- 6:17Speaker 6: all good.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
- 6:18Speaker 5: I played it for him for two seconds and I

- 6:22Speaker 3: Let's do attention. How's that right, Let's let's do it.
- 6:38Speaker 8: Oh god, wow, that's incredible. Job, so impressive. That's why

- 6:52Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, you've got the US quickest fingers. I think
- 6:54Speaker 3: I've ever seen my god. So you've done a lot
- 6:58Speaker 3: about the covers. The one you love doing the most.
- 7:02Speaker 6: That's a hard question. The one I love doing the
- 7:05Speaker 6: most is unreleased though. I did a version of fifty
- 7:08Speaker 6: Cents in the Club and I haven't put it out
- 7:11Speaker 6: yet though, but.
- 7:11Speaker 3: We're gonna put it out right now.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Show you can't do a little ditty of it or
- 7:16Speaker 4: a little piece a sure in the club, man, but
- 7:18Speaker 4: it's pretty simple without the bet you don't.
- 7:32Speaker 5: So now now, now that you have the new album
- 7:34Speaker 5: Renaissance Man and you're moving away from the covers, will
- 7:36Speaker 5: you released that eventually?
- 7:37Speaker 6: I'll still put it out, yeah, because I like to
- 7:40Speaker 6: do when I do a show, I like to have
- 7:43Speaker 6: a couple of a couple of moments like that that
- 7:46Speaker 6: the crowd sings along and we add the covers in,
- 7:49Speaker 6: you know, so I keep I'll still keep those in
- 7:51Speaker 6: my set, and I'll still you know, someone puts out
- 7:53Speaker 6: a good song, I might cover it, but for now,
- 7:56Speaker 6: the main focus is definitely on original music, putting out
- 7:59Speaker 6: you know, producing and writing and putting out original album
- 8:02Speaker 6: totally different experience than just playing someone else's song.
- 8:05Speaker 4: Now, Chris Brown is on the list. Yeah, and I'm
- 8:08Speaker 4: looking at what have you done with Chris Brown?
- 8:10Speaker 3: Because he's coming? Uh? Yeah with us? Did you let

- 8:19Speaker 6: to try and get involved with that. But I did
- 8:21Speaker 6: strings for for one of his tours. I forget what
- 8:24Speaker 6: the tour was called. It was in the Indigo maybe yeah, Indigo.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I did.

- 8:29Speaker 3: you give us to sample the little Chris Brown? Would

- 8:34Speaker 6: After after I did that, Uh, after I did, After
- 8:37Speaker 6: I recorded those strings, that was.
- 8:38Speaker 3: The last time I touched those pots. I don't have
- 8:41Speaker 3: a clue what I did.
- 8:43Speaker 5: But also, the very first one ret song that you
- 8:45Speaker 5: blew up on that went viral was Taylor Swift.
- 8:48Speaker 6: It was yeah, down on the tee at South Station.
- 8:50Speaker 6: If you google Subway violinists, it'll be the story of
- 8:53Speaker 6: Joshua Bell playing in the in the subway in Washington, DC.
- 8:56Speaker 6: And then every other article.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Is about me.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Let's get right in see the number four Moments of
- 9:00Speaker 2: the Week. It's producer Riley counting down the top five
- 9:02Speaker 2: moments of the week with you because this is the
- 9:04Speaker 2: best billion lease in the morning, and it feels like
- 9:06Speaker 2: people are always making lists that include Massachusetts and then
- 9:10Speaker 2: they end up sparking a topic time for us and
- 9:12Speaker 2: this one was no different.
- 9:13Speaker 9: Lisa break it down most fit and least fit cities.
- 9:17Speaker 9: So thirty five factors went into this list. Residents, activity levels,
- 9:22Speaker 9: chronic disease rates, to parks, air quality, transit and recreation access.
- 9:27Speaker 9: So that's what they sort of, you know, based it on.
- 9:31Speaker 9: So Boston is on the top ten fittest cities. Maybe
- 9:36Speaker 9: we made the top ten. So we are at number ten. Oh,
- 9:41Speaker 9: we just made it, just made it, okay, But we're
- 9:44Speaker 9: in okay. Other cities like the top five or Denver
- 9:48Speaker 9: was number five, Seattle was number four, Minneapolis three d
- 9:52Speaker 9: C Was number two. Really and then Arlington, Virginia was
- 9:56Speaker 9: number one, and it's the second time it's.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Been number one. Wait Arlington Virginia. Yes, what are they doing.
- 10:01Speaker 9: They have a lot of parks, they have a lot
- 10:03Speaker 9: of walking and biking trails, public transportation. Rates of obesity
- 10:08Speaker 9: and chronic disease are also measured, so they score the highest.
- 10:12Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, don't sleep on walking. Walking is one of
- 10:14Speaker 5: the most important things. Oh yeah, if you just walk,
- 10:17Speaker 5: you'll see a help benefit.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Absolutely, and more and more people are walking. We walk
- 10:21Speaker 3: more than we jog.
- 10:22Speaker 5: Now because you can burn more more calories. Yeah, if
- 10:25Speaker 5: you walk more of an incline.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Yea less stress on the knees. Yeah, definitely.
