  Speaker 1: 208.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It's the best of Billy and Lisa in the morning.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: It's Saturday morning. You know what that means.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The best of Billy and Lisa in the morning.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: I'm producer Riley going to count down the top five
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: moments of the week with you. I'm going to catch
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: you up on all the best bits that you might
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: have missed because this was a really funny week on
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: the Billy and Lisa show. So let's kick it off
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: with one of our topic times from this week. We
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: had a DM from somebody asking us for advice. Lisa,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: read the DM.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, Billy and Lisa, I have a dilemma I need
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: help with. I was asked to be in my friend's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: wedding party for her wedding next summer. I would love
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to be in the wedding, but the problem is she
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: owes me $ 800 from a trip we took together last year.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Help me.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: What do I do?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, this is a tough one. This is a tough one.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Because if she's being asked to be in the wedding,
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: my guess is there's probably going to be a destination
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: bachelorette party. The wedding itself is going to be costly, right?
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: The shower.
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:04
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: There's going to be money that will be spent.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Right. And she's already out $ 800. She's already in the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: hole starting this whole process out. And the fact that
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: they haven't had a conversation around why she still owes
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: $ 800 is the part that's getting me on this.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: So should she be in the wedding or not?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that she should. This would just be
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: my opinion. Have the conversation with her friend about the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: money from the trip and, you know, start the conversation
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: off nice thing. I so excited that you asked me
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to be in your wedding. Right.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Smooth it over.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: No, but like this is such an honor. Um, I,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you remember, but we still have
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that $ 800, you know, thing going on. So maybe we
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: can figure something out and then I'd love to move
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: forward and help you plan like the best day of
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: your life.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: It's going to be an uncomfortable conversation.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It's going to be uncomfortable, but they have to get
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: over that because again, it's like $ 800 is a lot
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of money.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So you agree, Bill, with lease?
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Um, see, I'm thinking she should just say, no, thank you.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And not bring up the money.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Um, I don't know.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just say no thanks, but I just feel a
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: little uncomfortable because there's a situation here. And then it
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: all gets really weird anyway. There's no comfortable way around this,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I don't think.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Right, but here's the thing. The focus right now is
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: she needs to get her money, okay? She needs to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: get her $ 800 back. Let's just, like, start from zero.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So she has to have the uncomfortable conversation.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: See, I'm on the opposite side. I would say yes,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and I would do it, and I wouldn't even bring
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it up. Until after.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: And then how would you bring it up after?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Well, then you can have a conversation and, you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: maybe try to smooth it over.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: But what are you going to call her on the honeymoon?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It was my friend. I wouldn't want to ruin their
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: big day. And, you know, it's a big moment in life.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I would just I would just suck it up, do it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And then maybe after bring up the money.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: But again, we don't know if this person like what
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: their financial situation is. So the $ 800, obviously she's still
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: holding onto it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Because she's like, she still owes me from a year ago.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So I think you can start off the conversation and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: just bring it up.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Or how about she gives a wedding gift.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: But in the envelope, it's an invoice. There's an option, right?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Because then all is said and done. They had the wedding.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Everybody's happy. And just put a little bill in there.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: Make it a nice wedding card, a lovely wedding card.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much for involving me. By the way,
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: this is my bill for the $ 800 vacation tab.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Well, you might as well just send a Venmo request.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Or that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Send a Venmo request.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Congrats on the wedding. What a beautiful event it was.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Again, you can have a nice conversation and start out
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and be like, I'm so excited that you want me
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to be in your wedding.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Like you're a good friend of mine.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: The trouble with that, at least, though, is that when
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: does it sound like an ultimatum?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's an ultimatum. I think obviously they–
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, again– If you owe your friend $ 800, I
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: don't know about you.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: That's a lot of money.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It's a lot, though. That's a lot of money.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And that would weigh on me if I owed someone
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that kind of money.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: And if she asks about the $ 800 in the middle
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: of this whole wedding thing, the bride-to-be is going to
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: turn it on her.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Right? It's not going.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: To end well. It's possible. Producer Riley, you're in the situation.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I think as much as we always say that I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the kind of person that would be like, give me
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the money. I feel like I kind of agree with you, Justin,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: especially if it's a really good.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Friend of mine.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I would want to be I would feel sad to
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: not be part of it. Like if it's a good
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: friend of mine, I would want I would want to
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: be part of her big day. And then after I
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: feel like I'd be like, now that you have all
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: this wedding money, you you owe me a debt.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Now that you've collected all this cash as presents, can
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I have my cash.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Back, please?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good idea.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: You know how they have some weddings? Some weddings, I think,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: still have the velvet bag.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: You know, where people put the envelopes in the velvet bag.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: She can just sneak her envelope into the velvet bag
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: with a little invoice.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: By the way, great time. Thank you so much for
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: letting me be a part of it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're flush in cash now.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Show me the money. Wow. Here you go.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Riley, just say what you would do. Just say it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Can you not just pull a Riley and charge her
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: on Venmo?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we know that's what you would do. That's the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: classic Riley.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: The number four moment here. We had a DM from
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: a listener asking us for some advice. She got invited
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to be in her friend's wedding, but that friend owes
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: her $ 800.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So what does she do?
