• 2:19
  Speaker 3: No cake. Okay. Well, we offered a cake.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We did. We offered a lot of things, but.

• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Right.

• 2:34
  Speaker 3: and Lisa.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I am a little bit heavier on the wallet, thanks
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to Bill. And I have a beautiful bag gift I
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: have not opened yet from Lisa.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I went shopping for Justin yesterday.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: And don't forget, Riley got you cookies yesterday. She made
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: them herself. That's a good gift.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: She did on Friday. And I did eat those this weekend.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: You had all of them? I ate pretty much all
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: of them. She's a very good baker. That was a
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: stack of cookies, man.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Well, again, Sunday was a big day.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: That's my mukbang. That's what I do. Good morning. Happy

  Speaker 3: birthday to my man, Justin. I can say it in Italian, too.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Won't complain, no Justin. You guys have a good one.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: He's loving you.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Loving some Justin. That's your boyfriend, not mine. Yeah, well,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: apparently he's cheating on me.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: He's sharing the love today on your big day.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, God. Well, you know what's great about you? And
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: this is what I love about you.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: You want to celebrate your birthday and you want to
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: share it with our listeners.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: And that's why at 710 this morning, we're giving away
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Jingle Ball tickets.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Well, the announcement's Friday. Friday morning, 710.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Favorite time of year.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: There's nothing like Jingle Ball. It's as festive as festive
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: can be.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: It's one of those also unique experiences. Obviously, it's a
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: holiday tradition in Boston, but it's one of those things.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: People don't even know who's going to be there yet,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: but they're already waiting to buy tickets.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Because they know it's going to be great. It's always
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: off the hook great.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Well, it's like about the experience now.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Jingle Ball is a full-on experience.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: You know what's cool for us, too?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Backstage, we get to hang out with the recording stars,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: with the artists, with the superstars. And they share their
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: holidays with us. They tell us what's going on with them,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: where they're headed after Jingle Ball. And that makes it special, too.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's always your last question, which I love. It's like,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: what are your plans? Looking back on the year, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: they always have different things that they're doing. Well, do
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: you remember?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I remember Tate McRae.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: It got a little awkward with Tate McRae.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And Kid Leroy. Well, she was, I guess, he was
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: going to Canada.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: To her place. To her family. They were spending the
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: holidays together in Canada. Right, right.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: And I think it all went sour from there. Because
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: then he started singing sad songs about the breakup and
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: the longing and pining.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: He's still doing it. He's still coming out with the songs,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the breakup songs. Yeah. You know what? It all began
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in Canada. Oh, I'm going to Canada for the holidays.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Again? Okay. Okay. That's twice you brought it up. Hey,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: you asked me. Yeah, because we were told, Billy was
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: told not to bring up Taylor Swift.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Even though they were dating. And then the kid brought
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: it up. So. Yeah. Maybe he should have stayed home. Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Maybe it was the whole Canada trip to kind of.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: sideline the whole thing.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Uh so listen my wedding anniversary is like what a
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: week away October 1st oh my god yeah yeah October
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: 1st and it's funny because uh producer Riley turned to
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: me the other day and said oh um what was
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: your proposal like with uh with Michelle and I told
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: her well it was very nice it was a.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Surprise I remember it was on the vineyard yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And I had um She was in the shower, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I had arranged earlier in the day with the hotel
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: where the boat was docked that they would bring down
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: a little food and lay it out with champagne and
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: wine and everything. And so she came upstairs from the
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: shower and saw it. And, of course, knowing her, it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: all about waste. You can't waste anything. She's like, why
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: is there food here? We're going out to dinner. Right.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I said, oh.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: And then, you know, I proposed. But it was kind
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: of a surprise. She didn't see it coming.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And Riley's like, oh, God, I would never want a
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: surprise proposal.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So that's, yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Like a total surprise.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: You would not like that, producer Riley.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: I just think that, like, I'd want to have a
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: conversation first. Make sure we're all on the same page.
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: But I feel like, but Billy, you did have a conversation.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I don't remember a specific conversation.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You guys probably talked about it. Because she didn't want
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to ring.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I remember that. She was really... Serious about not wanting
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: a ring. She wanted Africa.
