- 1:01Speaker 5: coming to the Billy and Lisa Morning Show because we
- 1:04Speaker 5: have MMA legend Joe Lozon on the phone right now.
- 1:08Speaker 6: Joe, you there?
- 1:09Speaker 7: I'm here. How's it going?
- 1:11Speaker 3: It's going well. Joe, you're a local guy.
- 1:15Speaker 7: Yeah, I live in Bridgewater. I went to school in Boston,
- 1:18Speaker 7: from Brockton initially. So, yeah, all the local places.
- 1:22Speaker 5: Wow, how about that Bridgewater Little League team for the
- 1:24Speaker 5: first time in the World Series?
- 1:25Speaker 7: Yeah, they crushed it. Yeah, they did so good.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Well, think about that, Joe.
- 1:30Speaker 5: For the first time, the Bridgewater Little League team made
- 1:33Speaker 5: it to the World Series, and for the first time,
- 1:36Speaker 5: you're making it to the squaring circle, bare-knuckle fighting this
- 1:40Speaker 5: Saturday night at Fenway.
- 1:42Speaker 7: Yeah, it's pretty wild. I've had a whole bunch of
- 1:45Speaker 7: fights in the UFC, but this is the first time
- 1:46Speaker 7: I've fought outside. This is the first time I've done boxing.
- 1:49Speaker 7: This is the first time I've done bare knuckles. All
- 1:51Speaker 7: kinds of firsts.
- 1:52Speaker 5: Now, they still refer to the ring as the squaring circle,
- 1:55Speaker 5: but is the ring circular in bare knuckle fighting, I think?
- 1:59Speaker 7: I don't even know, to be honest with you. I'm
- 2:01Speaker 7: not even sure.
- 2:02Speaker 3: That's how new to the game you are.
- 2:04Speaker 6: You just had a fight.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just showing up ready.
- 2:08Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's a fight's a fight. I think
- 2:11Speaker 7: it's like, I think it's basically a ring, but I
- 2:12Speaker 7: think it's almost like steel cables. I think there's like
- 2:15Speaker 7: a slight curve to them. So I think they're kind
- 2:16Speaker 7: of like, there's posts, but it's almost like it's not
- 2:18Speaker 7: a straight line from the post. It's like a little
- 2:20Speaker 7: bit of a curve.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Now, as a local kid out of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, is
- 2:24Speaker 5: it added excitement for you to fight at Fenway Park?
- 2:29Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, that was the real
- 2:31Speaker 7: draw for me of doing bare-knuckle boxing was fighting at
- 2:34Speaker 7: Fenway Park. I fought at the TD Garden three times,
- 2:36Speaker 7: so that's been awesome. But Fenway Park's a whole different level.
- 2:41Speaker 7: It's way better, way cooler.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Now, Joe, we're rooting for you. You've got to know that.
- 2:44Speaker 5: You're the official bare-knuckle fighter of the Billy and Lisa
- 2:46Speaker 5: Morning Show.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Official.
- 2:47Speaker 7: I appreciate that.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Okay.
- 2:49Speaker 5: But being the local guy in the ring at Fenway Park,
- 2:53Speaker 5: I'm guessing a lot of your friends, neighbors, family members coming.
- 2:56Speaker 6: Out for the fight?
- 2:58Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. We've got a ton. And there's a lot
- 3:00Speaker 7: of local guys on here, too. We've got Peter Barrett,
- 3:02Speaker 7: trains out of my gym. He's on the card. I mean,
- 3:05Speaker 7: half the card is guys from the New England area.
- 3:07Speaker 7: So there's definitely like a home team versus away team
- 3:10Speaker 7: kind of feel going on. Okay.
- 3:12Speaker 8: Now, you're having that beer knuckles guy on today. Could
- 3:15Speaker 8: you ask him what's the difference between the queen of
- 3:19Speaker 8: violence and the queen of the street?
- 3:21Speaker 3: What's the difference? We all want to know.
- 3:24Speaker 7: I don't even know. I couldn't tell you. I couldn't
- 3:26Speaker 7: tell you.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Different nicknames.
- 3:27Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 3:28Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Have you met the queen of violence yet, Joe?
- 3:31Speaker 7: I have not. I have not. We did a press conference,
- 3:35Speaker 7: but the women fighters were not there because there was
- 3:37Speaker 7: some kind of scheduling conflict. So I've not met them yet.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:39Speaker 3: She's going to be bringing the pain.
- 3:41Speaker 6: So, Joe, we wanted you to come into the studio,
- 3:43Speaker 6: but I'm told that you're cutting weight so you could not.
- 3:46Speaker 6: How is that going?
- 3:48Speaker 7: So I'm not cutting yet. It's more so drinking.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Water right now.
- 3:52Speaker 7: So it's like I'm probably going to drink like two
- 3:54Speaker 7: gallons of water between now and like 3 o'clock. So
- 3:57Speaker 7: it's a lot of fun in the bathroom. Yeah, it's
- 4:00Speaker 7: not fun.
- 4:00Speaker 5: Is that something we should be doing, Joe, two gallons
- 4:03Speaker 5: in one morning?
- 4:05Speaker 7: No, no, no. Most people should not be drinking that much.
- 4:07Speaker 7: I think everyone should be drinking like half gallon to
- 4:09Speaker 7: a gallon a day.
- 4:10Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
- 4:11Speaker 7: Maybe not every single day, but you should be drinking
- 4:13Speaker 7: at least half a gallon a day. I think everyone
- 4:15Speaker 7: should be doing it. But you've got to make sure
- 4:17Speaker 7: you're not just flushing all your electrolytes. When you drink
- 4:19Speaker 7: a gallon of water, you start flushing all your electrolytes,
- 4:20Speaker 7: which you need. So you have to take those back in.
- 4:23Speaker 7: You've got to refresh them a little bit. But everyone
- 4:25Speaker 7: should be drinking more water.
- 4:26Speaker 3: So, Joe, who's this guy you're fighting?
- 4:29Speaker 7: The guy Stash Kugendahl. He's from Arkansas. He's not local.
- 4:35Speaker 7: But I feel like I have better fighting experience than him.
- 4:39Speaker 7: But he's done bare knuckle a couple times, which I've
- 4:41Speaker 7: never done. He's done more boxing than me.
- 4:43Speaker 5: Yeah, but you can't suddenly start grappling him or anything.
- 4:47Speaker 5: I wish.
- 4:47Speaker 7: I should have asked him bare knuckle in May. I know.
- 4:50Speaker 6: Now, Joe, the training for the fight, are you training
- 4:54Speaker 6: bare knuckle?
- 4:56Speaker 3: Uh, no, I'm not.
- 4:58Speaker 7: So I mean, there's two ways to think about it.
- 4:59Speaker 7: If I had like a year to get ready, if
- 5:01Speaker 7: I knew I was going to do this like long-term forever, then,
- 5:03Speaker 7: you know, then you try to toughen your knuckles. I
- 5:05Speaker 7: think in the short term, I had like a couple
- 5:06Speaker 7: of months notice. Uh, I think I just rather go
- 5:08Speaker 7: in as healthy as possible. So I basically box like I'm, uh,
- 5:11Speaker 7: like I'm doing a regular, any other fight, like boxing gloves,
- 5:14Speaker 7: hand wraps. Um, you know, definitely like changing how we're
- 5:17Speaker 7: punching a little bit because I When you have gloves on,
- 5:20Speaker 7: you can swing as hard as you want, and unless
- 5:22Speaker 7: you hit a really, really bad spot, you're going to
- 5:24Speaker 7: be okay. For this, if you punch an elbow, there's
- 5:27Speaker 7: so many things that can go wrong, so you've got
- 5:29Speaker 7: to be a little bit more accurate.
- 5:30Speaker 5: Yeah, you could suddenly, by mistake, throw an elbow or
- 5:32Speaker 5: try to get a grappling and forget that you're not
- 5:34Speaker 5: in MMA.