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: This is going to be an uncomfortable wedding. Let's go
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: right to the phones. Carrie is calling in from Weymouth.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Carrie. What do you think about this DM?
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: Good morning.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: I think that you could possibly just tell her, hey,
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: because I loaned you that money, I don't really have
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: the money to be in the wedding. However, if you
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: want to pay for my dress and the activities, I
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: can deduct it from the amount that you owe me.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: That's actually a pretty good solution right there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: That's a good idea.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: It's like, oh, yeah, don't forget you owe me $ 800.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: So if you want to put the.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: $ 800 toward what I have to pay to be a
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: part of your.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Wedding, that would be awesome.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's a really good solution.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: You know what, Carrie? You know who you are? You're
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the voice of reason.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: You know what, Charlie? You're a problem solver.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: All of that and more.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: See, I'm on the opposite end of this. I'm not
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: saying anything. I'm just going to do it, suck it up,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and then have the conversation after. But I'm not going
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to mess up the wedding, the big day.
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It's just me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: But do you realize how many people who are going
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: to be at that wedding have had a conversation privately
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: with our DMer about this dilemma?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Probably lots.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: And they're all sitting around buzzing. So what they end
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: up doing about that money, she owed so-and-so.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I think the fact that the person who DM'd us
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: is mentioning the $ 800 means this is an important thing
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to her. And maybe she doesn't have all that extra
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: money to just kind of go along with the wedding
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and then ask for it after. I just think tough
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: conversations around money are the one thing that always splits
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: people up.
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: I completely agree with Lisa.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: And to be honest, I hate being in weddings. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 11: just want to be a guest. I don't want to
• 7:29
  Speaker 11: be asked.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I absolutely hate it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 11: I hate the money involved. I hate all the bridezilla stuff.
• 7:36
  Speaker 11: But honestly, I totally agree with Lisa, and she needs
• 7:39
  Speaker 11: to have this conversation ASAP.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I'm getting scared for her. Yeah.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, shame on the friend, right? Shame on the friend.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You know, for not paying the 800 bucks, first of all.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Well, it's possible the friend forgot about the $ 800, but
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: I doubted this was a group trip or something.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: And I don't know. Yeah, she's supposed to Venmo the money.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It was a group trip. It was owed to her.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So that's that's where the $ 800 came from.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I think she knows she owes her $ 800. Again, it's
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: not $ 20, right?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of dough.
• 8:14
  Speaker 12: Could open it up to her friend and ask her.
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: If she wants to pay her before or after the
• 8:21
  Speaker 11: wedding or maybe half and half.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, 50-50.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be a good solution.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, if she brings it up to the bride-to-be,
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: the bride-to-be is going to turn it on her.
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: Hmm.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: How dare you do this around my wedding?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Now you're going to bring up the eight hundred dollars.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Now with my I'm asking you to be in my
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: wedding and you want to bring up the eight hundred dollars.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm not saying she's right, but that's how
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: it's going to be dealt with.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. I also got a kick out
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of producer Riley's comments about wait until the gifts.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: She's flush with cash.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Full of cash.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Well, then if she still doesn't give it to you, then,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you know, like she's no longer your friend.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Then you just walk away.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I'm with Justin.