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: She wanted the big trip to Africa.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: So I had this big color picture book made of
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: an entire itinerary that, you know, during the proposal, at
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: the end of the proposal, I showed her the book.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: We grabbed some champagne and I'm like, honey, we're going
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to Africa. So she didn't care that it was a surprise, essentially. No.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: All she cared about was Africa.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: She would have been fine if I wasn't even there. Yeah.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Well, the most important thing was she was happy.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she was happy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Like, you listen to her.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess. But the question is, should a proposal
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: be a surprise? That's interesting. I mean, Lisa, do you
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: want a conversation?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I think a conversation is good.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: I think if couples are talking and they're having conversations,
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: I think that's always the best.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Mine was a surprise like Billy.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I went out on a whim. I didn't. The
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: ring I picked out myself was a complete surprise. There
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: was no conversation.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But. To your, okay. But, Billy, you did have a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: little bit of a conversation.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I just, I'm big on, I think, a
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: proposal A should be private.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Like that whole.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Thing where they arrange for the family and friends to
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: be hiding under a tree.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I've been to those.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And then they pop out from behind the trees. Surprise.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: And that means everybody knew. I also, I don't know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, what do the people think on this?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Are they with Billy and myself? Surprise. Or Lisa and
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: producer Riley, where they want a conversation. And actually, Riley
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: would get mad if there was no conversation. That's wild. Oh, no,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: even more so if she didn't like the ring. How
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: dare you give me this? She wants to be consulted
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: on the ring, too. You don't know me at all.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Anyway, there's a talkback right now on the iHeart app.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: We'll go back to this a little bit later in
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the show.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios, we're back with
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, guys. Welcome back.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: It's the first day of fall, and again, it is
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Justin's birthday today, so happy.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Birthday, Justin. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: love you guys. Yeah, we wanted a cake. He rejected
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the cake. Okay. See, you're making it a negative.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I'll buy breakfast for everybody so we can celebrate your birthday.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Okay? All right. I have my meal already made. Okay.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: So we found a list, and Lisa, it's sitting right
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: in front of you, and we're shocked at how much
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: money some of the mascots around professional.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Sports are making. Have you seen this list, Producer Riley?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Have you, Bill? Some of it, but not the whole—
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Can we guess some of these? Sure. You want to
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: guess at who makes the most money? Yeah, just run
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: through the list. I want to have some fun. We
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: can play along with our listeners.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we'll do the top five.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Who do you think, out of all of the sports
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: teams in Boston, is number five on the list?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say Lucky the Leprechaun. At number five?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: At number five.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to agree because he's like the face.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I think Lucky, too. So you guys are going with Lucky.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: That would be a no.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Incorrect? Incorrect. I would say the Bruins blade.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: That would be incorrect.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It is our favorite Wally the Green Monster.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Wally's at number five?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: For the Red Sox. Now, what do you think his
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: salary is?
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay. Now we're talking about Wally. This is Wally.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: We're talking about Wally.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: At number five, I'm going to say $ 100, 000.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, that's really high.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: You think? Oh, I'm going to say higher.
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: Oh. Okay.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: All right. We're all over the place. I'm going to
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: say $ 200, 000. Oh my God. I was thinking like $ 65, 000.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: You guys, it's $ 250, 000.
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: No way!
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Wally?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: It's $ 250, 000.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Wally the Green Monster makes more than a.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Software developer and other jobs like that in the Boston area.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: But in Wally's defense, I mean, it sounds like a
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: lot of money, but keep in mind, their life is
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: not their own. Besides being at the games for every game,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: they've got to go on charity things.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: They have to visit schools. I mean.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: They're working very hard all year long.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Okay. They're not building skyscrapers. True. Or, you know, digging ditches.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I started by saying I was shocked when I heard
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: some of the salaries for some of the mascots.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Okay. What's number four?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: So there's a tie. There's a tie with the Flyers.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: So an NHL team.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, so this is Gritty.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Who's like a big, he's like a big deal in
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the NHL world.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: How much, Gritty makes more than... Wally?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: No, Gritty and Wally make the same amount of money.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: A quarter million dollars each. Gritty.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: That actually makes sense to me for some reason.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know why.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: Because he does like stunts where he like comes down
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: from like the roof. They like hook him up and
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: make him come down on the ice.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Gritty? Gritty. Oh. He'd be flying?
