- 0:05Speaker 1: a pair of tickets right now. But we do need
- 0:07Speaker 1: a Caller 25. And Caller 25, if you get through,
- 0:10Speaker 1: you will need a keyword. And the keyword's very easy
- 0:12Speaker 1: this time around. The keyword is Ed. Ed is the
- 0:18Speaker 1: key word.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Nice and simple there.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Yep. Can't be any easier.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I know people are buzzing about these tickets. It's
- 0:23Speaker 2: going to be big, big shows for Ed Sheeran.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Well, while we wait for Call of 25, let's get
- 0:27Speaker 1: a couple of talkbacks in. Okay.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 0:29Speaker 4: I want to be a Kiss 108 weather girl like
- 0:31Speaker 4: the other two ladies on the show, so here's my bit.
- 0:34Speaker 5: It's windy, huh?
- 0:37Speaker 6: Okay.
- 0:38Speaker 7: Okay.
- 0:38Speaker 1: It's windy, yeah.
- 0:39Speaker 2: It sure is. It's hot, huh? It's cold, huh? Oh, yeah.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Cold, huh?
- 0:43Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 0:43Speaker 2: You have to beat Bill, though. He's the OG.
- 0:45Speaker 8: Actually, with the highs both days, about 80 degrees. It's
- 0:48Speaker 8: 71 outside the studios now. I'm Bill Acosta.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Here's Dave.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Okay. It doesn't even sound like it.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Why do you have that? Is it like.
- 0:57Speaker 2: God, here's Jay. It's because it was recorded on tape.
- 1:00Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:00Speaker 2: So it kind of makes the voice more squeaky.
- 1:02Speaker 10: Yes.
- 1:03Speaker 5: You know?
- 1:03Speaker 8: Actually, with the highs both days, about 80 degrees. It's
- 1:06Speaker 8: 71 outside the studios now. I'm Bill Acosta.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Here's Jay. Why am I talking so fast? I have
- 1:11Speaker 1: no idea.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Actually, degrees. I think it sped you up, honestly. I
- 1:16Speaker 2: don't really think you worked up.
- 1:17Speaker 1: By the way, the J I refer to is the
- 1:19Speaker 1: legendary J.J. Wright, who was on the air for years
- 1:22Speaker 1: here at Kiss 108. Shout out to J.J.
- 1:24Speaker 11: Wright.
- 1:25Speaker 10: Ah, okay.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Okay, I like it.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Well, you know, we do deliver the weather every day here.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Lisa is the weather girl on the show. When we
- 1:33Speaker 2: are out, producer Riley is the other girl that will
- 1:35Speaker 2: cover for Lisa. Lisa does a great job.
- 1:38Speaker 8: Weather?
- 1:39Speaker 1: What's the deal with today, Lisa?
- 1:40Speaker 3: Why are you asking me?
- 1:41Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Again, it's... You always ask me.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm some weather person. You say the weather
- 1:48Speaker 1: before we even go on. Yeah, okay.
- 1:50Speaker 3: It's going to be increasing crowds. That's what I've been told.
- 1:53Speaker 1: That was such a cool moment on the show. I
- 1:56Speaker 1: don't know what you're asking me for.
- 2:00Speaker 2: It wasn't a good day that day.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Sometimes we have our moments.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Oh, that was awesome. It was so honest.
- 2:08Speaker 2: There were things going on that day.
- 2:11Speaker 9: Good luck on the High Rocks, Justin.
- 2:13Speaker 8: I'll be there.
- 2:14Speaker 5: My daughter, who's 21, will be doing it with one
- 2:16Speaker 5: of her best friends. So she'll be representing the young
- 2:19Speaker 5: ladies of the world. Good luck to everyone.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Yes, I'm running High Rocks Boston
- 2:24Speaker 2: in four weeks at the convention center.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Four weeks to go. How's it going? How's the training going?
- 2:29Speaker 1: It's going.
- 2:30Speaker 2: I've been training hard, really focused, dialed in on my
- 2:33Speaker 2: diet and my training. It's going to be very difficult.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Now, are you doing it as a solo or as
- 2:38Speaker 1: a team?
