- 0:52Speaker 4: To die on.
- 0:52Speaker 5: Here are the most common ones. And I want you
- 0:55Speaker 5: guys to to check. Give us your idea. Pineapple absolutely
- 0:59Speaker 5: belongs on pizza.
- 1:01Speaker 1: That's a big one.
- 1:02Speaker 4: Disagree.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:03Speaker 6: I'll die on that hill. It never belongs.
- 1:08Speaker 4: On pizza. You die on the hill that it does.
- 1:11Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:11Speaker 8: All right.
- 1:11Speaker 1: A hot dog is a sandwich. What do you think?
- 1:14Speaker 9: No.
- 1:15Speaker 6: No.
- 1:16Speaker 4: It's a dog, man. People die on that hill.
- 1:18Speaker 1: They die on that hill.
- 1:19Speaker 4: A sandwich?
- 1:21Speaker 1: Cold pizza is better than reheated pizza.
- 1:25Speaker 4: I'll take it either way. I love cold pizza, but
- 1:27Speaker 4: I also love reheated.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I love cold pizza.
- 1:29Speaker 4: Better than hot and fresh?
- 1:31Speaker 1: No, hot and.
- 1:32Speaker 5: Fresh, but like the day after, I'd prefer cold rather
- 1:35Speaker 5: than reheated.
- 1:36Speaker 4: Depends on the pizza. Okay. Yeah, some better cold, some not.
- 1:41Speaker 5: Okay, Christmas music before December is acceptable.
- 1:47Speaker 4: Okay, I'll allow it. Okay. I won't die on the
- 1:50Speaker 4: hill over it, but it doesn't really bother me one
- 1:53Speaker 4: way or the other. It doesn't bother me. It doesn't
- 1:54Speaker 4: bother me.
- 1:55Speaker 1: The corner brownie is the best brownie. I totally agree
- 1:58Speaker 1: with that.
- 1:59Speaker 4: I'm going to have to go with that.
- 2:00Speaker 6: I'm all about corners, even if it's a tray of
- 2:02Speaker 6: square pizza, Sicilian pizza, you got to have the corner piece.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Oh, here's a good one.
- 2:08Speaker 5: The passenger should automatically control the music.
- 2:13Speaker 4: No. No, no, no.
- 2:15Speaker 9: No.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Who wrote that? I don't know. No way. No way.
- 2:19Speaker 4: My wife is the worst. I love her. She is
- 2:21Speaker 4: the worst DJ. She does not let the songs finish.
- 2:24Speaker 4: She plays two seconds of it and then next song.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Just clicks it off?
- 2:28Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Oh, God. She does it all the time. She never
- 2:31Speaker 4: controls the aux. Nope. Shut off.
- 2:33Speaker 10: Okay.
- 2:33Speaker 6: All right. I saw one on there that I disagree with.
- 2:37Speaker 6: The person sitting in the middle on a plane does
- 2:40Speaker 6: not get both armrests.
- 2:42Speaker 1: This is the middle seat gets both armrests.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Really?
- 2:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think so either.
- 2:47Speaker 4: No, I don't think so either.
- 2:49Speaker 1: You got to be mindful.
- 2:50Speaker 4: I want to hear from people that any of these
- 2:53Speaker 4: that we listed that we are against that you would
- 2:56Speaker 4: die on a hill. I want to hear from those people.
- 2:58Speaker 6: You'll probably get a lot of pineapple on pizza.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Here's a good one because I was just on a
- 3:03Speaker 5: plane yesterday.
- 3:04Speaker 1: You should never clap when a plane lands.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I never understood that either. OK, I actually have
- 3:09Speaker 4: a question about that. So is it only if you
- 3:12Speaker 4: fly out of country like overseas that they do that?
- 3:14Speaker 5: Well, because it's a longer flight and they've never clapped
- 3:18Speaker 5: on a flight somewhere in the US that I've been
- 3:21Speaker 5: on only when we've.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Gone to like Aruba.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I agree with you. Like last time we came back
- 3:25Speaker 1: from Vegas, no one clapped when we landed.
- 3:27Speaker 6: I think it's if you had severe turbulence or something
- 3:30Speaker 6: and you landed, then you're going to clap when you
- 3:32Speaker 6: when you hit the ground.
- 3:33Speaker 4: What about clap at the end of movies in the theaters? Oh, no.
- 3:37Speaker 4: You just get up and leave. You're not a clapper
- 3:39Speaker 4: at the movies.
- 3:40Speaker 6: No.
- 3:41Speaker 9: OK.
- 3:41Speaker 4: All right.
- 3:42Speaker 5: Here's a big one that we've talked about on the show.
- 3:46Speaker 1: You should wash your legs in the shower.
- 3:48Speaker 10: Oh, boy.
- 3:49Speaker 4: Oh, I'll die on this hill. It's a sensitive topic.
- 3:52Speaker 4: I'll die on this hill. Justin does not.
- 3:54Speaker 9: Yes.
- 3:54Speaker 8: Yes.
- 3:56Speaker 4: I will die on the hill that I do not
- 3:58Speaker 4: wash my legs every time I take a shower. If
- 4:01Speaker 4: I work out, sure. If I'm sweating, sure. If I
- 4:04Speaker 4: didn't do anything that day, the soap just runs down
- 4:07Speaker 4: my legs.
- 4:07Speaker 6: So you're relying on the dirty water floating down your legs.
- 4:10Speaker 4: Well, there's soap involved, so it works for me. Wow.
- 4:13Speaker 4: I want to die on the opposite hill. So let
- 4:16Speaker 4: me ask you this. You bend down every single time
- 4:20Speaker 4: and scrub your legs.
- 4:21Speaker 6: I bring the leg up one at a time and
- 4:23Speaker 6: all the way down around the bottom of the foot.
- 4:26Speaker 6: Nice and soapy. You got to get the feet. You
- 4:28Speaker 6: got to get between the toes. And yeah, every time.
- 4:31Speaker 5: And I do, too, because I shave my legs every
- 4:33Speaker 5: single day with soap and water.
- 4:35Speaker 1: So I'm always washing my legs.
- 4:36Speaker 4: That makes sense.
- 4:37Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 4:37Speaker 4: You're in the minority, dude. Producer Riley, do you wash
- 4:40Speaker 4: your legs every time you take a shower?
- 4:42Speaker 11: No.
- 4:43Speaker 12: See?
- 4:43Speaker 4: Here we go. Honesty. Although I do believe you, Billy
- 4:46Speaker 4: and Lisa. I believe you guys. Yeah, I do, too.
- 4:48Speaker 4: But I think people lie about that.
- 4:49Speaker 2: If I'm taking a quick shower where I'm like washing
- 4:51Speaker 2: my hair and then I just got to get out.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I'm washing other things, but I'm not bending. It's trickle.
- 4:56Speaker 1: You're the trickle down theory.
- 4:58Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Okay. I have another one that I will, the hill
- 5:02Speaker 4: that I will die on. Every people like to hate
- 5:05Speaker 4: on Nickelback, right? That's like the internet thing. I like Nickelback.
- 5:11Speaker 4: So do I.
- 5:11Speaker 6: I love Nickelback.
- 5:12Speaker 4: I think their music is good. When it comes on,
- 5:15Speaker 4: I like it, and I will die on that hill.
- 5:17Speaker 4: I never understood the people that didn't like Nickelback. It's
- 5:19Speaker 4: an internet meme. It's like a joke thing, but if
- 5:23Speaker 4: their song comes on, I'm jamming to it.
- 5:31Speaker 12: Right?
- 5:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:31Speaker 4: That's a jam. I'll dial. I'll dial.
- 5:33Speaker 5: I have one that I'd like to throw into the
- 5:35Speaker 5: mix here. Drinking tap water is perfectly acceptable.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Everywhere you go, just drink. Ask for a glass of
- 5:42Speaker 1: tap water.