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: I wouldn't want to ruin her big day with bringing
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: that up before everything. And not to mention when you
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: lend money to friends, unfortunately, you have to expect that
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: you're not going to.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Get it back.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I think that. I think that, again, it's an $ 800 trip.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I think you do expect to get that money back.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Or, or.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, would you expect your friend to pay for
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a trip for you, Justin?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: No.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Producer Riley, would you expect your friend Kelly to pay
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: $ 800 for a trip?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: No, I would expect that money back, and I would
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: expect to be giving it to her.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: If it was Rolls-Royce. Maybe the bride-to-be is planning on giving.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Her the $ 800 when she's flush with cash from the wedding.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Maybe that's been her plan all along.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what?
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Even the husband-to-be, she probably told him, you know, once
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: we get our wedding money, I do have to take
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: eight hundred dollars out to get to so-and-so.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: And you know what here's hoping that that they do
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you know that would be good yeah then my plan
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: would work there so if you don't say anything but
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: then if you don't get paid after that yeah then
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you got to have the real conversation let's go to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: diane and salem line two good.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Morning diane what do you think about this dilemma.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: I think it's pretty easy. I think that she should
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: definitely not make a scene about anything, and she should
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: tell her friend that she would love to be in
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: the wedding if she wants to. And then when she
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: gives her her wedding card, she should write in the
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: wedding card, instead of $ 800, you only owe me X,
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: whatever she wants to give her.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, see, that was my thing. You've got to say,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: nice little wedding card, beautiful ceremony.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I love the wedding. Everybody had a ball. By the way,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Here's my bill.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I just think that's bizarre, right?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Here's my bill. What, are you going to handwrite it?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Like I accept what, checks?
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: $ 800 for the San Juan trip or Acapulco.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And then they write back, I owe you.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: Regarding the owed money, I feel like I would try
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: to give her the benefit of the doubt, like it
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: slipped her mind. I mean, $ 800 is a lot of
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: money to forget about, but if they're good enough friends
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: that she asked her to be in the wedding, they
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: should be good enough friends to have a conversation. Other
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: than that, she could send her a Venmo request and.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: See what happens. That's Riley's thing. Just send a Venmo request.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: It's all about Venmo.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Just let Venmo do it for you.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Just hit the Venmo request. That's it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 10: Guys, all you have to do is say... Hey, Jessica. Oh,
• 11:47
  Speaker 10: thank you for including me in your plans for your wedding. Unfortunately,
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: I'm a little short on cash to the tune of
• 11:53
  Speaker 10: like 800 bucks. So yeah, you want to get that
• 11:57
  Speaker 10: back to me, you know, at your earliest convenience, then
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: I can start splurging on your big day.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Let's get right into the number three moment because we
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: brought back two of our favorite interns.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: It's return of the interns. Brad and Ted were in
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: studio this week. And boy, were we laughing the entire time.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting here across from you and hearing your story.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: This message is so important. What you're doing is so
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: of the moment to the world, to the world.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: But as I'm sitting here listening to you talk about
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: your company, I'm only seeing you the last time I
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: saw you went for the radio show as an intern.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: We sent you to New York City on a bus
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: early morning, naked, wearing just underwear with no money and
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: no ID.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Angel wings. And angel wings.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, and angel wings.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: We were sending him to the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: In his underpants. Fighting for justice.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: No, and the fact that you got on the bus
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: with nothing on and no money, I still to this day.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: How did that end up? I forget. Were you jailed? No, no, no.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: There were no charges were pressed.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I got on the bus.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: One of Lisa's friends, I think, met me at the bus.
• 13:17
  Speaker 13: And I thought this kind gentleman was going to take
• 13:20
  Speaker 13: me in, maybe give me sweatpants or something. He gave
• 13:23
  Speaker 13: me like 50 bucks and said.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I got to go.
• 13:26
  Speaker 13: And so then I was like, OK, I guess next step.
• 13:29
  Speaker 13: So I ended up having to sneak into another friend
• 13:31
  Speaker 13: of Lisa's house or friend in New York who had
• 13:34
  Speaker 13: like a co-op. And he was like, all right, well,
• 13:35
  Speaker 13: we got to get in because like if they see
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: me bring you in, they're going to.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Be like, what's going on?
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: You're still in your underwear.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm in my underwear.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: And then he's wearing the wings.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: Great.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, what am I going to do? Carry him around?
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: That'd be weird.