- 2:38Speaker 2: I'm doing it doubles for my first one. So I'm
- 2:40Speaker 2: doing it with my friend Mike. People that don't know
- 2:42Speaker 2: what it is, it's a fitness race. Basically, it's a
- 2:45Speaker 2: lot of running and stations. So you kind of do
- 2:47Speaker 2: a station, then you run, and then it keeps going.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Things like wall balls, lunges, burpee prod jumps, sled pull,
- 2:54Speaker 2: sled push. There's a bunch of them.
- 2:55Speaker 3: How much running do you have to do?
- 2:57Speaker 2: So it's eight kilometers, and each one is 0.6 of
- 3:00Speaker 2: a mile.
- 3:01Speaker 1: But it's in the middle. You're doing cardio in the
- 3:03Speaker 1: middle of all these other events.
- 3:05Speaker 2: So you do a station, right? Like you push a
- 3:07Speaker 2: heavy sled, and then you run. And then you have
- 3:09Speaker 2: to pull the sled, and then you run. And so
- 3:12Speaker 2: it lasts about an hour to an hour and a half.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I'm hoping to get an hour and a half. I
- 3:15Speaker 2: don't know. It's a lot of cardio, and it's going
- 3:18Speaker 2: to be very difficult. But I'm ready. I got my
- 3:20Speaker 2: new sneakers I ordered. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I got
- 3:23Speaker 2: my watch, my new watch, my Amaze Fit.
- 3:25Speaker 5: See?
- 3:25Speaker 2: How you look is just as important as how you finish.
- 3:27Speaker 2: It's not about how it looks. The watch is tracking
- 3:29Speaker 2: all my High Rocks workouts. That's the official watch of
- 3:32Speaker 2: High Rocks. So it tracks my sleep, my recovery.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Just don't embarrass us. I know, I'm very worried.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Yeah, just make sure you finish.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I mean, you're representing the Barry and Lisa Moore show.
- 3:41Speaker 2: My fear is cramping.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Oh.
- 3:43Speaker 2: I don't want to cramp. I was going to have
- 3:45Speaker 2: my son come and watch, but I don't want to
- 3:48Speaker 2: embarrass myself.
- 3:49Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Well, make sure you do electrolytes, potassium, salt.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Yeah, salt. I'm going to bring some gels with me.
- 3:56Speaker 9: Yep.
- 3:56Speaker 2: They have carbs in them, so I can kind of
- 3:58Speaker 2: drink those in the middle of the race. I've got
- 4:00Speaker 2: to be perfect. There we go.
- 4:02Speaker 1: There is a very small part of me. that wouldn't
- 4:08Speaker 1: mind if you came in the morning in a full
- 4:10Speaker 1: leg brace or something. You know what I mean? At
- 4:13Speaker 1: least the one that his leg can't even bend.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Okay, that's Bill Costa saying that? I do not wish
- 4:18Speaker 3: that upon you.
- 4:19Speaker 1: It's in my mind. Or the arm cast that has
- 4:22Speaker 1: your arm shooting out to the right.
- 4:25Speaker 2: It would be the legs because they have a burpee
- 4:27Speaker 2: broad jump where you basically have to jump and then
- 4:30Speaker 2: get down for a burpee and jump back up. It's continuous.
- 4:34Speaker 3: That sounds really hard.
- 4:36Speaker 6: So.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Yeah, that's four weeks. Good thing I took the next
- 4:39Speaker 2: day off, so I'll be able to rest. Yeah, you
- 4:41Speaker 2: got four weeks, buddy. We're rooting for you.
- 4:43Speaker 1: You're ready. You're ready to go. Thank you.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Do we have caller 25 yet? I don't know what
- 4:46Speaker 2: the holdup is. We're waiting on 25. Oh, there she is.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Crystal in Attleboro.
- 4:51Speaker 6: Hi.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Good morning, Crystal.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Hello.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Where are you calling from, Crystal?