- 10:30Speaker 10: You know.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Well we made top ten. That's pretty good. It's not bad. Yeah,
- 10:33Speaker 3: that's pretty good.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Yeah, but I wonder what the scale of fitness is,
- 10:37Speaker 4: like what are they basing it, you know, like how
- 10:39Speaker 4: fit exactly?
- 10:40Speaker 5: Well, it's again, like Lisa I said, it's like, you know,
- 10:42Speaker 5: the chronic diseases and access to recreational activities exactly. So
- 10:48Speaker 5: like Arlington must they have a lot of parks apparently
- 10:50Speaker 5: and outdoor things to do.
- 10:51Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I think we should be way higher than ten.
- 10:54Speaker 3: This is a fit city. I don't care what they say.
- 10:56Speaker 3: If you want to be fitter, you have to be
- 10:58Speaker 3: like Lenny Kravitz. Did you see that story? So okay, yeah, fitness.
- 11:01Speaker 9: He's on the cover of Men's Health. He works out
- 11:05Speaker 9: in the leather pants, no joke. There is a picture
- 11:08Speaker 9: of him with his trainer lifting.
- 11:10Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 11:11Speaker 1: He's got some big dumb bell whatever that whatever you.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Call that on a bench machine you call that. Yeah,
- 11:17Speaker 3: I didn't see the picture.
- 11:18Speaker 5: Oh my god, un barbell.
- 11:19Speaker 3: It was a bar bell.
- 11:21Speaker 9: And he's literally like in black leather pants and he
- 11:24Speaker 9: does it on purpose, he said, because if he can
- 11:28Speaker 9: fit into those pants, he knows he's okay.
- 11:30Speaker 3: He's sixty two now.
- 11:31Speaker 9: He says he's fitter now than he was when he
- 11:33Speaker 9: was fifty. He also fasts all day and doesn't eat
- 11:38Speaker 9: until four pm.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. That's nothing new.
- 11:40Speaker 5: People have been fasting for centuries, but it's very popular now.
- 11:44Speaker 5: A lot of health benefits to fasting.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Well, he's got an eight pack. He does as sixty two.
- 11:48Speaker 5: Look at the pictures now, so he has leather pants on.
- 11:51Speaker 5: He's also working out with his sunglasses on normal thing.
- 11:54Speaker 4: So basically, however he looks or whatever he's wearing on stage.
- 11:59Speaker 1: He's worked, he works out and sometimes he'll run in jeans.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Really kind of weird. Well, everybody's got a weird thing.
- 12:07Speaker 3: You have a lot of weird fitness.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Well, just you know, on the topic of you know,
- 12:11Speaker 5: weird gym things, Jim Max things you might see in
- 12:14Speaker 5: the gym. Yeah, listen, I spend a lot of time
- 12:16Speaker 5: in the gym. I've seen a lot of things. I'm
- 12:17Speaker 5: weird myself.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
- 12:19Speaker 5: I've done the whole tape my mouth when I'm doing
- 12:22Speaker 5: cardio to try to only breathe.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Through my nose and Jim, you have your mouth taped.
- 12:26Speaker 5: I've done it. I don't do it anymore.
- 12:28Speaker 3: It'll be the first I've heard of this. Run my
- 12:31Speaker 3: mouth to sleep.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Well.
- 12:32Speaker 4: My wife does too, and if he wears the eye patches,
- 12:35Speaker 4: it's kind of creepy.
- 12:36Speaker 5: You use it while you work out, while you're running
- 12:38Speaker 5: or doing cardio.
- 12:39Speaker 9: If you were next to me at the gym with
- 12:42Speaker 9: your mouth tape, I was getting looked.
- 12:44Speaker 3: I honestly I would look at you done that.
- 12:46Speaker 4: I've also Lisa would immediately pick up her phone and
- 12:49Speaker 4: call me. Guy next to me on the treadmill and
- 12:52Speaker 4: he's got his mouth taped.
- 12:53Speaker 5: This is why this is a judgment free zone for
- 12:55Speaker 5: I don't judge anybody in the gym because I'm weird myself.
- 12:58Speaker 5: I've done the multiple layers of clothes, so a whole
- 13:01Speaker 5: sweatsuit with t shirts on while doing cardio. Yeah, burn sure, Yeah,
- 13:07Speaker 5: I did have the sauna suit once, you know, the
- 13:09Speaker 5: big inflatable suit that you wear.
- 13:11Speaker 3: You at work. I don't know, you sweat more doesn't
- 13:14Speaker 3: really work? I'm not sure.
- 13:15Speaker 4: In hockey, when I've played, like in prep school and everything,
- 13:17Speaker 4: a lot of the guys would show up after the summer.
- 13:20Speaker 4: They put on some weight, drinking beer and everything, and
- 13:22Speaker 4: they wore a rubber suit underneath their hockey gear. Yeah,
- 13:24Speaker 4: and would sweat for hours on the ice and they
- 13:27Speaker 4: get back into shape.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I almost passed out because I took too
- 13:31Speaker 5: much pre workout. I've done that a couple of times.
