• 8:26
  Speaker 4: you ever get punched in the face?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's officially twenty twenty six, and with the
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: new Year always comes the wrap up of the words
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: of the year, So we got a new one at
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the end of twenty twenty five from Cambridge Dictionary and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: it hit a little bit too close to home with us.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: It's number four.
• 8:45
  Speaker 11: The Cambridge Dictionary has pigged its word of the year,
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: and the word is parasocial. A para social relationship is
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: a one sided connection where you feel close to a
• 8:55
  Speaker 11: celebrity and influenza, even a fictional character or an aar
• 9:00
  Speaker 11: I bought you feel close to them. Someone you know
• 9:02
  Speaker 11: only through a screen or a story, and someone who
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: does not know you at all, like if you thought
• 9:08
  Speaker 11: you knew a star personally or felt an emotional connection
• 9:11
  Speaker 11: for an influenza. That's a parasocial relationship and millions of
• 9:15
  Speaker 11: people experience it every day.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, someone needs to explain this to me.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, parasocial.
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: I think it's I think it's brilliant that they picked
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: it as the word of the year because we just
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: experienced it. When Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift got engaged to
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: Travis Kelce. As a group here, we were overjoyed. We
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: were so happy for her, feeling like it was one
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: of our best friends that she had finally met her
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: guy and it was finally going to work out.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Riley, I gotta go to you. You're the biggest swifty
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I know. Did you suffer from parasocial when Taylor got engaged?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: When we announced it? This is funny, I actually used
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: that word. I said, Oh my god, I don't. I
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: try had to feel parasocial about people, but this is
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: like my one exception. I felt like it was my
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: sister getting engaged. Like I've been looking up to this
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: woman for years and.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: She got engaged. I was like, oh my god, this
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: impacts me personally.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: We all had a feeling of like, oh my god,
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: this is the best thing that's ever happened.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Does it make me a bad person that I didn't
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: feel that well? I thought it was very cool. Actually
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I thought it was fake. You'll recall remember, Yeah, I
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: thought it was an arrangement with the NFL and the
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: record label. And now I can't believe. I think it's
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: fabulous the way it all worked out.
• 10:34
  Speaker 12: But that I mean, that makes sense. I mean, I
• 10:35
  Speaker 12: know you like Taylor Swift. Yeah, you're not a super fan.
• 10:38
  Speaker 12: I wouldn't expect you to feel some emotions towards her.
• 10:41
  Speaker 12: But is there any celebrity, any music artist, billy in
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: your lifetime that you've ever felt an emotional connection with? Oh,
• 10:49
  Speaker 12: because that would make that would be a power social relationship.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Do you want me to say who it is so
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: you can make fun of me?
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: I know what you're up to, old on, Lisa, I'll
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: keep my hands off the button.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Okakay. I think Bruce Springsteen would be one.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: Okay, definitely that you connected with.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I went to see him probably twenty
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: times in concert with the Eat Street Band, So yeah, okay.
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: I have to kind of do a shout out to
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: all the authors out there, because I think there are
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: a lot of authors that have parasocial relationships. There are
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: readers like Ellen Hildebrand, like her Hilda Babe group is
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: such a group that like, they love her and they
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: love her books and they feel very connected to her.
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: So I have to say, maybe I would have a
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: parasocial relationship with an author.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: So her army are the Hilda Babes. Yes, Oh, I see,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that now I know.
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: But it's Emily Henry. She's another author. She has a
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: huge following. I think a lot of people really like,
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: you know, connect with her too.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: How about you, Justin, do you have a parasocial relationship?
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: Before I answer that, do we think is this a
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: negative thing? Lisa?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. I don't believe it to be negative,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: because it could be.
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: But in these specific examples that we gave, these are
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: all like very positive feelings of connection.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Not an obsession, no, But it just gives people.
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: Something to connect over, and that isn't a bad thing.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay.
• 12:18
  Speaker 12: The reason one I can think of is Ed Sharon
• 12:21
  Speaker 12: because Ed Sharon I lost one of his best friends
• 12:24
  Speaker 12: and he wrote a song about it, and the song
• 12:26
  Speaker 12: is very similar to I lost a friend as well.
• 12:30
  Speaker 12: So when I listened to that song, it gets me
• 12:31
  Speaker 12: very emotional. So I guess that would be an emotional connection,
• 12:34
  Speaker 12: you know, because the stories are very similar, the way
• 12:36
  Speaker 12: his friend passed and my friend passed, and the song
• 12:39
  Speaker 12: is very very heavy, So I guess that would be
• 12:42
  Speaker 12: my parasocial.
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: I think a negative parasocial would be what's happening with
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: Haley Bieber and Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, that whole
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: sort of like love triangle thing that a lot of
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: I think in that case, there could have been because
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: they were reaching out on social and being really mean
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: to Hilly Bieber, all of Selena Gomez, all of her fans. Like,
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: I think they were taking it very a little too seriously.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Now I'm being honest, but I think over the last
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: six months, I think I've developed a parasocial relationship with
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Justin Bieber. Okay, that might sound creepy at the outset,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: but I'm just saying, And you know what locked it
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: in for me? This past week, I saw a video
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: it could have been an old video clip where we
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: did a drum off with the drummer from the Roots
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: on Fallon and he was better.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, drums that's from a while ago. Yeah, he's
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: very good on it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: It's amazing, like he was better, yeah, than the Root drummer.
• 13:36
  Speaker 12: I'm surprised, Billy that you didn't name a drummer that
• 13:39
  Speaker 12: you connected with, Nan Bruce.
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: But no, Yeah, I wonder if anyone has a parasocial
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: relationship with any of us.
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, that would be great, Well, no, that would be great.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: That'd be awesome.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: Actually, I would love that on International Man's Day if Billy.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Or oh, Lisa, you could be my first Okay.
• 13:57
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I'd say, it would probably be Lisa. That's why
• 14:00
  Speaker 12: I would say, really, yeah, they tend to love him.
• 14:06
  Speaker 12: How you doing talk about.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: The biggest parasocial relationship.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Because I don't think I'm the only one.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Remember when Tom Brady got traded to the Box, how
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: heartbroken we all felt?
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: Ye?
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: Come on, yeah, yeah, that's a really good example.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Let's go bunks.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Pain.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: We were like, it was painful.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's shout out to that talkbacker. That was a
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: perfect parasocial tom Brady and what we felt when he
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: left New England.
• 14:36