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: That's all right. Yeah, maybe so.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Okay. Now we have the top three.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Who do you think is the third on the list
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: nationally as a mascot?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: OK, nationally.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: And these are all and I want to give you
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: a hint. The top three are all in the same sport.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, if five is if I'm going to go,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go basketball.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: OK, you're thinking. Yeah, you're thinking.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: OK, so we're in a basketball.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all NBA.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: OK, mascots. I'm going to go lucky the leprechaun again.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: He's not even on the list, you guys.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. He's not in the top ten.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: He's not in the top ten. I won't lie.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I don't really know any of the NBA mascots.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: But he risks his life.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, he does flips and somersaults and crashes up
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: against the boards.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that's true.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, Lucky's great.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You will not believe how much these mascots are.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go Lakers are high on the list. Okay,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I'll go Knicks then. I'll change my Knicks.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Number three is Chicago.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, the Bulls? Yeah. The Bulls.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: So what do you think Benny the Bull is making, Riley?
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Well, it's got to be over $ 200, 000. So, I don't know.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: $ 300, 000.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Higher?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Half a mil? Keep going.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: What?
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: 400 gram.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Whoa.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: So, it's a half million for Benny the Bull? The Bull.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: How do I get that job?
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I know. Are they hiring?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Well, you're in the Bruins organization.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: You could start shooting for mascots. Yeah, Producer Riley works
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: for the Bruins.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Blades isn't on that list. And also, I
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: don't know how to skate, so.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Well, clearly you're going to ask for more money. So Riley,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: he's not. Okay. All right. Moving on.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: All right. Number two is Harry the Hawk. The Atlantic Hawks.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Hold on. Hold on.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: How much do you think?
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to, I mean, it's more, I'm going to
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: say half a milli.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Keep going.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: 600.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: 600 grand.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Harry the Hawk. And that's number two.
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: What are these people doing? Are they like flying around? Like,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: why are they making so much?
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: They don't travel with the team. I don't think so.
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: We have to check on that. I think while the
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: team's away, they do other charitable things.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, like flying from the sky. Like, why
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: are they making so much money?
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, yeah, that's a lot of dough. Six hundred grand.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: It's so interesting that the NBA are the top three
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: because in the NFL, the mascots are lower paid. like
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: Pat the Patriot brings in around $ 65, 000 to $ 70, 000 annually.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: That's what this AI search and overview has given us.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: It's a big disparity.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: But when you think of it, right, think of the
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: NFL and NFL teams, they don't really play up their
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: mascots as much as certainly baseball or basketball.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Pat the Patriot, he runs out on the field. He's everywhere.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: All right, so number one. On the list.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: The highest paid mascot.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: The highest paid mascot in the country is Rocky the
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: Mountain Lion for the Denver Nuggets.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: What?
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, so it's got to be more than $ 600, 000. I'm
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: going to say $ 700, 000? No, it's $ 625, 000.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: All right, so a little bit more. Over $ 600, 000 for
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: the Denver Nugget.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: That's insane. I don't even know if I could pick
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: him out of a lineup.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: What do we call him? The Mountain Lion?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: He's Rocky the Mountain Lion.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: That's got to be a hard suit to put on.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: How does he fill all four legs?
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I think he stands up straight, Bill.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, OK. Here comes Rocky. I actually got pitched Lucky
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: the Leprechaun to come on the show. Should I book him? Well,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: it's going to be kind of, well. I know. I
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: say we book him.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Can we ask him about this list?
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: No, I don't want to shame him. I'm sure he
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: does fine. No, we'll root for him.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: We'll fight for more money for Lucky the Leprechaun.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Do you want to hear one more fun fact?