- 13:34Speaker 5: What's a pre work It's like a powder you put
- 13:36Speaker 5: into water, has caffeine other things in there to kind
- 13:38Speaker 5: of give you energy. But if you take too much
- 13:40Speaker 5: then it.
- 13:41Speaker 7: Can be bad.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Do you wipe down the machines? Absolutely? Yeah, you have to.
- 13:45Speaker 3: I mean that's an etiquette thing that's you have to
- 13:47Speaker 3: wipe it is. But I have a question for all
- 13:49Speaker 3: of you.
- 13:49Speaker 9: You know, they have the mats that you do stretching
- 13:52Speaker 9: on after you use the machines that you've wiped down.
- 13:55Speaker 9: I always noticed that not many people wipe the mat
- 13:58Speaker 9: down when they're done.
- 14:00Speaker 1: And if you think about it.
- 14:01Speaker 9: It's totally gross because you're already sweating and then you're
- 14:05Speaker 9: laying down on the mat and then you get up
- 14:07Speaker 9: and you leave, and then somebody else comes in and
- 14:08Speaker 9: they're laning.
- 14:09Speaker 1: It's like, so, how many people actually wipe down the mat?
- 14:13Speaker 10: You can?
- 14:13Speaker 3: You can actually see the sweat outline of their body?
- 14:16Speaker 9: You can't.
- 14:16Speaker 5: I've seen that before.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Even a better question, how many people wipe down the
- 14:21Speaker 4: seat at a spin class when they're done?
- 14:24Speaker 1: Well, you're supposed to.
- 14:25Speaker 3: I know you are supposed to. How many people do
- 14:27Speaker 3: you think too? Or we'll just get up and go.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Like the classes that I take.
- 14:31Speaker 5: I take spin classes and they have someone that comes
- 14:34Speaker 5: in and wipes them down, you have to worry about that.
- 14:36Speaker 3: That's a person that wipes at the plate drive.
- 14:39Speaker 5: That's in their job, tusk and yeah, yeah, you don't
- 14:41Speaker 5: wipe down your own machine.
- 14:42Speaker 11: There.
- 14:43Speaker 1: I appreciate it they do that, which is nice.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to know the last one? Yes one. Yeah,
- 14:49Speaker 3: it's a safe space here, right, it's just afore talking.
- 14:51Speaker 3: I say that all the time.
- 14:53Speaker 10: Yes.
- 14:54Speaker 5: So when I would be training, you know, say legs,
- 14:57Speaker 5: you know, and squatting heavy weight, I don't really swat
- 14:59Speaker 5: have anymore.
- 15:01Speaker 3: I had to work up part in his ZEB, and.
- 15:04Speaker 5: We found that when we were going for a heavy lift,
- 15:08Speaker 5: like very heavy okay, when I would go down and
- 15:12Speaker 5: now I'm giving.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Everything right, Yeah, this is like the toenail thing.
- 15:17Speaker 5: This is yeah, I mean hill. He talks about it too.
- 15:21Speaker 5: So when I go down for that last rap, he
- 15:24Speaker 5: would go down, he'd be spotting me. He'd squat down
- 15:26Speaker 5: behind me. Ah okay, And then when I get to
- 15:28Speaker 5: the bottom, as I'm gonna push up, he would blow
- 15:32Speaker 5: on my neck and the cold air or the air
- 15:36Speaker 5: on my neck would actually give me power to stand
- 15:39Speaker 5: back up. It's sound look at Riley's face. It sounds crazy,
- 15:43Speaker 5: but it worked.
- 15:44Speaker 4: This relationship that you have with Zeb's ultimately gonna go
- 15:50Speaker 4: to a very string.
- 15:51Speaker 5: It's just a fridh It's it's on the verge of madness.
- 15:55Speaker 5: It's it's about having an edge. That's all these things
- 15:58Speaker 5: are about, trying blows on.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Your neck and edge. I know it sounds crazy on
- 16:03Speaker 3: your neck.
- 16:04Speaker 5: No, we don't work out together as much anymore. I
- 16:06Speaker 5: don't do that heavyweight any longer.
- 16:08Speaker 3: And don't you play Ella Langley when you're trying to
- 16:10Speaker 3: get that.
- 16:11Speaker 9: Final p's that's okay, that's the new blowing on the neck.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Oh, come on baby.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a part in Choos in Texas at the end.
- 16:19Speaker 5: So if I'm listening to the song, I try to
- 16:21Speaker 5: time it to get to my you know, heavy rep
- 16:23Speaker 5: and come on, kiss me motivation.
- 16:26Speaker 3: You are so strange. But that's the topic right now,
- 16:31Speaker 3: that's what we want to talk about.
- 16:32Speaker 2: It's the number three moment because this is the best
- 16:34Speaker 2: Abillity and Lisa in the morning and we were talking
- 16:36Speaker 2: about weird things you do at the gym because Boston
- 16:40Speaker 2: was number ten on the list of the ten fittest cities.
- 16:45Speaker 1: But we were thinking it were so fit. Everybody's got
- 16:48Speaker 1: to be doing weird things at the gym.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Right Yeah.
- 16:50Speaker 5: People are dming me about the blowing story.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Oh yeah, blowing. I know it sounds weird.