- 5:36Speaker 7: Or throw a knee to the body or something like that.
- 5:38Speaker 7: And that was a big problem when we were sparring.
- 5:40Speaker 7: We'd get in some kind of clinch or something like that,
- 5:42Speaker 7: and I would back up and I would throw a
- 5:43Speaker 7: knee to the belly or something. I can't do that.
- 5:45Speaker 7: We've got to hopefully– we've got to hope that doesn't
- 5:47Speaker 7: happen on Saturday.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Now, as the MMA legend Saturday night at Fenway Park,
- 5:53Speaker 5: will you be the only fighter in the ring Saturday
- 5:57Speaker 5: night with cauliflower ears?
- 5:59Speaker 7: No, there'll be a bunch of us.
- 6:01Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
- 6:01Speaker 7: Peter Barrett trains at my gym. He's on the card. Maybe, like,
- 6:04Speaker 7: half the guys have fought MMA to some extent.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:08Speaker 7: You know, so, like, you know, Rico Deschules is on
- 6:09Speaker 7: the card. Charles Rose is on the card.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:12Speaker 7: You know, there's a bunch of guys on the card
- 6:14Speaker 7: that have all fought MMA. James Byrne. So, I mean,
- 6:17Speaker 7: there's probably eight of us that have fought MMA before.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Now, Joe, the cauliflower here is.
- 6:23Speaker 5: I'm fascinated by it. Is it something you try to
- 6:26Speaker 5: achieve because it gives you status?
- 6:29Speaker 7: No, no, no. No?
- 6:31Speaker 3: Do they hurt?
- 6:32Speaker 7: It's super painful when it first happens. So the way
- 6:35Speaker 7: cauliflower works out is like blood gets in your ear,
- 6:39Speaker 7: your ear rubs, and blood gets in your ear, and
- 6:41Speaker 7: there's no way to force the blood out of your ear.
- 6:44Speaker 7: It's like a closed circuit almost, right? So the blood
- 6:46Speaker 7: gets in, but there's nothing on the other side pushing
- 6:48Speaker 7: it out. So it gets kind of caught there. And
- 6:51Speaker 7: it's super painful when it first happens. It pops up,
- 6:55Speaker 7: it gets swollen. Um, and then as time goes on,
- 6:58Speaker 7: it's hardened. And once it hardens, it doesn't hurt at all.
- 7:00Speaker 7: Like my, my ears feel like if you like made
- 7:03Speaker 7: a fist and like you push in your knuckles, that's
- 7:05Speaker 7: kind of how my, that's kind of how my cauliflower feels.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Does it have any kind of a benefit for you?
- 7:10Speaker 5: Like it looks, it looks, can you have a bigger
- 7:12Speaker 5: earring than a regular guy or?
- 7:15Speaker 7: I would never wear earrings. Okay. No, I don't think
- 7:17Speaker 7: it really matters. I don't think it really matters. I
- 7:20Speaker 7: think people definitely, like, if they see someone with cauliflower hair,
- 7:23Speaker 7: I think they're going to mess with them a little
- 7:24Speaker 7: bit less.
- 7:24Speaker 3: It's menacing. It's menacing.
- 7:28Speaker 6: It's just part of the fight game.
- 7:30Speaker 7: Yeah. And it doesn't happen by accident. And it doesn't
- 7:32Speaker 7: happen quick. You know, it happens over a long time. So, yeah.
- 7:37Speaker 5: Joe, now, again, the Billy and Lisa Morning Show, you're
- 7:39Speaker 5: the official fighter of this show now, and we.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Are rooting for you.
- 7:42Speaker 7: I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
- 7:43Speaker 3: But getting back to the local guy.
- 7:45Speaker 7: As the official fighter, we need to let everyone know
- 7:47Speaker 7: that if they go in the fights on Saturday, they
- 7:49Speaker 7: have to go to my website, joelozon.com, and that's where
- 7:52Speaker 7: you buy your tickets. That's where you get your jerseys.
- 7:54Speaker 7: We got red jerseys going. Wow. We got all the stuff.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Joe, that was very smooth. Very smooth. Oh, my God.
- 8:00Speaker 3: You're good.
- 8:00Speaker 6: Joe, I was going to plug it at the end,
- 8:02Speaker 6: but I was going to give a different website. Look
- 8:04Speaker 6: at you.
- 8:05Speaker 3: Joe's in charge. He's bringing the pain.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Let's get right into the number four moment, because we
- 8:09Speaker 2: had a day this week where it started with just
- 8:12Speaker 2: problem after problem after problem.
- 8:14Speaker 5: The show started this morning. It was still dark out.
- 8:18Speaker 5: And you have to imagine this, OK, folks? This is
- 8:22Speaker 5: a very large space. I think it's about 72,000 square
- 8:24Speaker 5: feet here at iHeart. And so we have an industrial
- 8:31Speaker 5: coffee machine. I mean, it's the size of a small car.
- 8:34Speaker 7: Right.
- 8:34Speaker 9: It's a professional series coffee machine. We have two of them, actually,
- 8:37Speaker 9: in two different parts.
- 8:38Speaker 6: Of the office.
- 8:39Speaker 3: All kinds of features. This thing is supposedly able to
- 8:41Speaker 3: do anything.
- 8:42Speaker 6: Touchscreen.
- 8:43Speaker 10: Yes.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Except make a cup of coffee.
- 8:45Speaker 9: I mean, it just spins around thinking about making a cup,
- 8:48Speaker 9: and it never does.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Yeah. Every day for a while, there was one thing
- 8:51Speaker 5: or another going wrong with this industrial machine. But the
- 8:54Speaker 5: thing lately, and this has been constant, You now know
- 8:58Speaker 5: that when you get in at four in the morning,
- 9:01Speaker 5: it's a race against time because you know now that
- 9:06Speaker 5: the one constant with this large industrial coffee maker is
- 9:10Speaker 5: that you're only going to get one cup of coffee
- 9:13Speaker 5: out of it.
- 9:13Speaker 3: And you and.
- 9:13Speaker 9: Justin race to get here first in the morning to
- 9:16Speaker 9: get the one cup of coffee.
- 9:18Speaker 6: If we walk in together, only one of us is
- 9:20Speaker 6: getting a cup of coffee.
- 9:21Speaker 3: And we know that going in.
- 9:23Speaker 7: Right.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Do you share it?
- 9:25Speaker 6: No, I respect my elders and I let Bill go
- 9:27Speaker 6: first this morning.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Just about a week ago, Lisa and I were in
- 9:32Speaker 5: there at the same time and we had to split
- 9:34Speaker 5: a cup of coffee because we knew it wasn't making
- 9:36Speaker 5: a second cup.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Right.
- 9:37Speaker 9: And then down the hall in BZ, they've got another
- 9:40Speaker 9: industrial size. And this morning. I was forced to walk
- 9:43Speaker 9: down there, and that machine was broken.
- 9:46Speaker 6: Okay, so Bill and I were here right before you, Lisa.
- 9:48Speaker 6: It was taking forever to get my cup after Bill
- 9:51Speaker 6: got his. I went to WBZ to get my cup,
- 9:53Speaker 6: and it did work. You went in right after.
- 9:55Speaker 1: You were the last cup.
- 9:56Speaker 3: It's a one cup machine again.
- 9:58Speaker 6: It's a one cup.
- 9:59Speaker 3: This is amazing to me.
- 10:00Speaker 1: It said the water had been disconnected. That was what
- 10:03Speaker 1: the screen message said.
- 10:04Speaker 3: But who disconnects the water.
- 10:05Speaker 6: To an industrial coffee machine? It worked for me. So
- 10:08Speaker 6: then we sent producer Riley out to get us coffee.
- 10:12Speaker 3: She had to hit the road. It was a takeout.