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I would love to.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, social media earnings.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: Beyond their base team salaries, some highly recognizable characters pull
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: in significant side income, including Benny the.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Bull, who was number three in the list at $ 400, 000.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: He can generate over one million per year of potential
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: valuation via Instagram presence alone.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: That's what I was thinking about Gritty, too, because he's
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: so well known on social media. That's how he became
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: like a big thing.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: Interesting.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: So they're making even more than their salary.
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: A million?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: They're like an influencer.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Plus the 500, 600,000?
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: That's wild.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go put the costume on.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Is it too late? I know.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Justin, you would make a quad guard. You'd make an
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: awesome mascot.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'll dress up. Bigger than life.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can't do flips and stuff like Lucky,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: but I can run around and take pictures.
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: God, I should have. Conducted my life better. You would
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: make a great... You would have made better turns in life.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: You would make a great mascot. Right?
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: No, because the issue is mascots don't talk and Billy
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: would not be able to stay silent.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'd never shut up. That's true.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, you need to be knocking on my mascot head.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: You need to stop talking.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, maybe I'll book Lucky the Leprechaun. The Celt
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: season is kicking off in October.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: We need to coach him on how to make more money.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: You know what else is weird? I think I might
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: know Wally.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I think you might. We're not supposed to say that,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: but I think you do.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Well, get Wally in here. Yeah. All right. I'll work
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: on that. I'll work on Lucky. Yeah. Welcome Lucky the Leprechaun.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Shame. Yeah.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: And Lisa.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: Now, the entertainment update with Billy Costa on Kiss 108.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, so Friday morning at 710, we'll be announcing the
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Jingle Ball 2026 lineup. This morning at 710, we've got
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: a pair of tickets for Jingle Ball 2026. We need
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: to call at 25 at 877-617-1108.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: You'll need the keyword, and the keyword is going to
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: be festive. Yeah, I can't wait for this. This is
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: going to be exciting. Friday morning, 710. Love all the announcement,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: the details, the date, and most importantly, well, the lineup.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: And what's more festive than Jingle Ball?
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, we wait for it every year.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: So call at 25-877-617-1108. So a few weeks ago, we
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: were talking about Miley Cyrus, her residency at the Hollywood Bowl.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Keep in mind, not too long ago, she said she
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: would never tour again, claiming life on the road makes
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: it tough to protect her mental health.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: As well as her sobriety.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Well, she sat down with Zane Lowe this week and
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: suggested the Hollywood Bowl shows might be a dress rehearsal
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: for something bigger. I've learned now through the queue that
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: my calculations are correct and people will come to me. Well,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: they are coming to her because as many as 1.5
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: million people tried to get tickets to her two Hollywood
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Bowl shows. Demand has been incredible. But I'm thinking more
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: and more now. that Miley will be the Super Bowl
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: halftime show. Maybe the Hollywood Bowl shows are rehearsals for
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl halftime show.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: It sets up perfectly for it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Well, those two shows are October 16th and 18th, so
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: she can get a good grip on how she feels
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: and how it's.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: All working out. Yeah, it makes sense to me. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: did see a report yesterday that Jay-Z apparently is having
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: a hard time locking down a solo performer, and he
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: may just end up doing it himself.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: See, but I don't think Miley would be solo. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: think she'd bring out some cool and interesting special guests.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, that's not what I mean. Meaning like
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: one act, they can bring out whoever they want. But
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: one solo headliner, they can't lock it down. So maybe
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Jay-Z is trying to get Miley and he can't lock
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: her down. So he'll hire himself. Correct. Because he's in charge.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: That's always a good backup plan.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: He's in charge. Yeah, who do I trust?
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Me.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: But doesn't that... Isn't that suggested every year?
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe Jay-Z will do it since he's in charge
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: of the whole halftime show anyway.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: This would be the one though, because he's had an
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: incredible year. They're saying the shows he did that sold
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: out had such a huge response that it would make sense.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And the documentary. And yeah, this is the year to
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: And he'd have some special guests. Yeah. Not the least
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: of which would be his wife. Yeah. Beyonce. All right, Jay.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Who do I trust?
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Me!