• 13:48
  Speaker 14: I picked him up Saturday morning in Chinatown. He was
• 13:52
  Speaker 14: still in his underwear. Because he was on the Fung
• 13:55
  Speaker 14: Wah bus, whatever that was called.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: The Feng Shui. Whatever that was.
• 13:58
  Speaker 13: Yeah, because I took the Fung Wah bus down and
• 14:00
  Speaker 13: then had an adventure, tried to get on TRL back
• 14:03
  Speaker 13: in the day.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:03
  Speaker 13: You know, I told everyone I was the cousin of
• 14:06
  Speaker 13: the Naked Cowboy, if you remember that guy.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: And Times Square.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:10
  Speaker 13: So I was just traipsing around Times Square on my
• 14:11
  Speaker 13: wing saying, yeah, you've met my cousin, the Naked Cowboy,
• 14:14
  Speaker 13: so on and so forth. And then, you know, when
• 14:16
  Speaker 13: it was time to go home. I just hopped on
• 14:18
  Speaker 13: the Fung Wah bus and came back home.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Now, you need to understand that I'm still sitting here
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: this many years later wondering why.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: I could tell anybody this story, and they'd be thinking
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: the same thing. Why did you send him naked in
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: his underwear with no money and no ID?
• 14:35
  Speaker 13: Well, I mean, the premise was bad, but it worked out.
• 14:38
  Speaker 13: So at the time, it was the Victoria's Secret angel wings.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I was offended that there were no male models. And
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: you looked beautiful in your wings.
• 14:48
  Speaker 13: So the objective was to go to, I think it
• 14:51
  Speaker 13: was Downtown Crossing, and get signatures to support the first
• 14:54
  Speaker 13: male model there. To join the Victoria's Secret Parade. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 13: I was like, I got my underwear on, I got
• 14:58
  Speaker 13: my wings, I got my clipboard. And it was, I mean,
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: to say a segment was going poorly. Would be like
• 15:05
  Speaker 13: it was bombing.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: It was not.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: It was like all of us.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I remember this.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: All of a sudden you were still in New York
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: and we forgot. Like we just left you there and
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: never talked about it again.
• 15:18
  Speaker 13: I didn't know what was going to happen because the
• 15:21
  Speaker 13: segment's bombing. I end up finding this young woman. We
• 15:23
  Speaker 13: engage and then she's.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Going on the bus.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And back in the studio, like get.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: On the bus, go on the bus, see if you
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: can go on the bus.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:30
  Speaker 13: Now I'm, I'm following instruction. I'm being a good soldier.
• 15:33
  Speaker 13: I'm asking her all these questions. Eventually the bus driver comes,
• 15:35
  Speaker 13: he's like, listen, you need to leave the young lady alone.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: You need to sit up front.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: She's going to be in the back.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And then my phone is dying. And this is back
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: in like Star Tech days. Oh, yeah.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Remember those phones? Oh, God, yeah.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: My phone is dying.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: This preceded the flip phone, I think.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 13: Another intern, Barbara, had been like, here's like $ 10, all
• 15:54
  Speaker 13: the money she had.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: In the world. Like, here you go.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Good luck. And I was like, you're not coming? She's like, no.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? And then I'm like, all right,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: so my phone is dying.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: The show is ending.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: We just went home. We forgot it happened.
• 16:10
  Speaker 15: I know.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: And he's in New York in his underwear.
• 16:12
  Speaker 13: I mean, I think the last call I got, like
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: the last phone call that went through was with Lisa.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 13: And she was like, OK, I got a friend. He's
• 16:19
  Speaker 13: going to meet you. I'm like, all right, well, my
• 16:20
  Speaker 13: phone's going to die and I've got no money.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Like, OK, great.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, now.
• 16:24
  Speaker 13: It's like 11 and it's 12.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: It's one of my everybody's at home.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: So, Ted, you've got the biggest fruit and produce company
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: in the world, I think, right now with cats.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Your trucks are everywhere.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Now, we had an incident that you and I had
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: to do when you were here, I think, still intern status.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Still intern.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: And somehow I think the show The Amazing Race or
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: something was just starting.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: So they sent the two of us, you and me, blindfolded.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: With nothing.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: In our pockets, blindfolded into the woods somewhere. And obviously
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: we didn't know where we were going.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: No idea.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: And then left us in the middle of the woods
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: and took off and we had to find our way back.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we split that. We did it twice. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: won the first one. You won the second one.