- 16:56Speaker 5: It's just, uh, you know, when you're trying to push
- 16:59Speaker 5: your body to its absolute limit. Yeah, but he'll do anything.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Oh, he's a good friend.
- 17:03Speaker 3: He's a great friend. My friend, zeb's a great friend. Yeah.
- 17:05Speaker 5: If you missed it, you know, on a heavy squad,
- 17:07Speaker 5: he would blow on my neck like this went.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Down something else?
- 17:10Speaker 1: Does he do that with other men?
- 17:11Speaker 12: Not just me.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well it makes it even straight. We have
- 17:14Speaker 3: a bond. It's a friendship bond, that's what That's what
- 17:16Speaker 3: it is. No, can I ask you something about that? Sure?
- 17:22Speaker 4: At what point did zeb Be your friend come to
- 17:25Speaker 4: you and say, hey, okay, good question.
- 17:27Speaker 3: By the way, you know, when you get to.
- 17:29Speaker 4: That point when you want to do that final rep
- 17:30Speaker 4: and you're struggling to get the weight up, yeah, I'm
- 17:33Speaker 4: going to walk up behind you and blow on your neck.
- 17:35Speaker 3: He said that right to you.
- 17:37Speaker 5: No, he didn't. He didn't tell me he did. I
- 17:39Speaker 5: don't know how he thought about it, but he did
- 17:41Speaker 5: it without me knowing, and I felt it and didn't
- 17:43Speaker 5: know what it was. I felt cold air.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Did someone ever do it to him?
- 17:47Speaker 5: I'm not sure. I have to ask him. But when
- 17:49Speaker 5: I got up, he goes, did you fail that that air?
- 17:51Speaker 5: And I said yeah, and he goes, that was me
- 17:53Speaker 5: blowing on you. And I was very weird a out
- 17:54Speaker 5: buy it, but it helped me get the rep.
- 17:56Speaker 1: So can I just say one more thing about your friend?
- 17:58Speaker 1: Zeb Okay? Yeah, like really attractive, he's very fit.
- 18:02Speaker 3: I know that, you know what I mean.
- 18:03Speaker 5: He's like, Yeah, the ladies love him.
- 18:05Speaker 9: Right, So it's like that's kind of an interesting piece
- 18:09Speaker 9: of the story too, that, Yeah.
- 18:11Speaker 5: There are many females that would want him to blow
- 18:13Speaker 5: on them. Here he is blowing on me.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Yes, now I know it's really not about us. Can
- 18:17Speaker 4: I ask one more follow up the talk back? Would
- 18:20Speaker 4: you get upset if you found out that he's blowing
- 18:24Speaker 4: on other people's necks?
- 18:25Speaker 9: Not?
- 18:25Speaker 5: Not none whatsoever? Okay, he can blow on anybody, to
- 18:29Speaker 5: blow on you, They'll send him your way, okay, right.
- 18:31Speaker 13: Hey, good morning, morning crew. This one isn't so much
- 18:34Speaker 13: weird as it fascinates me. While I'm out doing my walk,
- 18:38Speaker 13: there's a young kid, probably in his twenties that literally,
- 18:42Speaker 13: at full speed runs backwards. Whoa and it does like
- 18:47Speaker 13: a three mile loop going backwards. I see him going
- 18:49Speaker 13: up and going back, never misses a beat. Have a
- 18:52Speaker 13: good day.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Yeah, that is so cool.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:55Speaker 4: They recommend that if you're doing distance running, if you're
- 18:58Speaker 4: training for marathons, they recommend to do and backwards running.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Does your son Dylan do brackworde running?
- 19:03Speaker 3: That he probably does? That's really hard, doesn't He probably
- 19:06Speaker 3: should start?
- 19:06Speaker 5: I didn't know that that was part of the training
- 19:08Speaker 5: for long distance I know it is for knee problems.
- 19:11Speaker 5: You have knee issues, running or even walking backwards can
- 19:14Speaker 5: be helpful.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Yeah, no way, So did you run backwards?
- 19:17Speaker 4: I did some? Yeah, But you know, like this guy
- 19:19Speaker 4: is totally into running backwards. If he's running long distance backwards,
- 19:23Speaker 4: that's another animal. But you know, to turn around occasionally
- 19:27Speaker 4: during a long run.
- 19:28Speaker 3: I have to start doing this.
- 19:29Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm telling you, because they're running double so you
- 19:32Speaker 4: need all of the muscles in your legs working if
- 19:34Speaker 4: you're running distance, so it's another set of muscles that
- 19:37Speaker 4: you're working.
- 19:37Speaker 10: There.
- 19:38Speaker 3: Anybody in the Milton area happens.
- 19:42Speaker 5: Running backwards in Melton, please take a video and send
- 19:45Speaker 5: it our way. Good morning, morning crew.
- 19:47Speaker 14: I've been doing a lot of running lately, five k
- 19:49Speaker 14: a day, and one practice that I do try to
- 19:54Speaker 14: at least try for half the run is I'll take
- 19:56Speaker 14: my shirt off and double it over, triple it over,
- 19:59Speaker 14: and I'll cover my face, nose and mouth to try
- 20:04Speaker 14: to do some oxygen deprivation.
