  Speaker 1: Hey, guys. Welcome back to Billy and Lisa Morning Show.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's the Big Friday Show. If you will indulge me
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: for just a minute, I want to do a shout-out.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: The USS Abraham Lincoln has been out at sea on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: assignment deployment for 10 months. 10 months, 5,000 sailors on board,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: not a single port of call. The ship never pulled
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: into port. They never hit land for 10 long months.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And yesterday... The ship pulled into San Diego and it
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: was a really emotional scene. They were meeting babies for
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the first time that had been born since they left,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: seeing their wives for the first time. And there's been
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of stories leading up to it finally coming home.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the sailors were suffering from
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: mental health issues on board 10 months without hitting land.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And so I just wanted to give a shout out
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and thank you for your service there.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah, I was just watching the news
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: coverage on it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: You get emotional watching that stuff. Reunions.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's like when soldiers go to war and then they
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: come back.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And you've had children born and haven't met them.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: You ever see the ones where it'll be like a
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: child's or a graduation, a high school graduation, and they'll
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: be standing up there and then the father or the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: mother's hiding. Yeah. Oh, God.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I love those scenes.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.

  Speaker 1: It's hilarious.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Of course it's a hard rock. Of course it's a
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: hard rock for him.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, for him?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It's always about the hard rock.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 2:43
  Speaker 10: My Billy and Lisa already cheering you on.
• 2:46
  Speaker 9: And could you do something for the girls and the gays?
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: Could you wear those gold shorts you got in P-Town?
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: Have a great weekend, everyone.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: That's such a good idea.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: You totally should.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Didn't I buy those?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: You did, yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Gold lame.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: When do you break those out, Justin?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Special occasion. Showtime. Okay. I can say, though, I am
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: wearing some pretty short shorts.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I have to because there's a lot of oomph going
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: on there.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't want any friction.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: By the way, Lise, reports are coming in of some
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: things that have happened at the High Rocks this weekend
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: so far. This doesn't sound good.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Justin, I volunteered at High Rocks yesterday. I did the
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: burpee station. The first two hours, three guys vomited just
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: at my station. replace it. The other one was carrying
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: his own puke bag and proceeded to burpee with.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: His puke bag.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: This is quite the competition.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: The other day we found out somebody was pooping.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: That was a big story about like a month ago.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: It's very intense. It's very fatiguing. And yes, people do
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: throw up and they pass out and they slip.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Are you bringing a puke bag?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I am not. I don't know your pocket. I don't
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: expect that to happen. I think I'm going to be
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: well prepared. But I did see what you're tough.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: This is going to be good. You're going to do.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've been through enough. You're crazy stuff.
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You're our guy.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: The anxiety around it is really not finishing the race. And,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you know, you've done marathons. Lisa, you've been running forever.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: You know, it's the fueling up. you know, fueling enough,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: eating enough food, having enough electrolytes. I want to get
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: that right. I don't want to overdo it because, well,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: then that's what happens.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And by the way, just like a marathon, no matter
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: how much training you do, you've seen world-class elite runners, right?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: They run into trouble. The body's not made for it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So anything can happen, but you're going to be fine, buddy.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's coming up on Sunday. So if anyone's out
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: there racing, I believe that girl is racing Sunday as well.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So 140 is my wave. I'm the very last... I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: don't know if that's a good or bad thing. The
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: very last one.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: If things don't go well, are you coming in Monday?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends. I might bang out. I have a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: lot of sick time.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It might be good to take a day away from
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the crew.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't want to end up on a
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: reel that goes viral because they're all over my Instagram.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's not good.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: It's not good.
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: Kiss 108.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: All right, real or fake headlines. It's a big Friday show, Justin.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: Let's go.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: All right, real or fake, Billy and Lisa McDonald's is
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: handing out pickle juice shots to Chicago Marathon runners. Is
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that a real story or fake?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: No, Chicago Marathon is this weekend, and they're expecting 55,000 runners.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And I believe, yeah, and I believe I saw this story.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You think you did?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Lisa, you going to go with Bill here?
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I'm going with Bill.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Risky move.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: But yes.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: I know you're right.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Actually, I should actually do this because I'm racing this weekend.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: McDonald's has bottled up their pickle juice into little shots
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to give out to runners during the marathon in Chicago
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Apparently, the pickle juice is full of electrolytes
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and can help with cramp management. I'm going to need
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: some of this.
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: McDonald's pickle juice shot. McDonald's is bottling their Big Mac
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: pickle brine for the Chicago Marathon. So various locations across
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: Chicago are going to have these available on race day.
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: It is hilarious that they sent these to me because
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: I do not run marathons, nor do I really run
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: any distances. But obviously I have to try it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I did have a few cocktails last night.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: Cheers.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I am bringing mustard packets because apparently mustard packets help
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: with cramping. So if you get a cramp. and you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: put mustard in your mouth, apparently it helps with cramps.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: But that's another good tip there, the pickle juice.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, pickle juice.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I love pickles. I do, too.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Next headline. I'll be saving that. Yes, Lisa, thank you.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: If you were wondering for future use.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Next headline.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: High school softball players on opposing teams realize they are sisters.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I saw this one.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: All right, this segment is just.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: No, not only after years.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy that this is real.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: The guy just wants to win so bad, he studies.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: After years of not knowing and not meeting each other, right?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: They not only both play softball, but by accident, they
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: were both wearing the same number.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: We're just in tears, man.
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: It's like, oh, my gosh.
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: I look back on the video that we have, and, like,
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: we were so awkward to meet each other, but you
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: could just see the excitement.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It was crazy, because I could see how much we acted.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I've never had a sister, so I was like, wow,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: now I get a sister to talk to.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: I love this story.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: While they were playing, right, they look alike, obviously, because
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: they're long-lost sisters, but the families compared the details, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: then they realized through, you know, biology and all that stuff,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: they were born in the same hospital.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Wow!
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. Well, we know Bill saw the story.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I also love watching college women softball World Series.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: You're all in.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Final headline here, real or fake? The Boston High Rocks
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: this weekend almost shut down due to a strike. Real
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: or fake?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't see this.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I didn't see this either.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It's a local story.
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: I didn't see anything about a strike.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I know Mass General had some problems with the computers yesterday.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I think maybe fake.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Let's go fake on this.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You want fake on this?
• 8:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Damn it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: This is a real story, and we got boots on
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the ground. Let's go to Melissa in Danvers on line one.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, Melissa, what's up?
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: Hi.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: So, yes, I was at a technology event there yesterday,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: and our marketing people reached out and were like, before
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: it even happened, and said that there's talk that the
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: staff might go on strike because of how, I guess, messy.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: You know, everything that you guys kind of said, the
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: puke and the poop and all that, and also the
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: behavior that they didn't want to show up to work
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: the next day. So the technology, it was kind of
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: in a panic because we weren't sure we were going
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: to get staffed.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: What the hell did you get yourself into?
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Wait, so who was going to strike? The staff at
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: the Heinz?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: The staff didn't want to show up. Yeah, because the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: runners were, well, first of all, it's disgusting, some of
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the stuff that's happening, but also I guess the runners' behavior,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the racers' behavior wasn't really the best. So they threatened
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to go on strike. The whole event almost got shut down.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Were they all jacked up or something? I have no idea.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know a bunch of high rocksers. They're
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: all great people, but these people come from all over
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the world. Well, they're going to be cleaning mass poop
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and puke. I know.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Like, just everywhere.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I know. I'll just be dodging it, doing the best
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I can.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, and that's another thing.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, God. Stay very clean.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You gotta wear a mask.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Lisa. I'll do my best.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, so not only do you have to pack the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: diapers for the High Rocks competition, but you gotta.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: your puke bag.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Got it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Are you taking a diaper?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not bringing anything. Just myself.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa!

  Speaker 3: I think I can.

  Speaker 1: See back in the day of.