• 17:07
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: How did I win? I think I somehow lucked out.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I think you just started running. I think you just
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: like ran. You just figured out where you were and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you're just like, I'm just going to go.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: You ran your way out of the woods.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Picture how scary that is. We didn't know the
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: woods where we were.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: We were blindfolded and we woke up and were surrounded
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: by trees and had to find our way out of
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: the woods and.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Then get a ride back from like Western Massachusetts.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So you guys hitchhiked. I hitchhiked.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:33
  Speaker 14: A truck driver pulled over. I had a story that
• 17:37
  Speaker 14: he believed and picked me up and Brought me to
• 17:39
  Speaker 14: Wilmington Station.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I got picked up by a landscape truck, I think.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a delivery truck.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: He brought me as far as Kenmore Square. And I
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: still had to get from Kenmore.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I think you literally ran like the last three or
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: five miles.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Just to beat your ass.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you did. You were not happy that I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: won the first one.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Justin, you got your hand?
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to go back to Brad for a second.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: One more question.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: Was it boxer shorts underwear or was it tighty-whities underwear?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Because I'm still working on the visual.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: It was underpants.
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: Well, it was the hybrid, so it was the boxer briefs.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm, yeah. I hate that I don't remember that.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: It's awful. Yeah, I'm so ashamed of myself right now.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I know, but I have to say, look at you
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: guys now.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, things worked out.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: It builds character.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: He was willing to get on the bus in his underpants.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was trying to find the stunt online. I
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: did look it up on ChatGPT, and it's on here.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: Oh, is it?
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: The show's crew took a young man, dressed him up
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: completely as a mysterious secret runway model. I want him
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to parade around in full gear, complete with massive feathered wings. Okay.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Are you serious?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I thought this was like just.
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: Enough pre-internet that it could be lost forever.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: No, it's there. I'm looking at it. Oh, my God.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Wow. It lives there.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: It's listed as one of the famous bits, most famous
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: bits on this show.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Well, there you go. Bragging rights, Brad.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Now I'm famous.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: And you know what else fascinates me? That the two
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: of you were best friends then. Yeah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: You remained best friends all these years.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: And now you both have extremely successful businesses, and you're
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: doing business together, right, Ted?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: How so?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So Katsaru's Brothers is the source and partner for Morrissey Market.
• 19:21
  Speaker 14: So the food that goes through the medically tailored boxes
• 19:24
  Speaker 14: that go through the supply chain come through our warehouse.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: So are you making Brad more money, or is Brad
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: making you more money? A little inside question there.
• 19:34
  Speaker 14: I was going to say, I don't think that this
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: is exactly work that you do to get to early retirement.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: This is something that you have to believe in.
• 19:41
  Speaker 14: You got to have the passion for it and you
• 19:42
  Speaker 14: have to see the value in what it does for
• 19:44
  Speaker 14: the sure for everyone.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: So, yeah.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Welcome back into the best ability and Lisa in the morning.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: It's producer Riley counting down the top five moments of
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: the week with you. And we love to sometimes just
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: get grievances off our chest with you guys. And that's
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: what this topic time was.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Friendship. Red flags.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about asking Bill about, you know, this
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: weekend with plans, but I'm not sure I might not
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: be able to be around. There's a good chance I will.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: But if you cancel on Billy, it's like you're dead
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to him.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, you are. You hate it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: It's such a red flag to me and it happens
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: all the time. You know, people, it's not my idea,
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: you know, to get together or do something. They contact
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: us and they want to do something and we make
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: a plan and then they cancel.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: And now I'm doing nothing. I could have gone anywhere.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: I could have done anything. Now I'm doing nothing.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Which is funny to me because you are very fun
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to hang out with. You're actually one of the most
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: fun guys I know. Okay, Ron.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I always want to hang out with you.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: But you always seem busy.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: I'm so busy, which makes it more of a red flag.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: It's like a neon red flag, right?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, I could have gone here. I wanted to go there,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: and now we made.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: A plan, and they didn't show up. Yeah, at least
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, I went on the boat, right?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: So we made the plans a week in advance. Every
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: day he asked me, hey, you still coming?