- 20:06Speaker 3: Definitely get some looks. Have a great Thursday. What's the
- 20:11Speaker 3: point of that. I don't know.
- 20:13Speaker 5: Oxygen deprivation again, it's just it's there's some health benefit there.
- 20:18Speaker 1: I mean I used your stamina.
- 20:19Speaker 5: Yeah, like you know, I would take my mouth shut
- 20:21Speaker 5: so I'd breathe only through my nose. Yeah, makes it
- 20:24Speaker 5: a lot harder.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Okay.
- 20:25Speaker 15: You know what I can't figure out is why there's
- 20:28Speaker 15: this pajama theme trend. These kids working out in those
- 20:31Speaker 15: like pajamas that have like the I don't know, some
- 20:33Speaker 15: scene those pictures on the soft like pajama pants. I
- 20:37Speaker 15: feel like you know what I'm talking about. But it's
- 20:39Speaker 15: like sweating and working out in those is so gross.
- 20:41Speaker 15: And then we got kids working out in jeans. I
- 20:44Speaker 15: just don't get held at the thing. And then this
- 20:46Speaker 15: one's kind of weird, but like, what's up with young
- 20:49Speaker 15: girls now like not wearing like a thong if they
- 20:51Speaker 15: were underwear with their legs, they just like see the line,
- 20:53Speaker 15: it just looks like granny panties.
- 20:55Speaker 5: And I just look, that's a lot to unpacked.
- 20:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I well, yeah, the pajama thing, well that's a
- 21:03Speaker 3: young person. They wear them everywhere though.
- 21:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I have them on a playing Monster pajama pants
- 21:07Speaker 5: and the yeah for sure, Yeah.
- 21:10Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you'll see them on the plane all the
- 21:13Speaker 3: time at the airport. Yeah, slippers and like you know,
- 21:16Speaker 3: donkey pajamas or something.
- 21:18Speaker 5: We have talked about that before, about seeing the pajamas.
- 21:21Speaker 5: But yeah, listen, the gym is a wonderful place. It's
- 21:24Speaker 5: it really should be a judgment free zone, but you know,
- 21:26Speaker 5: you do see some weird stuff there.
- 21:28Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's I think it is a judgment free zone.
- 21:30Speaker 4: It's not like anybody says anything. You just kind of
- 21:32Speaker 4: give it a gaze and you're like, oh, oh that's interesting.
- 21:35Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you want to uplift people. That's important. You
- 21:38Speaker 5: want to support each other. If people want to be
- 21:40Speaker 5: weird like myself.
- 21:41Speaker 10: Let them hame Winning crew me, mom of two on
- 21:45Speaker 10: my way to work, shoving my face with each of
- 21:48Speaker 10: stuffed crystals.
- 21:49Speaker 3: And drinking my Linima poster blacke with a new.
- 21:54Speaker 10: Tella Coles foam, wondering how we could possibly.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Only be number ten.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Welcome back into the Best of Villion Lisa in the Morning.
- 22:02Speaker 2: It's producer Rally County down the top five moments of
- 22:05Speaker 2: the week with you and this is the number two moment.
- 22:08Speaker 2: But really number one and number two, we're both so good.
- 22:12Speaker 2: They're both number one in my mind. Mara Healy joined
- 22:15Speaker 2: us on the show to talk about a new legislation
- 22:18Speaker 2: she is passing that impacts everybody, especially concert lovers.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Good morning, Madam Governor.
- 22:26Speaker 10: Good morning, Billy.
- 22:28Speaker 3: I got to tell you how you're doing good. We're
- 22:30Speaker 3: doing good.
- 22:31Speaker 4: I got to tell you on behalf of concert lovers,
- 22:35Speaker 4: music lovers, sports fans, everybody, a large thank you for
- 22:40Speaker 4: getting involved in the scalping in the resale market yesterday.
- 22:44Speaker 10: Oh you're welcome, you know. I mean, look, we all
- 22:48Speaker 10: love music, we love going to see shows, we love
- 22:50Speaker 10: seeing our favorite artists. You know, whether it's a small venue.
- 22:53Speaker 10: I mean, I grew up as a conto with just
- 22:55Speaker 10: at Danton Beach Casinos seeing shows when I was younger,
- 22:58Speaker 10: to the amazing venue we had in Boston and Massachusetts.
- 23:02Speaker 10: This is just about making sure that people don't have
- 23:05Speaker 10: to continue to like hould their hair out, go online,
- 23:09Speaker 10: wait forever, you know, never be able to buy the
- 23:12Speaker 10: tickets and have that experience. Or if they buy the tickets,
- 23:15Speaker 10: I mean, they're just gouged so much and you shouldn't
- 23:18Speaker 10: have to, you know, pay a month's rent or worriage
- 23:20Speaker 10: your home to see some of these artists. Right, So
- 23:23Speaker 10: it's just about fairness and I want to change that
- 23:25Speaker 10: for folks in Massachusetts, have you ever been.
- 23:29Speaker 4: Gouged yourself for a ticket to sporting event or a concert?
