- 2:37Speaker 7: want to give a big shout out to you, guys. Lisa.
- 2:40Speaker 7: The book club last night was amazing, between meeting Justin
- 2:45Speaker 7: Billy and Lisa, watching the hard hitting questions and answers
- 2:50Speaker 7: of Dave Portnoy on the stage, and then getting a
- 2:53Speaker 7: chance meeting of Dave fortnite after the show, hands down
- 2:58Speaker 7: one of the best nights ever.
- 3:00Speaker 2: So thank you so much, Lisa. I was so proud
- 3:03Speaker 2: of you last night.
- 3:04Speaker 3: First of all, your interview was electric.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Thank you electric.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I was so nervous. I mean I told you.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Guys didn't show Yeah, I didn't see that.
- 3:13Speaker 5: I well, I prepared, like I made sure that I
- 3:16Speaker 5: was over prepared. So because with those discussions you have
- 3:19Speaker 5: to sort of like go where the conversation goes and
- 3:21Speaker 5: then pivot when you need to. Yeah, so I was.
- 3:25Speaker 5: I felt like he's just so easy to talk to.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Yeah, very much, so I was.
- 3:29Speaker 2: That was one of my biggest takeaways from Dave when
- 3:31Speaker 2: we met him backstage. Yeah, he's just like he is
- 3:35Speaker 2: on social media, exactly the same guy.
- 3:37Speaker 5: And I think that that's why it's always worked for
- 3:39Speaker 5: him in his life and in his business, and when
- 3:42Speaker 5: he's built is because of that, Like you know what
- 3:44Speaker 5: you're going to.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Get right right?
- 3:46Speaker 2: He was making jokes back there, Yeah, people yelling out.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Did that throw you off? By the way, people yelling
- 3:51Speaker 2: off from the crowd, like, oh, joining in on the conversation. No,
- 3:54Speaker 2: I loved.
- 3:54Speaker 5: I love when we were talking about the pizza reviews
- 3:56Speaker 5: and like the South Shore pizza people were screaming like they're.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Playing Beach Pizza, Kate Pizza.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing. And I loved meeting his parents.
- 4:03Speaker 5: Backstage, his girlfriend backstage, her parents were there.
- 4:09Speaker 1: That for me was like so fun.
- 4:10Speaker 5: And then we were talking about his dad and his
- 4:11Speaker 5: dad was like up on the rafters like waving, and.
- 4:14Speaker 3: It was just and you could tell feel good night.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Dave was feeling it that his family was there. You know,
- 4:19Speaker 3: you could see in his face, especially when we brought
- 4:21Speaker 3: it up or he was talking about his family. He
- 4:23Speaker 3: started getting emotional about his dad being there. Yeah.
- 4:26Speaker 5: Well, funny thing I asked his ad I said, so,
- 4:28Speaker 5: have you read the book? He goes, no, because Dave's
- 4:30Speaker 5: making me buy it books, no free book.
- 4:35Speaker 3: He wants to be at the top of the best.
- 4:36Speaker 5: Seller and you know what, I think he's going to
- 4:38Speaker 5: make it the numbers come out, I think next Wednesday
- 4:41Speaker 5: at like five o'clock. I was asking his publisher, So,
- 4:44Speaker 5: but he's he's never one on Amazon already.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Oh, already already. Okay, Well he got the Lisa's Book
- 4:50Speaker 2: Club bump.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:52Speaker 5: I mean when he saw all those books and I said,
- 4:55Speaker 5: every single person that's sitting in this in this venue
- 4:57Speaker 5: bought a book to get here, and he was like
- 4:59Speaker 5: really said yeah.
- 5:00Speaker 3: And that was one of the most impressive pictures that
- 5:02Speaker 3: you posted last night, was the sea of books waiting
- 5:06Speaker 3: for Dave when he walked into Big Night Live last night.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I know, that's funny. I went back into during the
- 5:12Speaker 2: during the whole thing, I went to the green room
- 5:15Speaker 2: and the Frank Peppies people were there. I had the
- 5:17Speaker 2: pizza and they were all reading the book.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Yeah, come back.
- 5:20Speaker 8: You know.
- 5:20Speaker 1: They were awesome too.
- 5:22Speaker 5: They brought like forty pizzas, so there were so many.
- 5:25Speaker 5: I was like, we need to have them out in studio.
- 5:28Speaker 5: B So you and your nephew Buddy made that happen.
- 5:31Speaker 5: So everybody was eating pizza, and I just was.
- 5:34Speaker 2: A really funny moment. So I brought two of my friends,
- 5:37Speaker 2: like to Mike and Mike right so obviously they were
- 5:39Speaker 2: excited to see Dave and all that we walked. I
- 5:42Speaker 2: told them that Frank Peppy was going to be there.
- 5:43Speaker 2: They were excited. We walked into the green room, Dave
- 5:45Speaker 2: standing right there. I walk up to Dave, I look
- 5:48Speaker 2: behind me. They went right for the pizza. They were
- 5:51Speaker 2: smashing pizza before they even met Dave. Oh and it
- 5:54Speaker 2: was good, so good.
- 5:56Speaker 3: But I gotta tell you a least looking out at
- 5:59Speaker 3: that sea of humanity, people waiting in the extreme heat
- 6:02Speaker 3: outside just to get into your book club and the
- 6:05Speaker 3: packed room and how much they were enjoying it. I
- 6:09Speaker 3: was just so proud of you last night.
- 6:10Speaker 1: That was awesome. Yeah, it was.
- 6:12Speaker 5: It was a moment, and I loved that we were
- 6:13Speaker 5: all on stage together. That was really fun and just
- 6:16Speaker 5: sort of like acknowledging like all of our listeners and
- 6:20Speaker 5: they all came out meeting them, meeting them and like
- 6:23Speaker 5: we're all raising money together for raising a reader and
- 6:27Speaker 5: some of Dave's a portion of Dave's book is going
- 6:30Speaker 5: to a rescue dog charity. So from the Planet Fitness,
- 6:35Speaker 5: Kiss One Await Studios, we're back with A Billy and
- 6:38Speaker 5: Lisa in the morning.
- 6:40Speaker 3: So last night's book club with Lisa and Dave Portnoy,
- 6:43Speaker 3: packed house, huge lines, people waiting in line in the
- 6:46Speaker 3: scorching heat just to get in, and Lisa, I must say,
- 6:50Speaker 3: Dave seemed very open, very comfortable all night.
- 6:53Speaker 1: He did well.
- 6:53Speaker 5: He walked in with his parents and his girlfriend and
- 6:56Speaker 5: his girlfriend's parents and they went out to dinner ahead
- 6:58Speaker 5: of time and then we hung out. So yeah, I
- 7:01Speaker 5: think he was just like happy to be back in
- 7:02Speaker 5: Boston and it was a packed house.
- 7:06Speaker 2: And he talked about everything he did.
- 7:08Speaker 1: He well.
- 7:09Speaker 5: I asked, you know, are there anything, you know, questions
- 7:11Speaker 5: that are off limits to his pr person and she's like, nope,
- 7:14Speaker 5: go for it.