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Hey, you still coming?
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: I've got another one. I know we're going to go
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: around the room. I know we're going to take calls,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: but I've got another one, and this one really gets me.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: When somebody calls you for a favor, okay? Yeah. They
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: want tickets for something or they want you to help
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: make a reservation for dinner.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: So I go out of my way. I call restaurant owners.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: I call restaurant general managers. I call people in the
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: music business for tickets.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: I call them.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, I got you the tickets or I've got you
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: all set for a reservation. They say, oh, we made
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: another plan.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: What? What?
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Or they called someone else over your head. OK, now
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting here with the tickets I didn't want.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: And I gave up a favor for.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: So you were either plan A or plan B.
• 21:40
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: In their quest to get a dinner reservation.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: But I had to go out of my way. I
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: had to sacrifice a favor. Now I don't want to
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: call that restaurant owner anymore because now he's got.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Empty seats in the restaurant.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big red flag.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: And you know what? We changed our mind. We're going.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: What?
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Hang up the phone. And don't call me again.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not easy to be Bill's friend.
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: No.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: How about you, Lisa?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: It's very stressful.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Turn it off.
• 22:06
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, my biggest thing in friendships is one-way friendships. And
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have ever had this experience,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: but about 10 years ago, there was a family. And
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: it's people that you are always making plans with. You're
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: always reaching out to. You're always suggesting things. You're always
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: inviting them over.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: And then they never reciprocate like ever, like you've had
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: them over 10 times and you're like, God, I'd love
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: to be invited over to your place. Like, I'd love
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: to see your house. And then if they don't want
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: to do that, if they don't like entertaining and they
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: don't feel comfortable, you know, just invite us out to
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: dinner or something. Say, let's meet at a restaurant.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So there's always like. Ways to do things. So, yeah,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: mine is like one way friendships because they end up
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: being no friendships at all.
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: You're always the one doing the inviting.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Always.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Always. Mine's similar to yours. It's, you know, when you
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: talk to your friends and they never ask how you're doing.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And I know that sounds strange sometimes, but it's happened
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to me where you talk to your friends and they
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: unload all of their stuff on you and you listen,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: but they never ask. Everyone has problems. Everyone has drama.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Everyone has stuff. And they never once say, hey, what's
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: going on with you? It's always them, them, them.
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: You know, that's, it drives me crazy.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: God, this conversation is triggering so more red flags in me.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: My head feels like it wants to explode.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Producer Riley, I'm afraid to ask.
• 23:31
  Speaker 15: Oh, my God.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Well, you and Lisa, I'm completely on board with both
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: of those. But I have a friend that will make
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: plans with me sometimes and then be like, oh, also
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: my boyfriend's coming. I'm like, well, I don't want to
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: hang out with your boyfriend. I want to hang out
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, they make you the third wheel.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I'm like, he can stay at home. Why is he
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: coming along? Like he's your dog.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Like leave him at home.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: It was supposed to be like a girl's night.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Couldn't get a dog sitter.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Oh man.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to add that to the list. Oh yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: That's a good one.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Let's go to Jen on
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: line one.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Hey Jen, good morning. What's your red flag with your friends?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: People that linger.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, that don't leave.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Well, we always said.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd love to have them over, but.
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: Five or six hours.
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: You've got to go home.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Well, like when you're shutting the lights off and they're
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: still sitting on the sofa. You're like, yeah, we're ready
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: for bed.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jen, I'm with you. You've got to do what
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Billy does. So what Billy does, he starts cleaning.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: That's the sign that you've got to go.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, get out.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: You know, I've been caught a couple of times recently
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: doing that, but it's not about that. It's just my OCD.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: I just want to clean off the counter or whatever.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: I'm not asking you to leave.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Right, right. There you go, Jen. I've tried every subtle move.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I've tried cleaning.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I've tried hinting.
• 24:51
  Speaker 12: I've tried I'm so tired.