• 15:32
  Speaker 3: do you think that you have a parasocial relationship with anybody?
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Producer Riley brought one up that I think Riley and

  Speaker 4: Marshan left and then won the Stanley Cup. Yeah, just
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: his leaving. I really felt it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: It's similar to the Tom Brady situation.

• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Borki years ago when he left the Bruins went to
• 15:56

• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Right, it's real easy.
• 16:02
  Speaker 13: Basically, parasocial is what we all as listeners feel towards
• 16:06
  Speaker 13: you guys. Basically, when you go out in public and
• 16:09
  Speaker 13: everybody goes, oh my god, you're Billy Costa. Yeah, and
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: you don't know who they are. That's that's parasocial.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: Ah get it?
• 16:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah, And oh my god, I should have thought about
• 16:19

• 17:08
  Speaker 9: Kim.
• 17:08
  Speaker 16: Come Meeter, it was adorable.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of it is the nature of
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: this Sharabition Morning show. I mean, all of us were
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: very open about everything in our lives and people. I
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: mean they know our children's names, they know our dogs' names.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: They know and the kids were born.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, we're on the air.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know. And that's not that's not a negative thing, No,
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: not at all, not at all.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: It's a good connection.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: I'm feeling pretty good right now.
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good too.
• 17:37
  Speaker 15: For any of my original one directioners out there, I
• 17:41
  Speaker 15: just think we remember being in college and the day
• 17:43
  Speaker 15: that I found out that Sane was leaving, I cried
• 17:46
  Speaker 15: on my way to class. I was so heartbroken.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: That's my parasocial really, yeah, you feel such a connection.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: I just thought of another one. I always always always
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: thought Justin Timberlake was such a superstar. Do you remember
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: when the story broke laces when he was on the balcony, Yes,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: and I think the New Orleans.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they said he was having an affair and.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I hope this is the end
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: of Justin timber again.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: That's sad.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: Captain mike Ya, I must admit I never heard a
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: parasocial before in my life. But I believe I'm developing
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: a parasocial relationship with the Princess of Protocol, the lovely
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: Lisa Nonovan from Milton, Massachusetts.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Hi, are you feeling at least? I didn't think this
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: was going to be about us.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: I know it's not.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: I have a parasocial relationship with my best friend Dolly Pardon.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, I can see that. People adore her.
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she's beloved. You can see that too.
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: I've definitely had a parasocial relationship with John Gotti.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Rest in peace. They don't make men like that anymore. Nowadays.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Everyone's a snowflake. They melt under pressure. Okay, came out
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: of left field, John Gotti.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, oh my god.
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: Remember you know that John Gotti once wore a Raiders jacket,
• 19:10
  Speaker 12: you know, and so there's a picture of him wearing it,
• 19:13
  Speaker 12: and I think the former owner of the Raiders or
• 19:16
  Speaker 12: the current owner has it framed in the office of
• 19:19
  Speaker 12: wearing the Raiders jacket.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: And you can if you think back to the days
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: when the sopranos were huge, I bet a lot of
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: people had James Gendelfini Tony Soprano, including your son Alex yes,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: my son Alex has watched the entirety of the Sopranos.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: That's multiple seasons, probably eight or nine times. Yeah, start
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: to finish.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: He's a bigger fan than I am. I thought I
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: was a big fan, Yeah, bigger.
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: I feel like I'm in a parasocial relationship with the
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: characters in every show that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 16: I binge watch or every book that I read.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's weird because they're not real.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: People, it's true.
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, maybe they should have been the word of
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: the year. Yeah, yes, you know, I'm thinking that it
• 19:58
  Speaker 12: was a negative thing, which it can be. Obviously, it
• 20:01
  Speaker 12: could turn into something negative.
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: But yeah, like an obsession.