- 7:15Speaker 2: I love that.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like our dream.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Yeah he's but that's yeah, but that's who he is.
- 7:20Speaker 1: He'll fantic. Yeah, authentic Dave.
- 7:22Speaker 2: So where do you want to start.
- 7:22Speaker 5: I'm guessing the I want to start with how I
- 7:25Speaker 5: told the crowd how he came to my book club.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Yeah, she sent him a DM.
- 7:29Speaker 6: So, I mean, I'm local obviously, so I recognized you
- 7:32Speaker 6: Kiss went to wait, and I knew.
- 7:34Speaker 9: I'd be doing something in Boston, so it was a
- 7:36Speaker 9: no brainer.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:37Speaker 5: So I literally just picked up my phone one October
- 7:39Speaker 5: morning and I was just like, screw it, I'm just
- 7:41Speaker 5: gonna I'm going to DM him and he got back
- 7:43Speaker 5: to me within forty five minutes.
- 7:44Speaker 2: And it was so cool to hear him explain that
- 7:46Speaker 2: very quickly because we've told that story a million times. Yeah,
- 7:49Speaker 2: how he got right back to you right, And it's
- 7:51Speaker 2: like it went through. He saw your name, knew who
- 7:54Speaker 2: you were new Kiss went await and was like.
- 7:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll do that.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Yeah. It was fantastic.
- 7:57Speaker 3: It's funny too.
- 7:58Speaker 2: When Bill we walked back there to meet him, he
- 8:00Speaker 2: looked at Billy and he goes, I'll haven't when we met.
- 8:03Speaker 3: It's so true.
- 8:04Speaker 5: Right, So then I started asking him about the book
- 8:08Speaker 5: because it's a book club, and I usually ask authors
- 8:11Speaker 5: do they know the ending of a book before they start,
- 8:14Speaker 5: and that's what I asked him.
- 8:15Speaker 6: It was always going to end when I got the
- 8:17Speaker 6: company back, Okay, when I started the process of the book,
- 8:20Speaker 6: and when I.
- 8:21Speaker 9: Got the company back.
- 8:21Speaker 6: That's I bought the company back for a dollar from
- 8:24Speaker 6: the company. That from Penn who bought it, and that
- 8:27Speaker 6: was big news. Everyone's like, how the hell did he
- 8:29Speaker 6: do that? They paid five hundred million for it, and
- 8:31Speaker 6: then he bought it back for a dollar like six
- 8:33Speaker 6: months later. So there was a story behind that that
- 8:37Speaker 6: I was forced to sign an MDA for that said,
- 8:39Speaker 6: I could never tell the story, so I was like,
- 8:42Speaker 6: how do I end it? I kind of want to
- 8:44Speaker 6: tell the story, and we're getting ahead, but Penn wanted
- 8:47Speaker 6: to do a deal with ESPN and kick us out basically,
- 8:51Speaker 6: and that deal fell apart right as I was finishing
- 8:56Speaker 6: the book, and I called Penn and I'm like, can
- 8:58Speaker 6: I tell that ESPN to fire me from my own company? Now?
- 9:01Speaker 9: They're like, yeah, we don't like them either.
- 9:03Speaker 6: So it was the perfect timing for me to finish it.
- 9:08Speaker 6: I was literally like winding down, how do I finish it?
- 9:11Speaker 9: And then I got that gift.
- 9:13Speaker 3: It's a pretty interesting story, very cool story, and it
- 9:15Speaker 3: was a big story at the time, very big.
- 9:19Speaker 5: Then we moved on to Miss Peaches, which that's all
- 9:22Speaker 5: anyone wanted to talk about last night, and he had
- 9:25Speaker 5: this to say about a portion of the book sales.
- 9:28Speaker 9: Ten bucks for every single book, I'm going to give
- 9:30Speaker 9: to Lifeline.
- 9:31Speaker 6: Animal Shelter, which is where I got Pete and Miss Peaches.
- 9:36Speaker 6: And really I said that when I got Misspeaches, because
- 9:39Speaker 6: everything at Barstool does not happen on purpose.
- 9:42Speaker 9: It's very organic.
- 9:43Speaker 6: So I filmed the video of myself getting Mispeaches because
- 9:47Speaker 6: I wanted it for myself, and it just hit a
- 9:50Speaker 6: nerve instantly with like dog people, and they loved it,
- 9:53Speaker 6: so I started posting more. She just blew up so fast.
- 9:56Speaker 6: But every penny, whether it's merch we've sold Peaches, whatever
- 10:00Speaker 6: it is, we give back to animal charities and try.
- 10:03Speaker 9: To help save other dogs.
- 10:04Speaker 2: I get to tell you something.
- 10:05Speaker 3: At least, I was standing side stage and I was
- 10:07Speaker 3: looking directly at Dave as you were talking to him,
- 10:10Speaker 3: and the minute I couldn't help, but notice the minute
- 10:13Speaker 3: you mentioned miss Peaches, he teared up, like he got
- 10:16Speaker 3: really emotional just at the mention of her name.
- 10:19Speaker 5: Well, I think we can all agree that when he
- 10:21Speaker 5: adopted her. I don't know, it was like he became
- 10:26Speaker 5: not a different person, he just became.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Like really happy. Yeah, oh yeah, so much joy.
- 10:32Speaker 5: And he also said that the miss Peaches has like
- 10:34Speaker 5: a wardrobe closet, like because I asked her, are you
- 10:37Speaker 5: still dressing her up?
- 10:39Speaker 2: Down and take it on red carpet? And he said absolutely,
- 10:43Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And I don't bring her around anymore because
- 10:45Speaker 2: she just gets mobbed. Yeah, like Pete the beagle is
- 10:47Speaker 2: not really a people kind of dog, aren't But Peaches
- 10:51Speaker 2: just gets attacked in a.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Good way and in a good way, all right.
- 10:54Speaker 5: So I then asked him what is he most proud of,
- 10:57Speaker 5: and he mentioned what he did for business over COVID.
- 11:00Speaker 6: All these businesses were shut down, and I was talking
- 11:04Speaker 6: loudly about it. I was basically like, something has to
- 11:08Speaker 6: be done for these small businesses. You can't You either
- 11:12Speaker 6: have to give them money or you're going to let
- 11:13Speaker 6: them stay open. It can't be you can be closed
- 11:15Speaker 6: and you get no money because these are lifelong businesses
- 11:18Speaker 6: going out of businesses. So I put in five hundred
- 11:23Speaker 6: thousand my own money, and I said, we are going
- 11:26Speaker 6: to try to raise money, send us an email of
- 11:28Speaker 6: your company, and as long as you've been successful, like
- 11:31Speaker 6: you have a track record of success. The only thing
- 11:34Speaker 6: that changed is COVID, we will try to help you
- 11:37Speaker 6: out as best we can. So we got inundated with
- 11:41Speaker 6: emails from companies and what we did would we'd send
- 11:45Speaker 6: them their expense. They had to have their employees. That
- 11:47Speaker 6: was part of it, like we wanted people still be employed.
- 11:50Speaker 6: And say somebody needed seventy grand a month for electric payroll,
- 11:53Speaker 6: whatever it is. Every single month, we'd send a check
- 11:56Speaker 6: for seventy thousand.