- 10:16Speaker 5: And then I find out that My headphones were stolen
- 10:19Speaker 5: from my cabinet. And this is an ongoing thing that's
- 10:23Speaker 5: been going on for years. And Riley, people make fun
- 10:26Speaker 5: of me. They say I make this stuff up. You
- 10:28Speaker 5: witnessed it this morning.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Yeah, you were very upset about your headphones.
- 10:31Speaker 3: But you saw the missing headphones. They were not there.
- 10:34Speaker 3: The cabinet was empty. Correct.
- 10:35Speaker 6: I looked.
- 10:36Speaker 1: I followed it up. I poked around.
- 10:38Speaker 8: Gone.
- 10:38Speaker 5: So it got us talking about weird things. That happened
- 10:43Speaker 5: at the office or that happened at the workplace.
- 10:46Speaker 11: Right.
- 10:46Speaker 9: And we were talking also about the communal refrigerator in
- 10:49Speaker 9: the kitchen where the coffee machine sits. And, you know,
- 10:52Speaker 9: people are coming back to work. Fidelity is making all
- 10:55Speaker 9: of their employees go back to the office full time.
- 10:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:57Speaker 9: So we were talking about like communal things in the refrigerator,
- 11:00Speaker 9: like communal cream or milk, also communal salad dressing, stuff
- 11:05Speaker 9: like that. Like or the ones that are marked, you know,
- 11:08Speaker 9: with someone's name, do not touch. And our question was,
- 11:12Speaker 9: do people actually just still use it, even if it
- 11:14Speaker 9: says like. This belongs to Heidi. You know, do not touch.
- 11:18Speaker 9: That's a good question.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Well, firstly, like sneak.
- 11:21Speaker 6: I'm curious, though, if something's in the fridge that does
- 11:23Speaker 6: not have a name on it, does that mean it's
- 11:25Speaker 6: free game?
- 11:26Speaker 1: No, I don't know.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Did you put it there?
- 11:29Speaker 6: Well, there's a mustard in there that I use every
- 11:30Speaker 6: single day.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Oh, you use something in there.
- 11:33Speaker 6: Well, I check the expiration date.
- 11:35Speaker 12: This refrigerator, this appliance.
- 11:39Speaker 3: It's an absolute germ den.
- 11:40Speaker 1: It's a petri dish.
- 11:41Speaker 3: I won't even open the door. I'm afraid of what's
- 11:43Speaker 3: going to crawl out.
- 11:44Speaker 6: They do clean it once a month.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Like once a quarter.
- 11:47Speaker 6: Once a quarter. Three months.
- 11:49Speaker 5: And if I'm going to touch anything in there, it's
- 11:51Speaker 5: only something that says don't touch.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Because then I'm like, oh, really? Oh, your creamer is
- 11:58Speaker 3: too good for me? Your mustard? No, Billy.
- 12:00Speaker 6: Bill's the problem.
- 12:01Speaker 1: No, Billy went one step further. He goes, I'm going
- 12:03Speaker 1: to pour it out. If it says do not touch.
- 12:08Speaker 6: Right, but you can't be mad that your headphones are
- 12:10Speaker 6: missing and then be a part of the problem and
- 12:12Speaker 6: dump people's stuff.
- 12:13Speaker 3: No, I'm not going to dump. It just bugs me. Like, really? Like,
- 12:17Speaker 3: this is how minuscule you are? Like, don't touch my ketchup.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Here's my feeling about the communal fridge.
- 12:22Speaker 9: If you've got salad dressing or a creamer, you should
- 12:25Speaker 9: expect that everyone's going to be using it.
- 12:27Speaker 6: Okay, because I do want to know that because the mustard,
- 12:30Speaker 6: I really like it. It's a certain kind.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Oh, is it Grey Poupon?
- 12:33Speaker 6: No, I don't know the name of it, but it's
- 12:35Speaker 6: really good. And I use it every single day. And
- 12:37Speaker 6: it doesn't have a name on it. Is that wrong?
- 12:39Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 12:39Speaker 1: What are you eating with mustard every single day?
- 12:41Speaker 6: I put it on my meat. Oh, okay.
- 12:43Speaker 3: Mustard?
- 12:43Speaker 6: Yes.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Like on your morning meat?
- 12:45Speaker 6: It's zero calories. It's zero calories.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Mustard, it's like hot sauce, right?
- 12:52Speaker 6: It goes with anything.
- 12:53Speaker 5: Yeah, it does.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Wow.
- 12:54Speaker 6: Just to, you know, flavor it up.
- 12:55Speaker 3: I just feel like.
- 12:57Speaker 5: The stuff in the communal office refrigerator, right, that's marked,
- 13:03Speaker 5: those are the same people who, if they had a roommate,
- 13:07Speaker 5: they would have their own food off to the side
- 13:10Speaker 5: in the refrigerator with their name on it.
- 13:12Speaker 3: This belongs to Mary.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Like, what?
- 13:18Speaker 3: Nobody cares.
- 13:20Speaker 6: Well, I put my food in there every day.
- 13:21Speaker 3: You should have bigger things to worry about and be
- 13:24Speaker 3: afraid of.
- 13:25Speaker 11: No?
- 13:25Speaker 9: Well, you don't want someone eating your salad.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Nobody's going to go in and start picking at your salad.
- 13:31Speaker 6: No, you'd be surprised.
- 13:32Speaker 3: I'd be surprised.
- 13:34Speaker 1: No.
- 13:34Speaker 6: No, you'd be surprised. People will do whatever. They don't care.
- 13:37Speaker 10: Can you guys please talk about the time Billy took
- 13:40Speaker 10: a printer, lifted it over his head, and smashed it?
- 13:43Speaker 6: Do we really want to go back there?
- 13:45Speaker 3: No, and then that happened. Oh, that was the days
- 13:47Speaker 3: of the big printers, too.
- 13:48Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 13:48Speaker 6: It was right in our office.
- 13:50Speaker 3: I had everything I could do to pick it up
- 13:52Speaker 3: over my head.
- 13:53Speaker 1: I witnessed it.
- 13:53Speaker 3: And smash it on the floor.
- 13:55Speaker 9: I walked out, and I went into Justin, and I said,
- 13:59Speaker 9: we've got a situation.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Yeah, because it repeatedly didn't work. So I'm like, oh,
- 14:03Speaker 3: you don't work? Now you're really never going to work again.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Now you're in pieces.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Talk about crazy office people. They came to me, the management,
- 14:10Speaker 6: and said, you need to get him under control. He
- 14:12Speaker 6: cannot be smashing the equipment at the office.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Well, you know what's next is that industrial coffee machine.
- 14:19Speaker 6: I was thinking that. I didn't want to bring it up.
- 14:21Speaker 3: Just don't have it there. We're happy to get takeout.
- 14:25Speaker 6: Or get a machine that can brew multiple cups. A
- 14:29Speaker 6: simple Keurig machine, you can put a cup in. It
- 14:32Speaker 6: takes 10 seconds to reheat. You make another one.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Lisa did that with the office curing machine.
- 14:38Speaker 1: And then Justin said that it's loaded with mold.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Now she needs a Z-Pak.
- 14:41Speaker 6: Yeah. Listen, I shouldn't be worried about the mustard in
- 14:45Speaker 6: the fridge. I'd be worried about the mold in the
- 14:47Speaker 6: coffee machine that you drank this morning.
- 14:49Speaker 2: I know.
- 14:50Speaker 3: I am. Things like this happen to everybody. You know it.
- 14:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 14:53Speaker 5: Everybody listening right now that say, oh, God, this bugs
- 14:56Speaker 5: me about my workplace or, you know, the person in
- 14:58Speaker 5: my office.
- 14:59Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 14:59Speaker 1: The communal food, the communal mustard.
- 15:01Speaker 3: We want some crazy ones because everybody has crazy people.