- 5:43Speaker 6: Oh, when they come around to the table with the attitude.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:46Speaker 4: With the bottled water.
- 5:47Speaker 6: And that somebody wants a bottle, a gallon bottle of sparkling.
- 5:50Speaker 4: No, I'll just have tap water. Thank you very much.
- 5:52Speaker 1: And I will die on that hill. Tap water is
- 5:55Speaker 1: perfectly acceptable.
- 5:56Speaker 4: Okay. I like sparkling.
- 5:58Speaker 6: Okay.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Oh, you're the person that says I'll take sparkling. I
- 6:01Speaker 4: like sparkling.
- 6:02Speaker 6: And then he brings a giant jug of sparkling water
- 6:05Speaker 6: for $ 25. Yes.
- 6:05Speaker 5: Wow.
- 6:06Speaker 4: That's just what I prefer. Producer Riley, you have a
- 6:10Speaker 4: hill you'll die on?
- 6:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that it's perfectly fine to sleep with
- 6:14Speaker 2: socks on.
- 6:15Speaker 3: And people do not like that.
- 6:17Speaker 2: They feel very strongly about the fact that they cannot
- 6:19Speaker 2: sleep with socks.
- 6:21Speaker 3: I like it. If my feet are cold, I'm not
- 6:22Speaker 3: going to be able to fall asleep, so I'm putting
- 6:24Speaker 3: socks on.
- 6:24Speaker 5: It's actually a sleep hack. Now, they tell you to
- 6:26Speaker 5: put socks on if you want to get a better
- 6:28Speaker 5: night's sleep.
- 6:29Speaker 6: Really?
- 6:30Speaker 5: Yes.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Never. It's criminal.
- 6:31Speaker 6: And since Justin and you, Riley, don't wash your legs
- 6:34Speaker 6: and feet, I'm thinking you should have the socks on.
- 6:37Speaker 4: Especially if you're not alone in bed. All right. I'm
- 6:41Speaker 4: just saying.
- 6:42Speaker 10: Oh, God.
- 6:43Speaker 6: There's one more here that I want to get in on.
- 6:44Speaker 6: It says a bed without a top sheet is superior.
- 6:47Speaker 4: I disagree.
- 6:48Speaker 6: I won't get in a bed without a top sheet.
- 6:50Speaker 4: Oh, I don't. I don't.
- 6:51Speaker 2: I don't.
- 6:51Speaker 4: I ripped that right off. Me too. Oh, yeah.
- 6:54Speaker 2: What?
- 6:54Speaker 4: It comes off.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Oh, I like a top sheet.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. No.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Really?
- 6:59Speaker 4: I'll die on that hill.
- 7:00Speaker 6: I want the sheet and then the blanket. I want
- 7:02Speaker 6: a sheet over me and under me.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Okay. What about the tuck? You leave it tucked? You
- 7:07Speaker 4: go to a hotel room?
- 7:08Speaker 1: No, I untuck it.
- 7:09Speaker 4: I untuck it.
- 7:10Speaker 5: No, we untucked it because you feel like you're like
- 7:12Speaker 5: too claustrophobic.
- 7:13Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
- 7:13Speaker 6: You pull the side off.
- 7:14Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:14Speaker 6: But I leave the bottom tucked. Yeah.
- 7:16Speaker 4: Wait, so your feet can't stick out from the bottom?
- 7:19Speaker 2: Never.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Oh, you leave it tucked in?
- 7:21Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Oh.
- 7:22Speaker 4: I do, too.
- 7:23Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Well, unlike you guys, my feet don't smell.
- 7:26Speaker 1: They need to air it out a little bit.
- 7:32Speaker 4: The socks in bed bothered me so much because my wife,
- 7:35Speaker 4: when we first started dating, wore socks. It bothered me
- 7:38Speaker 4: so much that she eventually took them off. Now she
- 7:40Speaker 4: sleeps in no socks.
- 7:41Speaker 6: There you go.
- 7:42Speaker 4: You won that war. I want my feet to rub together.
- 7:44Speaker 1: It's a sensory thing.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't want to rub against your socks. Right.
- 7:48Speaker 6: You want to touch the feet.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 7:49Speaker 7: Your feet.
- 7:50Speaker 13: From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios, we're back with
- 7:54Speaker 13: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Good morning, guys.
- 7:57Speaker 2: It's the Billy and Lisa show. I'm producer Riley alongside, well, Billy,
- 8:01Speaker 2: Lisa and Justin. Just a couple of minutes ago, we
- 8:04Speaker 2: were talking about hills that you are willing to die
- 8:06Speaker 2: on because it is that serious.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Erica, you got to tell us yours.
- 8:11Speaker 14: I absolutely have to have the toilet paper roll on top.
- 8:14Speaker 6: Yes.
- 8:14Speaker 15: I will change it at other people's houses.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Yep, as do I.
- 8:17Speaker 6: Thank you for that, Erica. I would die on that hill.
- 8:20Speaker 6: It's got a roll over the top. We're not going
- 8:22Speaker 6: underneath with the toilet paper roll, okay?
- 8:26Speaker 12: Thanks, guys.
- 8:27Speaker 4: Love the show.
- 8:28Speaker 6: Oh, thanks.
- 8:28Speaker 4: She's all business.
- 8:29Speaker 6: Hey.
- 8:30Speaker 4: Well, she had a message. You know what? She died
- 8:32Speaker 4: on the hill.
- 8:38Speaker 6: I've got another one. If you're out walking or jogging,
- 8:42Speaker 6: and somebody's coming up from behind on one.
- 8:45Speaker 4: Of those goofy scooters or even a bicycle, just say,
- 8:50Speaker 4: coming up on the left, on the left or on
- 8:53Speaker 4: the right. Don't just appear out of nowhere. Or hit
- 8:56Speaker 4: the horn. Some of them have horns.
- 8:58Speaker 6: Yeah, even a goofy little bell.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Yeah, just let people know. Let me know you're there. Yeah. Yeah,
- 9:04Speaker 4: you should definitely give a heads up. Yeah. Especially on
- 9:06Speaker 4: the scooters because... And they're electric. You don't hear them.
- 9:09Speaker 4: You don't hear them. They come up quick alongside you.
- 9:11Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 9:11Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Good morning.
- 9:12Speaker 1: This is Em from Ashby. I will die on the
- 9:16Speaker 1: hill of you do not wash your hair every day.
- 9:20Speaker 11: A lot of people are like, oh my God, that's gross.
- 9:24Speaker 4: But I'm like, no, it's not gross.
- 9:27Speaker 11: Like I probably wash my hair like once every maybe
- 9:30Speaker 11: three or four days.
- 9:31Speaker 4: So anyway, yes, I will die on that hill. Thank you.
- 9:37Speaker 4: I use Helvera, sorry.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with her. You shouldn't wash your hair
- 9:42Speaker 1: every day.
- 9:43Speaker 4: As a female or a male too?
- 9:45Speaker 1: As a female.
- 9:45Speaker 7: Okay.
- 9:46Speaker 1: It's just better for your hair.
- 9:47Speaker 4: It's weird. I don't wash my legs every day, but
- 9:49Speaker 4: I wash my hair every day.
- 9:51Speaker 6: Yeah, me too.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Well, you have short hair.
- 9:52Speaker 2: It's different.
- 9:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 9:54Speaker 11: As a teacher of young elementary school kids, I will
- 9:57Speaker 11: die on the hill that the alphabet is arbitrary.
- 10:01Speaker 1: It's more important to know the order of the keys
- 10:03Speaker 1: on the keyboard because that's.
- 10:05Speaker 2: The skill you need than it is to be able
- 10:08Speaker 2: to alphabetize.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Things these days. I think they should start with learning
- 10:12Speaker 1: the order of the keyboard.
- 10:15Speaker 4: OK, I agree with the alphabet.