  Speaker 3: or not.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I'm leaning one way or the other.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I just know I'm a little bit skeptical. Can I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: keep on believing?
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I want to believe as a, you know, a kid of.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Think about it.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It was a big part of my childhood.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's always fun to entertain conspiracy theories.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: This is one of the bigger ones.
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: But it was all staged. You know, I mentioned earlier
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: that the they have we haven't gone back and people
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: are yelling at me on the talk backs like, what
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: do you mean? You know, they're mad at Drake May
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and me for saying that. The last time we went
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: back was 1972. Yeah, we went six times between, you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: 69 or whatever to 72, but that's a long stretch.
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: And technology, like we were saying earlier, has gotten so
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: much better, so much more streamlined. I mean, the computers
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: they used to go in the 60s was like the size.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Of Gillette Stadium. You know what I mean? And now
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: they're like tiny.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: If you ask me, do I think we landed on
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the moon? I'm going to say lean towards yes.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to believe.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: There's the famous song. Fly me to the moon.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: And the American flag is there.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is. We think.
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Unless it was CGI or whatever.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. Bruins beat the Mammoth last night, 6-1.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: They had five unanswered goals. Producer Riley, you were in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the garden. It must have been crazy.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It actually was very an electric game to be at.
• 13:42
  Speaker 11: One of our promotions that we usually do in the
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: third just got canceled because we were blocking them out
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: so bad.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: They were like, we don't need to rub it in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: anybody's faces. They're back in the garden tomorrow. Bruins for
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Flyers in the garden. Savannah Banana News. The Banana Bowl
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: is set for tomorrow in Washington, D.C. This weekend, Shane
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Gillis will host Saturday Night Live. Tomorrow night, Rosalia, the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: musical guest.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Shane Gillis, and I'll be hosting SNL this
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: week with Rosalia.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: I'm Kenan, and I'll be hosting a dinner party this
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: week with several of my closest friends.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I thought we were saying stuff we're hosting this week.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Rosalia, and I will not be hosting anything
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: this week.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: All the texts are coming in about the Jason Tatum
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: sneaker already. Thanks, Bill. Ruined the whole weekend.
• 14:30

• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden this weekend, and producer, you're flying off
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to New York City to see Harry.
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: Producer?
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: No, Riley.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: She's just a producer now.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Yes, I will be.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You leaving this morning?
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: No, tomorrow morning.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Well, have fun in New York. Thank you, Bill.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Harry sat down with Tom York this week, the lead
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: singer of Radiohead. I guess Harry's a big fan of Radiohead.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: We've talked about Harry walking all over New York City
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: alone in public. He credits an old girlfriend, I guess.
• 15:04
  Speaker 12: In the early days, like when I was in the
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: band and stuff, so much of the hotel experience felt.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Very, like, locked in.
• 15:16
  Speaker 12: It felt like there was this, like, oh, it's not
• 15:19
  Speaker 12: safe for me to, like, be out in some way.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.
• 15:22
  Speaker 12: And then I remember I had a girlfriend who was, like,
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: very outgoing, and she was coming to London, and I
• 15:30
  Speaker 12: was kind of like, oh, if we just sit in
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: my house for three days, she's going to think I'm nuts.
• 15:36
  Speaker 12: So we kind of, like, walked everywhere, and it was
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: this realization for me of, like, oh, it's... fine to
• 15:44
  Speaker 12: be outside like it kind of broke that thing and
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: then now it's like changed my life in such a
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: big way it's like how you stay connected to the
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: world and like the yes mate experience and and and
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: i read something about like walking being the artist's kind
• 16:04
  Speaker 12: of perspective because you're at ground level and you see
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: things that you just don't see if you're driving Yeah.
• 16:12

• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.