- 23:33Speaker 10: I mean yeah, I mean I think all of us
- 23:35Speaker 10: have paid more than we'd liked to write. And because
- 23:37Speaker 10: you want to see you know, you want to see
- 23:39Speaker 10: a show, you want to see your artist. I've never
- 23:42Speaker 10: had the experience that I know some people have, which
- 23:45Speaker 10: I'm also looking to ban, which is ghost ticketing, speculative ticketing.
- 23:49Speaker 10: I mean we've heard, you know recently for example the
- 23:53Speaker 10: World Cup. We've also seen oh yeah, some of the
- 23:55Speaker 10: other shows. Right, you go online, you think you've bought
- 23:59Speaker 10: the ticket, and then you show up at the venue
- 24:01Speaker 10: only to find out the ticket was never transferred, it
- 24:04Speaker 10: never really existed. So you know, it's just fraud. It's predatory.
- 24:10Speaker 10: And I think what we're doing by proposing a cap
- 24:14Speaker 10: on resale value at one hundred and ten percent, so
- 24:17Speaker 10: you pay one hundred dollars a ticket for one hundred dollars,
- 24:20Speaker 10: it can only be resold for one hundred and ten dollars, okay.
- 24:25Speaker 10: And the service these which also really get you, also
- 24:31Speaker 10: are going to be capped at just ten percent. So
- 24:34Speaker 10: you know, these things I think should help and you know,
- 24:39Speaker 10: make a difference in terms of just making tickets more
- 24:41Speaker 10: available to you know, regular folks you can who want
- 24:47Speaker 10: to because right now it's it's all private equity companies
- 24:49Speaker 10: that run these major sale operations, right and you know,
- 24:53Speaker 10: it's only a lot of times it's just super wealthy
- 24:57Speaker 10: or people who are paying way more than you know,
- 25:00Speaker 10: can probably afford to get to a lot of these shows.
- 25:02Speaker 10: And we've got to change that.
- 25:04Speaker 3: It's kind of cool that you partnered with Noah Khan.
- 25:07Speaker 3: You know, I saw the red phone sitting.
- 25:09Speaker 4: There when you started the press conference and I said,
- 25:12Speaker 4: somebody's going to be calling in to the governor.
- 25:15Speaker 3: That was very cool.
- 25:17Speaker 10: Well, he is really cool. I mean, I'm a huge
- 25:20Speaker 10: Noah Khan fan. I love what he's done, especially around
- 25:23Speaker 10: mental health. He's a New England hero, right and you know,
- 25:28Speaker 10: we just we love his music, we love who he
- 25:30Speaker 10: is as a person. And one of the things that
- 25:33Speaker 10: I became aware of is that he's been this champion
- 25:35Speaker 10: for artists and for fans on this issue of ticket reselling.
- 25:41Speaker 10: And so he was in town last week, you know,
- 25:45Speaker 10: very fantastic four nights at Fenway, and we talked to
- 25:50Speaker 10: his team and talked to him, and you know, I
- 25:52Speaker 10: thought we could do something about this because he's been
- 25:54Speaker 10: talking about it, and so I said, let's go for it.
- 25:57Speaker 10: Let's let's make sure we take action here in massachus
- 26:00Speaker 10: And yeah, he's super guy and as I say, great
- 26:04Speaker 10: for fans and also great for artists. Yes, yes, well
- 26:07Speaker 10: protecting artists and I think that's important too.
- 26:10Speaker 3: And it's nice that you named the Great Divide to Act.
- 26:13Speaker 3: So what's next for the bill?
- 26:15Speaker 4: Uh?
- 26:17Speaker 2: Yep.
- 26:17Speaker 10: So look, as governor, I file this bill and then
- 26:20Speaker 10: I will work with the legislature and you know, folks
- 26:23Speaker 10: can can let it be known that they think this
- 26:25Speaker 10: is a good idea and we'll look to get this,
- 26:29Speaker 10: get this done and have you signed it into law,
- 26:31Speaker 10: and you know, implement it as soon as possible. So, yes,
- 26:34Speaker 10: I love Gracie Abrams when she comes. I want more
- 26:36Speaker 10: people to.
- 26:38Speaker 13: Year.
- 26:39Speaker 4: You're in March, right, Yeah, well, you know we'll see
- 26:42Speaker 4: what we can do to get you some Gracie Abrams tickets.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Listen, since we have you. Uh, this has been an
- 26:49Speaker 3: incredible couple.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Of months here in Massachusetts and in the Boston area
- 26:54Speaker 4: between the World Cup and Sale Boston, which just finished
- 26:59Speaker 4: a couple of days go on a personal level for
- 27:02Speaker 4: you as governor, What are your favorite memories from those experiences?
- 27:07Speaker 10: Well, no Scotland, no party, right, guys in Celts running
- 27:13Speaker 10: all over the city, drinking us out of our beer,
- 27:15Speaker 10: putting cones everywhere. I think the majesty of the tall ships.