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: It doesn't work.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: They just linger. They never leave.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: That's a good one.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to know when to go.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: We've always said that in this show, the key to
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: a good party is knowing when to leave.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: That's right. I do it. I do what Billy does
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: all the time. I start cleaning. Like I had a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Labor Day cookout and it was some stragglers at the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: end and it was getting to that time. I just
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: start taking the trash, putting the chairs away. And they
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: get the hint and they leave. That's what you got
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: One of my red flags for friends is when they
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: can never pronounce anyone's last name right.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: Billy.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I can add that to the list. You had to
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: put that in there? I can add that to the list, yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Marissa Hardigay.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Here it is, the number one moment of the week,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: and this one was really funny. We love when we
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: have a topic time where you guys can just have
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: a vent session. We were talking about friendship red flags.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Let's go to the phones. Ashley's on the phone from Beverly.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Ashley. What have you got?
• 25:53
  Speaker 12: Good morning. I think my biggest red flag is a
• 25:56
  Speaker 12: friend that doesn't pull their own weight. Like, you go
• 26:00
  Speaker 12: to the beach, they'll drink all the alcohol, but they
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: won't help carry anything or... They, you know, never Venmo
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: after dinner or, you know, they drink everything at the party,
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: never help to clean up. They're, you know, the first
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: one there and the last.
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: One to leave.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's actually a good one. And that's a lot
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: of them all in one. That's a good one, Ashley. Yeah,
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: there are certain friends that come.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: A road trip.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Road trip.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 26:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah, like on a road trip, they never drive or
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: they never contribute gas, but they want to be on aux.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, they want to run the music. Yeah, I know.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I feel you there. Yeah, they want to do their playlist.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: All they do, what I hate, is they play DJ.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: They don't let the song finish. They'll, you know, 30 seconds,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: they're changing it.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Skip ahead.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I hate that.
• 26:44
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Who are these people that are in your car?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, it happens all the time.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: It's the worst.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Let the song play. It's called a playlist.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I want to have 10 seconds of the song, and then,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you're going from country to rock to pop
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to rap. It's like, oh, don't get me started. I
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: definitely have to agree with Lisa and especially.
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: Lately I feel like in my friend group I'm always
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: reaching out to see what they're.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Doing and then we're hanging out and I.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: Feel like if I went silent that like I just
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: wouldn't really hear from them.
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: I also feel like lately I've been getting one of
• 27:13
  Speaker 12: those like.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah by the way I'm having people over this
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: date kind of invites and I'm like by the way
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: if I wasn't in the original invites and.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I kind of don't want to go like it always
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: feels like they kind of forgot.
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: About me and they're like oh wait maybe we should
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: invite her like am I in this friend group or
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: am I not?
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of people make last-minute plans. It's like, hey,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: what do you think we do this tomorrow? So there's
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: no time to call anybody until the last minute.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I like how she agreed with Lisa and dropped the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: by the way.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh, and by the way.
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: There we go.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: By the way.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Some stories write themselves.
• 27:44
  Speaker 15: First of all, I'd like to say that I hate
• 27:46
  Speaker 15: that you guys changed your phone number because I've had
• 27:48
  Speaker 15: that number memorized since I was, I don't know, 13.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're sorry.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: We know.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: It was long overdue. Many decades it was a 617.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Now it's 877-617-1108.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Out of our control. Yeah, it was an engineering thing. Yeah,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: we know.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: We're sorry.
• 28:02
  Speaker 15: But anyways, a friend red flag for me is when
• 28:04
  Speaker 15: you go out or get a coffee or go to
• 28:08
  Speaker 15: breakfast or whatever, and they say they'll Venmo you and
• 28:11
  Speaker 15: then they never do. And that goes back to the
• 28:15
  Speaker 15: other conversation the other day. But it's just like just Venmo.
• 28:19
  Speaker 15: Stop making people chase it.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: It's true. It's pretty common. Yeah.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Do it right away. That's like. You know what I mean?
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: A hot tip.
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: But then you fall into that position of like, did
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: they forget? Should I remind them? You know, do I
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: say anything? You know, you can send them Venmo requests
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: like producer Riley does.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Without hesitation. Oh, she said that two seconds on the
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: way home.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: From the.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Where's my money?