  Speaker 1: to see you, buddy.
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: Hey, good seeing you, too.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Were you the very first author on Lisa's Book Club,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I think, right, Lisa? I think I was.
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: He was.
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: I was lucky enough to be invited at the The launch.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: He helped launch it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Try to get in now, buddy.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, now I'm not. It's a long line. I'm
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: not even able.
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: I mean, you have like Jodi Picoult, right?
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: It's really amazing.
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: It's become like math.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: And we had you for checkmate.
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: I have to keep writing books to get on your
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: book club.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You have to keep it going. Yeah. Okay, I have
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: so many questions to ask you, as does Lisa. But
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for starters, The Social Reckoning is in theaters this weekend.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: The Social Network was the original, which everybody loved. I'm
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: going to watch it again this weekend.
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: Yes. Oh, you're going to watch The Social Network again.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So I can be ready for The Social Reckoning.
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: Can you come over to my house and we'll watch
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: it together?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're going to have a viewing party? We could
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: do that, yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: Okay. So The Social Reckoning takes place 15 years later.
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: So I wrote the book that became The Social Network.
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: And we had David Fincher directed Aaron Sorkin wrote the script.
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: This is Aaron wrote and directed it. And it takes
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: place 15 years later. And so it's a continuation or
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: a companion piece. To the social network. So it's not
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: the same story or maybe the same vibe, but it's
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: sort of a continuation of where Facebook ended up 15
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: years later.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Wow. And Lisa, you and I are invited to a screening.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Yes, we are on Monday night.
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah, there's a screen we're seeing and I'm actually going
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: to be seeing the whole movie for the first time.
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: On Monday night. I'm as curious as everyone else out there.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: So it's, you know, it's a cool thing. I think
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: Aaron is an amazing writer. I think it's going to
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: be a very different movie than The Social Network.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Is it the guy from Succession, I think?
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: It's the guy, Jeremy Strong, who is, I think, does
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: an amazing job as Zuckerberg, the stuff I've seen. And
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: he's like super method. So apparently, you know, when he
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: showed up on set, he was already Mark Zuckerberg. He
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: didn't He never broke character even at home during the
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: whole shoot. So some people find that insane. But I
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: think he captured a different mark than Jesse Eisenberg did.
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: And they did want Jesse back. Everybody wanted to see
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: Jesse play it again. They offered him a truckload of money.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: And why didn't he want to do it?
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: He said he didn't, you know, I think everyone thought
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: he would come back. And he just basically was didn't
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: want to be Zuckerberg, didn't want to be Zuckerberg his
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: whole life. I don't think he loves Zuckerberg. And he
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: didn't want to play that character. And I think this
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: is an older like we've all seen Zuckerberg change. You know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: when he was a college kid, he was the. lovable
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: nerd running around, angry, angry lovable nerd. And then he became,
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: you know, I guess fitness buff and MMA necklace wearing,
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: surfing Zuckerberg, who still doesn't seem like a real boy.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Like he's very robotic.
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: And I think in this movie, he's more of the
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: robot than he is.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Such a classic movie. A lot to live up to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: with The Social Robot.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: Well, I think that's part of the reason of not
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: sort of making it a straight sequel is the idea
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: is don't compare it to the social network.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: That's a hard comparison.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: I mean, they killed, I mean, the social network was
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: the greatest, in my opinion, and I know I'm biased,
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: but it's the best movie made in the last 20 years.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite lines.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: It's in my top.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: And I was just fortunate enough to sort of, Get
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: that weird phone call. I mean, the social network started
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: with a weird email in the middle of the night,
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: 2 a.m. My best friend founded Facebook and no one's
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: ever heard of him. And I went out to bar
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: 10 at the West.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: And in walked this college kid. And he didn't look
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: like Garfield. I mean, he looked like, you know, the
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: human version of an actor. Like he looked like Andrew
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: Garfield being kicked a couple of times. But anyways, he
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: sat down and had a couple of beers and he
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: started the conversation by saying, Mark Zuckerberg effed me. And
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: I was like, oh, tell me more.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I want to hear this story.
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: And this was 2008. No one really knew what Facebook was.
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: And he told me this crazy story. And so I
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: wrote a 10-page book proposal, which I called Face Off,
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: which was a horrible title because it was already a
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: movie with John Travolta. And it leaked onto the internet.
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: And that day they settled with Eduardo for $ 5 billion