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you just that's what That's what music and TV
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: and movies are supposed to do, is avoke emotion.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And connection and connection.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Definitely. Karen Reid would probably be a.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Local parasocial for a lot of people.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I was at an event last week and I heard
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: she was there.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I immediately searched the room so that I could get
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to just walk up to her and kind
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: of try to have a normal conversation with her.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: That's a very that's a really good one.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: I think we all had parasocial relationships with Karen.
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: I also think Mel Robbins probably has a lot of
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: people that have a parasocial relationship with her, right.
• 20:36
  Speaker 12: Yep, absolutely absolutely, because Mel thinking about what she talks about,
• 20:39
  Speaker 12: she connects with people.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but Karen Reid, it was the pink people, yes, yeah, yeah.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: It was massive crowds of pink polarizing.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: Yeaheah, all parasocial. Let's go to Kristen and haver a
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: line one.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Hey Kristin parasocial you got one.
• 20:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: So I am someone who's active in online communities, and
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: I've noticed, like with streamers, like someone like zal Karey
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: or excuse, the people will come to their defense on
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: arguments that they're not even a part of ye and
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: so I feel like that's.
• 21:08
  Speaker 16: Uncomfortable for them.
• 21:09
  Speaker 15: I've definitely seen some streamers talk about how.
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: They're uncomfortable with the facts that some people will be
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: parasocial on their behalf.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: That's a good one too, any others.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: Or just that one.
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: I just think in general, just anything on the internet
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: when people come to the defense of someone else when
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: they're not even responding to the argument.
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, that's a good example.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's a negative one. But the trolls I
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: think are opposite of parasocial.
• 21:34
  Speaker 14: Well, then I guess you could say I'm feeling parasocial
• 21:38
  Speaker 14: about Whitney Levitt leaving Dancing with the Stars.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Like not, okay, I feel personally victimized.
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: Okay, don't any any of us watch Dancing with the Stars,
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: but I believe producer Riley does I do?
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, Actually I have been watching Then of the Stars.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't watch it last night, so that was a
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: major spoiler. But she's one of the secret lives of
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Mormon Wives girls.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: There was two on this season. Now they are both gone.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: And she was actually a really good dancer, so I'm
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: surprised that she got eliminated.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: But people are very polarized by her because she's kind of.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Annoying to people. So spoilers, But that's okay. I can
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: understand where that's coming from. Because a social media slash
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: reality star, I feel like those people fall into that
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: category of people getting obsessed with them.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Is the Alligator kids still in it?
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, Robert, Yes, he's still there when Yeah, he's really good.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: People love him.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Now the Irwin kids, I both kids are doing something. Yeah,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Bindi Bendi Irwin and.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, oh wow, Okay, well now you're going to walk
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: the episode.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I'm still going to keep up with I
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: want to see Robert and I like a couple other
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: people laying, like a couple of people that I like.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: So I didn't picture you was a Dancing with the
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Stars person.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I I, yeah, I don't know why I'm into it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: And I like judging people about stuff that I know
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: nothing about.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: So you're not a dancer, right, Oh.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. I got no moves.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Hey, guys, welcome back into the Best of Billy and

• 29:42
  Speaker 1: certain places I gotta go. And now so many of

  Speaker 1: these places are like disappearing. Where's Papa Gino's you.

