  Speaker 13: anything that could vibrate that you would feel, So these
• 30:46
  Speaker 13: are vibrating anal beats of the idea, but anything that
• 30:49
  Speaker 13: someone could send you a signal. So you're playing the
• 30:52
  Speaker 13: game and there's, you know, a move, somebody signals you
• 30:55
  Speaker 13: whether you've made the right move or what the next
• 30:57
  Speaker 13: move is. And so basically there's been a lot of
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: cheating in.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Chess over the years. People exactly that was mine. That
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: was mine.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: But as a professional journalist, you must have had to try.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: I know, but I did not try that.
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: But I will say there's a scene in the book
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: where the guys from chess dot Com decide they're going
• 31:17
  Speaker 13: to investigate how one would cheat, and so they got
• 31:21
  Speaker 13: a hold of every device one would need to try
• 31:25
  Speaker 13: and cheat. Now they whether they tried that particular method
• 31:28
  Speaker 13: or not, you have to read the book, but they
• 31:30
  Speaker 13: definitely tried. I mean, there have been people who've used,
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: you know, ear, something in your ear is the most
• 31:34
  Speaker 13: likely thing. You get something deep in your ear, and
• 31:36
  Speaker 13: people use that for cheating in school all the time.
• 31:38
  Speaker 13: So now there's ones, and I've looked into this, there's
• 31:42
  Speaker 13: like tiny ones that go deep in your ear that
• 31:44
  Speaker 13: there's just impossible to find, even with a wand or
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: anything like that. And you just need one accomplice. And
• 31:50
  Speaker 13: because the match itself was live streamed and there was
• 31:53
  Speaker 13: no delay, it would be very easy for someone to
• 31:56
  Speaker 13: signal someone in the room checks now. So now because
• 31:59
  Speaker 13: of this, and you know, and and and some places
• 32:02
  Speaker 13: have better scary than other places.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: They basically make you go in nude.
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: You know, they wand you They have all these different
• 32:09
  Speaker 13: detectors on. They've frisched everybody. You know, one cheating incident happened.
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: The guy would keep going to the bathroom and he
• 32:14
  Speaker 13: actually had a like in The Godfather, he had something
• 32:16
  Speaker 13: hidden above and it was like his phone, so he
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: could run in and they memorize the board. Then they
• 32:22
  Speaker 13: run in and put it in or things like that.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Did you say they're playing naked? Now, No they're not,
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: but they they're very close.
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: They get very you know for sending Hans and even
• 32:30
  Speaker 13: famously after the match was like, I'll play him naked anytime,
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: and of course everyone was like that would be the.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Next phase of it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 13: But like, you know, the cheating is is it's an
• 32:39
  Speaker 13: existential dilemma in chest because if you sit down and
• 32:42
  Speaker 13: you think the other guys may be cheating, then you're not,
• 32:45
  Speaker 13: you know, playing the way you would normally play. And
• 32:47
  Speaker 13: what's really fascinating is cheating online. You know, Hans has
• 32:50
  Speaker 13: admitted to cheating online many, many times, and the first
• 32:54
  Speaker 13: time he got caught cheating online, the person he was
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: cheating with was also cheating, so it was really like
• 32:59
  Speaker 13: two computers playing each other. But whether he cheated or
• 33:02
  Speaker 13: not over the board, and that's what they call it,
• 33:04
  Speaker 13: where you're sitting in a room facing somebody, that's the
• 33:07
  Speaker 13: big question at the center of it. And you know,
• 33:09
  Speaker 13: people have cheated in various ways over time. But the
• 33:12
  Speaker 13: actual match itself is fascinating because you know, I have
• 33:16
  Speaker 13: video of it. I found secret video of the actual
• 33:19
  Speaker 13: match where he's playing Magnus and he's not acting normal.
• 33:23
  Speaker 13: I mean, he's definitely like barely paying attention. He's chewing gum,
• 33:25
  Speaker 13: he's and there's a photographer who wanted to get a
• 33:28
  Speaker 13: photo of him blowing a bubble while he beat Magnus,
• 33:31
  Speaker 13: And as the photographer came close to the thing, Magnus
• 33:34
  Speaker 13: thought the photographer was maybe signaling him and got up
• 33:37
  Speaker 13: and said something the photographer. So it was a very
• 33:40
  Speaker 13: tense kind of game at the center of this God.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: I always thought this was such a SOPHISTI.
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: No, there's a scene where he actually is playing someone
• 33:48
  Speaker 13: on the person thinks he's cheating, reaches over and grabs
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: the gag and breaks the head off of the piece,
• 33:54
  Speaker 13: and then they go out into the parking lot. I
• 33:56
  Speaker 13: mean there's scenes you know of. It's very intent because
• 34:00
  Speaker 13: these people are also a bit strange. I mean, if
• 34:02
  Speaker 13: you meet high level chess players, they're unique people, I think,
• 34:07
  Speaker 13: is the way to put it.
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: So the last time you were in you said that
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: you write books now because they're linked to TV or
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: movie deals.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Is this, Yeah, So.