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Hey, how about this? Somber.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Just released an orchestral version of his song, My Body
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Isn't Ready.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: And I like it. Check it out. I try to
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: be the person you're looking for. I feel this song
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: so much, the lyrics to this song. I know that feeling. Well,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: your body wasn't ready years ago. It was not ready
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: at all. Well, it was gigantic. It was upsetting. Before
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: any special moments came, the lights went off. There was
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: no lights on. Oh, God. I feel it so deeply. Oh, Justin.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: But look at you now.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, the lights are on now, baby.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Come on, shine them on those quads.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: See, you should have that song in your phone so
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: you can get to it anytime you want. You know,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: just to take you back and how far you've come.
• 20:57

  Speaker 3: David Fincher, which is, he's a great director. Yeah, yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: And Billy and I have watched the ending to Once
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Upon a Time in Hollywood where Brad Pitt, Cliff Booth,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: kills the Manson family. We've watched it a thousand times.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: It's worth a rewatch. The mantle in the fireplace. When
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: they're confronting him and he's got the dog there and
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: the guy's ready to shoot Brad Pitt. He's like, and
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: the dog jumps up. It's great.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: The movie comes to IMAX theaters November 25th. It hits Netflix.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Just in time for Christmas, December 23rd. So Nicole Kidman
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: is complaining now. Apparently they haven't renewed for another season
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: of Lioness, and she can't believe it. So she's now
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: calling on fans to write in or send in letters
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: and say, hey, what's the deal? Lioness coming back again
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: or what? It's such a good show, and I'm up
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: to date with Lioness.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? You're a fan. I love it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Write a letter.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Are you speaking out? Oh, should I send a letter
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: or something? Well, you have a microphone right there. Speak out. Okay.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I want everybody to know, are you listening, Hollywood? This
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: is Billy Costa, and I'm a huge fan of Lioness,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: and I'll never forgive you if you don't bring it
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: back for another season.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Well said. Okay? Well said. Never forgive you. Well said.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: I'm coming for you. You do talk about the show
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: a lot. I haven't watched it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I know you do.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: It's amazing. Rams beat the Giants the game last night.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Red Sox will start a series out at Fenway with
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: the Guardians tonight as they start working their way toward
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: the end of the regular season and the playoffs. And
• 26:36

• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Golden.
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: No.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Golden? Golden?
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: Golden?
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, AJ. Is there a time clock on this?
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Help me out. Justin, help me out. It's your birthday.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Come on. Happy birthday. Help me out, please. Oh, God, AJ.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: How can you do this to yourself? AJ, can I
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: be honest? I don't remember. Actually, you know what?
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't either, AJ.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I talked about the word and the meaning it could have.
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, what does jiggle ball mean to you?
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Five. Holiday. Christmas.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Four.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Three. Two. Go on, help me out. I don't remember.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I really don't. I'm not being honest.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Billy, in all honesty, I just had to listen to
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: the entertainment for 15 minutes, so I have short-term memory. Okay,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: it's a privilege to listen to the entertainment for 15 minutes, AJ.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Was it festive?
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: You just spent 30 seconds fat-shaming.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Justin, and I.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, I....
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, you know what, AJ? I believe it was festive.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: It was. Was it festive? Say festive, AJ.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Festive.
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: I thought it.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. You got it. A.J., festive is actually. Oh,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: my God. You're good. I knew. All right. A.J., we
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: love you. Please do not hang up. You'll screw it
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: up again. Stay on the phone.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Make sure you dress festive.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yes. Make sure.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's on the Billy and Lisa morning show.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: We always talk about something.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: We always have something that has us bugged on the
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Billy and Lisa morning show.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: And this morning we're talking. You get to talk about proposals, right?