- 10:17Speaker 1: I don't I don't agree with that.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Well, she's saying that they should focus more on the keyboard. Well,
- 10:21Speaker 4: I think learning the keyboard.
- 10:22Speaker 1: She's right. I mean, that's like a fact of life now,
- 10:25Speaker 1: but I think they should.
- 10:26Speaker 5: Still teach the alphabet ABCs at the same time as
- 10:29Speaker 5: learning the keyboard.
- 10:30Speaker 4: Yeah. But you got to you know, you don't want
- 10:32Speaker 4: to be like Bill.
- 10:33Speaker 6: Right.
- 10:33Speaker 4: When Bill types, it's his two pointer fingers. And he's
- 10:36Speaker 4: like two.
- 10:38Speaker 6: That is so inaccurate.
- 10:40Speaker 4: At least every morning.
- 10:41Speaker 6: Oh, my God. I use all of my fingers. I
- 10:43Speaker 6: just don't use the home rows precisely. Lisa types with
- 10:47Speaker 6: one finger.
- 10:48Speaker 5: I never learned how to type. It was never offered
- 10:51Speaker 5: to me. I had to teach myself.
- 10:53Speaker 6: I did three years of typing.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it was never in my school system.
- 10:57Speaker 14: Oh, okay.
- 10:59Speaker 4: Who are you looking at? I've never used one finger
- 11:01Speaker 4: in my life. Lisa. Like an attack dog. Yeah, he does.
- 11:05Speaker 4: With the fingers. You know what? I'll die on that hill.
- 11:13Speaker 11: Hey, it's Sarah from Maine, and the hill that I
- 11:15Speaker 11: have to die on every single year is that we
- 11:17Speaker 11: should not have pumpkin spice come out in August.
- 11:20Speaker 4: It's too soon. It's too soon.
- 11:22Speaker 11: We literally wait all year for the best summer weather
- 11:27Speaker 11: at the end of August, beginning of September, and people
- 11:29Speaker 11: want to rush fall with their pumpkin spice and their
- 11:32Speaker 11: pumpkin beer and their fall foliage and this and that
- 11:36Speaker 11: when we don't even have fall foliage until the beginning
- 11:38Speaker 11: of October, and I just want fall to wait and
- 11:42Speaker 11: pumpkin spice to wait.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Sarah Femain, I agree with you.
- 11:46Speaker 6: I'm with her on the pumpkin spice. I don't understand
- 11:48Speaker 6: pumpkin spice to begin with.
- 11:50Speaker 4: It's delicious, but it's earlier and earlier.
- 11:52Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 11:53Speaker 4: It's August. You're seeing pumpkin spice. Well, Dunkin's already running
- 11:56Speaker 4: the commercials. Oh, it's started. The Spice Girls. It started
- 11:59Speaker 4: in August. I don't mind it. I mean, I don't
- 12:02Speaker 4: really drink it that often, but it doesn't really bother me.
- 12:05Speaker 1: What about ketchup does not belong on eggs?
- 12:09Speaker 12: Ooh.
- 12:09Speaker 1: That's a big die on this hill topic.
- 12:12Speaker 4: That does not belong on eggs.
- 12:13Speaker 1: That does not belong on eggs.
- 12:15Speaker 4: I agree with that.
- 12:16Speaker 6: Oh, I can go either way with that.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Occasionally, I like ketchup with my scrambled eggs. How about
- 12:19Speaker 4: hot sauce?
- 12:19Speaker 1: Is that in the ketchup family? Is that considered ketchup?
- 12:23Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of people like hot sauce on scrambled eggs.
- 12:25Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good. I don't like the way it looks,
- 12:27Speaker 4: the ketchup on the eggs. It's all messy.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very messy.
- 12:31Speaker 14: Clapping on a plane when you land is.
- 12:38Speaker 14: The strangest thing I've ever experienced. A thousand years ago,
- 12:42Speaker 14: flew to Eastern Europe, not sure every day, spot, plane landed,
- 12:50Speaker 14: everybody clapped. I was like, Is this considered a performance.
- 12:56Speaker 4: In the U.S.? It is weird. It is weird.
- 13:00Speaker 6: I never understood it.
- 13:02Speaker 4: Unless it was severe turbulence. I can see that.
- 13:05Speaker 6: And you just made it. You feel like, oh, my God.
- 13:08Speaker 5: I've seen people like when you arrive in Aruba. Like
- 13:11Speaker 5: everyone claps because they're.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Happy to be there.
- 13:13Speaker 4: Yeah, they did. And there was no turbulence. It was
- 13:16Speaker 4: a smooth flight.
- 13:16Speaker 6: Aruba, they're drinking on the plane.
- 13:20Speaker 4: Because they're charter planes.
- 13:22Speaker 6: Aruba vacation goers bring a cooler to the plane.
- 13:26Speaker 4: I mean, I was happy to land, but not happy
- 13:28Speaker 4: enough to clap. Nope.
- 13:30Speaker 9: The passenger in a car is like a co-pilot, so
- 13:34Speaker 9: you should be doing everything, like doing the radio.
- 13:38Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, this was that the passenger doesn't control the radio.
- 13:41Speaker 9: Doing her telephone for her, lighting her cigarette, or lighting
- 13:45Speaker 9: whatever else she smokes.
- 13:46Speaker 4: What? What?
- 13:47Speaker 6: Who's lighting up in the car?
- 13:50Speaker 4: My mother-in-law? Still in school.
- 13:51Speaker 9: Fixing her drink, like opening a soda or getting her water.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Anything she needs.
- 13:57Speaker 6: You're right.
- 13:59Speaker 4: Drinking and smoking in the car.
- 14:01Speaker 9: Wow.
- 14:03Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
- 14:04Speaker 4: What do you do after that?
- 14:06Speaker 14: Now I just flick them out the window.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, there she does.
- 14:12Speaker 13: From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios, we're back with
- 14:16Speaker 13: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Welcome back into the Billy and Lisa show.
- 14:20Speaker 2: It's producer Riley here, of course, next to Billy, Lisa
- 14:23Speaker 2: and Justin. We are going to give away some Jingle
- 14:26Speaker 2: Ball tickets right now. All you got to do is
- 14:28Speaker 2: be caller 25 and know the keyword, which is actually
- 14:32Speaker 2: going to be a key phrase today. And it is
- 14:34Speaker 2: holiday party because Jingle Ball is the biggest holiday party
- 14:38Speaker 2: in Boston. So while we wait for caller 25, we
- 14:42Speaker 2: have two of our former interns in studio, Ted and Brad,
- 14:46Speaker 2: the recipients of many pranks.
- 14:49Speaker 4: I don't even know where to begin.
- 14:50Speaker 6: We're laughing hysterically in the studio, and we haven't even
- 14:53Speaker 6: started the segment. So over the years on The Morning Show,
- 14:58Speaker 6: we've had a history of interns, a long line of interns,
- 15:01Speaker 6: most of whom have done really well in life. I mean,
- 15:05Speaker 6: my niece Gina is like a higher up in iHeart worldwide.
- 15:09Speaker 6: She works out of the New York office. She was
- 15:11Speaker 6: an intern here. My son Chris was an intern here. Randy,
- 15:15Speaker 6: who's one of the owners of Big Night Live, was
- 15:17Speaker 6: one of our Morning Show interns. I could go on
- 15:20Speaker 6: and on and on. But anyway, two of our former
- 15:23Speaker 6: interns are sitting in the studio with us right now.
- 15:26Speaker 6: And recently, I think when we first started the show, right, Lisa?
- 15:29Speaker 2: Yes.
- 15:29Speaker 4: We had a whole series called Return of the Interns.
- 15:32Speaker 5: And it was summertime. And we loved bringing everyone back
- 15:35Speaker 5: because you're right. This was such a launch pad for
- 15:38Speaker 5: so many people.
- 15:39Speaker 6: Uh-huh. And we've got two of the interns returning. I think, again,
- 15:43Speaker 6: did you guys come in? I know you did, Ted.