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: The morning morning crew. This is Cece from Nashua. One
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: of my biggest pet peeves is when you text one
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: of your friends and they don't respond to you. And
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: then you see them posting on social media at the
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: same time. Like they can post on social media, but
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: they can't answer your text.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Makes no sense to me. Oh, that's a good one, actually.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Like taking days to get back to you by text.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'm always like, you're not that busy.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Like everyone's busy.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: I think I might do that. I do that, too.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Billy does it.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Riley has not done it to me yet.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying like I try.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: To be on it. Sometimes I text and then I'll
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: text days later when I remember. But I always apologize.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: But there are people who are just terrible, terrible texters.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Who, you know, when you text them, you are not
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: getting a response anytime soon.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Am I a terrible texter? Absolutely.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Thought so.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't think you were. You always get back to
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: me pretty much.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's just Justin I'm not texting.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I'll stop texting.
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: So I've got this one where I have a friend
• 29:51
  Speaker 13: that all she does is call and get my scoop
• 29:54
  Speaker 13: and my depth and my woes.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: And when I ask her, it's her social calendar.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: It's never about her miseries, her unhappiness or her happiness,
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: but it's never her.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: It's always about her social calendar. I think that's one sided.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Very one sided.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of us have one-sided friends.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. One-way friendships where you're doing all
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: of the doing, right?
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of similar to my red flag for friendships.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: It's especially when I'm talking to a friend and I'm
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: kind of airing out some of my stuff, maybe personal
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: things going on, things about my wife, my relationship, all
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And they just never, you know what I mean? Oh,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the other way around.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: Sorry. Yeah.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, never reciprocate, you know, ask how I'm doing.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Or they come back at you with their own problems.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just you want to– I always try to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: like when someone calls me with something, especially personal, I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: always try to– it goes both ways.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I thought of another one. Oh, wow, Bill.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: You're really– you're kind of an angry person.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: I want to socialize.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Okay. Right?
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: With friends. I want to socialize. I want to go
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: someplace nice, do something fun. I don't want to come here.
• 31:09
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I knew you were going to say that. He never
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: wants to come to someone. He never wants to be invited.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: I don't want to sit in your house.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Like if I wanted to have like a dinner party,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I would not invite Bill because I know it would
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: cause him so much anxiety that he doesn't want to come.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: And I know he doesn't want to come.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: But what is it about the house?
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but it just never ends. You got
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: to come to the house. I don't want to.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: He wants to meet at a restaurant. He does not
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: want to go to your house.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Or maybe, you know, in the wintertime. I'll come by.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: That's so funny.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: He came to my house one time, dead of winter.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Very briefly.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Very briefly. It was a walkthrough.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be in a house.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: The car was left on.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Yes. Now that I think of it,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: I did leave the car running. I love your kitchen. God,
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: you have such a big yard, Justin.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Listen, I got to go.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you did.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Dead of winter. You walked right through
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: my house and back in the car.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: I said hello downstairs to everybody.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: While it was still running.
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: I just wanted to add, it drives me bananas when
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: friends get jealous that you have other friends.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: Like when your good friends are possessive over your time.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, I've had that, too. Yeah.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I have something similar going on now with that.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, really?
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Does this person know they're possessive?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: No. And the question is, should we tell them? But
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: we don't really know. People don't like that. They don't
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: like when people have other friends.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: But do you have friends who think that friend is
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: too much?
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: Yes. Oh, boy. Yeah.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: That's uncomfortable at the house party.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: What's his name coming?
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Well, you won't be there, Bill.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: You're not coming.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: You know what? It really doesn't matter.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: My pet peeve right now.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, there she go.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: What?
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: She left.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, she went away.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: She said she had a pee?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, she had a pet peeve.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Friendship red flag.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: She was getting out of the car.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: So many here.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: I think a big red flag in a friend is
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: if they can't pronounce your name and they keep mispronouncing it.
• 33:09
  Speaker 11: Like, I don't know.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: For example, if my name was Mariska Hargitay.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, God.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I'm stuck up. Yeah, if you missed that, Bill was
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: butchering Mariska Hargitay's. Now I'm butchering it. The name.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying it.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Don't say it, Bill.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I got to run. This is me wrapping up
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: the best of Billy and Lisa in the morning. Again,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: it's producer Riley. I was counting down the top five
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: moments of the week with you. Thanks for spending your
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Saturday morning here with me on Kiss 108. The countdown
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: with Billy and Justin is up next. So stick around.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: They put a lot of work into it. And we
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: are continuing the Ed Sheeran giveaway next week. Monday morning, 7,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: 10 and 8, 10. So we'll see you there.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Bye.