- 4:57Speaker 2: Calling from Attleboro.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Okay, so Crystal, we're sitting on a pair of tickets
- 5:02Speaker 1: for Ed Sheeran, but before we give them to you,
- 5:04Speaker 1: you have to give us the key word.
- 5:08Speaker 10: Ed.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Ed is the key word. Now you're going to see
- 5:10Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran.
- 5:12Speaker 5: Oh, I love you guys.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Yeah, Crystal, can you give me a woo-hoo?
- 5:16Speaker 12: Woo-hoo!
- 5:17Speaker 9: What?
- 5:18Speaker 3: All right, that's pushing it back.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I know.
- 5:21Speaker 9: I'm dropping off her order right now.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Oh, wait a minute. You're delivering?
- 5:26Speaker 9: I'm delivering food from DoorDash.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Hi.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Sorry about that.
- 5:28Speaker 12: I'm winning tickets to the.
- 5:30Speaker 9: Ed Sheeran contest.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Oh, my God. This is awesome.
- 5:32Speaker 12: I did.
- 5:33Speaker 8: I won.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Wow.
- 5:38Speaker 8: Thank you.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Your DoorDash delivery, I love. Thank you for your service. Yes.
- 5:44Speaker 9: Yes.
- 5:45Speaker 12: I stay at home, Mom, so I do it when
- 5:46Speaker 12: I'm bored.
- 5:46Speaker 1: We love you.
- 5:49Speaker 5: The lady was looking at me like, where's my coffee?
- 5:51Speaker 1: I'm like, you're going to have to wait a minute. Yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 1: I don't care about your tickets, okay, lady? Just give
- 5:55Speaker 1: me my sandwich.
- 5:55Speaker 2: That's why I'm multitasking.
- 5:57Speaker 5: It's not that important to me.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Well, listen, hold on, okay? And we'll give you all
- 6:01Speaker 1: the information you need. Congrats and enjoy Ed Sheeran.
- 6:05Speaker 9: Thank you so much.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Love, Billy and Lisa.
- 6:07Speaker 7: Kiss 108.
- 6:08Speaker 1: So we're mixing it up this morning. It's 25 years
- 6:11Speaker 1: since the 9-11 attacks, and people are having a chance
- 6:14Speaker 1: to tell their stories on the show. We've been getting
- 6:16Speaker 1: a lot of talkbacks. We've been sharing a lot of stories.
- 6:20Speaker 1: As if it's not enough, Lisa, that you were in
- 6:22Speaker 1: New York City when the attacks happened. You have a
- 6:26Speaker 1: friend who lost her mom.
- 6:28Speaker 9: I do.
- 6:28Speaker 12: And I think we all knew that having two planes
- 6:31Speaker 12: from Boston, we knew that we would all know someone.
- 6:34Speaker 11: Right.
- 6:34Speaker 3: So that's true. Sonia Tito Popolo is on the phone.
- 6:38Speaker 12: We went to Emerson together and her mother, Sonia, who
- 6:40Speaker 12: she's named after, was on American Airlines Flight 11, which
- 6:44Speaker 12: was the first plane to hit the tower.
- 6:46Speaker 3: So, Sonia Tito, welcome to the show.
- 6:50Speaker 9: I thank you so much, Lisa and Billy. This is
- 6:52Speaker 9: an honor to be on with you both. Thank you
- 6:55Speaker 9: for inviting me.
- 6:57Speaker 7: Wow.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Let's go back to the actual morning, Sonia. You knew
- 7:01Speaker 1: your mom was on a plane. What were you thinking
- 7:03Speaker 1: that morning?
- 7:06Speaker 9: Well, we have thinking that she was going to the
- 7:09Speaker 9: Latin Grammy Awards and she was going to have an
- 7:12Speaker 9: amazing time visiting my brother. I mean, that's what we
- 7:16Speaker 9: were thinking. She was on that flight 11th.
- 7:19Speaker 1: So what was your immediate task? What did you do first?