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, should a proposal be a surprise or should
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: it be something you talk about? Right.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: And it came up because your anniversary is coming up
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: on October 1st. And we were asking you off the
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: air how you propose to Michelle. So that was the topic.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and for me, it was a surprise. Now, did
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: she probably.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Know it was coming at some point in our lives? Yeah,
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: but I still wanted to do it without her knowing
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: anything about it.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the same for me. It was a
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: complete surprise. 877-617-1108 is our phone number or hit the
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: talkbacks right now. What do you think? Because Billy and I,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: our proposals were a complete surprise. Whereas Lisa and producer Riley,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: they want some discussion. on the proposal, on the ring.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: Right but also i think that that a surprise is
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: nice too you know what i mean but again i'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: sure you guys had general conversations at least once in
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: the relationship stage even if it's just once like you
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: knew right so we're not saying like I don't know,
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: but Justin, I.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Think you did it, like, really surprised. Like, you didn't
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: even have a discussion.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: No discussion. I just went and picked out a ring.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: And off you went.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I called my mother-in-law because her father had passed, asked for,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: you know, permission.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: And then it was off. Wow, you did old school.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: You asked for permission, too. I did, yeah.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Wow, cool.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: You know, the classic story is my mother-in-law, Nani, was like,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I said to her, asked her the hand of marriage,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: and she said, you sure you want to do that?
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Best of luck to you.
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: Hilarious.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: That's so nice.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: But producer Riley, we're talking to her and she says.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: that she would actually even say no.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: I just think that if you are not on the
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: same page with somebody, like if the proposal is coming
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: out of nowhere and you've not discussed it at all,
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: like you're walking into the future blind.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that I would want that.
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: I think that if I was dating somebody and marriage
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: had never even come up and they got down on
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: one knee, I'd be like, what are you doing?
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Where is this coming from? I'd be like shocked. I
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: don't even know what I'd say.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: But I agree with you. I think that would be
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: so strange.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Like, Justin, you never had a conversation with Jen about
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: spending the rest of your life.
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: No.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: And maybe it's old school. I just thought it would
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: surprise would be good. Now, mind you, the ring I
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: could afford was very cheap. It was not the best ring,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: but she acted like it was great. I think she
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: really didn't really like it. She did the right thing.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: But she'd never let me know that.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Riley's comments about the ring were shocking to me. She
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: said if he gave her a ring proposing and she
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: didn't like the ring, she'd say, get that away from me.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: How dare you give me that? You don't even know me.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: How do you not know I would hate that ring?
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I did say that. And I stand by that.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: I just think that if somebody's proposing to you and
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: it's something that you would never wear, it's something that
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: you're like, I just think that if somebody proposed to
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: you with a ring that you would not like, it's like, again,
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: like Billy said, You.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Don't know me.
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: Why would you want to marry me when you don't
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: even know what kind of ring I'd want to wear
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: for the rest of my life?
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's that's a discussion thing, right?
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: Like he never got to know you and never asked
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: even a family member or a friend.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: And that's not to say that like I have to
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: pick out the ring.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying there are things that I would never
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: see myself wearing.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: And if you never picked up on that at all.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but see, I don't think it's above the ring.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: It's OK.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Here's the thing. It's it's it's not. And and I
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: think we're all talking about the same thing here. I mean, Justin,
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: you and Jen, it was about your commitment to her
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: and the fact that, like, yes, she just wanted to
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: be with you. And that's like the basis of what
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: it should be about, obviously. Um, obviously like the fact
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: that someone's even wanting to give you a ring is like,
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: that's the most important thing.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: It's a symbol of like your love together.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: But I do, I do see Riley's points. Whereas that
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: ring is going to be on your finger.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I see your point. And to your point, things have changed.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Imagine the poor guy, though. He goes from on one
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: knee to.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Proposing his love for life of Riley and says, get
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: away from me.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: It would be like one of those viral videos that
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: we see all the time of the random proposal and
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: the girl's like.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: Or like on the jumbotron at a baseball game and
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: like the girl standing there. But ironically, though, Jen did
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: upgrade her ring, right?
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: That's how I kind of knew that she didn't like
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: the ring for like the first 10 years because I
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: upgraded it this summer and got her a legit ring
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: and she was like in heaven.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: By the way, another thing when proposing, leave the family
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: at home.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Jackie and Gabriel. Hey, Jackie, what do
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: you think?
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning. So I actually was like a half
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: and half on the proposal. So I woke up the
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: morning of knowing he was going to propose that day.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: It just kind of happened that it worked out timing wise.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: He invited his dad and stepmom and a bunch of
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: my family was there.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: So Jackie, you knew the whole thing?