  Speaker 4: Sunday morning. Everything just goes in the pot except vegetables.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: We said if my mother opened up our own restaurant
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and would be called a taste of nothing when you
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: get cafe.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: When you get to Arlington, do you feel the need
• 30:50

  Speaker 1: Oh you mean Mystic Mystic Valley Parkway. Of course, I
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: love the Pond, And yeah, you gotta go visit. You

  Speaker 1: that's where I worked in high school.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: It usher or something, or I was.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: The girl that served the ice cream they had. That
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: was when ice cream first started to come on the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: scene at the Capitol Movie Theater.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't that still there?
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. I think I still have the shirts. I

• 31:24
  Speaker 1: working there and see if they catch such taking stuff.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: You take myself a soft serve.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Who is this ginger that's taken?
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Take it? Speaking of gingers off the air a few
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: minutes ago, I said, boy, I love your hair. Yeah,
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: And you said Conan made a comment about it. Yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I talked to Conan for a while at comics come home,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and you know, we have the same wacky sense of humor,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: like we're just goofy and we instantly get along and
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: we start chatting and he goes, oh my god, you're
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: like me with a wig.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Well, here it is the number one moment of the week.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I'm producer Riley. I have been counting them.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Down for you, and this one is crazy.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: You will never guess what Tom Brady has been doing
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: with his dogs.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Tom Brady is now cloning his dog and you've got
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: the story with you Lisa.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely a true story.
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: So they had a shelter dog that they adopted named Lua,
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: and Lua died. So before Lua died, they took a
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: blood sample from Lua. Now Lua is a pitbull mix,
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: so that they could use it later to clone Lua.
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: So Tom Brady has a dog named Juni, So Juny
• 32:38
  Speaker 9: is the clone of Lua. And it was all made
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: possible by a company called Colossal, which launched in twenty
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: twenty one. And they basically do animal cloning and they've
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: just acquired Viagin, which is a leading company in animal cloning.
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: And here's the hook. Tom Brady is an investor in Colossal.
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: So it's a business decision, it appears.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: So, but it's also very personal if he cloned.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: His dog right right this I find this story to
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: be fascinated.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I do too. It's everywhere this morning.
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: Do you remember we talked about this a few years
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: ago that a company had genetically engineered three wolves that
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: resembled the extinct dire wolf species. So Viagin is that
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: company that did that. So now Colossal and ViaGen have merged.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Okay, so is Colossal cloning other animals besides dogs?
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: Yes, they're the leading company and animal cloning.
• 33:33
  Speaker 12: They also did celebrities such as Barbara Streisand's dogs and
• 33:36
  Speaker 12: Paris Hilton. So Brady's not the first celebrity whose dog
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: they've cloned.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: So what he did was he did his research and
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: saw that a couple of other well known people have
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: done it. It has shown success, and now he's got.
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: Looney now the mayor of the South End. Earlier we
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: ran a clip he said that it costs fifty thousand.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Dollars to do this.
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: I don't see that.
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: I don't see the price in this article that I'm reading,
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: but I'm sure it's expensive.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, I love my dog tight as he's a
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: good boy.
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: It begs the question, Billy, you love your dog more
• 34:08
  Speaker 12: than anything else? Would you clone Titus?
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Well before Titus, I loved Bestie more than anything else.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: My biggest argument is the same that a lot of
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: people this morning have, is that there are so many
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: dogs that need homes. Right and you know, I don't know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: this is a weird one. I don't know if I
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: would trust it. It still seems very new. But again,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: there's so many dogs that need someone, that need a home,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: and they're out there waiting, and.
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: It also kind of seems like it could be a
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: science fiction.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: A little bit. It's a slippery slope, you know what.
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: They start cloning dogs and then next there you.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Know, yeah, it comes back your neighbor.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we won't be sitting here like a pet cemetery.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Type of exactly.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it opens up a lot of other issues.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a big fan of technology. It just