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: to try and stop him from talking to me. And
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: he cut off all contact with me. He broke up
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: with his girlfriend who was Tanya's best friend. And he
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: moved to Singapore, never to be heard from again.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: But he had you with the line. He effed me. Yeah.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Let's keep talking. Can I get another drink?
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: I know, but we've never heard this part of the story.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: And then my proposal was on the Internet. And suddenly
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: Aaron Sorkin saw the proposal online. And David Fincher saw
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: the proposal online. And they called and said, we want
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: to make this into a movie. But I hadn't actually
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: written a book yet. So I locked myself in the
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: Westin Hotel in Boston because, you know. Tanya and I
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: were just married and you're a little kid and we
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: couldn't really. So I basically locked myself up and I
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: just started writing. And Aaron Sorkin was in the next
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: hotel room next to me. And I was like giving
• 25:46
  Speaker 10: him chapters. And it was crazy, Aaron, at the time.
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: It was still pretty crazy.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: So it was this wild experience.
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: And that became the social network. And so this is
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: sort of. you know, where does Facebook take us from there?
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: Because when Facebook started, it was supposed to be this
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: village and we all live online.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: And then it became something else.
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: And it ended up becoming this fake news kind of,
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: and you.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Can, all of the stuff that. Which was sad that
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: it became a fake news thing. It's one of my
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: favorite lines of all time, though. If you could have
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: invented Facebook, you would have invented Facebook. Right, right.
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: I mean, I love that. And the whole Winklevii side
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: of it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Totally, the twins.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: Crazy twins.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: So anyways, yeah. Okay, if you're just listening, we've got
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Ben Mesrick in here. He's one of the greatest writers
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: of all time. Refresh everybody's memory, some of the books
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: that you've written that have been turned into movies. Okay,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: so Bringing Down.
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: The House was about the MIT blackjack team, and it
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: came in the movie 21, which starred Kevin Spacey and
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: Lawrence Fishburne and Kate Bosworth. And then I wrote Dumb Money,
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: which was about the GameStop drama. I wrote for the
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: show Billions for a couple seasons. So if you're a
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: Billions fan on Showtime, that was one of mine. So
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: I've had three movies, and I have a couple in
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: development right now. So I've written about 30 books, but
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: people only really read those three.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: So those are the big ones. Yeah, so we're talking earlier, Justin,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and he blurts out, yeah, I've got, what, five movies
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and three TV shows.
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: Well, Checkmate was my book about the chess scandal, which
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: I was in here last time, and Nathan Fielder is
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: making it. And so Nathan has got his crazy documentary
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: coming out. In a couple of weeks and his next
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: project is supposed to be Checkmate. So that with Nathan
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: and Emma Stone are making that movie. So that's one
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: of the projects.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: It's such a good book. I gave it to Billy
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: to read.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: And I'm doing the Boston Book Festival if anyone's in
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: town next Saturday at 11 a.m. I'll be in conversation
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: with Linda Henry and Ken Rogoff.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Boy, you've come a long way. Look at you sliding
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: right into the plug. That was so professional.
• 27:45
  Speaker 11: But the public can go to this. That's open to
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: the public. It's at 11 o'clock in the morning.
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: You can ask me any questions about the social network
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: and Justin Timberlake.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Dropping names.
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: I've got to throw a lot of names in there
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: to get people to come.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ben.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Stop bragging. I'm in the book business.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Nobody reads books anymore.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I got to do what I can. But they do. Well,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: they read.
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: They do.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: Your audience reads.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: And the event, which is next Saturday, is at the
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: First Church Sanctuary at 11 o'clock.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: Sorry, at 11 o'clock in the morning.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: She has the info.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, I might go to that one. Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: See, that's daytime. You can go to that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: And my wife's away, so I'm flying solo.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: Well, you should check it out.
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it'll be fun.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: OK, so earlier you said how many projects you have
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in the works now.
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: So I've got the next two books is I I
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: wrote a book for a guy named Jeffrey Kent, who
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: is amazing, who is the. he created the luxury travel safari.
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: I know, Billy, you'd be interested. He's always trying to
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: get me to go and hang out with the gorillas
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: in Botswana. And I'm like, I'm a fragile person. I
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: went to Disney World and took pictures on the Jungle Cruise.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: It's not the same, Ben.
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: And I sent it to him and I was like,