- 11:57Speaker 9: And I mean from the second.
- 11:59Speaker 6: You were approved into our program, you had the money
- 12:02Speaker 6: twenty four hours later.
- 12:03Speaker 9: There was no and that anywhere else.
- 12:06Speaker 6: Like the government, it's like we'll get the money, Well
- 12:08Speaker 6: they're going to be gone. So we raised close to
- 12:11Speaker 6: fifty million for that. Saved over four hundred and fifty businesses.
- 12:16Speaker 2: That's huge. And I remember that.
- 12:18Speaker 5: It was instant money and that wasn't happening anywhere else.
- 12:21Speaker 5: So then I asked him about the one bite pizza reviews,
- 12:24Speaker 5: because that's some that in some ways, that's the way
- 12:26Speaker 5: people know Dave is through that, And I asked like
- 12:29Speaker 5: behind the scenes questions like how big is your staff?
- 12:32Speaker 5: How do you pick the pizza places?
- 12:34Speaker 6: It's morphed because when it started, I'm a north Shore
- 12:39Speaker 6: guy and everyone's like yeah everyone, and everyone's like, salt
- 12:44Speaker 6: Shore has the best bar pie.
- 12:46Speaker 9: You gotta go, you gotta go decide. There's a big
- 12:50Speaker 9: debate town Spa versus Lynnwood.
- 12:52Speaker 8: Ay.
- 12:53Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's like all right, yeah, let me go
- 12:57Speaker 6: try it. And I just was like, one, bye, here's
- 13:00Speaker 6: a score. And then I expanded the bar pies, so
- 13:03Speaker 6: Cape Cod Pizza, Poopsie pizza, like, I started doing all
- 13:06Speaker 6: bar pies and.
- 13:08Speaker 3: They all started yelling out in the crack. Yeah. And
- 13:11Speaker 3: Linwood is a legend and always has been with the pizza.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Yeah. So he literally he did one yesterday.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Yeah, like when in Brighton.
- 13:19Speaker 5: In Brighton, Yeah, he walks in with one guy yep,
- 13:22Speaker 5: and they just do it again.
- 13:25Speaker 1: The magic of Dave Portnoy.
- 13:26Speaker 5: Okay, moving on Taylor Swift, I said, what are your
- 13:29Speaker 5: thoughts on the wedding at MSG.
- 13:31Speaker 9: I'm stunned.
- 13:33Speaker 6: I can't believe they're doing it there. I mean, I
- 13:35Speaker 6: absolutely can't believe. I don't know why. And Taylor has
- 13:39Speaker 6: obviously done a one eighties since she's been dating Travis
- 13:43Speaker 6: because she's so private and really didn't really like mixing
- 13:46Speaker 6: the public. I can't believe they're doing it there. I
- 13:49Speaker 6: thought she'd be a watch hill girl for sure.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Right, we can't either.
- 13:53Speaker 5: I mean, you're a swifty I'm a swiftye we were,
- 13:55Speaker 5: I mean everybody is.
- 13:56Speaker 9: You know, it's one hundred and ten degrees of mass.
- 13:58Speaker 1: I don't even it just it just seems so impersonal.
- 14:03Speaker 9: They say they're building a castle or something.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what came out today.
- 14:07Speaker 6: There's a there's a small group thinking that she's throwing
- 14:11Speaker 6: people off like she's doing as a diversion.
- 14:13Speaker 9: But that's hard to believe.
- 14:16Speaker 2: I guess we're gonna see today the day.
- 14:18Speaker 10: I know.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Imagine if he goes I asked him, I know he's
- 14:22Speaker 2: of course he's gonna say no.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, all right.
- 14:26Speaker 5: The last question I was doing like hot takes, and
- 14:30Speaker 5: I said, Jalen.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Brown, okay before we play this. Yes, I think you
- 14:34Speaker 2: broke the news to him. Yeah you get that failing. Yes,
- 14:37Speaker 2: I don't think he knew, but he still had an answer.
- 14:39Speaker 6: The trade they just did definitely doesn't make the Celtics
- 14:43Speaker 6: better if they say this, if beat his healthy which
- 14:49Speaker 6: is a one in billion.
- 14:50Speaker 3: Did you hear that? Yeah, he wasn't sure he was
- 14:53Speaker 3: learning about.
- 14:54Speaker 1: But they booed. That was the entire all fifteen hundred
- 14:58Speaker 1: people were doing.
- 15:00Speaker 3: But he thought he actually he posted a video afterwards.
- 15:02Speaker 4: He did.
- 15:02Speaker 2: He originally thought they were booing Jalen, so he corrected it.
- 15:06Speaker 2: They were booing the trade. Yes, no, one's happy.
- 15:08Speaker 6: Yeah, it does make them better. He's an MVP, He's
- 15:13Speaker 6: a finals MVP, so that will always sort of resonate.
- 15:16Speaker 6: I think he's a weird guy, Like he's always saying
- 15:20Speaker 6: doing things that you may be like, eh, like, should
- 15:22Speaker 6: you be on Twitch saying you had your best season
- 15:24Speaker 6: ever when we just got bounced?
- 15:26Speaker 9: Probably not. But he was a great Celtic when he
- 15:31Speaker 9: was here.
- 15:32Speaker 3: I gotta tell you that Celtics just have not handled
- 15:35Speaker 3: it really well. And the fact that it was the Sixers.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Don't forget that it eliminated them in the first round
- 15:40Speaker 3: of the playoffs.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Oh there's that. We'll talk more about this in the entertainment.
- 15:42Speaker 2: That's seven to ten. People are not happy with this,
- 15:44Speaker 2: not happy at all. And by the way, he did
- 15:48Speaker 2: have that press conference in the green room he did
- 15:50Speaker 2: at Big Night Live.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Dave portnite. Ifeople were like, why aren't you talking about this?
- 15:54Speaker 3: Because he was doing the show.
- 15:56Speaker 11: Yeah, now the entertainment of d with a Billy Cotsta.
- 16:02Speaker 3: So the nowa contest not only still going on but
- 16:05Speaker 3: getting bigger. The winning tickets now have been upgraded to

- 16:10Speaker 2: That's the best in the house.
- 16:12Speaker 1: It's incredible.
- 16:14Speaker 3: It's enough just to be at Fenway Park for a
- 16:17Speaker 3: Noah Kon contest concert rather but to be there ridiculous.
- 16:22Speaker 2: And again, same rules apply.
- 16:24Speaker 3: You hear a Noah Khan song on Kiss, you send
- 16:25Speaker 3: us a talk back, but make it good.
- 16:28Speaker 12: Just here to say that I should win the Noakon
- 16:30Speaker 12: concert tickets because I've been streaming Kiss want to wait.

- 16:55Speaker 3: scorching hot New York City. Just report and this is

- 17:03Speaker 3: list of performers. Reports say she will do her song
- 17:06Speaker 3: young and Beautiful.
- 17:15Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be their webbing song.
- 17:16Speaker 3: I love this.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I love that song.
- 17:18Speaker 2: It really is one of the greatest songs of all time.