- 7:23Speaker 9: Well, when we learned we were in Dover and then
- 7:26Speaker 9: we learned that she was on American Airlines Flight 11,
- 7:30Speaker 9: which struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
- 7:33Speaker 9: It was something that the whole world was watching and
- 7:36Speaker 9: just became our family's deepest personal loss. And it's really
- 7:40Speaker 9: difficult to describe that. It was just overwhelming shock, I'd
- 7:45Speaker 9: have to say.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Lisa, where were you when you found out about Sonia
- 7:48Speaker 1: and her story?
- 7:50Speaker 12: I knew that her mother would be going out to
- 7:54Speaker 12: the Latin Grammy Awards. So when I got back to
- 7:56Speaker 12: Boston about a week later, that's when Sonia and I connected.
- 8:00Speaker 12: And she told me that her mother was on the flight.
- 8:04Speaker 12: And then subsequently, we planned a beautiful memorial service together
- 8:09Speaker 12: in honor of your mother.
- 8:10Speaker 3: And your mother came here from Puerto Rico. I want to.
- 8:13Speaker 12: I want to mention that because your mother was such
- 8:15Speaker 12: an amazing philanthropist.
- 8:16Speaker 3: She came here from Puerto Rico. She went to Boston University.
- 8:19Speaker 12: She met your father, had three beautiful children, was heavily
- 8:23Speaker 12: involved in the arts community, the dance community. She was
- 8:26Speaker 12: going to the Latin Grammy Awards. She was just such
- 8:28Speaker 12: a beautiful force. And and I will always remember that.
- 8:32Speaker 12: And you've you've honestly teach that like. moved that forward
- 8:36Speaker 12: and carried that on for so many years. But I
- 8:39Speaker 12: do want you to share a story of what happened
- 8:41Speaker 12: a year after the attacks, what was given back to you,
- 8:44Speaker 12: what they found in the rubble.
- 8:45Speaker 1: This is shocking to me.
- 8:47Speaker 8: Yes.
- 8:48Speaker 9: Well, let me tell you, just a couple of days
- 8:50Speaker 9: after 9-1-1, my dad had an interview and he had said, What,
- 8:55Speaker 9: you know, my father's one wish was I would like
- 8:58Speaker 9: my wife's ring back. And 11 months later, her wedding
- 9:01Speaker 9: ring was recovered under 1.6 million tons of rubble at
- 9:05Speaker 9: ground zero. And for us, that was a real miracle
- 9:10Speaker 9: and just proof that love lasts forever.
- 9:12Speaker 1: So how did they find the ring under the rubble
- 9:15Speaker 1: and find out that it was your ring? How did
- 9:18Speaker 1: they get it to you?
- 9:20Speaker 9: Well, it's amazing. They found through DNA, and it's something
- 9:24Speaker 9: that I talk about in my book, Sonia's Ring, A
- 9:26Speaker 9: Loving Way to Steal Your Heart, because having the ring
- 9:29Speaker 9: returned and the ring recovered, that was the inspiration for
- 9:33Speaker 9: my book, Sonia's Ring, A Loving Way to Steal Your Heart.
- 9:36Speaker 9: And that's how they found it. They found it under 1.6,
- 9:41Speaker 9: like I had mentioned, 1.6 million tons of rubble, and
- 9:44Speaker 9: they found it through, it was thanks to DNA.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Is that ring on your finger right now?
- 9:50Speaker 9: Yes.
- 9:51Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
- 9:53Speaker 1: It's one of the most powerful symbols of your family.
- 9:59Speaker 12: And your love and your connection and the fact that
- 10:03Speaker 12: the responders and the people that were doing the recovery
- 10:05Speaker 12: efforts were able to give back things like that to
- 10:08Speaker 12: the families that were so lost.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Sonia, I have to ask you, how are you doing
- 10:14Speaker 1: today of all days?
- 10:17Speaker 9: Well, today, Daddy and I still miss her deeply. It's
- 10:22Speaker 9: painful every day. And we're also grateful for the life
- 10:28Speaker 9: that we have together, for the love that we had
- 10:33Speaker 9: with my mom. And, yeah.
- 10:38Speaker 1: So you flew down to Miami to be with Dad
- 10:40Speaker 1: on this special day?