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: I'm in.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: A safari right now. No, it's not the same. It's
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: exactly the same. Trust me when I tell you. I
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: saw a zebra. What do you want?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: It's the same.
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: And he can't kill me. I guess zebras don't kill you.
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: But anyways.
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: So this book is called The Greatest Adventurer, and that
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: comes out November 10th. And it's a wild ride into
• 29:09
  Speaker 10: Africa and this guy who created the safari as basically
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: out of nothing. And he's amazing.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: And didn't he hang out with the royals and everything?
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: So his best friend is King Charles.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that all?
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: And he was kind of the fixer. When King Charles
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: and Diana weren't working out and King Charles wanted to
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: meet Camilla, he was the guy because they would take
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: him on safari or whatever.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: So he had this fascinating- He would bring Charles to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the rendezvous with Camilla?
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: And there's amazing scenes in the story where you know,
• 29:34
  Speaker 10: Diane obviously hated Charles and also hated Jeff Kent because
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: Charles is confident. So they had met playing polo. He's
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: the greatest polo player in the world. Jeffrey Kent was
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: the Rolex Polo Man of the Year.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: And you're flying around with this guy.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not one of these people, right?
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: Me on a horse. I can't even get on a horse.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You just told me you spent a week with him
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: in London.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: So I was in London, Monaco.
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: So the book party, Prince Albert of Monaco wrote the
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: foreword to the book. So the party is going to
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: be at Prince Albert's.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: We have to get him on the show when he.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Comes into town.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff's got to be on the show.
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: He's coming in November.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Stop bragging.
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: No, it's just part of my project. But my next
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: book is called The Last Orbit, and it comes out
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: in May.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: You spent time at NASA for this one.
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: So I spent about a few months at NASA. See,
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: that's not bragging. Nobody cares about NASA. Okay, a few
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: months at NASA.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: So this is about an asteroid. For our listeners, can
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: you tell them that the moon landing happened? The moon landing? Okay.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: I get a pitch a week about the moon landing.
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: The moon landing happened, okay? There's a mirror on the
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: moon which anybody can shine a laser at and get
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: a reflection back from. So you know that mirror was
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: put there. Also, all of the little videos on the
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: internet have been completely debunked. Like the moving flag is
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: the famous one, you know, on the moon. There's no
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: wind on the moon. But there is kinetic energy on
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: the moon. And if you implant a metal post with
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: a flag on it, into the surface of the moon,
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: that energy goes up the bar and it makes the
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: flag wave.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: Do you hear that, Drake May?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Exactly. If you give Drake May, I'm sure you hang
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: out with him too. Give him a call.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: It's one of our greatest accomplishments. Can't we have that?
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: I mean, why do we have to? This all goes
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: back to the social reckoning, by the way. The reason
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: you don't believe in the moon landing. is because you
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: were online too much and Facebook.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Throws fake news at you. See, I'm bringing it full circle.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: That was a good segue.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: That's the whole point. It's the fake news that leads
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: to all of this is that you see it on
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: the Internet and you believe it and you want to
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: believe it. We want to believe in conspiracies. Our whole
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: world is built on it. And I write about conspiracies.
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: But anyways, The Last Orbit is about an asteroid has
• 31:37
  Speaker 10: a small chance of hitting its city on Earth and
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: what NASA plans to do about it. And it's actually
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: a real version of the movie Armageddon. And we're making
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: that into a movie with Matt Shackman, who did Fantastic
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: Four with Sony. So that's my next book project after
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: the Jeffrey Kemp book.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: And you'll do Lisa's book club with him.
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: Yes, that'll be in May, and I hope to do everything.
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: It's going to be a really fun story, and I
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: love asteroids and NASA.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: I do, too. Kids 108.
• 32:04
  Speaker 11: It's the morning wrap-up with Justin on Billy and Lisa
• 32:08
  Speaker 11: in the Morning.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: All right, wrapping up the big Friday show. I'd say
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: it was a big show.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Woo-hoo!
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I feel like every day is a big show, though.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I'm out of breath from the show.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: There's always a lot going on. Of course, Jingle Ball
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: tickets 7-10 every morning. That happens Monday through Friday, all
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: the way up until showtime. We did it this morning.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: We'll do it again Monday morning at 7-10 in the
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Olivia Rodrigo double play. That continues today. We'll take a
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: break over the weekend. It will return on Monday. So
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: back-to-back Olivia songs, be called at 25, and you're into
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: the show and you qualify for that grand prize. Like