- 17:21Speaker 1: It really is. And that's the dance version.
- 17:23Speaker 6: I know.
- 17:24Speaker 2: I pulled the dancing one. I like the slow one's
- 17:26Speaker 2: kind of a little too slow, still great reports.
- 17:29Speaker 3: I also say this morning and the next starting lineup
- 17:32Speaker 3: is going to be there, and why not?
- 17:33Speaker 2: It's their house. Jalen Morton's crazy.

- 17:40Speaker 5: Sabrina Carpenter has been all over the West Village this.
- 17:43Speaker 3: Week, ah shopping.
- 17:45Speaker 5: I'm guessing Lipa has been in this, you know, in
- 17:48Speaker 5: the same studio recording something.
- 17:51Speaker 3: So how do we know?
- 17:52Speaker 2: How do we how do you think a thousand people
- 17:53Speaker 2: are going to be Who are the thousand people?
- 17:55Speaker 3: I'm confused on that.
- 17:56Speaker 1: How are they chosen?
- 17:58Speaker 5: Well, if she's inviting the entire starting lineup, I mean
- 18:01Speaker 5: it's a pretty you know, yeah, it's a.
- 18:06Speaker 3: Open less well, they certainly have plenty of.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Room they did.
- 18:09Speaker 3: That's not an issue. I'd say, no, the room is
- 18:12Speaker 3: not an issue. Doors today will open at three thirty
- 18:15Speaker 3: and go until two in the morning. It's the rehearsal dinner,
- 18:19Speaker 3: I guess for about one hundred people. Yes, and then
- 18:22Speaker 3: tomorrow doors open at three point thirty. Over a thousand
- 18:25Speaker 3: guests are expected. Cocktails start at four o'clock. Sixth floor
- 18:30Speaker 3: concourse is where the cocktails be served up. The ceremonies

- 18:38Speaker 4: Yep.
- 18:39Speaker 3: What the food's going to be? Well, thank you for asking. Oh,
- 18:43Speaker 3: you know, some of.
- 18:44Speaker 2: The food has been trucked in.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Lots of lobster, uh huh, lots of blackened chicken, skinless breast,
- 18:50Speaker 3: chicken legs. You know, it's funny least because yesterday you speculated,
- 18:55Speaker 3: I wonder if they'll have the giant turkey legs because
- 18:58Speaker 3: it seems very medieval man, right, imagine everybody just walking
- 19:02Speaker 3: around with a giant turkey leg while she has the
- 19:05Speaker 3: castle she built the castle in MSG.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Wow.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Yeah, chicken legs. And this is important. Lots and lots
- 19:14Speaker 3: of onion rings. You cannot get married with the onions
- 19:19Speaker 3: into onion rings.
- 19:21Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying, like, oh, which Taylor.
- 19:23Speaker 3: Travis Travis wangs Onion's got to be. It's got to be.
- 19:27Speaker 1: There's a speculation that she might be taking his name.
- 19:30Speaker 3: Legally but not. Yeah, she won't use it on the road.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Wow.
- 19:35Speaker 3: So are they going to be Wang's there or not?
- 19:37Speaker 3: That's what I want to know. You gotta wangs Travis's wedding,
- 19:40Speaker 3: then Travis and the boys wangs. Uh. Dave Portnoy was
- 19:45Speaker 3: here for Lisa's book club last night, asked about the
- 19:47Speaker 3: Taylor Travis wedding and the fact that they are supposedly
- 19:50Speaker 3: having it at Madison Square Garden.
- 19:52Speaker 9: I'm stunned.
- 19:54Speaker 6: I can't believe they're doing it there. I mean, I
- 19:56Speaker 6: absolutely can't believe. I don't know why. In Taylor has
- 20:00Speaker 6: obviously done a one eighties since she's been dating Travis,
- 20:04Speaker 6: because she's so private and really didn't really like mixing
- 20:07Speaker 6: the public. I can't believe they're doing it there. I
- 20:10Speaker 6: thought she'd be a watch Hill girl for sure.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Right, we can't either. I mean, you're a swifty, I'm
- 20:15Speaker 1: a swifty. We were, I mean everybody is.
- 20:17Speaker 9: You know, it's one hundred and ten degrees.
- 20:19Speaker 5: Man, I don't even it just it just seems so impersonal.
- 20:24Speaker 9: They say they're building a castle or something.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what came out today.
- 20:28Speaker 6: There's a there's a small group thinking that she's throwing
- 20:32Speaker 6: people off like she's doing as a demersion.
- 20:35Speaker 3: But that's hard to believe. I think it's a little
- 20:37Speaker 3: late for that. No, it's definitely a message.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Yeah, something's happening.
- 20:41Speaker 3: Then it would be a colossal curve ball if it
- 20:44Speaker 3: wasn't at this point at Madison Square Garden.
- 20:47Speaker 2: That's a long stretch of party though. That's a lot
- 20:49Speaker 2: of hours.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Oh, they're saying it's going to be better than the
- 20:52Speaker 1: met Gala.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Oh I bet, I imagine. I imagine Travis. By the
- 20:56Speaker 3: end of the night, it's going to get real sloppy.
- 21:03Speaker 3: How about this guy when on TMZ he says he
- 21:07Speaker 3: is going to the wedding, it's not going to be
- 21:10Speaker 3: what everybody thinks. There's a little bit of a.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Surprise going on.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Oh okay, help me out here.
- 21:17Speaker 2: They've got something they don't want everybody to really know
- 21:19Speaker 2: where it is.
- 21:20Speaker 3: So are you invited to the wedding or the or
- 21:23Speaker 3: the party? Both the wedding and the party?
- 21:26Speaker 13: Okay, Peter, I'm going to ask you a very specific question.
- 21:30Speaker 13: Is the wedding the same day as the party? Yes, Anthony, Yes,
- 21:37Speaker 13: is the wedding at Madison Square Garden.
- 21:39Speaker 2: I can't say.
- 21:41Speaker 13: Is the wedding at the same place as the party?
- 21:43Speaker 13: Just tell me that, No, it is not at the
- 21:46Speaker 13: same place as the party, right, but it is the
- 21:49Speaker 13: same day of the party, exactly.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I think that guy's a total I don't think he's
- 21:53Speaker 3: going anywhere, Peter.
- 21:55Speaker 2: He's a celebrity memorabilia dealer who apparently is going as
- 22:00Speaker 2: a guess of.
- 22:00Speaker 3: Someone else, of a woman. We don't know who the
- 22:02Speaker 3: woman is.
- 22:02Speaker 5: I thought they weren't allowed to bring guests. Well, remember
- 22:05Speaker 5: that was the story here.
- 22:06Speaker 2: And I thought they weren't allowed to talk about it.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Well, if this guy was going as someone's guest, he's
- 22:12Speaker 3: not going anymore.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Remember they're going to stop him at the door. There's
- 22:15Speaker 2: no penalty for breaking the NBA.
- 22:17Speaker 3: Remember, Yeah. But still it's tasteless what he did.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry, Peter, You're fired.