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: seems fast. You know, it came out nowhere.
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: But they did do the other celebrities as I mentioned,
• 35:03
  Speaker 12: So maybe Tom saw the success with them and thought
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: I want to try this. Oh, I might as well
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: invest too.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: I wonder, like what the temperament is. Is the temperament
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: the same as the original dog? Like, let's change.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what, Tom Brady happens to be a
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: good friend of this radio program. He's my fourthhe Yeah,
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: we need to ask him these questions so we can
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: ask him how's it going.
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, yeah, he needs to answer them.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: This would be a great reason. I got to call
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: my son Chris. Yeah, it's a great reason to have
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: him on and he can promote it's a new business venture.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Yes, good idea, Bill.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's weird.
• 35:37
  Speaker 15: Cloning thing is weird.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: My precious dog passed away last August, and.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: I pretty quickly got another rescue dog because Maddie's memory
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: just needs to live on.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: There was Maddie and now there's Betty.
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, it is weird. Listen. I saw the story
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: and I was like, this is super weird.
• 35:59
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: I don't know if I could do this or not,
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: but he seems to be. He's had the dog for
• 36:04
  Speaker 12: what how long now? Least is the clone dog?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a few years?
• 36:08
  Speaker 9: And the dog like Markings wives, looks exactly like Lua,
• 36:12
  Speaker 9: the original.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: And Brady's a pretty level headed guy. Yeah, and he's
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: a good businessman, so clearly he's done his homework on this.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: But again there's the issue of all the dogs that
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: need homes right that otherwise are going to be put down, right,
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: I know, But.
• 36:28
  Speaker 12: Then you think about the bond between your dog. You
• 36:31
  Speaker 12: love the dog, you don't want your dog to ever
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: go to doggy heaven.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: I got to ask Michelle when I get home, my wife, Michelle,
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: what do you think about this? Because you know, just
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: crazy about Titus.
• 36:41
  Speaker 15: Yeah, good morning, this is soup from Boston, and I
• 36:43
  Speaker 15: just heard about Tom Brady cloning his dog.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love Tom Brady, but I'm he's like
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: crazy enraged right now about that. I mean, I've had
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: many beloved dogs, but I always rescue and generally senior
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: because they always get overlooked. Oh Tom, please in this
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: one area, please do better.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: I understand your heartbreak.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Do better.
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that was the point you made. There are
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: so many dogs that need to and I like her.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: I understand the heartbreak. I mean it's so hard, right hey, I.
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: Mean, you have that special pet that's just so endearing
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: to your family.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: But again, you know, like, is my.
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: Wife gonna want to clone the chickens at my house?
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Oh my god? Fifty grand a pop though, good luck
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: with them?
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know she loves those chickens though, loves them.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's a good thought.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, think about all the other pets, cats, I mean,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: the bunnies they did.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: Dire Wolves, Lisa, they did die.
• 37:49
  Speaker 14: This is Romulus, the newly resurrected dire wolf. I hear,
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: Lisa Donovan thinks I'm cool. I have one thing to
• 37:59
  Speaker 14: say now that I'm back.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: How you doing, Lisa, Let's.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: Go to Amy and Boston Online.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: One, Amy, what do you think.
• 38:13
  Speaker 16: No, absolutely not. I work at Angel Animal Medical, so yeah,
• 38:20
  Speaker 16: it's part of the it's part of the MSPA, And
• 38:24
  Speaker 16: I say absolutely not, only because there's so many animals
• 38:30
  Speaker 16: that are available for love, and you're not guaranteed when
• 38:34
  Speaker 16: you clone that the personality will be the same, that
• 38:38
  Speaker 16: you're going to have the same dog, whereas when you adopt,
• 38:43
  Speaker 16: you know what you're getting.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and think about it. There was a big enough
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: argument against you know, purchasing a dog versus rescuing a dog,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: and now there's a new argument. You know, do you
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: clone your dog or get an Oh my god, it's
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: getting confused.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we're heading into strange times. Yeah, with everything going
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: on now, it's the.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Cloning AI cloning. It's moving too fast.
• 39:07
  Speaker 12: And eventually humans, Eventually they'll be able to clone humans.
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: Imagine two billies.
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: Oh that's not a bad Oh yeah.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Right, Well that's going to do it. For the best