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: So I didn't know how and when he was going
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: to do it. I woke up. So we're at my
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: family's Cape house and I woke up and I was like,
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: all right, I think today's the day. Like it just
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: made sense. And I figured like, Oh, later tonight he'll
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: take me for a walk on the beach. And, you know,
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: the whole romantic, you know, propose on the beach at,
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: you know, sunset and stuff. And it actually was not
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: that it was during the day when we're at the
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: beach with our families. And, um, I left the beach
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: for a moment. Our house is right up the street.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: I went back to the house to make a bunch
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: of sandwiches, and I came back, and everyone was there.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: He had a huge sign, and there was a random
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: woman videotaping the whole thing, and I was completely shocked.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: It's Billy's nightmare. I'm in hell right now. Billy, yeah, Billy.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Somebody open the door. I got to get out.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: I'm in hell.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: But she liked it. She loved it. Jackie loved it.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Did you enjoy it?
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: It was great.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: And my brother and his girlfriend at the time were
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: really into photography, so they actually photographed everything, too. So
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: he went ahead, my now husband of almost 11 years,
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: he went ahead and, like, reached out to everyone and
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: was like, this is what's going to go on. This
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: is what's happening. Can you take pictures? Can you do this?
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: And it was crazy.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Jackie, you should see Billy's.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: I knew that day was going to happen. I had
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: no idea. Jackie, you said he had a sign.
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: What was the sign and how big was it?
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: So, it was just a, like, I don't know, like a...
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Like a poster board?
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: Not even that big.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: No, like a wooden sign.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Wood?
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: He, like, painted and spray painted. It said, will you
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: marry me?
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: So, I walked.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: So, I walked down to the beach to, like... I
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: walked down and I'm at the top of the stairs
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: and I see a huge sign on this beach. And
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: I'm like, well, this is also the time where kind
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: of sharks were sort of wandering around Cape Cod. So
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, does this are we not supposed
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: to be in the water anymore or something? And it says,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: will you marry me? And I was like, oh, my God,
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: are you kidding me right now?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. Jackie, do you still have the sign?
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Of course I do. It's still hanging up in my house.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: I'm never giving that up.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I thought you were going to ask are you still married? No,
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: she's definitely still married.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: It sounds like it worked for you and we're so happy.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Good call, Jackie. Thank you. Very good call. Guess we
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: know what our wedding song was. Yes, she did. Yes,
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: she did. She opened up her eyes and there it was.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: There it was.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Billy and Lisa, every morning.
• 36:26

  Speaker 3: So we're talking about proposals.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Should there be a conversation beforehand or should the proposal
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: be a surprise?
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: You've got talk back, Justin. I think a surprise is
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: the best.
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: I had no idea.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: I was in shock.
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: And when he whipped out the ring, my first thing was.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: And then I said, stop.
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: And of course I started crying, but it was very beautiful.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Nice. She liked the surprise.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: And I love that scene you see in movies or
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: TV shows when the proposal happens and instantly the bride-to-be
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: starts crying because she's shocked.
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Or then you have producer Riley who's like, ugh. How
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: dare you not talk to me?
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: I feel like Bill is, okay, taking this a little
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: out of context here.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I think that a.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: Discussion can be had and the proposal can still be
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: a surprise. I'm not saying I want some guy to
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: be like, I'm proposing to you. I'm just saying I
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: want to make sure we're on the same page. And
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: then when the proposal happens. It's still, like, shocking.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Like, I didn't know you were proposing.
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: So, I'm with Riley about the ring thing. I mean,
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: a ring is like a tattoo. You're going to have
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: to look at it the rest of your life or,
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: you know, as long as your marriage lasts. And you
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: want something that you're not going to look at every
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: day and be like, ugh, like, he has no taste. Like,
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: what is this? Like, what I did is I picked
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: out rings that I liked. And then he surprised me
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: with a ring that I liked. And I was happy,
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: but also surprised.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she gets me.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: For the record, producer Riley flipped me the bird.