- 15:45Speaker 4: But Brad?
- 15:46Speaker 6: Yep.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Yeah, we came for the intern return.
- 15:48Speaker 6: Okay, so Brad and Ted were interns for a while, right?
- 15:53Speaker 6: In fact, Ted, you eventually became a producer. You were
- 15:56Speaker 6: working the board for the morning show. Somehow I was.
- 16:00Speaker 4: Okay, so we happened to notice recently, we saw.
- 16:05Speaker 6: Brad, written up in a big way, his company is
- 16:07Speaker 6: like a gigantic company, and you've had a couple of
- 16:09Speaker 6: other companies. And Ted, obviously, doing very well.
- 16:12Speaker 4: Katsarub is Fruit and Produce. Your trucks are everywhere. Everywhere.
- 16:16Speaker 6: You just told us off the air, you get your
- 16:18Speaker 6: trucks off and running at 3 a.m.
- 16:20Speaker 4: Every day? Everyone's gone by 3 a.m.
- 16:22Speaker 6: Yeah. And you're all about produce. How are the prices,
- 16:25Speaker 6: by the way?
- 16:26Speaker 4: They're up. Apples and turnips.
- 16:28Speaker 1: And it's expensive.
- 16:29Speaker 6: It's very expensive.
- 16:30Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay.
- 16:31Speaker 6: So I want to relive, before we get into your companies,
- 16:33Speaker 6: because this is a very cool story. You were best
- 16:35Speaker 6: friends on the show. You've remained best friends all this time.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:40Speaker 6: And now you each have your own companies, and now
- 16:42Speaker 6: you're doing business together.
- 16:44Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 16:45Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:45Speaker 4: Okay.
- 16:46Speaker 6: First of all, Brad, what is your company? It's so
- 16:49Speaker 6: far above my pay grade. I can't even understand what
- 16:52Speaker 6: it is you're doing.
- 16:53Speaker 10: Yeah, so the company is called Morrissey Market. So the
- 16:56Speaker 10: best way to think about us is the CVS of food.
- 17:00Speaker 10: So what we're looking and what we've built is the
- 17:02Speaker 10: fulfillment layer for prescribed nutrition.
- 17:06Speaker 4: So when you.
- 17:06Speaker 10: Think about the movement of food as medicine, that's where
- 17:09Speaker 10: we live.
- 17:10Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 17:11Speaker 10: If you think about what's happened over the last 20 years,
- 17:14Speaker 10: we've kind of had the wave of like better health
- 17:15Speaker 10: through chemistry.
- 17:17Speaker 4: We've all been there. But when it comes back down
- 17:20Speaker 4: to it, it's pretty straightforward. It's eat, sleep, exercise to
- 17:23Speaker 4: be healthy.
- 17:24Speaker 10: And what we didn't have was the infrastructure to run
- 17:27Speaker 10: fulfillment for nutrition the same way you do for pharmaceuticals.
- 17:30Speaker 4: So we decided to build that.
- 17:32Speaker 6: OK, I got to stop you right there, because my
- 17:36Speaker 6: mind is going crazy. I'm sitting here across from you
- 17:39Speaker 6: and hearing your story.
- 17:41Speaker 1: This message is so important.
- 17:43Speaker 5: What you're doing is so of the moment to the world,
- 17:46Speaker 5: to the world.
- 17:47Speaker 6: Right. But as I'm sitting here listening to you talk
- 17:50Speaker 6: about your company, I'm only seeing you the last time
- 17:54Speaker 6: I saw you.
- 17:54Speaker 4: Went for the radio show as an intern.
- 17:58Speaker 6: We sent you to New York City on a bus
- 18:01Speaker 6: early morning, naked, wearing just underwear with no money and
- 18:06Speaker 6: no ID.
- 18:06Speaker 4: Angel wings.
- 18:07Speaker 1: And angel wings.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Oh, and angel wings.
- 18:09Speaker 5: We were sending him to the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
- 18:14Speaker 1: In his underpants.
- 18:16Speaker 4: Fighting for justice.
- 18:17Speaker 5: No, and the fact that you got on the bus
- 18:20Speaker 5: with nothing on and no money, I still to this day. Yeah.
- 18:23Speaker 4: How did that end up? I forget. Were you jailed? No, no, no.
- 18:27Speaker 4: There were no charges were pressed. But yeah, no, I
- 18:31Speaker 4: got on the bus. One of Lisa's friends, I think,
- 18:34Speaker 4: met me at the bus.
- 18:36Speaker 10: And I thought this kind gentleman was going to take
- 18:38Speaker 10: me in, maybe give me sweatpants or something. He gave
- 18:41Speaker 10: me like 50 bucks and said, I got to go.
- 18:44Speaker 4: And so then I was like, OK, I guess next step.
- 18:47Speaker 4: So I ended up having to sneak into another.
- 18:49Speaker 10: Friend of Lisa's house or friend in New York who
- 18:52Speaker 10: had like a co-op. And he was like, all right, well,
- 18:53Speaker 10: we got to get in because like if they see
- 18:55Speaker 10: me bring you in, they're going to be like.
- 18:57Speaker 11: You're out.
- 18:57Speaker 4: You're out. And you're still in your underwear. Oh, I'm
- 19:00Speaker 4: in my underwear. And then he finally gave me some clothes,
- 19:02Speaker 4: which was great.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:03Speaker 4: I mean, what am I going to do? Carry him around?
- 19:05Speaker 4: That'd be weird.
- 19:06Speaker 7: I picked him up Saturday morning in Chinatown. He was
- 19:10Speaker 7: still in his underwear. Because he was on the Fung
- 19:13Speaker 7: Wah bus, whatever that was called.
- 19:15Speaker 4: The Feng Shui. Whatever that is.
- 19:16Speaker 10: Because I took the Fung Wah bus down and then
- 19:18Speaker 10: had an adventure.
- 19:19Speaker 4: Tried to get on TRL back in the day.
- 19:21Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 19:21Speaker 10: You know, I told everyone I was the cousin of
- 19:24Speaker 10: the Naked Cowboy, if you remember that guy.
- 19:26Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 19:26Speaker 6: In Times Square.
- 19:27Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
- 19:28Speaker 10: So I was just traipsing around Times Square on my
- 19:29Speaker 10: wing saying, yeah, you've met my cousin, the Naked Cowboy,
- 19:32Speaker 10: so on and so forth. And then, you know, when
- 19:34Speaker 10: it was time to go home, I just hopped on
- 19:36Speaker 10: the Fung Wah bus and came back home.
- 19:38Speaker 4: Now, you need to understand that I'm still sitting here
- 19:40Speaker 4: this many years later. Wondering why. You know what?
- 19:46Speaker 6: I could tell anybody this story and they'd be thinking
- 19:49Speaker 6: the same thing. Why did you send him naked in
- 19:51Speaker 6: his underwear with no money and no ID?
- 19:53Speaker 10: Well, I mean, the premise was bad, but it worked out.
- 19:56Speaker 10: So at the time, it was the Victoria's Secret angel wings.
- 20:00Speaker 4: Sure. I was offended that there were no male models.
- 20:04Speaker 6: And you looked beautiful in your wings.
- 20:06Speaker 10: So the objective was to go to, I think it
- 20:09Speaker 10: was Downtown Crossing, and get signatures to support the first
- 20:12Speaker 10: male models. to join the Victoria's Secret Parade. So I
- 20:15Speaker 10: was like, I got my underwear on, I got my wings,
- 20:17Speaker 10: I got my clipboard. And it was, I mean, to
- 20:20Speaker 10: say a segment was going poorly would be like.
- 20:23Speaker 4: It was bombing. It was not.
- 20:26Speaker 6: Like all of a sudden, I remember this.
- 20:28Speaker 4: All of a sudden, you were still in New York
- 20:30Speaker 4: and we forgot.