- 27:20Speaker 10: For people who don't know, these are ships that come
- 27:23Speaker 10: from over fifty countries around the world. There are ships
- 27:26Speaker 10: that are a couple hundred years old. Even they sail
- 27:29Speaker 10: into Boston Harbor, they're on display with their crews. You've
- 27:33Speaker 10: seen a lot of sailors in downtown Boston if you're
- 27:38Speaker 10: around lately, and it's just a great chance. You know,
- 27:42Speaker 10: it was just really beautiful to see that image of
- 27:45Speaker 10: these ships coming into the harbor. I also think for
- 27:50Speaker 10: those who didn't see it, go back and even check
- 27:52Speaker 10: out the video. Are Boston Pop celebration on the Esplanage,
- 27:56Speaker 10: I thought, fantastic. Not just the fireworks, not just the pops.
- 28:00Speaker 10: We had great performers. We also had a drone show, incredible,
- 28:04Speaker 10: it was super cool. And you know, these are just
- 28:08Speaker 10: some of the some of the things. But I think
- 28:10Speaker 10: more than anything, Massachusetts showed who we are. Oh yeah,
- 28:14Speaker 10: you know, high energy, It was fun, it was saith Look.
- 28:17Speaker 10: As governor, I care a lot about public safety and
- 28:20Speaker 10: public transit. Everything worked really well, right. We had trains
- 28:24Speaker 10: down and back to Jillett that worked super well. We
- 28:27Speaker 10: had you know, really safe experiences in Boston and around
- 28:31Speaker 10: the state celebrating World Cup. And what I loved was
- 28:35Speaker 10: to see people hanging out with one another, right, Bostonians,
- 28:38Speaker 10: people from Massachusetts with people from all over the world,
- 28:41Speaker 10: different cultures, like having fun. And you know, we need
- 28:45Speaker 10: that joy, right, like we need that dibe and that energy.
- 28:48Speaker 10: And it was a chance to remember who we are
- 28:50Speaker 10: and what Massachusetts also brings to the world, like this
- 28:54Speaker 10: is who we are, this is the kind of people
- 28:56Speaker 10: we are.
- 28:56Speaker 4: I love that you said that because I remember a
- 28:59Speaker 4: specific moment. I was walking the streets of Boston with
- 29:02Speaker 4: my wife Michelle. It was a beautiful weekend and the
- 29:04Speaker 4: Scots were in and the Vikings were in, and the.
- 29:07Speaker 3: Streets were crowded with people and it just felt so good.
- 29:11Speaker 3: It just seemed like it put a smile on everybody's face.
- 29:15Speaker 10: It did, And then we were able to do some
- 29:17Speaker 10: things that you know, I want to support permanently, extending
- 29:20Speaker 10: bar hours right for bars and restaurants allowing people you
- 29:24Speaker 10: know to be in certain outside areas right with the
- 29:30Speaker 10: outdoor bar space or you know block space on streets.
- 29:33Speaker 10: And you know these are good innovations. You know, I think,
- 29:37Speaker 10: look life hard, right, Like I'm working every day to
- 29:39Speaker 10: try to lower housing costs, lower healthcare cost lower gas
- 29:42Speaker 10: and electric bills. Right, it's my job as governor and
- 29:44Speaker 10: to try to drive our economy and creat jobs. And
- 29:47Speaker 10: also you know, it's important that we find opportunities for
- 29:51Speaker 10: people to have fun and enjoy life, you know here
- 29:54Speaker 10: in Greater Boston, in our state, and you know it's important.
- 29:58Speaker 10: It's important as well.
- 29:59Speaker 4: Well, you had a special visitor yesterday. You got to
- 30:02Speaker 4: meet the traffic cone from Scotland.
- 30:06Speaker 10: You know, I'm used to welcoming like we're in dignitaries
- 30:11Speaker 10: and had estates and all this thing. But the other day,
- 30:14Speaker 10: in fact, got to welcome an orange traffic cone. It's
- 30:18Speaker 10: the Logan Airport. Now, this, of course was a cone
- 30:21Speaker 10: that was presented to me in the mayor by these
- 30:25Speaker 10: couple of guys from Scotland. And they're taking this cone

- 34:07Speaker 2: then here in the Kiss one of weight studios.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the Scots were here. All two of them

- 34:32Speaker 3: It's amazing.
- 34:33Speaker 4: Justin hit the No Scotland, No Army, and you guys
- 34:36Speaker 4: were jumping immediately immediately.
- 34:39Speaker 3: It's good for the.
- 34:39Speaker 7: Soul, that song. It's good for the soul.
- 34:41Speaker 4: It really is. There are so many layers to this
- 34:43Speaker 4: story with the Cone, the traffic Cone. First of all,
- 34:47Speaker 4: on the plane, we were talking off the air, and
- 34:49Speaker 4: the minute I saw the first post of the Cone
- 34:51Speaker 4: making its way to.
- 34:52Speaker 3: Boston, I'm thinking, who bought the seat on the plane?
- 34:57Speaker 3: Now the Cone flew first class, right it did? Delta
- 35:01Speaker 3: soldiers out on that one.
- 35:02Speaker 7: Yeah, they put the Con in first class.
- 35:04Speaker 16: We're getting used to this because the Cone seems to
- 35:06Speaker 16: go first class everywhere.
- 35:07Speaker 7: Oh, everyone puts us in the coach. So yeah, we
- 35:10Speaker 7: were in coach and the Cone was in first class.