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: She did?
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I missed that. It was a joking bird. And it
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: was a really aggressive one, too.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I also think if you're anywhere near social media,
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: social media is also giving permission to, like, be more
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: involved than ever before.
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Because it's all you see.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Everything's like in the public eye.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, everything.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: It's so much so different. But yeah, Riley.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: How dare you?
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's so funny.
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: 100% have the proposal be a surprise. It's one of
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: the greatest.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Surprises in life.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, before you get engaged, you
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: should be having active conversations about your future together.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: And if you all want.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: To spend the rest of your lives together.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: So yes to proposal being surprised.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: No to the entire concept of marriage being a surprise,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: if that makes sense.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: That's what we're saying.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: She got it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: That talk backer.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: A discussion.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Melissa on line two. She's in Salem. Hey, Melissa.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Hello to Salem. Oh, hi there.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: What do we got, Melissa?
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: So my now husband, we've been married for about nine years,
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: completely surprised me and actually had me pulled over and
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: He had dressed up in a police officer uniform because
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: his cousin was a cop. And so I thought that
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: I was getting... pulled over slash maybe arrested because they
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: had me get out of the car. Oh, my God.
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: behind the car on one knee with a ring asking
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: me to marry him.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. I love your husband.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: Well, not in that way, but that is so creative.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Really cool. It was, it was, yes.
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: Thankfully I was coming from a bridal shower and I
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: did not have any cocktails there because otherwise it probably
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: would have been a whole different situation. But, um, But
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: it was so fun, and, yeah, it was just a
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: complete surprise. And we actually have it on video because,
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: you know, we have the dash cam and the body
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: cam footage. So we have, like, a big picture of
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: him in a police officer uniform.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Were handcuffs involved at any point in the night?
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Good question. Right, Justin? I know you were thinking it.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just asking it. That's a great story. I hear
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: stories like that and I think to myself, damn, I
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: dropped the ball. Me too. That was my first thought. God,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: I thought I was creative. Yeah. Let's go to Mike
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: on line two.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: Hey there, Riley, will you marry me?
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, there he is.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Please, please, Riley, will you marry me?
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: As long as there's a discussion.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And I see the ring.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Siobhan and Peabody. Line four. Good morning, Siobhan.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: What do you think, Siobhan?
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: I'm like 50-50 about it.
• 40:58
  Speaker 9: When I got engaged, my husband didn't tell me about
• 41:03
  Speaker 9: it until like a couple months before he actually did
• 41:07
  Speaker 9: it because he was like very excited to show me
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: the ring and he showed it to me. And it
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: was the most ugliest thing I've ever seen. And then
• 41:18
  Speaker 9: I talked him into returning it and then buying me
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: something that I really liked. So, like, discussion about the rings, yes,
• 41:29
  Speaker 9: but I didn't know exactly what was going to happen,
• 41:32
  Speaker 9: the proposal itself.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: And you guys are okay now, right?
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I know.
• 41:37
  Speaker 9: We celebrate 10 years next month.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Congratulations. Yeah, I celebrate in a week or two.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: Does anyone still do that thing with the ring and
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: the champagne glass thing?
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: You haven't seen that, haven't heard that in a while.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Or they put it in something, like they hide it
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: in the meal.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Well, you could choke to death on the ring. You could.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: That's true. Mine was a complete surprise because it was
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Christmas morning and she had wanted a Pandora charm. So
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: I bought a Pandora, took that out, put the ring
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: in there and I put the present in the back.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: So she opened all of her gifts and then the
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: last one she unwrapped and it was a Pandora box.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: So she thought, It's the charm that I wanted. And
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: then when she opened it up, I was on one knee.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Look at you, the romantic.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Weren't you in your underwear or something?
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: I was in my underwear.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: What are you doing in your underwear? It was the
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: morning time. And, you know, I had this whole idea
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: that it was going to go differently. But I'll never forget,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: I proposed to her and we embraced. She said yes.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: And then I glanced over at the window and the reflection.
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: And I was just in my underwear. I know you.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: You were in your underwear because you wanted to be ready. Well, that's...