- 22:24Speaker 3: So halfway through release his book club last night, we
- 22:26Speaker 3: got word that Jalen Brown had just been traded to
- 22:29Speaker 3: the Sixers.
- 22:30Speaker 6: The trade they just did definitely doesn't make the Celtics better.
- 22:37Speaker 6: If if they say this, if beat his healthy, which
- 22:40Speaker 6: is a one in billion chance, it does make them better.
- 22:44Speaker 9: He's an MVP.
- 22:46Speaker 6: He's a finals MVP, so that will always sort of resonate.
- 22:49Speaker 6: I think he's a weird guy, Like he's always saying
- 22:53Speaker 6: in doing things that you may be like, eh, like,
- 22:55Speaker 6: should you be on Twitch saying.
- 22:56Speaker 9: You had your best season ever when we just got bounced?
- 22:59Speaker 2: Probably not.
- 23:02Speaker 6: But he was a great Celtic when he was here.
- 23:05Speaker 6: They had to make a change. It wasn't winning, and
- 23:07Speaker 6: I think once they tried to trade him for Giannis,
- 23:11Speaker 6: you can put the genie back in the ball.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Speaking of Jalen Brown saying and doing things, do you
- 23:18Speaker 3: remember when the Celts were, by the way eliminated by
- 23:22Speaker 3: the Sixers, Jalen Brown called mb but the Sixers a
- 23:27Speaker 3: total flopper.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Flopping has ruined our game.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Joel Ebid is a great player, one of the best
- 23:33Speaker 3: bigs in basketball history.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Flops.
- 23:39Speaker 3: It's ain't breaking news.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Yeah, now their teammates, that's gonna be an awkward meeting. He's
- 23:43Speaker 2: playing with the flopper. So, I mean, it looks like
- 23:46Speaker 2: one of the worst trades of all time. Let's just
- 23:48Speaker 2: call it what it is. Paul George thirty six years old.
- 23:50Speaker 3: A lot of.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Injuries, very injury for Jalen I don't. There must be like,
- 23:55Speaker 2: like Dave said, Brad Stevens must have a plan here
- 23:58Speaker 2: because we got nothing like a couple.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Of a couple of draft picks down the road. Nothing
- 24:04Speaker 3: that's going to affect them right away.
- 24:05Speaker 1: He's got rid of that super Max contract.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, the money dombe, that's what it was. And to
- 24:10Speaker 2: our rivals, Yeah, flopper, he's a flopper.
- 24:16Speaker 3: World Cup Soccer team US beat Bostonia yesterday. They advanced
- 24:19Speaker 3: to the round of sixteen.
- 24:21Speaker 2: There's the final Lessel Seattle sixteen to the United States.
- 24:28Speaker 9: Despite being down for half an hour, he.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Has beat boss. It hurts and he's going round time.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Yeah. There was a big watch party at MGM Music
- 24:38Speaker 3: Call you okay last night.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Let's take people behind the scenes into the green room
- 24:42Speaker 2: with Dave Portnoy. So that that game, the game, the
- 24:45Speaker 2: Senegal Belgium game was on. He bet on the game.
- 24:48Speaker 2: He bet on Senegal and they lost. They were up
- 24:51Speaker 2: to nothing and then Belgium came back. And apparently he's
- 24:54Speaker 2: a mush when it comes to the World Cup. He's
- 24:56Speaker 2: lost every single bet that he's placed. So we're all
- 24:59Speaker 2: talking to him like having fun, but he keeps yelling
- 25:02Speaker 2: out at the TV like, oh my god.
- 25:03Speaker 3: He keeps looking at his phone distracted because of the money. Then, yeah,
- 25:08Speaker 3: it's so funny.
- 25:09Speaker 2: He lost, he lost.
- 25:12Speaker 3: And how about the couple a couple of skyscraper climbers
- 25:16Speaker 3: climbing all the way to the top of the Empire
- 25:19Speaker 3: State Building. I'm talking about not just the building, but
- 25:22Speaker 3: the tower that shoots up from the top of the
- 25:25Speaker 3: Empire State Building. Uh, and they got engaged up top.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Here was the reports.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Climbed to the top of the Empire State Fold at
- 25:33Speaker 1: the top of the fire.
- 25:35Speaker 11: Oh that's awesome.
- 25:35Speaker 3: It's a little hot for that, isn't it.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Yeah, a little hot.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there's a whole story here.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Well they were taking into custody. Well, this is what
- 25:42Speaker 2: they do. They climbed skyscrapers. There's actually a Netflix show
- 25:45Speaker 2: about this called Skywalker is a love story. If you
- 25:48Speaker 2: go to like Hurt the Girls Instagram Angela Nicolau he's Russian.
- 25:53Speaker 2: It's it's like terrifying what they do. They climb up
- 25:57Speaker 2: on these skyscrapers. It's it's death defying.
- 26:00Speaker 3: Oh, what's the point of taking them into custody. They're
- 26:02Speaker 3: going to be released anyway, right, Yeah, but they start
- 26:04Speaker 3: to charge them. You can't. It's illegal to do.
- 26:06Speaker 2: They don't pay a fine.
- 26:08Speaker 1: They have to do it, so no one else does it.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Yeah right, wow, my man, Lil Wayne, Oh you're doing
- 26:14Speaker 3: this story. A complete no show and his plan concert
- 26:18Speaker 3: in Maine, no explanation, no reasons given, no apologies announced,
- 26:24Speaker 3: he just didn't go.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Yeah, this is too bad. I felt bad. I remember
- 26:28Speaker 2: years ago I was working on another radio station. He
- 26:31Speaker 2: was the headliner of the concert. Yeah, and he came
- 26:34Speaker 2: late and he was with security and they had to
- 26:37Speaker 2: go to metal detectors and the security had a gun
- 26:40Speaker 2: his guy and they wouldn't let him through with the gun.
- 26:43Speaker 3: He left, you know, he didn't perform. Well, they've reset
- 26:46Speaker 3: the show now for July twenty eighth.
- 26:48Speaker 1: This is a trend with him.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a no show. Yeah yeah, it's all the
- 26:54Speaker 2: you know what it is. It's all the Lil's little.
- 26:55Speaker 3: Losing vert man, a little pump Little Wayne. Don't for
- 27:00Speaker 3: Lil YACHTI cannot forget Lil Yati. We're brought to by
- 27:05Speaker 3: the ninety nine Restaurant celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth
- 27:08Speaker 3: at the ninety nine restaurant, Kids Eat free now through
- 27:11Speaker 3: July sixteenth, with every adult Andre purchased. Great food, great fun,
- 27:16Speaker 3: and Happy Birthday America. You gotta love the Nines in
- 27:19Speaker 3: there you can go.
- 27:20Speaker 2: What are the big superstars of the world.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Love your sound, I love your music.
- 27:25Speaker 2: A little pimp Lisa Kiss.