- 20:32Speaker 8: Like.
- 20:32Speaker 6: We just left you there and never talked about it again.
- 20:36Speaker 10: I didn't know what was going to happen because the
- 20:39Speaker 10: segment's bombing. I end up finding this young woman. We engage,
- 20:42Speaker 10: and then she's going on the bus. And back in
- 20:44Speaker 10: the studio, you're like, get on the bus.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Go on the bus.
- 20:46Speaker 6: See if you can go on the bus.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Now, I'm following instruction.
- 20:50Speaker 10: I'm being a good soldier. I'm asking her all these questions. Eventually,
- 20:53Speaker 10: the bus driver comes. He's like, listen, you need to
- 20:55Speaker 10: leave the.
- 20:55Speaker 4: Young lady alone. You need to sit up front.
- 20:57Speaker 10: She's going to be in the back. And then my
- 21:01Speaker 10: phone is dying. And this is back in like Star
- 21:03Speaker 10: Tech days.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Remember those phones?
- 21:05Speaker 6: Oh, God, yeah.
- 21:06Speaker 4: My phone is dying. This preceded the flip phone, I think.
- 21:09Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 21:09Speaker 10: Another intern, Barbara, had been like, here's like $ 10, all
- 21:12Speaker 10: the money she had.
- 21:13Speaker 4: In the world. Like, here you go. Good luck. And
- 21:15Speaker 4: I was like, you're not coming?
- 21:16Speaker 6: She's like, no.
- 21:19Speaker 4: What's wrong with you? And then I'm like, all right,
- 21:21Speaker 4: so my phone is dying. The show is ending. I
- 21:24Speaker 4: don't know what's going to happen.
- 21:25Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 4: We just went home. I forgot it happened.
- 21:28Speaker 5: I know.
- 21:28Speaker 1: And he's in New York in his underwear.
- 21:30Speaker 4: I mean, I think the last call I got, like
- 21:32Speaker 4: the last like phone call that went through was with Lisa.
- 21:35Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:35Speaker 4: She was like, OK, I got a friend. He's going
- 21:37Speaker 4: to meet you. I'm like, all right, my phone's going
- 21:38Speaker 4: to die and I've got no money.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Like.
- 21:40Speaker 4: OK, great. And then, you know, now it's like 11
- 21:43Speaker 4: and it's 12. It's one of my everybody's at home. Oh, God.
- 21:46Speaker 6: Ted, you've got the biggest fruit and produce company in
- 21:49Speaker 6: the world, I think, right now with cats.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Your trucks are everywhere.
- 21:52Speaker 6: Now, we had an incident that you and I had
- 21:55Speaker 6: to do when you.
- 21:56Speaker 4: Were here, I think still intern status, still intern.
- 22:00Speaker 6: And somehow I think the show The Amazing Race or
- 22:03Speaker 6: something was just starting.
- 22:05Speaker 4: So they sent the.
- 22:06Speaker 6: Two of us, you and me, blindfolded. with nothing in
- 22:11Speaker 6: our pockets, blindfolded into the woods somewhere, and obviously we
- 22:16Speaker 6: didn't know where we were going.
- 22:17Speaker 4: No idea.
- 22:17Speaker 6: And then left us in the middle of the woods
- 22:19Speaker 6: and took off, and we had to find our way back.
- 22:21Speaker 4: Yeah, and we split that. We did it twice. I
- 22:23Speaker 4: won the first one. You won the second one. Wow.
- 22:26Speaker 6: How did I win? I think I somehow lucked out.
- 22:28Speaker 4: I think you just started running. I think you just
- 22:29Speaker 4: like ran. You just figured out where you were and
- 22:31Speaker 4: you're just like, I'm just going to go.
- 22:33Speaker 1: You ran your way out of the woods.
- 22:35Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 22:35Speaker 4: Picture how scary that is.
- 22:38Speaker 6: We didn't know the woods where we were. We were
- 22:40Speaker 6: blindfolded and we woke up and were surrounded by trees
- 22:43Speaker 6: and had to find our way A, out of the
- 22:45Speaker 6: woods and then get a ride back from like Western Massachusetts.
- 22:49Speaker 4: So you guys hitchhiked. I hitchhiked.
- 22:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 22:51Speaker 4: A truck driver pulled over. I had a story. That
- 22:55Speaker 4: he believed and picked me up and brought me to
- 22:57Speaker 4: Wellington Station.
- 22:58Speaker 6: I got picked up by a landscape truck, I think.
- 23:01Speaker 4: Yeah, a delivery truck.
- 23:02Speaker 6: He brought me as far as Kenmore Square. And I
- 23:05Speaker 6: still had to get from Kenmore.
- 23:07Speaker 4: I think you literally ran like the last three or
- 23:09Speaker 4: five miles.
- 23:10Speaker 7: Just to beat your ass. Yeah, no, you did. You
- 23:13Speaker 7: were not happy that I won the first one.
- 23:15Speaker 4: Wow.
- 23:16Speaker 6: Justin, you got your hand?
- 23:17Speaker 4: I want to go back to Brad for a second.
- 23:19Speaker 4: One more question. Was it boxer shorts underwear or was
- 23:24Speaker 4: it tighty-whities underwear?
- 23:26Speaker 1: Because I'm still working on the visual. It was underpants.
- 23:30Speaker 4: Well, it was the hybrids. It was the boxer briefs.
- 23:34Speaker 6: Yes.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I hate that I remember that.
- 23:38Speaker 4: It's awful. Yeah, I'm so ashamed of myself right now.
- 23:41Speaker 1: I know, but I have to say, look at you
- 23:42Speaker 1: guys now.
- 23:43Speaker 4: Yeah, things worked out.
- 23:44Speaker 1: It builds character, right? He was willing to get on
- 23:47Speaker 1: the bus in his underpants.
- 23:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I was trying to find these stunts online. I
- 23:51Speaker 4: did look it up on ChatGPT, and it's on here. Oh,
- 23:54Speaker 4: is it? The show's crew took a young man, dressed
- 23:56Speaker 4: him up completely as a mysterious secret runway model. Facing
- 24:00Speaker 4: him to parade around in full gear, complete with massive
- 24:02Speaker 4: feathered wings. Okay. Are you serious? I thought this was
- 24:05Speaker 4: like just enough pre-internet that it could be lost forever. No,
- 24:08Speaker 4: it's there. I'm looking at it.
- 24:09Speaker 16: Oh, my God.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Wow. It lives there. It's listed as one of the
- 24:13Speaker 4: famous bits, most famous bits on this show. Well, there
- 24:16Speaker 4: you go. Bragging rights, Brad. Now I'm famous.
- 24:19Speaker 10: Wow.
- 24:19Speaker 6: And you know what else fascinates me? That the two
- 24:21Speaker 6: of you were best friends then.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:23Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 24:23Speaker 4: You remained best friends all these years.
- 24:26Speaker 6: And now you both have extremely successful businesses, and you're
- 24:31Speaker 6: doing business together, right, Ted?
- 24:33Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. How so?
- 24:35Speaker 7: So Catservice Brothers is the source and partner for Morrissey Market.
- 24:39Speaker 7: So the food that goes through the medically tailored boxes
- 24:42Speaker 7: that go through the supply chain come through our warehouse.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Wow.
- 24:46Speaker 6: So are you making Brad more money, or is Brad
- 24:48Speaker 6: making you more money? A little inside question there.
- 24:52Speaker 7: Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think that
- 24:53Speaker 7: this is exactly work that you do to get to
- 24:56Speaker 7: early retirement.
- 24:57Speaker 4: This is something that you have to believe in.
- 24:59Speaker 7: You've got to have the passion for it, and you
- 25:00Speaker 7: have to see the value in what it does for the.
- 25:02Speaker 4: Whole world, for everyone. Sure, for the community. Yeah.