- 15:04Speaker 6: Or if you have a solid answer to the question
- 15:06Speaker 6: of if something's in the fridge at work and doesn't
- 15:09Speaker 6: have a name on it.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Are you using it?
- 15:10Speaker 6: Is it free use?
- 15:11Speaker 3: Because it's everybody's refrigerator. Does that mean it's everybody's food?
- 15:15Speaker 2: The number three moment is a topic time we had
- 15:18Speaker 2: about stealing from the office, specifically raiding the office fridge.
- 15:24Speaker 2: And while we were off air waiting for everybody's calls
- 15:27Speaker 2: to chime in, I reminded Billy that he has been
- 15:29Speaker 2: stealing from somebody's desk, and then he had breaking news.
- 15:34Speaker 3: I've been busted.
- 15:35Speaker 7: Okay.
- 15:36Speaker 5: I don't know if you've ever noticed, but when you're entering,
- 15:40Speaker 5: making the final turn to the morning show corner here
- 15:43Speaker 5: at iHeart, There's a quad, a four-pack of desks.
- 15:48Speaker 1: In the sales department.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:51Speaker 5: And one of the women, or maybe it's a shared thing,
- 15:54Speaker 5: they always had these fresh plastic containers. almost from Whole
- 16:00Speaker 5: Foods or something. And, you know, there could be malted
- 16:03Speaker 5: milk balls, nonpareils. Sometimes they have a really nice cracker.
- 16:07Speaker 1: It was like a little candy counter.
- 16:08Speaker 5: But they're sitting right there. So a couple of times
- 16:11Speaker 5: I couldn't help myself. No, I have a weakness for
- 16:14Speaker 5: malted milk balls.
- 16:15Speaker 3: If I see them, I.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Can't walk past them. Since I was a kid, it
- 16:19Speaker 5: was the only candy I loved, the malted milk ball.
- 16:21Speaker 1: So you steal their candy.
- 16:24Speaker 3: A few times, but I just went to check because
- 16:27Speaker 3: we were talking about it off the air. And for
- 16:29Speaker 3: the first time ever, the desk is empty. There's no snacks,
- 16:33Speaker 3: no candy.
- 16:33Speaker 6: It doesn't work here anymore.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Whoa, she doesn't?
- 16:35Speaker 11: No.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Who doesn't?
- 16:36Speaker 6: Whoever brought them in.
- 16:38Speaker 3: How do you know that? Because the desk is cleared. No,
- 16:40Speaker 3: all the other personal stuff is there. The mirrors. I
- 16:42Speaker 3: don't think so.
- 16:43Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 16:44Speaker 6: So you were eating balls, essentially. Stealing balls.
- 16:47Speaker 3: Malted balls.
- 16:49Speaker 6: But again, you're part of the problem.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I think they still work.
- 16:52Speaker 5: I think they figured someone was taking it and they
- 16:54Speaker 5: either hit it or took it home.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Well, they're locking it up now.
- 16:57Speaker 7: Maybe.
- 16:57Speaker 6: I mean, we're talking about the fridge here, you know,
- 17:00Speaker 6: and if you put something in there not labeled, can
- 17:02Speaker 6: everybody use it?
- 17:03Speaker 7: Right.
- 17:03Speaker 6: That's really the question that we wanted to know. Yeah.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Well, Lisa, have you ever taken something from someone's desk?
- 17:08Speaker 1: No, I don't do that.
- 17:10Speaker 3: You are the person. How about gum? No, I don't
- 17:11Speaker 3: do that.
- 17:12Speaker 5: Somebody ate gum off Producer Riley's desk last night.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and left the wrapper.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Empty wrapper on the desk.
- 17:17Speaker 2: They had the last piece in the pack, which is
- 17:19Speaker 2: the worst thing you could ever do, and then they
- 17:21Speaker 2: just left the empty pack. And I know it's in
- 17:23Speaker 2: a mine because there's a piece of paper that has
- 17:25Speaker 2: my name written.
- 17:26Speaker 3: Right on it. No, it's like an FU.
- 17:28Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Leave the wrapper.
- 17:29Speaker 6: You know who it was? Mr.
- 17:30Speaker 7: Balls.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Okay.
- 17:32Speaker 6: It was probably Billy. It probably was Billy.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Yeah, he took the gum and left the wrapper.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Anyway, we're taking your calls. We want you to talk
- 17:39Speaker 3: about it because this, I think, is a hot topic.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Things that happen at the office.
- 17:42Speaker 6: Thank you, Bill. Weird things.
- 17:43Speaker 9: Listen, I say if it's in the fridge that is
- 17:46Speaker 9: owned by the company and that you all work for
- 17:48Speaker 9: the company and it is not labeled anything, who cares?
- 17:53Speaker 1: Go for it.
- 17:54Speaker 7: Okay. Okay.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Well, you do. You take the mustard.
- 17:59Speaker 6: I take the mustard.
- 18:00Speaker 3: I'm shocked that you do that.
- 18:02Speaker 13: Really?
- 18:02Speaker 7: Yes.
- 18:03Speaker 3: It's good mustard. You get someone else's mustard and squirt
- 18:07Speaker 3: it on your meat.
- 18:08Speaker 6: There's not a name on it. It's in the door.
- 18:10Speaker 1: It's communal mustard.
- 18:11Speaker 6: It's communal. It's for everybody.
- 18:13Speaker 11: No?
- 18:14Speaker 1: I would do the same thing, actually.
- 18:15Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 18:16Speaker 6: I'm not a fridge stealer. Or am I?
- 18:19Speaker 3: Well, you are. You take the mustard.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a communal mustard. There's no label
- 18:23Speaker 1: on it.
- 18:23Speaker 6: There's no name on it.
- 18:23Speaker 3: So at work, we got people that keep on stealing
- 18:26Speaker 3: our stuff out of our fridge.
- 18:28Speaker 5: So to set them up, what we do is we
- 18:31Speaker 5: get extreme hot sauce and mix it in with different
- 18:34Speaker 5: types of condiments.
- 18:36Speaker 6: And we also will switch.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Out salt with sugar, sugar with salt.
- 18:39Speaker 7: Oh.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Ruin their coffee as well.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Now they're going deep. So you, Bill. Oh, that's a
- 18:47Speaker 3: great idea.
- 18:48Speaker 6: Wow. Oh, now I'm nervous. Oh, man. I used to
- 18:51Speaker 6: live in these, you know, kind of sober living places.
- 18:54Speaker 6: And that was what would happen in the fridges is
- 18:57Speaker 6: somebody would be eating some or drinking somebody else's stuff.
- 18:59Speaker 3: Oh.
- 19:00Speaker 6: And they would taint it to get them to stop.
- 19:03Speaker 7: Oh, man.
- 19:04Speaker 6: Oh, see, now we're giving ideas to people.
- 19:05Speaker 1: That's next level.
- 19:06Speaker 14: I work in a very small office. probably five of us.
- 19:09Speaker 14: There's only one other person that drinks coffee. I used
- 19:13Speaker 14: to bring my own coffee creamer in because I'm very
- 19:15Speaker 14: picky and I never put my name on it, but
- 19:18Speaker 14: I knew there was only one other person that drank
- 19:20Speaker 14: coffee and she was using my creamer and she would
- 19:22Speaker 14: never replace it. So to stop that from happening, I
- 19:26Speaker 14: watered down the creamer, put it back in the fridge
- 19:28Speaker 14: and she had a horrible coffee, never used it again.
- 19:31Speaker 3: God, this is a bigger problem than we thought.
- 19:34Speaker 5: Wow.
- 19:34Speaker 6: Oh, it is. Oh, yeah. This is a venting session.
- 19:38Speaker 7: Wow.
- 19:39Speaker 6: It's topic time. We do it every morning at 740,
- 19:40Speaker 6: you know?