- 27:30Speaker 3: So as we head into the fourth of July, weekend,
- 27:33Speaker 3: typically a weekend where family and friends get together. They
- 27:37Speaker 3: have pool side parties, they have backyard parties. You know,
- 27:40Speaker 3: you kind of go out, you enjoy the beach. You
- 27:42Speaker 3: see people all the time hauling coolers down the beach
- 27:46Speaker 3: full of cold beers, high noons and all that. And
- 27:50Speaker 3: with all that in mind, I'm looking at a report
- 27:53Speaker 3: and I think we saw this coming that fewer and
- 27:56Speaker 3: fewer people, especially young people, are either not drinking at all,
- 28:02Speaker 3: or they're drinking a lot less, and apparently for different reasons.
- 28:07Speaker 3: I think most of them are doing it because drinking
- 28:09Speaker 3: has just gotten very expensive and they're not making enough
- 28:13Speaker 3: money to afford to go out, so.
- 28:14Speaker 1: They'll pregame right before they go out.
- 28:17Speaker 5: And also I think a lot of the you know,
- 28:19Speaker 5: cannabis stores now, like they'll do a gummy or something
- 28:22Speaker 5: and then go out.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Yeah, so they'll do that instead of drinking top edible
- 28:26Speaker 2: yeah before they go out.
- 28:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:28Speaker 2: And the other thing is you know, saving it's saving money.
- 28:31Speaker 2: But then also the health thing. Yeah, I feel like
- 28:34Speaker 2: a lot of people, younger people are taking their health
- 28:36Speaker 2: more serious and fitness.
- 28:39Speaker 3: They're hitting the gyms. That's seen a boom as well. Yeah. Yeah,
- 28:43Speaker 3: but a big percentage of it is that exactly it's
- 28:45Speaker 3: healthier not to drink or so to certainly drink a
- 28:48Speaker 3: lott Yeah, let's go to the report. We haven't seen
- 28:50Speaker 3: that any drinks and mocktails are the fastest growing segment
- 28:53Speaker 3: in our industry, and that it tells us a lot
- 28:55Speaker 3: about the younger generation and the choices they make when
- 28:58Speaker 3: they go out.
- 28:59Speaker 14: I'm just like, there's no reason for it.
- 29:01Speaker 4: So I don't.
- 29:02Speaker 11: They drink like a lot back in the day, but
- 29:05Speaker 11: it had such a destructive habit on my body.
- 29:07Speaker 2: There's more people who are more conscious of the amount
- 29:12Speaker 2: that they are consuming.
- 29:13Speaker 3: They're moving away from the beer, they're moving away from
- 29:15Speaker 3: the cocktails.
- 29:17Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you know what.
- 29:18Speaker 3: My TV shows we work a lot of restaurants and
- 29:20Speaker 3: bars and stuff like that, and people have been telling
- 29:22Speaker 3: me for months and months now in the industry that
- 29:25Speaker 3: it really is affecting the business because whether it's a
- 29:28Speaker 3: restaurant or a bar, the money has always been in
- 29:31Speaker 3: the booze.
- 29:32Speaker 5: And now they're redesigning their restaurants with this in mind.
- 29:36Speaker 3: They're reorganizing, they're coming up. Every time we shoot at
- 29:39Speaker 3: a restaurant for the TV show, there are more and
- 29:42Speaker 3: more mocktails available and they get very, very creative now
- 29:46Speaker 3: with the mocktails.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Well, that's to adjust. Yeah, you know, people aren't spending
- 29:51Speaker 2: money and not drinking. They have to adjust. Sounds like
- 29:54Speaker 2: that's what they're doing.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Jenny Johnson, my partner in TV, she doesn't drink at all,
- 29:57Speaker 3: hasn't for like eight or nine years, right, wife Michelle
- 30:01Speaker 3: hardly drinks a glass of wine or she'll have one drink.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Not tequila. Yeah, because tequila is idiot, it's clean. Yeah,
- 30:10Speaker 2: I mean I don't. I don't drink. I've been drinking
- 30:12Speaker 2: a long time.
- 30:12Speaker 3: So I like that.
- 30:14Speaker 2: You know, you can have fun without drinking. I like
- 30:17Speaker 2: that message. You don't need to drink to have fun,
- 30:19Speaker 2: and yeah, I mean it's not gonna I remember when
- 30:22Speaker 2: I hired a coach, a nutrition coach, and he sent
- 30:25Speaker 2: me the email kind of like, you know, laying everything
- 30:27Speaker 2: out and at the end it said, I'm not going
- 30:29Speaker 2: to tell you that you cannot drink alcohol. You're a
- 30:32Speaker 2: grown adult, but I will tell you that alcohol will
- 30:35Speaker 2: one hundred percent hold.
- 30:36Speaker 3: You back from your goals.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Wow, let's go to our resident young person on the show,
- 30:41Speaker 2: producer Riley.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Do you drink?
- 30:43Speaker 1: Not really?
- 30:44Speaker 11: But also I think a lot of times people are
- 30:47Speaker 11: realizing that they can have fun without drinking, which is
- 30:49Speaker 11: a big thing. You can go to a club and
- 30:51Speaker 11: have a lot of fun on the dance floor with
- 30:52Speaker 11: your friends without having to drink. But I do think
- 30:55Speaker 11: that the money thing is like the biggest thing. Even
- 30:58Speaker 11: mocktails are expensive now, sometimes like two dollars less than
- 31:01Speaker 11: a drink with alcohol in it, and you're like, there's
- 31:03Speaker 11: no alcohol, why is this so expensive? Yeah, but I
- 31:06Speaker 11: know a lot of people, like I have a friend
- 31:07Speaker 11: that lives in Nashville, and she'll go out and put
- 31:10Speaker 11: like nips in her bra and then order like a
- 31:12Speaker 11: soda or a like a lemonade or something while she's
- 31:15Speaker 11: there and make her own drink because of the cost
- 31:18Speaker 11: because it's cheaper, but you're still having something in your
- 31:21Speaker 11: hand to sip.
- 31:21Speaker 2: On while you're there.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Who wants to pay twenty five dollars for a glass
- 31:24Speaker 1: of wine?
- 31:25Speaker 2: Well more right, Yeah, I know. I mean my wife
- 31:28Speaker 2: and I don't drink. We go out to eat and
- 31:30Speaker 2: we're like, imagine if we drank, what the bill would
- 31:32Speaker 2: have been.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Oh yeah, If you look at your bill at the
- 31:35Speaker 3: end of a dinner, if like it's a four people
- 31:37Speaker 3: or six people, most of the bill is the drinks.
- 31:41Speaker 2: Yes, it's crazy.
- 31:43Speaker 3: And again they're reorganizing businesses and bars and restaurants to
- 31:48Speaker 3: account for the fact that fewer and feber some of
- 31:50Speaker 3: them have closed down because people stop drinking. Young people
- 31:53Speaker 3: going to clubs and nightclubs, right.
- 31:54Speaker 1: They're retooling the concepts so they're.
- 31:56Speaker 3: Still going out. Oh it's not drinking. It's not for drinks.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Yeah, not to mention.
- 32:02Speaker 11: If you're going to like a nightclub and you want
- 32:03Speaker 11: to go to like multiple clubs, you have to pay
- 32:06Speaker 11: an entrance fee every time, and sometimes it's like twenty
- 32:08Speaker 11: bucks to get in. So that's like one drink right there,
- 32:11Speaker 11: just to get in. No wonder, people don't want to.