- 25:04Speaker 6: Well, Brad, you had a company before this that you sold.
- 25:07Speaker 6: Wasn't it like Rooftop Gardens or something?
- 25:09Speaker 10: So it was automated hydroponic farms inside of shipping containers.
- 25:12Speaker 6: Okay, of course it was. Already you're above my pay grade.
- 25:16Speaker 4: Hyper what?
- 25:17Speaker 10: So it was hydroponic farms, so growing plants without soil.
- 25:22Speaker 4: So water, artificial light. Nutrient water.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Freight farms.
- 25:26Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Yep.
- 25:28Speaker 11: Wow.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:30Speaker 10: I mean, the whole concept was to allow anyone to
- 25:33Speaker 10: grow food anywhere. So we started with a concept in
- 25:36Speaker 10: a parking lot and said, hey, could we take all
- 25:38Speaker 10: of this emerging technology around LED lighting.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Sensing, etc.
- 25:43Speaker 10: bundle it up into a product so that anybody could grow,
- 25:45Speaker 10: you know, three, four acres worth of food inside of an,
- 25:48Speaker 10: of a climate controlled box and then drop that box
- 25:51Speaker 10: into a parking lot, an alley, a desert, a tundra,
- 25:55Speaker 10: and have fresh local food year round in that community.
- 25:58Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:59Speaker 1: It was groundbreaking at the time, right?
- 26:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:01Speaker 6: Weren't you planting gardens in trailers like trucks? What do
- 26:05Speaker 6: they call them? Containers?
- 26:06Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly.
- 26:07Speaker 10: The form factor we chose was the intermodal shipping container.
- 26:11Speaker 10: So the containers you see everywhere that move goods around
- 26:13Speaker 10: the world.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I'm sorry. What kind of a container? I'm just trying
- 26:16Speaker 4: to learn as we go here.
- 26:17Speaker 6: I feel like I'm in a college science class.
- 26:19Speaker 10: It's your shipping container that you see in all the
- 26:21Speaker 10: trucks and all the ports.
- 26:22Speaker 4: Yeah. Big metal boxes.
- 26:25Speaker 6: Right.
- 26:25Speaker 4: With the corrugated sides. Did you do well in science
- 26:28Speaker 4: at school?
- 26:29Speaker 10: I mean, you must have. By and large, I didn't
- 26:32Speaker 10: do well in school. I wasn't a model student. I
- 26:37Speaker 10: was more apt to action, a.k.a. I'll throw on wings
- 26:40Speaker 10: and get on a bus.
- 26:40Speaker 4: Right. But probably can't sit in a room.
- 26:43Speaker 1: And it worked out.
- 26:44Speaker 6: Yes.
- 26:45Speaker 4: Love, Billy and Lisa. Kiss 108.
- 26:47Speaker 6: Well, you know what's on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show?
- 26:49Speaker 6: We always talk about something. We always have something that
- 26:52Speaker 6: has us bugged on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show.
- 26:55Speaker 6: And this morning, you get to talk about proposals, right?
- 26:58Speaker 6: I mean, should a proposal be a surprise or should
- 27:02Speaker 6: it be something you talk about, right, Lisa?
- 27:04Speaker 5: Exactly. And it came up because your anniversary is coming
- 27:06Speaker 5: up on October 1st. And we were asking you off
- 27:08Speaker 5: the air. how you proposed to Michelle. So that was
- 27:11Speaker 5: the topic.
- 27:11Speaker 4: Yeah. And for me, it was a surprise. Now, did
- 27:15Speaker 4: she probably know it was coming at some.
- 27:18Speaker 6: Point in our lives? Yeah, but I still wanted to
- 27:21Speaker 6: do it without her knowing anything about it.
- 27:24Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the same for me. It was a
- 27:25Speaker 4: complete surprise. 877-617-1108 is our phone number or hit the
- 27:30Speaker 4: talk backs right now. What do you think? Because Billy
- 27:33Speaker 4: and I, our proposals were a complete surprise. Whereas Lisa
- 27:36Speaker 4: and producer Riley, they want some discussion on the proposal
- 27:41Speaker 4: on the ring.
- 27:42Speaker 9: Right.
- 27:42Speaker 1: But also, I think that that a surprise is nice, too.
- 27:45Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 27:46Speaker 5: But again, I'm sure you guys had general conversations at
- 27:50Speaker 5: least once in the relationship stage, even if it's just once.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Like you knew.
- 27:55Speaker 8: Right.
- 27:56Speaker 1: So we're not saying like. I don't know, but Justin,
- 27:59Speaker 1: I think you did it, like, really surprised. Like, you
- 28:01Speaker 1: didn't even have a discussion.
- 28:02Speaker 4: No discussion. I just went and picked out a ring.
- 28:05Speaker 1: And off you went.
- 28:06Speaker 4: I called my mother-in-law because her father had passed, asked for,
- 28:09Speaker 4: you know, permission. Yep. And then it was off. Wow,
- 28:12Speaker 4: you did old school.
- 28:13Speaker 6: You asked for permission, too.
- 28:14Speaker 4: I did, yeah.
- 28:15Speaker 9: Wow, cool.
- 28:15Speaker 4: You know, the classic story is my mother-in-law, Nani, was like,
- 28:18Speaker 4: I said to her, asked her the hand of marriage,
- 28:21Speaker 4: and she said, you sure you want to do that?
- 28:24Speaker 4: best of luck to you hilarious yeah but producer riley
- 28:30Speaker 4: we're talking to her and she says that she would
- 28:33Speaker 4: actually even say no.
- 28:35Speaker 2: I just think that if you are not on the
- 28:37Speaker 2: same page with somebody like if the proposal is coming
- 28:40Speaker 2: out of nowhere and you've not discussed it at all
- 28:44Speaker 2: like you're walking into the future blind and i don't
- 28:47Speaker 2: think that i would want that i think that if
- 28:49Speaker 2: I was dating somebody and marriage had never even come
- 28:52Speaker 2: up and they got down on one knee. I'd be like,
- 28:54Speaker 2: what are you doing? Where is this coming from? Like,
- 28:58Speaker 2: I'd be like shocked. I don't even know what I'd say.
- 29:00Speaker 1: But I agree with you. I think that would be
- 29:01Speaker 1: so strange.
- 29:03Speaker 5: Like, Justin, you never had a conversation with Jen about
- 29:06Speaker 5: spending the.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Rest of your life.
- 29:08Speaker 6: No.
- 29:08Speaker 4: And maybe it's old school. I just thought it would
- 29:10Speaker 4: a surprise would be good. Now, mind you, the ring
- 29:13Speaker 4: I could afford was very cheap. It was not the
- 29:16Speaker 4: best ring, but she acted like it was great. I
- 29:18Speaker 4: think she really didn't really like it.
- 29:19Speaker 6: She did the right thing.
- 29:20Speaker 4: But she'd never let me know that.
- 29:22Speaker 6: Riley's comments about the ring were shocking to me. She
- 29:26Speaker 6: said if he gave her a ring proposing and she
- 29:29Speaker 6: didn't like the ring, she'd say, get that away from me.
- 29:32Speaker 6: How dare you give me that? You don't even know me.
- 29:35Speaker 6: How do you not know I would hate that ring?
- 29:37Speaker 4: I did say that.
- 29:38Speaker 3: You did say that. And I stand by that.
- 29:40Speaker 4: Okay.
- 29:41Speaker 2: I just think that if somebody's proposing to you and
- 29:44Speaker 2: it's something that you would never wear, it's something that
- 29:47Speaker 2: you're like, I just think that if somebody proposed to
- 29:50Speaker 2: you with a ring that you would not like, it's like, again,
- 29:53Speaker 2: like Billy said, You don't know me. Why would you
- 29:56Speaker 2: want to marry me when you don't even know what
- 29:58Speaker 2: kind of ring I'd want to wear for the rest
- 29:59Speaker 2: of my life?