- 19:41Speaker 13: I work in an office building. We share a community kitchen,
- 19:45Speaker 13: West building, East building, um, refrigerators, microwaves. I had a
- 19:51Speaker 13: coworker bought a sandwich from downstairs, ate half of it,
- 19:56Speaker 13: put the rest of it in the refrigerator to eat later.
- 19:58Speaker 13: Cause we work 12 hour shifts, same shift, same day.
- 20:02Speaker 13: She went to go get it later on to eat
- 20:04Speaker 13: it for her dinner.
- 20:05Speaker 8: That was gone.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Oh, someone ate half the sandwich.
- 20:09Speaker 6: Same day. Same day. Okay. So a couple of weeks
- 20:13Speaker 6: ago here at the radio station, they had a new idea,
- 20:16Speaker 6: which was a great idea, was to put out snacks
- 20:20Speaker 6: in the kitchen. So they had three bins filled with snacks, gluten-free.
- 20:24Speaker 6: They had some Belvitas.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Oh, it's awesome.
- 20:26Speaker 1: They had nuts, like a nut mix.
- 20:27Speaker 3: A nut mix.
- 20:28Speaker 6: And they had a sign saying, snacks will be refilled
- 20:30Speaker 6: every Monday. Make them last.
- 20:33Speaker 7: Yep.
- 20:34Speaker 6: It lasted one week. Not even a week.
- 20:37Speaker 1: It never happened again.
- 20:38Speaker 6: They stocked it on a Monday. They were gone that afternoon.
- 20:40Speaker 6: They restocked them again the next Monday and they were
- 20:43Speaker 6: gone in an hour. Now the sign is down and
- 20:45Speaker 6: the bins are in the corner. It's all done.
- 20:49Speaker 3: They didn't have to say anything. Just their gesture. The
- 20:51Speaker 3: fact that they took the rack, stacked them up and
- 20:53Speaker 3: put them in a corner.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Take one.
- 20:55Speaker 13: Yes.
- 20:55Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 20:56Speaker 6: Nobody's taking one. They're stuffing their pockets. I think one
- 21:00Speaker 6: person took all of it. I think so, too.
- 21:02Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 21:03Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so, too. Absolutely.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Hey, it's Sarah from Maine.
- 21:05Speaker 1: So my last job, one day I brought in.
- 21:07Speaker 10: This really delicious leftover fancy ramen noodles. And then, of course,
- 21:12Speaker 10: that day, a drunk homeless person crashed his bike through
- 21:17Speaker 10: our front door, and we found him in our kitchen
- 21:20Speaker 10: making a cup of coffee in the Keurig and eating
- 21:23Speaker 10: my leftover ramen noodles, even though it had my name
- 21:28Speaker 10: on it.
- 21:28Speaker 7: So.
- 21:30Speaker 10: Like he clearly had no respect for the system.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Welcome back into the best of Billy and Lisa in
- 21:35Speaker 2: the morning. I'm producer Riley counting down the top five
- 21:37Speaker 2: moments of the week with you. So let's get right
- 21:39Speaker 2: into the number two moment because Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy chain
- 21:43Speaker 2: fields festival is today out in California. And we had
- 21:47Speaker 2: a local girl on the show because she is going
- 21:50Speaker 2: to the festival and was invited by Olivia herself.
- 21:53Speaker 5: It has an incredible lineup. I mean, everybody, all female artists, artists,
- 21:58Speaker 5: Dolce is in the lineup. Obviously, Olivia is going to perform.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Chapel Rowan is in the lineup.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Stevie Nicks.
- 22:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 22:04Speaker 5: Sarah McLaughlin. It's going to be awesome. But she did
- 22:07Speaker 5: something cool for the festival.
- 22:08Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I ran all the way down.
- 22:10Speaker 6: It's okay. You need a second thing?
- 22:12Speaker 1: She did do something really cool.
- 22:13Speaker 3: She chose 10 female-owned businesses, right?
- 22:16Speaker 11: Right.
- 22:17Speaker 9: Across the country, it's part of the Etsy Creative Village
- 22:19Speaker 9: that will be part of the festival on Saturday out
- 22:22Speaker 9: in California. So one of the women chosen is from
- 22:27Speaker 9: New Hampshire.
- 22:28Speaker 6: Yeah, her name is Kaylee, and she makes these floral bookmarks.
- 22:32Speaker 6: It's really impressive. Which apparently started during COVID.
- 22:35Speaker 11: So I would write books and talk about books that
- 22:38Speaker 11: I read during COVID. During that time, I started doing
- 22:42Speaker 11: these pressed flower bookmarks.
- 22:44Speaker 3: It was COVID.
- 22:44Speaker 11: I needed a hobby.
- 22:45Speaker 6: So I got to give a shout out to Kaylee's
- 22:48Speaker 6: best friend or friend, Sarah. Because that's who reached out
- 22:51Speaker 6: to you, right? That's who reached out to me and said,
- 22:53Speaker 6: you have to have her on the show. She's a
- 22:54Speaker 6: good friend. This is amazing. I said, it's a no brainer.
- 22:57Speaker 6: And now she's on the phone.
- 22:58Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Hey, Kaylee, you there?
- 23:00Speaker 7: Hi.
- 23:01Speaker 5: This is really mind-blowing, Kaylee. So only 10 women businesses
- 23:06Speaker 5: were chosen, and you were one of them by Olivia Rodrigo.
- 23:10Speaker 3: How on earth?
- 23:13Speaker 11: I have no idea. Honestly, even now, I still can't
- 23:16Speaker 11: really believe it. Until I'm actually there, I don't even
- 23:19Speaker 11: know if it's real.
- 23:21Speaker 1: When were you contacted?
- 23:22Speaker 11: A couple months ago, Etsy reached out to me, and
- 23:26Speaker 11: we've been going at it ever since.
- 23:29Speaker 3: Wow.
- 23:30Speaker 5: So the festival is this coming Saturday. Now, how will
- 23:35Speaker 5: you set up and are you ready?
- 23:39Speaker 11: Um that's a loaded question uh not really um i
- 23:43Speaker 11: still have about 200 or so bookmarks that i'm trying
- 23:46Speaker 11: to get done before i fly out on thursday um
- 23:50Speaker 11: but etsy's pretty much handling everything as far as setup
- 23:53Speaker 11: goes so i don't really have to worry about any
- 23:55Speaker 11: of that i just have to worry about making the.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Product how many bookmarks are you bringing with you.
- 24:00Speaker 11: Uh the the goal was 500 wow wow and you're doing.
- 24:06Speaker 6: It all yourself Yes, for the most part.
- 24:10Speaker 11: I have some amazing friends, as you mentioned, my friend
- 24:12Speaker 11: Sarah and all of my other friends and my husband,
- 24:15Speaker 11: my family have been rallying behind me and helping me out.
- 24:19Speaker 5: And basically everybody on your team is equipped with tweezers
- 24:23Speaker 5: and glue.
- 24:25Speaker 3: For the most part, yeah.
- 24:27Speaker 11: So tweezers, my husband's doing tassels every night.
- 24:31Speaker 9: Are the daisies that you're putting in the bookmarks, are
- 24:33Speaker 9: they real daisies?
- 24:36Speaker 11: Yes, they're real pressed flowers. So the bookmarks themselves have
- 24:40Speaker 11: a mixture of real pressed flowers, and then it has
- 24:43Speaker 11: some mixed media elements like stickers and embellishments and foil.
- 24:47Speaker 5: Now, where are you getting the pressed flowers? This could
- 24:51Speaker 5: be a stupid question, but where are you getting the
- 24:53Speaker 5: pressed flowers?
- 24:55Speaker 11: So typically I press them all myself, but.
- 24:59Speaker 3: With this collaboration, that would be way too much. Like
- 25:02Speaker 3: is that with an iron? Like how do you press flowers?
- 25:07Speaker 11: Just like in a book or surprisingly enough in a microwave.
- 25:11Speaker 7: Wow.
- 25:13Speaker 6: Microwave?
- 25:14Speaker 11: Wow.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Yes.