- 32:13Speaker 3: Drink, and young people are having a tough enough time
- 32:16Speaker 3: just to maintain an apartment I know, let alone go
- 32:19Speaker 3: out and spend twenty five twenty eight bucks a drink,
- 32:21Speaker 3: especially if we live in the city. It's so expensive.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Rent is so expensive, And I think about it, Riley never,
- 32:26Speaker 2: I've actually never seen you drink, now that I.
- 32:28Speaker 11: Think about it, Yeah, probably not. I just I think
- 32:31Speaker 11: that I'm like a fun person without it. So I
- 32:34Speaker 11: really just don't feel the need. And it's not like
- 32:36Speaker 11: a health thing. It's like half the time it's a
- 32:38Speaker 11: money thing. But the other times it's just like you
- 32:40Speaker 11: don't feel like I just don't care enough to.
- 32:43Speaker 3: I got to tell you, all three of my boys
- 32:44Speaker 3: they don't drink. And if you go somewhere where my
- 32:47Speaker 3: three boys are, they're the life of the party. Alex
- 32:49Speaker 3: not a single drink. Alex will dance up a storm alone.
- 32:52Speaker 9: I dance.
- 32:53Speaker 3: I want to go to a wedding that Yes, I.
- 32:55Speaker 5: Actually went to a wedding and all three of them
- 32:57Speaker 5: were there and they all took their shirts off.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're on the dance.
- 33:00Speaker 3: Now, they're wrestling on the completely.
- 33:03Speaker 2: So yeah, they were at a wedding this past weekend.
- 33:05Speaker 2: I was watching all the clips. It was Alex with
- 33:07Speaker 2: the microphone on the dance floor. And sometimes it's not
- 33:10Speaker 2: even a microphone. It's just like a hair brush or something,
- 33:12Speaker 2: and he's entertaining the whole wedding. Really, yeah, it's crazy,
- 33:15Speaker 2: that's really funny.
- 33:16Speaker 1: I still like a class of wine.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Yeah, so do I an occasional cosmo. You don't have
- 33:21Speaker 3: to not drink.
- 33:22Speaker 11: Yeah, And that's why people I think are drinking at
- 33:24Speaker 11: home more, which I know that sounds a little bit weird,
- 33:26Speaker 11: but like it's definitely cheaper to go out and get
- 33:28Speaker 11: a six pack than it is to go to a club.
- 33:31Speaker 2: And then you know, true, definitely definitely. All right, Well,
- 33:34Speaker 2: we want to know what you think our listening audience.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Do you not drink? Do you drink? Like, why don't
- 33:40Speaker 2: you drink?
- 33:41Speaker 3: Is it hell?
- 33:41Speaker 2: Does it saving money? We want to know eight seven
- 33:44Speaker 2: seven six one seven. We'd love to hear you on
- 33:47Speaker 2: the talkbacks on the iHeart app that little red microphone.
- 33:50Speaker 5: Now it's Topic Time with a Billy and Lisa in
- 33:54Speaker 5: the morning.
- 33:54Speaker 3: Topic Time presented by Catches, a law group the personal
- 33:57Speaker 3: injury experts. He catches law dot com. If you've been
- 33:59Speaker 3: in on the job, by the way, no fault of yours.
- 34:02Speaker 3: You can set up an absolutely free consult at Catcherslaw
- 34:06Speaker 3: dot com. So we're heading into the long fourth of
- 34:08Speaker 3: July weekend. Everybody plans backyard parties, pool side parties, they're
- 34:11Speaker 3: going to the beach, they're dragging coolers, whatever. And there's
- 34:15Speaker 3: a report out this morning. I think we saw this
- 34:17Speaker 3: coming that more and more people, especially young people, are
- 34:20Speaker 3: either not drinking anymore or drinking a lot less. And
- 34:25Speaker 3: we kicked off the conversation. Let's continue it with Lisa,
- 34:28Speaker 3: who's calling in from West Roxbury.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Lisa, what's your story, good one.
- 34:34Speaker 13: I was basically a liability when I was drinking.
- 34:36Speaker 14: I was a liability to my friends. I mean, I
- 34:38Speaker 14: was three sheets for the wind every single time. I
- 34:41Speaker 14: thought I was a party animal when I was drinking.
- 34:43Speaker 14: I don't think anymore. I enjoy dancing so much more.
- 34:47Speaker 14: I enjoyed the entertainment. I feel the music even more.
- 34:51Speaker 14: There's no need for me to ever drink ever again,
- 34:53Speaker 14: which I will not. But back in the day, I mean,
- 34:57Speaker 14: I probably spend almost two and ared bucks a week
- 34:59Speaker 14: for drinking. And now it's like I have money in
- 35:02Speaker 14: my pocket now and I enjoy it. I enjoy it
- 35:04Speaker 14: now just like your son is party animal.
- 35:05Speaker 3: Yep. So a combination of the cost as well, that's
- 35:09Speaker 3: the fact that you don't just don't want to drink anymore.
- 35:13Speaker 14: Woman will cover an alcoholics so I will never drink again.
- 35:16Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, she's allergic to it like me. Congratulations.
- 35:20Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Well, you know you cross a line, right, It's like,
- 35:25Speaker 2: you know, normal as you have a drink or too,
- 35:27Speaker 2: and that's fine. But if you have to keep drinking
- 35:28Speaker 2: until you're completely plastered and making bad decisions and bad choices,
- 35:32Speaker 2: that's a problem.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Once you're getting sloppy and offending people and acting ridiculous,
- 35:37Speaker 3: it's time to revisit yourself.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely. But there's many reasons why they're not drinking, right,
- 35:42Speaker 2: we talked about them. It's you know, like you said,
- 35:44Speaker 2: it's could be fitness, could be health, could be the money,
- 35:47Speaker 2: could be have a problem.
- 35:48Speaker 4: You know, I'm not a big drinker. I mean, right now,
- 35:51Speaker 4: I'm not drinking because I'm breastfeeding or whatever. Excuse me
- 35:55Speaker 4: I'm talking.
- 35:57Speaker 3: I also have you know, I love her so much.
- 36:00Speaker 3: This person's name. I'm gonna mock this down, kids.
- 36:03Speaker 4: But even before that, you know, I didn't really like
- 36:06Speaker 4: drinking that much because I'd rather eat a dessert.
- 36:10Speaker 8: I'd rather eat a massive dessert than drink my calories
- 36:14Speaker 8: and the hangover is not worth it.
- 36:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm the same. And the cost is such a
- 36:19Speaker 3: big part of it.
- 36:20Speaker 5: Now.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Again, you know, if you're drinking and you think you're
- 36:23Speaker 3: drinking a lot, just check your bill when it comes
- 36:25Speaker 3: to the table and you'll see the majority of it
- 36:27Speaker 3: it's for the booths.
- 36:28Speaker 1: And the other thing is the poor. When you see
- 36:30Speaker 1: like this was twenty five dollars, an looks like it's
- 36:32Speaker 1: like like two ounces.
