- 0:57Speaker 1: you can be upset you stepped in the poop, or
- 1:00Speaker 1: I'll be happy you had shoes on. If in fact,
- 1:02Speaker 1: you did have shoes on. But yeah, all those little
- 1:04Speaker 1: quotes and stuff that they really do go, you know,
- 1:08Speaker 1: a long way in life if you internalize them and
- 1:10Speaker 1: you apply them to your own life. Man, its life's
- 1:13Speaker 1: too short to me negative, you know, And I feel
- 1:15Speaker 1: like mo, she's positive, like me, I do my best Anyway,
- 1:19Speaker 1: Lots to talk about. So my mom ready for this.
- 1:22Speaker 1: So my mom divorced my dad and they got divorced
- 1:25Speaker 1: when I was a teenager. Okay, so I think it
- 1:27Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety nine, two thousand, maybe two thousand and one,
- 1:31Speaker 1: right around there, right around the turn of the century.
- 1:34Speaker 1: They got divorced. Okay, So my mom ended up with
- 1:36Speaker 1: a guy that she was with for twenty years, right,
- 1:39Speaker 1: and then a few years ago they split up. Okay.
- 1:42Speaker 1: He lives up in Maine. She lives down in Haveral.
- 1:45Speaker 1: My brother lives in her house. They live, you know,
- 1:47Speaker 1: they have kids and everything. My mom kind of she's retired.
- 1:49Speaker 1: She helps my brother with his kids, but she's single.
- 1:52Speaker 1: So what are the chances Okay that her neighbor where
- 1:57Speaker 1: she lives grew up in Medford, as did my mother.
- 2:01Speaker 1: She grew up her whole childhood in Medford, right down
- 2:03Speaker 1: the street. So their friends her and her neighbor, and
- 2:05Speaker 1: so one day recently they're having a conversation and the
- 2:09Speaker 1: neighbor says, hey, I might have the story wrong, but
- 2:12Speaker 1: this is the gist of it. Hey, do you know
- 2:15Speaker 1: so and so a guy's name? And my mom says,
- 2:18Speaker 1: oh my god, that was my first boyfriend when I
- 2:21Speaker 1: was a teenager. He broke my heart. We're going back
- 2:25Speaker 1: fifty to fifty five years, right, first boyfriend, I think
- 2:29Speaker 1: for both of them, right, his first girlfriend, her first boyfriend,
- 2:32Speaker 1: first true love. Okay, that ended badly and so no,
- 2:35Speaker 1: and he said, oh no, way, yeah, I know him.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I grew up with them. Okay, So fast forward. Some
- 2:41Speaker 1: time goes by and my mom gets a knock on
- 2:44Speaker 1: the door. She opens the door and there's a guy,
- 2:46Speaker 1: older gentleman there that she's never seen before and says,
- 2:49Speaker 1: how can I help you? And the guy says, you
- 2:52Speaker 1: don't remember me, and she's like kind of putting it
- 2:55Speaker 1: together and he said and he says, Tony, Oh my god,
- 2:59Speaker 1: it was him. The neighbor told the friend, and he
- 3:01Speaker 1: was visiting the neighbor and he stopped over, just knocked
- 3:04Speaker 1: on my mother's door, said hello. They had a big reunion,
- 3:07Speaker 1: and I'll tell you that. One of the first things
- 3:08Speaker 1: he said, listen to this fifty years later. I'm so
- 3:12Speaker 1: sorry for what I did to you. I'm not sure
- 3:13Speaker 1: the details on what happened, if he just I think
- 3:16Speaker 1: he cheated on her, or maybe was he left her
- 3:19Speaker 1: for her friend. I think that was it, she told me,
- 3:21Speaker 1: but I was kind of half listening. I missed that part.
- 3:25Speaker 1: So they reconnected and they started spending some time together,
- 3:28Speaker 1: and now they are boyfriend and girlfriend. How about that
- 3:32Speaker 1: my mother and Tony amazing fifty years later. So yesterday
- 3:38Speaker 1: she texts me, now, mind you Okay, my mom doesn't
- 3:42Speaker 1: listen to the radio. She doesn't listen to the show.
- 3:45Speaker 1: A big part of that, I've said it before is
- 3:47Speaker 1: she's no one is more proud of me than my mom.