  Speaker 12: That is amazing. Thank you guys so much.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: You guys are awesome.

  Speaker 12: I've been listening to you guys for 30 years.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Yep, she's off to see Olivia and qualifies. Yeah, that
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: grand prize tickets to all three nights. That's a big,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: big deal. Also this morning, topic time. What song has
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: resonated with you? This came from one of our talkbackers.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: You know, music's a powerful thing. So that was the question.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: What song has, you know, touched you in some sort
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: of way?
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: The song that'll pick me up when I'm in Any
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: down mood, even, you know, 15 years after it came out,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: down by Sean Paul.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: And when that rap verse comes on and.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: You still know every single word, it's very uplifting.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Did she mean Jay Sean? She might have.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I think she said down by Sean Paul.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think I think she meant Jay Sean.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Now I'm confused. I'm sorry. Talk amongst yourselves.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: That's okay. Is there still time for me to get
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Wagon Wheel in there?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Yeah. She had to have meant Down
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: by Jay Shon. Got confused there for a second. Although
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Sean Paul does have a song called Go Down Deh.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Go Down Deh.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: You want Wagon Wheel, Bill?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Is it too late?
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: We need a little wagon wheel.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel. Rock me, mama,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: any way you feel.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: That's a feel-good song. That is a good song. So
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: thank you for all the calls, the talkbacks, and also

  Speaker 2: This is your moment, so I wish you all the best.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: And thank you to everybody who's been wishing me the best.

  Speaker 2: I'm going to do the best that I can.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to wish Justin good luck in the
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: High Rocks race this weekend. Quite a few years ago,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I did the Beast, the Spartan Beast at Killington, affectionately
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: known as the Beast of the East. I plan on
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: taking a couple days off. I took two days off
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: because the next couple days after that race, I was
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: walking like a $ 3 hoe.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. We've got a nice stretch of
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: weather for today and for tomorrow and maybe Sunday, too.

  Speaker 1: Have a great and a safe weekend. And we'll see
• 35:20