- 36:34Speaker 3: Funny, you should mention that that's another factor. Now when
- 36:37Speaker 3: you go out to a bar or a restaurant, the
- 36:38Speaker 3: poor is very small. They they're making the drinks weaker
- 36:43Speaker 3: because they're not making as much money on the boots. Yeah.
- 36:47Speaker 2: You know, when we go out together and I gorge
- 36:50Speaker 2: myself in food, that's because I don't drink, so you know,
- 36:54Speaker 2: it's all I have left is the food.
- 36:55Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, Bill.
- 36:57Speaker 8: Excuse me, I'm talking take it Easypy Thursday. This is
- 37:02Speaker 8: Kim great book Club last night.
- 37:04Speaker 4: So you did amazing.
- 37:05Speaker 8: But as far as the drinks go, right now, I'm
- 37:07Speaker 8: on a one drink when I go out, maybe two,
- 37:11Speaker 8: A couple of summers ago, we had to bang up
- 37:12Speaker 8: some night, my whole family down at Monte Cristo's and
- 37:15Speaker 8: Maana met if you know, you know, next day was
- 37:18Speaker 8: a beautiful beach day. Everyone moseah. I couldn't get off
- 37:20Speaker 8: the deck. I couldn't even sit up. So my family
- 37:23Speaker 8: nicknamed me Verity. And if you've read the book, Verity
- 37:25Speaker 8: is bed written. So yeah, my main Verity has stuck.
- 37:28Speaker 8: So no more hangover.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to know when to stop it. But no,
- 37:36Speaker 3: you got a picture of Verity. She just lays in
- 37:38Speaker 3: the bed. She's a mobile.
- 37:41Speaker 12: So I haven't really been drinking right now due to
- 37:43Speaker 12: like fitness stuff. But I also was like, yeah, this
- 37:47Speaker 12: will like save me money in the meantime, which is
- 37:49Speaker 12: great because I know how expensive it is, like you
- 37:51Speaker 12: guys said, And then also just I do agree that
- 37:56Speaker 12: you can have fun without drinking, but it's hard when
- 37:58Speaker 12: you're like with your friends still that a drinking and
- 38:01Speaker 12: you're the only one that's sober, so that's kind of tough,
- 38:03Speaker 12: and everyone's making fun of like, ooh, I'm Ellie, and
- 38:05Speaker 12: I can have this one vodka soda because it has
- 38:07Speaker 12: ninety calories in it. But when I'm shouted and they're
- 38:09Speaker 12: not who cares?
- 38:10Speaker 3: Yeah, who cares? Ali?
- 38:12Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 38:12Speaker 3: And again for young people, you read the stories all
- 38:15Speaker 3: the time they came and in ford or department. Some
- 38:17Speaker 3: of them are moving back home with their parents. And
- 38:19Speaker 3: it's expensive out there, and liquors a big part of it,
- 38:22Speaker 3: huge part of it.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like what you're trying to make rent,
- 38:25Speaker 2: put food on the table. You're not gonna be going
- 38:27Speaker 2: to the club and spending two hundred dollars in a
- 38:29Speaker 2: night on alcohol so expensive.
- 38:31Speaker 10: I don't think it has as much to do with
- 38:33Speaker 10: fitness and money as it does with like phones and
- 38:35Speaker 10: social media. I think millennials were, you know, drinking and
- 38:40Speaker 10: getting confidence and that they looked great and they're dance moods,
- 38:43Speaker 10: were killing it. And this generation is looking back at
- 38:46Speaker 10: the videos of them from the night before and they're like, ew,
- 38:49Speaker 10: I'm never drinking again.
- 38:52Speaker 2: And I'm telling you yeah.
- 38:53Speaker 3: I've talked to a lot of business owners, nightclub owners,
- 38:56Speaker 3: and they have been shifting in a big.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Way to retooling their concepts.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Yeah, it was always about the booze, and they keep
- 39:05Speaker 3: telling me fewer and fewer young people are drinking, and
- 39:08Speaker 3: if they are, they're drinking less, or they're drinking at
- 39:11Speaker 3: home and then going out.
- 39:12Speaker 2: I mean what she just said. Thank god, there wasn't
- 39:17Speaker 2: you know, as many phones with video cameras like when
- 39:20Speaker 2: I was drinking. Oh boy, I mean completely embarrassing, so
- 39:24Speaker 2: that she could have a point there. You know, all
- 39:27Speaker 2: the phone, social media, everything gets posted. It's just a
- 39:29Speaker 2: different world.
- 39:30Speaker 15: Good morning again, kiss when it wake through.
- 39:32Speaker 1: As far as drinking.
- 39:33Speaker 15: Goes, let me tell you something.
- 39:35Speaker 3: I like to drink.
- 39:37Speaker 4: We own a boat.
- 39:38Speaker 1: It kind of goes along with boating drinking.
- 39:42Speaker 7: But you're right, especially in Gloucester.
- 39:45Speaker 15: If you get a drink in Gloucester, they give you
- 39:48Speaker 15: probably a third of an ounce of alcohol and charge
- 39:52Speaker 15: you fourteen dollars for Tito's and soda.
- 39:56Speaker 1: Hell no, bring your nips.
- 40:00Speaker 3: Stuff him in your bra. Did producer Riley say on
- 40:04Speaker 3: this show a few minutes ago that she has a
- 40:06Speaker 3: friend that puts nips in her and a lot of
- 40:08Speaker 3: people do that. Wow, talk about it.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Don't you stick out?
- 40:11Speaker 2: It's got to be uncomfortable, right.
- 40:13Speaker 3: I guess, I mean even I don't know.
- 40:14Speaker 1: I've never worn a bra, but it probably makes things
- 40:17Speaker 1: look a little weird.
- 40:18Speaker 2: I guess maybe if you wore like a shirt bill.
- 40:22Speaker 4: Excuse me, I'm talking.
- 40:27Speaker 1: A lot of people don't drink anymore.
- 40:28Speaker 8: Also because the smart device is like you're walking.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Because yeah, same, yeah, exactly like the smart devices, the watches,
- 40:36Speaker 2: things like that. Technology has an impact on it as well. Wow, okay, yeah.
- 40:42Speaker 3: No the caddy here.
- 40:43Speaker 4: I don't know about all this talk about drinking, but
- 40:45Speaker 4: I'm going to be drinking.
- 40:47Speaker 9: A lot out in the golf course today.
- 40:49Speaker 3: I'm gonna say hydrated. Come on, homies, Yeah, hydrated means
- 40:54Speaker 3: water or electrolytes.
- 40:56Speaker 2: I don't think it means Yeah, that'll dehydrate you drink
- 41:00Speaker 2: too much?
- 41:01Speaker 3: You drink water? Noah, Please, we need you out there.
- 41:04Speaker 2: You know, when is it too early to have a
- 41:05Speaker 2: glass of.
- 41:06Speaker 3: No, you can't have any more. We know this. We've
- 41:08Speaker 3: talked about this endlessly on this show. It's too much
- 41:11Speaker 3: for you. Well, I just had a couple of chips
- 41:15Speaker 3: of wine and at least a gunoman pointed out, I'm
- 41:19Speaker 3: already loopy. I'm sorry, that's just who I am.