- 35:12Speaker 3: And it doesn't hurt you guys that you're with the Cone. No,
- 35:15Speaker 3: because the Cone is a shot of the show.
- 35:17Speaker 17: Yeah, we've gone to accept but nothing without the cone.
- 35:19Speaker 3: Actually, we walk.
- 35:19Speaker 16: Into the room and everybody goes cones here, Oh my god,
- 35:24Speaker 16: do you sleep with it at night? And then yeah,
- 35:25Speaker 16: well it kind of comes. It comes in, it stays
- 35:27Speaker 16: in my room. Usually it's on the floor. Actually, yeah,
- 35:31Speaker 16: I've been sleeping in the bath and the con has so.
- 35:34Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's so funny a couple of minutes
- 35:36Speaker 4: ago what you said, because jokingly on the show a
- 35:39Speaker 4: couple of days ago, when we realized you guys are
- 35:41Speaker 4: coming in and the cone. We didn't know at that
- 35:44Speaker 4: point whether or not the Cone was coming, and I
- 35:47Speaker 4: jokingly said, well, if the Cone's not coming, who are they?
- 35:52Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly, I mean we are nothing without the Consel.
- 35:56Speaker 16: I've actually been carrying it on my hip all around
- 35:59Speaker 16: Boston and I feel like.
- 36:00Speaker 7: It's a child now, it's like a second child.
- 36:03Speaker 4: Now justin You may not be aware of this, but
- 36:05Speaker 4: listen and I were talking off the year with Janny
- 36:07Speaker 4: and Andy, and this is one of the funniest part
- 36:09Speaker 4: of this thing with the Cone. You guys all the
- 36:12Speaker 4: way from Scotland, but you were not a part of
- 36:16Speaker 4: the Tartan Army during the World Cup.
- 36:18Speaker 3: You weren't even here.
- 36:19Speaker 16: No, So we were watching on our feed from Scotland.
- 36:22Speaker 16: So I run a creative agency in Scotland and I
- 36:25Speaker 16: was sitting and every single video on my feed was
- 36:27Speaker 16: like Giovanni, you know it's all army, yeah, and everyone
- 36:32Speaker 16: was like having so much fun and there was so
- 36:34Speaker 16: much joy emitting from my phone and I was like,
- 36:36Speaker 16: I watched every one of my friends going I'm going
- 36:39Speaker 16: to Boston.
- 36:39Speaker 7: I'm going to Boston. I'm going to Boston.
- 36:41Speaker 16: And so I phoned Danny and I said, like, we
- 36:43Speaker 16: need to figure out how to get to Boston. So
- 36:46Speaker 16: next minute, we got this cone and we got a
- 36:48Speaker 16: famous artist in Scotland called Rob Johnson.
- 36:51Speaker 7: And I said, could you doodle all these little things
- 36:54Speaker 7: on the cone?
- 36:55Speaker 3: And we took the.
- 36:56Speaker 16: Cone to the Chamber of Commerce, the chief executive of
- 36:59Speaker 16: the Chamber of Commerce in Glasgow, and we asked him
- 37:01Speaker 16: could you sign this cone? And we made this really
- 37:04Speaker 16: funny video and it went like I don't know, like
- 37:06Speaker 16: one point five million views.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Wow.
- 37:08Speaker 1: And then you and then you contacted Governor Heal.
- 37:12Speaker 7: Like, well they reached out to us.
- 37:14Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they be to the governor.
- 37:16Speaker 17: This is the thing because that into football soccer. That's
- 37:19Speaker 17: what I was going to get right Andrews magic, and.
- 37:23Speaker 3: They said, we don't even like soccer, Well neither.
- 37:30Speaker 7: It was like we've just grown up.
- 37:31Speaker 16: Like I was playing in bands when I was young.
- 37:33Speaker 16: I'm a close up magician. I'm a creative guy. So
- 37:36Speaker 16: I've just never liked. My brother my dad were in
- 37:39Speaker 16: the football and soccer, but I've never been into it.
- 37:41Speaker 16: But what's been amazing and what's really come out of
- 37:43Speaker 16: this is that it's been so much more than the football. Actually,
- 37:47Speaker 16: it's the joy that's come out of it, and that's
- 37:49Speaker 16: what's been and that's what we're trying to lean into.
- 37:51Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's the message of the Code really.
- 37:52Speaker 7: It's all about connection.
- 37:54Speaker 17: It's about humans coming together with humor and love and openness,
- 37:58Speaker 17: and that's why we're raising money to being awareness around
- 38:00Speaker 17: mental health as well.
- 38:01Speaker 7: So there's a really strong.
- 38:03Speaker 3: Meaning for this cone. It's way more than gimmick or
- 38:06Speaker 3: somebody to do with football.
- 38:07Speaker 1: And you can follow the cone, right you guys.
- 38:08Speaker 16: Oh yeah, we know. There's a tracker in that cone
- 38:11Speaker 16: and if you go to Boston Code dot com you

- 38:15Speaker 16: to all the all the best parts of Boston and
- 38:18Speaker 16: there's been people coming finding us and yeah, everywhere we go.