- 3:49Speaker 1: She tells me every single time. She's the best. Okay.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But you know, I tend to share things from my
- 3:55Speaker 1: past in a joking way, and I can look back
- 3:57Speaker 1: on those things and kind of make jokes about it,
- 3:59Speaker 1: like today when I was talking about the picture frames
- 4:02Speaker 1: that I buy that I bought at the store. You know,
- 4:04Speaker 1: when I got a room, my first like my own place,
- 4:06Speaker 1: was a room in a rooming house, and I bought
- 4:08Speaker 1: the picture frames to put pictures in, but I didn't
- 4:10Speaker 1: have any pictures. All I had was a trash bag,
- 4:13Speaker 1: so I just had the frames up with the stock
- 4:15Speaker 1: photos in them. You know, a lot's changed since then,
- 4:18Speaker 1: but it's like stories like that when she heard, when
- 4:21Speaker 1: she would hear them, would make her upset. And I
- 4:23Speaker 1: understand that, you know, her and my dad got it
- 4:26Speaker 1: the worse, you know, and I've made so many amends
- 4:29Speaker 1: to them, but especially my mom. You know, think about that, right,
- 4:32Speaker 1: every time the phone rang, her heart would sink. This
- 4:35Speaker 1: was the call. She waited every day for that call,
- 4:39Speaker 1: and every time the phone rang, it was like that dread,
- 4:42Speaker 1: this is going to be the call that my son's dead.
- 4:44Speaker 1: You know. It's it's a really tough thing. I'm super
- 4:47Speaker 1: grateful to be where I'm at now and we have
- 4:48Speaker 1: a great relationship. Anyway, she doesn't listen to the show
- 4:51Speaker 1: that much, so she texts me yesterday morning during the show,
- 4:55Speaker 1: by the way, and tells me that one she's being
- 4:59Speaker 1: sw off her feet by Tony, which and she's so flattered,
- 5:03Speaker 1: so happy for her, and could she have a favor.
- 5:07Speaker 1: So apparently she met his daughters, and his youngest daughter
- 5:10Speaker 1: is a huge fan of the Billy and Lisa show
- 5:13Speaker 1: in Me, and she wants to know if I can
- 5:16Speaker 1: give her, and I think it's her friend a shout
- 5:18Speaker 1: out on the radio, so of course I say, yeah,
- 5:22Speaker 1: of course, mom, anything you need, I'll do my best
- 5:24Speaker 1: to slide it in. So then this is where it
- 5:26Speaker 1: gets funny. So then she says, like what she wants
- 5:29Speaker 1: me to say, okay, and so I respond back, I go, okay,
- 5:33Speaker 1: no problem. Then she responds a time frame of six
- 5:37Speaker 1: thirty to seven point fifteen. So then I say, you
- 5:41Speaker 1: got it, no problem. That's a tough time because we,
- 5:44Speaker 1: you know, we're pretty like segment heavy, you know, with
- 5:47Speaker 1: the six thirty and then the entertainment at seven ten.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But I'll do my best, okay. And then she says, okay,
- 5:54Speaker 1: any day, but not Friday. Okay, you can do it.
- 5:58Speaker 1: You have two die hard fans, but whatever you do,
- 6:01Speaker 1: not Friday. So then I just love that text because
- 6:04Speaker 1: now she's like pushing it and I get it. She's
- 6:06Speaker 1: head over heels. You're never too old to be like,
- 6:09Speaker 1: you know, caught up, and that's where she is. So
- 6:12Speaker 1: I just love that. Then she writes, can you send
- 6:15Speaker 1: me the clip so I can send it to her
- 6:17Speaker 1: in case she misses it? So I love that one.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Then she writes, so this is hours later. I'm so
- 6:24Speaker 1: sorry to be a pest, but can you do it
- 6:26Speaker 1: on Wednesday or Thursday, but preferably Wednesday. I go, Mom, God,
- 6:31Speaker 1: I will do it. I got you. Don't worry. It's
- 6:35Speaker 1: just so funny because that's not like her at all,
- 6:37Speaker 1: like at all, she would never ask for that. So
- 6:39Speaker 1: I can tell she's really into into this guy, and
- 6:42Speaker 1: I'm just so happy for her. You know, when I
- 6:45Speaker 1: think about getting to getting older, you know, if maybe
- 6:50Speaker 1: you get a divorce or you know, you lose your
- 6:52Speaker 1: partner and you get to be sixty five, seventy years
- 6:55Speaker 1: old and you're single, you know, the thought of like
- 6:59Speaker 1: being alone forever, you know, that's kind of a scary thought,
- 7:01Speaker 1: not having that person. You know. My dad, my dad,
- 7:05Speaker 1: he divorced, my mind. He dated a little bit after
- 7:07Speaker 1: my mom, but not really. He's just been single, living
- 7:10Speaker 1: his best life, you know, for the past you know,
- 7:12Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years. There's no really, no effort. I
- 7:15Speaker 1: don't believe he doesn't tell me, but maybe he is.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he has dated. I'm not sure,
- 7:21Speaker 1: but as far as I know, he's single. But I
- 7:23Speaker 1: think everybody you know deserves to be with somebody and
- 7:25Speaker 1: spend their life with somebody. You know. That's just how
- 7:29Speaker 1: it is. Isn't that funny about my mom? I couldn't
- 7:31Speaker 1: wait when this happened yesterday. I could not wait to
- 7:33Speaker 1: jump on the after show and tell you guys about this.
- 7:35Speaker 1: So funny, so funny. Okay, what else? Thursday? Ariana Grande,