- 25:15Speaker 3: And now you're going to a world.
- 25:16Speaker 11: These ones I'm ordering on Etsy. So these ones I'm
- 25:19Speaker 11: getting pre-pressed and everything so that I don't have to
- 25:22Speaker 11: worry about that.
- 25:24Speaker 5: Okay, so you're going down to the festival this weekend.
- 25:29Speaker 9: Yes.
- 25:29Speaker 5: Is there some sort of an arrangement that you should
- 25:32Speaker 5: or would meet Olivia Rodrigo?
- 25:35Speaker 3: Not that I know of as of yet.
- 25:38Speaker 11: They haven't mentioned anything, but my fingers are crossed. I
- 25:42Speaker 11: would really love to meet her.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Do you get to go to the show after the market?
- 25:46Speaker 7: Yes.
- 25:48Speaker 11: Yeah, so the market will close when Olivia goes on set.
- 25:52Speaker 11: So we get to shut down shop and then go
- 25:55Speaker 11: see her set.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Fun.
- 25:56Speaker 6: That's perfect.
- 25:57Speaker 5: Now, will you have some sort of a commemorative letter
- 26:01Speaker 5: or something that you can frame, like a thank you
- 26:04Speaker 5: from Olivia or something?
- 26:06Speaker 11: I'm not sure, but I will be taking lots of
- 26:09Speaker 11: photos and everything.
- 26:11Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's funny, Kaylee.
- 26:12Speaker 5: In less than an hour, we have a couple of
- 26:14Speaker 5: really big Olivia Rodrigo announcements.
- 26:17Speaker 3: And exclusive to the show. And I think one of.
- 26:20Speaker 5: Them is that, that Olivia Rodrigo is going to know.
- 26:27Speaker 1: I have to say, Kaylee, you started your bookstagram. I mean,
- 26:31Speaker 1: and it's a bookmark.
- 26:32Speaker 9: I'd love to invite you to come to Lisa's book
- 26:34Speaker 9: club and sell at a few of our events.
- 26:36Speaker 1: If you are available, cause that would be really fun.
- 26:39Speaker 11: Oh my goodness.
- 26:40Speaker 7: I would love that. Yeah.
- 26:42Speaker 5: Now listen, Kaylee, The festival this weekend in California, Olivia
- 26:48Speaker 5: Rodrigo's festival is big.
- 26:49Speaker 3: It's nowhere near as big as Lisa's book club. This
- 26:54Speaker 3: is your event.
- 26:55Speaker 6: All right.
- 26:55Speaker 3: So you got to make this happen.
- 26:57Speaker 1: We're so excited.
- 26:58Speaker 3: I can't wait.
- 26:59Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:59Speaker 6: I asked Kaylee to come into the studio and she's like, oh,
- 27:02Speaker 6: my God, I'd love to, Justin.
- 27:03Speaker 5: But.
- 27:04Speaker 6: I'm leaving Thursday.
- 27:04Speaker 1: She's got bookmarks to make.
- 27:07Speaker 6: So she says she's going to come back into the studio.
- 27:09Speaker 5: After the festival. Wow, this is so cool. It's a
- 27:12Speaker 5: big deal for Newcastle, New Hampshire, which, by the way, is.
- 27:17Speaker 3: A beautiful area.
- 27:19Speaker 11: Yeah, it's really exciting. I have no idea how she
- 27:22Speaker 11: found me in little old New Hampshire, but I'm very honored.
- 27:27Speaker 5: Between now and Saturday, the festival, Kaylee, you've got to
- 27:30Speaker 5: find out how she found you.
- 27:32Speaker 11: I'll find out.
- 27:35Speaker 1: And you're on Etsy. It's Kaylee Reads, right, on Etsy?
- 27:39Speaker 10: Yes.
- 27:40Speaker 9: If you want to look at all of the bookmarks
- 27:41Speaker 9: and all of the stuff that she's making.
- 27:43Speaker 3: Kaylee, are you a big reader?
- 27:46Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, definitely.
- 27:47Speaker 5: That would be ironic if you didn't read it all.
- 27:52Speaker 3: Well, Kaylee, congratulations.
- 27:53Speaker 7: I love to read.
- 27:54Speaker 3: You will never forget this. It's a great experience.
- 27:57Speaker 7: I'm so excited.
- 27:58Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 27:59Speaker 3: And good luck with the bids.
- 27:59Speaker 11: Thank you.
- 28:02Speaker 6: Thanks, Kaylee. Yeah, we'll get her back. We'll get her
- 28:04Speaker 6: in after the festival.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I want to hear about the whole thing.
- 28:07Speaker 6: Yeah, it was so funny because I'm like, we'd really
- 28:09Speaker 6: like to have you in the studio. And she's like,
- 28:10Speaker 6: this is my dream come true to come into the studio.
- 28:13Speaker 6: She's like, I'm working 24 hours a day. I have
- 28:16Speaker 6: to call in.
- 28:16Speaker 1: She's pressing flowers.
- 28:18Speaker 3: It's like amazing to me.
- 28:19Speaker 6: It's really crazy. So that's Kaylee underscore reads on Instagram.
- 28:23Speaker 6: A lot of people DM me about that.
- 28:24Speaker 2: So when we came into the show on Wednesday morning,
- 28:27Speaker 2: it was to very, very sad news.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Dolly Parton, the queen, the icon had passed.
- 28:33Speaker 2: And we spent a lot of the show talking about her,
- 28:36Speaker 2: having you guys tell us your favorite Dolly memories. So
- 28:39Speaker 2: this is the number one moment. Remembering the queen, Dolly Parton.
- 28:43Speaker 5: People were finding out all over the world yesterday about
- 28:46Speaker 5: the passing. of Dolly Parton at 80 years old, one
- 28:50Speaker 5: of the brightest lights, one of the biggest stars on
- 28:53Speaker 5: the planet, certainly one of the biggest, if not the
- 28:55Speaker 5: biggest country star of all time.
- 28:58Speaker 1: She touched so many people.
- 28:59Speaker 3: And was loved.
- 29:01Speaker 5: By so many people and for so many different reasons.
- 29:03Speaker 5: But the message actually came from her nephew yesterday.
- 29:06Speaker 12: This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years
- 29:09Speaker 12: ago before I fully absorbed it as a future reality.
- 29:12Speaker 12: It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with
- 29:15Speaker 12: absolute pride and great sadness.
- 29:17Speaker 3: But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly.
- 29:20Speaker 12: Dolly has lived in the light and is in the
- 29:22Speaker 12: arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl and Her parents
- 29:25Speaker 12: and countless others who have watched her and long for
- 29:28Speaker 12: her to meet them in the heavens. She has always
- 29:30Speaker 12: been on your television, your record player, your CD, and
- 29:34Speaker 12: on your phone playlist, becoming an extended part of your family.
- 29:37Speaker 12: Our family and the team she has entrusted with her
- 29:40Speaker 12: legacy will work diligently to ensure her spirit will live
- 29:43Speaker 12: with us forever. May God bless Dolly Parton, and may
- 29:45Speaker 12: God bless you all. She will always love you.
- 29:49Speaker 7: Oh, my God. Wow.
- 29:50Speaker 5: It's one of those stories that people will always remember
- 29:52Speaker 5: where they were and how they heard the news about
- 29:55Speaker 5: Dolly Parton's passing.
- 29:56Speaker 6: I heard it on WBZ radio, driving... In Salem, New Hampshire.
- 30:00Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 30:00Speaker 6: And it stopped me right in my tracks.
- 30:02Speaker 9: I saw it on my Instagram feed and I burst
- 30:05Speaker 9: into tears.
- 30:05Speaker 1: I was like, I can't believe that this is actually happening.
- 30:08Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 30:08Speaker 1: Because it was we had heard some rumblings recently.
- 30:11Speaker 7: Right.