- 30:00Speaker 1: Well, and that's that's a discussion thing, right?
- 30:03Speaker 5: Like he never got to know you and never asked
- 30:06Speaker 5: even a family member or a friend.
- 30:08Speaker 2: And that's not to say that's not to say that, like,
- 30:11Speaker 2: I have to pick out the ring.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I'm not saying that.
- 30:13Speaker 2: I'm just saying there are things that I would never
- 30:16Speaker 2: see myself wearing.
- 30:17Speaker 3: And if you never picked up on that at all.
- 30:21Speaker 4: Yeah, but see, I don't think it's about the ring.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Okay, here's the thing. It's not.
- 30:26Speaker 5: And I think we're all talking about the same thing here.
- 30:28Speaker 5: I mean, Justin, you and Jen, it was about your
- 30:31Speaker 5: commitment to her and the fact that she just wanted
- 30:34Speaker 5: to be with you. And that's the basis of what
- 30:36Speaker 5: it should be about, obviously. Obviously, like the fact that
- 30:41Speaker 5: someone's even wanting to give you a ring is like
- 30:44Speaker 5: that's the most it's a symbol.
- 30:46Speaker 1: It's a symbol of like your love together.
- 30:48Speaker 4: Yes, but I do. I do see Riley's point. Whereas
- 30:50Speaker 4: that ring is going to be on your finger.
- 30:53Speaker 1: I see your point. And to your point, things have changed.
- 30:56Speaker 4: Imagine the poor guy, though.
- 30:57Speaker 6: He goes from on one knee to proposing his love
- 31:01Speaker 6: for life of Riley and says, get away from me.
- 31:04Speaker 4: It would be like one of those viral videos that
- 31:06Speaker 4: we see all the time of the random proposal and
- 31:08Speaker 4: the girl's like.
- 31:09Speaker 5: Or like on the jumbotron at a baseball game and
- 31:12Speaker 5: like the girl standing there.
- 31:13Speaker 1: But ironically, though, Jen did upgrade her ring, right?
- 31:17Speaker 4: That's how I kind of knew that she didn't like
- 31:19Speaker 4: the ring for like the first 10 years because I
- 31:21Speaker 4: upgraded it this summer and got her a legit ring.
- 31:23Speaker 4: And she was like in heaven.
- 31:25Speaker 6: Another thing when proposing, leave the family at home. Let's
- 31:30Speaker 6: go to Jackie and April.
- 31:31Speaker 4: Hey, Jackie, what do you think?
- 31:34Speaker 14: Hey, good morning.
- 31:35Speaker 15: So I actually was like a half and half on
- 31:39Speaker 15: the proposal. So I woke up the morning of knowing
- 31:44Speaker 15: he was going to propose that day. It just kind
- 31:47Speaker 15: of happened that it worked out timing wise. He invited
- 31:51Speaker 15: his dad and stepmom and a bunch of my family
- 31:54Speaker 15: was there.
- 31:54Speaker 4: So Jackie, you knew the whole thing?
- 32:01Speaker 15: So I didn't know how and when he was going
- 32:03Speaker 15: to do it.
- 32:04Speaker 1: I woke up.
- 32:04Speaker 15: So we're at my family's Cape house and I woke
- 32:07Speaker 15: up and I was like, all right, I think today's
- 32:09Speaker 15: the day.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Like it just made sense.
- 32:11Speaker 15: And I figured like, Oh, later tonight he'll take me
- 32:15Speaker 15: for a walk on the beach. And, you know, the
- 32:17Speaker 15: whole romantic, you know, propose on the beach at, you know,
- 32:21Speaker 15: sunset and stuff. And it actually was not that it
- 32:25Speaker 15: was during the day when we're at the beach with
- 32:28Speaker 15: our families. And, um, I left the beach for a moment.
- 32:32Speaker 15: Our house is right up the street.
- 32:33Speaker 8: I went back to the house to make a.
- 32:35Speaker 15: Bunch of sandwiches, and I came back, and everyone was there.
- 32:39Speaker 15: He had a huge sign, and there was a random
- 32:42Speaker 15: woman videotaping the whole thing, and I was completely shocked.
- 32:45Speaker 4: It's Billy's nightmare.
- 32:46Speaker 6: I'm in hell right now.
- 32:47Speaker 14: Billy, yeah, Billy.
- 32:49Speaker 6: Somebody open the door.
- 32:50Speaker 4: I got to get out.
- 32:51Speaker 1: I'm in hell.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Oh.
- 32:53Speaker 4: But she liked it. She loved it. Jackie loved it.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Did you enjoy it?
- 32:56Speaker 15: It was great.
- 32:57Speaker 3: I did.
- 32:58Speaker 15: And my brother and his girlfriend at the time were
- 33:00Speaker 15: really into photography, so they actually photographed everything, too. So
- 33:04Speaker 15: he went ahead, my now husband of almost 11 years,
- 33:07Speaker 15: he went ahead and, like, reached out to everyone and
- 33:10Speaker 15: was like, this is what's going to go on.
- 33:11Speaker 5: This is what's happening.
- 33:12Speaker 14: Can you take pictures?
- 33:13Speaker 8: Can you do this? And it was crazy.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Jackie.
- 33:16Speaker 4: You should see Billy's. I knew that was going to happen.
- 33:18Speaker 14: I had no idea.
- 33:18Speaker 4: Jackie, you said he.
- 33:19Speaker 6: Had a sign.
- 33:20Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 33:21Speaker 6: What was the sign and how big was it?
- 33:26Speaker 15: So, it was just a, like, I don't know, like a...
- 33:29Speaker 15: Like a post-it board?
- 33:31Speaker 8: Not even that big.
- 33:32Speaker 15: No, like a wooden sign. He, like, painted and spray-painted
- 33:36Speaker 15: it that said, will.
- 33:37Speaker 11: You marry me?
- 33:40Speaker 14: So, I walked down to the beach to, like.
- 33:44Speaker 15: I walked down and I'm at the top of the
- 33:46Speaker 15: stairs and I see a huge sign on this beach.
- 33:48Speaker 15: And I'm like, well, this is also the time where
- 33:50Speaker 15: kind of sharks were sort of wandering around Cape Cod.
- 33:54Speaker 15: So I was like, oh, does this are we not
- 33:55Speaker 15: supposed to be in the water anymore or something? And
- 33:57Speaker 15: it says, will you marry me? And I was like, oh,
- 33:59Speaker 15: my God, are you kidding me right now?
- 34:00Speaker 1: I had no idea. Jackie, do you still have the sign?
- 34:04Speaker 1: Of course I do.
- 34:05Speaker 15: It's still hanging up in my house.
- 34:07Speaker 14: I'm never giving that up.
- 34:08Speaker 6: I thought you were going to ask, are you still married?
- 34:10Speaker 4: No, she's definitely still married.
- 34:12Speaker 1: It sounds like it worked for you, and we're so happy.
- 34:15Speaker 4: Good call, Jackie. Thank you. Very good call. Guess we
- 34:17Speaker 4: know what our wedding song was.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Billy and Lisa every morning.
- 34:23Speaker 4: Kiss 108.

- 34:37Speaker 6: about proposals. Should there be a conversation beforehand or should
- 34:42Speaker 6: the proposal be a surprise? You've got talk back, Shasta.
- 34:45Speaker 1: I think a surprise is the best.
- 34:48Speaker 14: I had no idea.
- 34:49Speaker 4: I was in shock.
- 34:51Speaker 1: And when he whipped up the ring, my.
- 34:53Speaker 8: First thing was, and then I said, stop.
- 34:57Speaker 14: And of course I started crying, but it was very beautiful.
- 35:01Speaker 4: Nice. She liked the surprise.
- 35:03Speaker 6: And I love that scene you see in movies or
- 35:05Speaker 6: TV shows when the proposal happens and instantly the bride-to-be
- 35:09Speaker 6: starts crying because she's shocked.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Right.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Or then you have producer Riley who's like, oh.