• 34:17
  Speaker 13: It's Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone. Nathan Fielder is direction Stone. Yeah,
• 34:22
  Speaker 13: Emma is producing and Nathan is directing and writing, and
• 34:26
  Speaker 13: it's in the development phase right now. So I sold
• 34:28
  Speaker 13: it as a movie before a book. I basically I
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: write a proposal treatment for a story and then you know,
• 34:33
  Speaker 13: take it out to Hollywood and they picked it up
• 34:36
  Speaker 13: to develop it, and then I went and wrote the book.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: So it's going to be a big movie with a
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: twenty four.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the going rate these days for like taking
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: your book and turning it into a movie?
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Like what's your asking? What's my asking?
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Christ?
• 34:51
  Speaker 13: You know, whatever they want to give me, It's fine, you.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Know, yeah, sure, I mean we have a.
• 34:56
  Speaker 13: Very high burn rate or like a small internet company.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Let's get right in to the number one moment of
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the week, because we had so much fun with this one.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Survivor might have just had the biggest on air blunder ever,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: and so we were thinking, what are some other really
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: crazy mess ups that have happened live on air?
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: Last night?
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: At least there was a blunder of sorts on the
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: show Survivor And it was the finale, right.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we do? We have to clip of it?
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, Well, basically Jeff Probes, who's done the show
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: for a very long time. He basically revealed who one
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: of the losers was for it was air the segment
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: that he lost on.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was very, very awkward in.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: The end of cutting's commercial and then he ended up apologizing,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: where you become.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: The final member of our jury. Take a spot over here.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: This is it.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Figure out what just happened. So we just realizes that
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: he blew it.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, he handled it well.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: I thought, well, that's a billy thing, right, what just happened.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: I'm not even sure what's happening. But up next we're
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: not final surprise for the players. Now this is gonna
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: be interesting whatever.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Now it was a limit.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I love doing it.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: And it was actually, like we said, it was the finale.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: So they finally did announce the winner. We have a
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: clip right here.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: No, you cut me off, he apologizes, Jeff, he came back,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: he went to break, came back, and then it gave
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: a big apology live television.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: In case you're confused, this is what happened.
• 36:27
  Speaker 12: We were going to show you fire making and then
• 36:30
  Speaker 12: have the loser of fire making Rizzo come.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Out and talk about how charming he is and if
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: he had practiced fire making maybe he would have won.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Instead, we did a Survivor twist. It's the last twist
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: of the season. We probably have kicked into the future.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: So now we're gonna watch Rizzo lose.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: I actually I wanted to play that.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: I thought he handled it well. I thought they he
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: made a joke of it, he admitted it, he owned it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: You don't have to yell at me.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Well, you just blew the clip. You were so excited
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: that the winner Wiley's I know, because the winners from Cambridge.
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: She is she's from well, she's from Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. Yeah,
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: and now she lives in Cambridge.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Yah, huh. The winner of Survivor picture.
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: I just want to show people that it doesn't matter
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: who you are, your brain, brawn, your beauty.
• 37:20
  Speaker 16: If you believe in yourself, you can outlast.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: More than you ever thought you could. You can push
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: and you can get to the end and you can evolve,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: just like Survivor. You know, she's been on three other
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: seasons of Survivor.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is kind of cool when you think about it.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Jeff Probes has spent his entire career with Survivor, yeh,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: which is very rare in TV, so I give it
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: to him. And she spent her entire life on Survival.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: Her name is Aubrey Brocco and she's a marketing consultant
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: and she won two million dollars.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: If that's crazy, two millions. Yeah, no, that's a good
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: hit right there. Yeah, there was something with mister Beast,
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: you know, mister best.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, doubled. The prize ended up being two million.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: Billie Eilish and Jimmy Fallon made surprise cameos on this
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: season too, the fiftieth season.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Really. You know how people will say who watches network
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: TV anymore?
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Well people do? Claire?
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, Big Time Survivor is still on Huge Lights of America. Well,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: how many seasons? It must be a sus.
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: It's fifty fifty and they just filmed fifty one in
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: Fiji and it will debut this fall.
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: See keeps going.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: So that leads us to the biggest blunders of all time.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: And we're going to start with twenty seventeen when they
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: announced the wrong winner Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: And the Academy Award for Best Picture go on, La
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: la land. Yeah, I remember.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Then the whole crew, casting crew came up, they stopped
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: giving speeches, and the best part is if you watch
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: the video, you can see in the back Emma Stone,
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: who's in La La Land. Yeah, they start telling them
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: behind the person speaking.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a mistake. Yeah, we didn't win.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then had to come out and correct it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: Right, there's a mistake. Moonlight. You guys won Best Picture.
• 39:12
  Speaker 11: Light.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: It's not a joke.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: This is not a joke. I'm gonna pray they read
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: the wrong thing.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: This is not a joke. Moonlight has one Best Picture Moonlight. Imagine.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: I can't even the whole cast of Blah Lah Land
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: is on stage celebrating, and then they get word privately.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: That we didn't win, and you can see it in
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: real time. Jimmy Kimmel's up there telling them like, this
• 39:37