- 30:12Speaker 9: Because she was supposed to do a Vegas residency and
- 30:14Speaker 9: then that didn't happen.
- 30:15Speaker 2: And.
- 30:16Speaker 5: Now, one of the networks a couple of days ago
- 30:18Speaker 5: posted a picture of Dolly. I didn't have the sound up,
- 30:20Speaker 5: but it said Dolly dealing with hard times. And that
- 30:23Speaker 5: was a weird way to put it.
- 30:24Speaker 6: But no one knew she had cancer.
- 30:25Speaker 1: No one knew she had.
- 30:26Speaker 9: Cancer, but she had done a really nice video for
- 30:28Speaker 9: Travis and Taylor for their wedding because they had donated
- 30:30Speaker 9: $ 2 million to her imagination library as part of their
- 30:34Speaker 9: wedding thing. And she did this beautiful, like, thank you
- 30:37Speaker 9: video that they played.
- 30:39Speaker 1: So I don't know.
- 30:39Speaker 5: Now, her imagination library, we're talking about millions of books
- 30:44Speaker 5: went to kids all over the world.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Well, her father couldn't read or write.
- 30:49Speaker 7: I know.
- 30:49Speaker 1: So she was really into literacy.
- 30:51Speaker 5: Grew up in a one-room house, 11 children in a
- 30:55Speaker 5: one-room house.
- 30:56Speaker 6: Yeah, the love story, though, is what gets me.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Oh, with Carl?
- 31:00Speaker 6: He died last year.
- 31:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:02Speaker 6: And she said, you know, openly that that was a
- 31:04Speaker 6: lot of the reason why she had so many health
- 31:06Speaker 6: issues is she neglected her own for so long taking
- 31:09Speaker 6: care of him.
- 31:10Speaker 3: Talk about where you were and how you heard the news.
- 31:12Speaker 3: How about this?
- 31:13Speaker 5: Audience members at 9 to 5, the musical in London.
- 31:18Speaker 5: got word of Dolly's death minutes before the show began.
- 31:22Speaker 15: Before we begin tonight's performance of 9 to 5, we
- 31:25Speaker 15: would like to take a moment to remember the remarkable
- 31:28Speaker 15: Dolly Parton, who has sadly passed away today. 9 to
- 31:31Speaker 15: 5 was originally written and produced by Dolly, whose extraordinary talent, creativity,
- 31:39Speaker 15: and spirit are woven into every.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Part of this work.
- 31:43Speaker 15: Tonight, we will perform the piece as she intended, with
- 31:47Speaker 15: great respect and affection for the woman whose vision brought.
- 31:51Speaker 16: It to life.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Imagine sitting there for the show and then sitting through
- 31:56Speaker 5: the show, having just heard about Dolly's passing.
- 31:59Speaker 6: Or having to perform the show.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, right.
- 32:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 32:04Speaker 5: Tributes obviously pouring in from all over the world. Jelly
- 32:07Speaker 5: Roll was guest hosting for Kimmel last night, and here
- 32:09Speaker 5: he was.
- 32:10Speaker 17: I do want to mention the big story on everyone's
- 32:12Speaker 17: heart and mind. We lost a legend today, the great
- 32:15Speaker 17: Dolly Parton. She was such an inspiration to so many,
- 32:19Speaker 17: myself included. We're both from Tennessee, and she meant a
- 32:22Speaker 17: lot to my family, y'all. We used to sit around
- 32:24Speaker 17: the kitchen table and listen to her music together as
- 32:26Speaker 17: a family. I'll never forget it. I learned so much
- 32:28Speaker 17: for Dolly over the years about songwriting, how to handle
- 32:32Speaker 17: this crazy business, and how to support your community. So
- 32:35Speaker 17: I want to send my love to East Tennessee and
- 32:36Speaker 17: Sevier County right now. I'm representing her. We love you, Dolly,
- 32:39Speaker 17: and we miss you. She was infinitely talented. She was
- 32:42Speaker 17: relentlessly funny and adored by all. She might be the
- 32:46Speaker 17: last American that everyone liked. We will miss her dearly.
- 32:50Speaker 17: Rest in peace, Dolly. We will always love you.
- 32:52Speaker 1: It's so true.
- 32:54Speaker 6: What a great way to say it.
- 32:57Speaker 5: I don't think there was a country singer or singer
- 32:59Speaker 5: at all that wasn't touched in some way by Dolly Parton.
- 33:02Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Tributes from all over the world. Miley Cyrus calling it
- 33:05Speaker 3: a devastating day for humanity. She was.
- 33:08Speaker 1: She was her.
- 33:09Speaker 3: Dolly was her godmother.
- 33:10Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 33:11Speaker 3: M & M.
- 33:12Speaker 5: Posted a letter Dolly Parton actually sent him after his
- 33:15Speaker 5: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. I said, even
- 33:18Speaker 5: as a kid, I mostly listened to rap, but he
- 33:21Speaker 5: always considered Dolly as an icon.
- 33:23Speaker 6: And Dolly in that letter said, you know, congratulations. I
- 33:27Speaker 6: don't even know anything about rap. I don't listen to rap.
- 33:30Speaker 3: That sounds like Dolly, doesn't it?
- 33:33Speaker 5: Paul McCartney, thank you, Dolly, for the music you gave
- 33:36Speaker 5: me and the music you gave to the world. That
- 33:38Speaker 5: was well said. And I know Taylor posted, but I
- 33:42Speaker 5: couldn't find her post.
- 33:44Speaker 2: She wrote, like, a letter that was, like, a handwritten letter,
- 33:47Speaker 2: and she posted it on, like, Twitter, I think.
- 33:49Speaker 1: But she was just saying what everybody else was saying,
- 33:51Speaker 1: that she was an icon and she'll be missed.
- 33:53Speaker 3: She said she had true grit. True grit.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Yep.
- 33:56Speaker 3: How about this? Dolly was on Fallon last year. Get
- 33:59Speaker 3: ready for this.
- 34:01Speaker 5: And she talked about an unreleased song that would be
- 34:04Speaker 5: released on her 100th birthday.
- 34:08Speaker 12: You have a secret song locked away in Dollywood that
- 34:11Speaker 12: will be released in 2045.
- 34:13Speaker 16: That's the truth.
- 34:15Speaker 3: No, seriously.
- 34:16Speaker 16: We do a lot of things at Dollywood, and one year.
- 34:19Speaker 3: We thought about that.
- 34:20Speaker 16: They asked me if I would write a song.
- 34:23Speaker 1: That nobody would ever hear.
- 34:24Speaker 3: I'll be dead. Gone.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Well, I might not be, because I'll be 99.
- 34:28Speaker 3: You know me. I might still be hopping around. Yeah,
- 34:30Speaker 3: you'll be 99. There you go.
- 34:35Speaker 16: Anyway, I wrote a song and I put it in
- 34:39Speaker 16: the box to be open.
- 34:40Speaker 3: And I even put, like at that.
- 34:41Speaker 16: Time, there was a CD player and the Ways and
- 34:44Speaker 16: Say and what we were doing with our music at
- 34:46Speaker 16: that time. Left all the instructions and here's how you
- 34:49Speaker 16: can play this.
- 34:50Speaker 3: I swear.
- 34:51Speaker 1: And so I don't know what they'll do with it.
- 34:53Speaker 16: But I have regretted that because it was a really
- 34:56Speaker 16: good song. I keep warning them to let me dig
- 35:01Speaker 16: it up and put something else in it that's not
- 35:03Speaker 16: as good.
- 35:06Speaker 3: 2045, we'll see the song. Or sooner now.
- 35:09Speaker 6: No, it's in a capsule. It's locked away. It cannot
- 35:12Speaker 6: be opened. It's pretty elaborate.
- 35:14Speaker 9: Didn't she did a People magazine interview four days before
- 35:17Speaker 9: her death?
- 35:18Speaker 7: Really?