- 35:16Speaker 6: How dare you not talk to me?
- 35:18Speaker 2: I feel like Bill is OK, taking this a little
- 35:20Speaker 2: out of context here. I think that a discussion can
- 35:23Speaker 2: be had and the proposal can still be a surprise.
- 35:25Speaker 2: I'm not saying I want some guy to be like,
- 35:27Speaker 2: I'm proposing to you.
- 35:28Speaker 3: I'm just saying I want to make sure we're on
- 35:30Speaker 3: the same page.
- 35:31Speaker 2: And then when the proposal happens, it's still, like, shocking.
- 35:34Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Like, I didn't know you were proposing.
- 35:36Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 35:37Speaker 17: So I'm with Riley about the ring thing. I mean,
- 35:40Speaker 17: a ring is like a tattoo. You're going to have
- 35:42Speaker 17: to look at it the rest of your life or,
- 35:45Speaker 17: you know, as long as your marriage lasts. And you
- 35:48Speaker 17: want something that you're not going to look at every
- 35:50Speaker 17: day and be like, ugh, like, he has no taste. Like,
- 35:54Speaker 17: what is this? Like, what I did is I picked
- 35:57Speaker 17: out rings that I liked. And then he surprised me
- 36:00Speaker 17: with a ring that I liked. And I was happy,
- 36:03Speaker 17: but also surprised.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Yeah, she gets me.
- 36:07Speaker 4: For the record, producer Riley flipped me the bird.
- 36:09Speaker 10: She did?
- 36:10Speaker 4: I missed that. It was a joking bird. And it
- 36:12Speaker 4: was a really aggressive one, too.
- 36:13Speaker 5: Yeah, but I also think if you're anywhere near social media,
- 36:16Speaker 5: social media is also giving permission to.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Like, be more involved than ever before.
- 36:21Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 36:21Speaker 1: Because that's all you see.
- 36:24Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right. Everything's like in the public eye.
- 36:26Speaker 1: It is, everything.
- 36:27Speaker 4: It's so much so different. But yeah, Riley. How dare you? Oh,
- 36:33Speaker 4: it's so funny.
- 36:34Speaker 1: 100% have the proposal be a surprise.
- 36:36Speaker 4: It's one of the greatest surprises in life.
- 36:38Speaker 5: But at the same time, before you get engaged, you
- 36:42Speaker 5: should be having.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Active conversations about your future together.
- 36:45Speaker 4: And if you all want.
- 36:46Speaker 1: To spend the rest of your lives together. So yes
- 36:48Speaker 1: to proposal being a surprise. No to the entire concept
- 36:52Speaker 1: of marriage being a surprise, if that makes sense.
- 36:54Speaker 14: Right.
- 36:54Speaker 1: That's what we're saying.
- 36:55Speaker 13: Yes.
- 36:56Speaker 4: She got it.
- 36:56Speaker 1: That talk backer.
- 36:57Speaker 4: That discussion.
- 36:58Speaker 6: Yes.
- 36:58Speaker 4: Let's go to Melissa on line two. She's in Salem. Hey, Melissa.
- 37:02Speaker 4: Hello to Salem.
- 37:04Speaker 11: Oh, hi there.
- 37:05Speaker 5: How are you?
- 37:06Speaker 8: Good.
- 37:06Speaker 6: What do we got, Melissa?
- 37:09Speaker 8: So my now husband, we've been married for about nine years,
- 37:13Speaker 8: completely surprised me and actually had me pulled over by
- 37:18Speaker 8: He had dressed up in a police officer uniform because
- 37:21Speaker 8: his cousin was a cop. And so I thought that
- 37:26Speaker 8: I was getting pulled over slash maybe arrested because they
- 37:30Speaker 8: had me get out of the car. And he was
- 37:34Speaker 8: behind the car on one knee with a ring asking
- 37:38Speaker 8: me to marry him.
- 37:39Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 37:40Speaker 6: I love your husband.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Well, not in that way, but that is so creative.
- 37:46Speaker 6: Really cool.
- 37:47Speaker 8: It was.
- 37:48Speaker 4: It was.
- 37:49Speaker 6: Yes.
- 37:49Speaker 8: Thankfully, I was coming from a bridal shower and I
- 37:52Speaker 8: did not have any cocktails there because otherwise it probably
- 37:55Speaker 8: would have been a whole different situation. But but it
- 37:58Speaker 8: was so fun. And yeah, it was just a complete surprise.
- 38:03Speaker 8: And we actually have it on video because, you know,
- 38:06Speaker 8: we have the dash cam and the body cam. So
- 38:09Speaker 8: we have like a big picture of. Him in a
- 38:11Speaker 8: police officer uniform.
- 38:13Speaker 4: Were handcuffs involved at any point in the night? Good question. Right, Justin?
- 38:17Speaker 6: I know you were thinking it. I'm just asking it.
- 38:22Speaker 4: That's a great story. I hear stories like that and
- 38:24Speaker 4: I think to myself, damn, I dropped the ball.
- 38:26Speaker 16: Me too.
- 38:26Speaker 4: That was my first thought. God, I thought I was creative. Yeah.
- 38:30Speaker 4: Let's go to Mike on line two.
- 38:32Speaker 6: Hey there, Riley, will you marry me?
- 38:35Speaker 4: Oh, there he is.
- 38:36Speaker 1: Please, please, Riley, will you marry me?
- 38:40Speaker 4: As long as there's a discussion.
- 38:41Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 38:42Speaker 1: And I see the ring.
- 38:43Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 38:43Speaker 4: Let's go to Siobhan in Peabody. Line four. Good morning, Siobhan.
- 38:48Speaker 4: What do you think, Siobhan? Good morning.
- 38:52Speaker 1: I'm like 50-50 about it.
- 38:53Speaker 4: When I.
- 38:57Speaker 15: Got engaged my husband didn't tell me about it until
- 39:01Speaker 15: like a couple months.
- 39:02Speaker 14: Before he actually did it because he was like.
- 39:05Speaker 15: Very excited to show me the ring and.
- 39:07Speaker 12: He showed it to me and it was the most
- 39:09Speaker 12: ugliest thing i've ever seen and then i talked him
- 39:17Speaker 12: into returning it and then buying me something that i
- 39:20Speaker 12: really liked um so like Discussion about the rings, yes,
- 39:26Speaker 12: but I didn't know exactly what was going to happen.
- 39:29Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 39:30Speaker 4: Itself and you guys are okay now right oh yeah i.

- 39:40Speaker 16: two yes you do uh does anyone still do that
- 39:43Speaker 16: thing with the the ring and the champagne glass I'm
- 39:47Speaker 16: not sure.
- 39:47Speaker 6: You haven't seen that.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Haven't heard that in a while. They put it in
- 39:51Speaker 1: something like.
- 39:51Speaker 5: They hide it in the meal.
- 39:55Speaker 6: Well, you could choke to death on the ring.
- 39:56Speaker 4: You could. That's true. Mine was a complete surprise because
- 40:00Speaker 4: it was Christmas morning and she had wanted a Pandora charm.
- 40:04Speaker 4: So I bought a Pandora, took that out, put the
- 40:07Speaker 4: ring in there and I put the present in the back.
- 40:09Speaker 4: So she opened all of her gifts. And then the
- 40:11Speaker 4: last one, she unwrapped, and it was a Pandora box.
- 40:14Speaker 4: So she thought, it's the charm that I wanted. And
- 40:17Speaker 4: then when she opened it up, I was on one knee.
- 40:19Speaker 6: Look at you, the romantic.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Weren't you in your underwear?
- 40:21Speaker 4: I was in my underwear. Yeah. What are you doing
- 40:23Speaker 4: in your underwear? It was the morning time. And, you know,
- 40:25Speaker 4: I had this whole idea that it was going to