- 35:18Speaker 3: I think I saw that. You're right.
- 35:21Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 35:21Speaker 1: She said she still had many more things to do
- 35:24Speaker 1: to achieve.
- 35:25Speaker 6: Yeah, I did see that even the people that were
- 35:27Speaker 6: really close to her knew she was sick were shocked.
- 35:30Speaker 6: It was so sudden.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Right.
- 35:32Speaker 5: Flags are at half staff at the White House. The
- 35:34Speaker 5: Empire State Building lit up pink last night. The Longfellow
- 35:37Speaker 5: Bridge here in town was lit up as well as
- 35:39Speaker 5: 23 other bridges around Massachusetts. She sold 100 million records.
- 35:47Speaker 5: She won as many as 11 Grammy Awards and wrote
- 35:50Speaker 5: as many as 3000 songs. And don't forget the Whitney song.
- 35:54Speaker 5: I will always love you. That was a Dolly Parton song.
- 36:08Speaker 5: Whitney Houston made the song a smash hit and by
- 36:10Speaker 5: doing so also made Dolly rich.
- 36:13Speaker 3: People say, well, she claims it's her record. I said,
- 36:15Speaker 3: it is her record.
- 36:16Speaker 16: It's my song, but it's most definitely her record.
- 36:19Speaker 1: It didn't sound like that when I had it.
- 36:22Speaker 3: She made me rich.
- 36:23Speaker 9: I literally have chills running down my whole body right now.
- 36:27Speaker 3: Had the best way of saying things and expressing herself.
- 36:30Speaker 9: And giving and paying tribute to people in such a
- 36:33Speaker 9: beautiful way.
- 36:34Speaker 1: And like so honestly.
- 36:36Speaker 6: Yeah, and that song obviously widely covered as well. Not
- 36:39Speaker 6: just by Whitney, by everyone. Ariana. Kelly Clarkson.
- 36:46Speaker 3: Yeah. Unbelievable. Someone argued Jolene was her biggest song.
- 36:56Speaker 6: We love you.
- 36:59Speaker 3: Jolene, Jolene. And there were a lot of covers of Jolene, right?
- 37:04Speaker 1: Beyonce did one.
- 37:05Speaker 6: Beyonce did one.
- 37:06Speaker 13: Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
- 37:10Speaker 6: Of course, her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus.
- 37:12Speaker 3: Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
- 37:17Speaker 6: Then there were the covers that nobody asked for, like
- 37:19Speaker 6: Lil Nas X.
- 37:20Speaker 5: Jolene.
- 37:22Speaker 18: By the way, Jolene written because, you know, the story
- 37:28Speaker 18: behind this, there was a bank clerk that was flirting
- 37:31Speaker 18: with her husband and she.
- 37:32Speaker 6: Didn't like it. She wrote that song because she was
- 37:35Speaker 6: worried that she was going to scoop her man up.
- 37:38Speaker 6: Please don't take my man.
- 37:41Speaker 5: Unbelievably, nine to five was her only song that went
- 37:44Speaker 5: to number one.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Because of the movie. I love that movie so much.
- 37:57Speaker 6: It was a great movie.
- 37:58Speaker 3: It's so great.
- 37:59Speaker 1: We have to watch that again.
- 38:00Speaker 3: Jane Fonda was in the movie. Who else was in it?
- 38:03Speaker 1: Sally Field.
- 38:04Speaker 3: Sally Field, yeah.
- 38:05Speaker 1: And I think Julia Roberts.
- 38:06Speaker 7: Oh, boy.
- 38:07Speaker 6: Well, Pitbull did a collaboration with Dolly Parton, and he
- 38:10Speaker 6: kind of reworked the 9 to 5 in 2024. All right.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Unreal.
- 38:13Speaker 12: It's amazing with Dolly because she.
- 38:16Speaker 3: Was 80 years old. I mean, she's been in show
- 38:19Speaker 3: business for so long, but she touched so many generations.
- 38:22Speaker 6: Six decades.
- 38:23Speaker 3: Six decades.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Lily Tomlin was in it.
- 38:33Speaker 3: Ah, yeah.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Yeah, Julia Roberts. She was a little young.
- 38:37Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 38:38Speaker 5: And don't forget, she came to Boston in 2019. I'm
- 38:41Speaker 5: sure there were other times when Dolly made her way
- 38:45Speaker 5: to Boston. But in 2019, she helped light the Christmas
- 38:47Speaker 5: tree on Boston Common. We found a clip.
- 38:59Speaker 7: Wow.
- 39:00Speaker 6: Come on. Sounds like you, Bill.
- 39:02Speaker 3: She also did Emerson theater in Boston as well as
- 39:07Speaker 3: a symphony hall.
- 39:07Speaker 5: And by the way, Dolly's first time on the radio
- 39:16Speaker 5: was at 10 years old in 1956. Here's our youngest
- 39:22Speaker 5: singing sensation here, little Dolly Parton, Dolly.
- 39:32Speaker 16: But it was only when I got on stage the
- 39:35Speaker 16: first time and sang in front of a crowd, I
- 39:37Speaker 16: was just about 10 then, and I sang my song,
- 39:40Speaker 16: and they kept bringing me back, want me to.
- 39:41Speaker 3: Sing it, sing it, sing it.
- 39:43Speaker 16: That was the moment that I realized that was what
- 39:46Speaker 16: I was going to do for the.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Rest of my life.
- 39:54Speaker 5: She also talked about the famous Dolly Parton look and
- 39:57Speaker 5: where that came from.
- 39:58Speaker 16: The most beautiful girl, woman I had ever seen in
- 40:01Speaker 16: my life. We didn't go to town that much, but
- 40:04Speaker 16: when I would, I would go to see her because.
- 40:07Speaker 3: She had these long red fingernails. She wore bright lipstick.
- 40:10Speaker 3: She had peroxide blonde hair, wore tight.
- 40:13Speaker 7: Clothes, short.
- 40:14Speaker 16: And I thought she was the most beautiful thing I
- 40:16Speaker 16: had ever seen.
- 40:17Speaker 3: And my mother said, oh, she's just trash. She's just
- 40:20Speaker 3: a tramp.
- 40:21Speaker 1: And I thought, that's what I want to be when
- 40:23Speaker 1: I grow up.
- 40:28Speaker 3: That is classic.
- 40:30Speaker 6: She's the best.
- 40:31Speaker 8: Wow.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Well, you want to laugh and you want to cry.
- 40:34Speaker 3: She's a special person.
- 40:36Speaker 5: And by the way, here's Dolly on how she wanted
- 40:39Speaker 5: to be remembered.
- 40:41Speaker 16: Well, a lot of people ask me, you know, what
- 40:44Speaker 16: I want people to say about me 100 years from now.
- 40:46Speaker 16: I want them to say, Dolly, she looks good for
- 40:49Speaker 16: her age.
- 40:52Speaker 3: I got to tell you.
- 40:53Speaker 1: She really did. She always did.
- 40:55Speaker 3: Our phone lines are going to be open all morning.
- 40:57Speaker 3: The talkbacks are open all morning.
- 40:59Speaker 5: If you're out there and you're listening and you want
- 41:01Speaker 5: to talk about Dolly and tell stories.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 41:04Speaker 8: It's the mayor of the South Bend.
- 41:05Speaker 6: You knew the mayor was going to be the first one.
- 41:07Speaker 3: Well, I'm very sad today. I love Dolly Parton.
- 41:11Speaker 8: I cried when I got the news and I just
- 41:15Speaker 8: love her. I got the chance to meet her years ago.
- 41:18Speaker 8: And she's just as wonderful in person. So, Dolly, we
- 41:23Speaker 8: will always love you.
- 41:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny how everybody's ending their statements.
- 41:28Speaker 6: I know. I know.
- 41:29Speaker 3: I always love you.
- 41:30Speaker 6: R.I.P. Dolly Parton.