- 10:41Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes.
- 10:44Speaker 12: Tita, we were talking about there are a lot of
- 10:45Speaker 12: people that weren't alive during this time period or people
- 10:50Speaker 12: that were just very, very young. But you were speaking
- 10:53Speaker 12: at Emerson last week, and I want you to share
- 10:55Speaker 12: a conversation you had with one of the students, if
- 10:58Speaker 12: you could.
- 10:59Speaker 9: Yes, absolutely. So I was so at Emerson. So one
- 11:02Speaker 9: of the students had mentioned, well, someone in someone older
- 11:06Speaker 9: in my family said nine one one nine eleven. It's
- 11:10Speaker 9: really it doesn't matter anymore because it doesn't affect has
- 11:14Speaker 9: no effect on us. And it's irrelevant with so many
- 11:18Speaker 9: things going on in the world. And, you know, given
- 11:22Speaker 9: that there are so many young people that weren't born
- 11:24Speaker 9: when this happened, I think that, you know, the question is,
- 11:27Speaker 9: what would we want them to know? And my answer
- 11:29Speaker 9: to the student was, the world changed to a before
- 11:34Speaker 9: 9-1-1 and an after 9-11, or 9-1-1, 9-11. And we're
- 11:39Speaker 9: still feeling the consequences of that change. And you don't
- 11:43Speaker 9: have to have lived through September 11th to help carry
- 11:47Speaker 9: its memory forward. I think you can start by learning
- 11:51Speaker 9: what happened in the story of just one person we lost.
- 11:55Speaker 9: And remember that every name belongs to someone who had dreamed,
- 12:00Speaker 9: you know, people they loved and a life that truly mattered.
- 12:04Speaker 9: And to learn about the courage of those who helped
- 12:08Speaker 9: others that day and to carry that compassion into your
- 12:12Speaker 9: own life. And in how you treat people and how
- 12:15Speaker 9: you show up when someone needs you. You know, the
- 12:17Speaker 9: United States was in a moment of absolute horror that day,
- 12:21Speaker 9: but at complete unity at the same time.
- 12:24Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 12:25Speaker 1: And don't forget every name, people that lost their lives,
- 12:28Speaker 1: they all thought they were going home that day.
- 12:32Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Yes.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Tell us about the book one more time quickly and
- 12:35Speaker 1: where people can get it and what it's all about.
- 12:38Speaker 8: Oh, yes.
- 12:39Speaker 9: Sonia's Ring, 11 Ways to Heal Your Heart. It's a
- 12:41Speaker 9: beautiful book about healing, self-care and love and miracles can happen.
- 12:47Speaker 9: And you can get it on our website. You can
- 12:50Speaker 9: get it either on Sonia's Ring dot com or Wellness
- 12:53Speaker 9: World USA dot com.
- 12:55Speaker 2: And yes.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Well, today would be a good day to get it.
- 12:59Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 13:00Speaker 9: I say what?
- 13:01Speaker 3: Thanks, Sonia. We really love you. And we're thinking of
- 13:04Speaker 3: you and your family.
- 13:06Speaker 9: Oh, thank you so much. You know, my mom loved
- 13:08Speaker 9: you so much, Lisa. And I'm so, so grateful for
- 13:13Speaker 9: your sharing story about my mom and remembering not only
- 13:17Speaker 9: my mom, but all of the family members today, because
- 13:20Speaker 9: it really, really means a lot. And 25 years later,
- 13:24Speaker 9: my mother's love is still shaping my life. And to
- 13:28Speaker 9: remember is to care and to serve is to carry
- 13:30Speaker 9: love forward. So thank you so, so much for your time,
- 13:33Speaker 9: Billy and Misha.
- 13:35Speaker 3: Thanks, Sonia.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Thank you, Sonia. That right there is why we're here
- 13:38Speaker 1: this morning. Right.
- 13:40Speaker 9: Exactly.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:41Speaker 2: I've been chills all morning listening to all these stories,
- 13:45Speaker 2: all the talkbackers in her. Oh, my God.
- 13:48Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Can't imagine. Thoughts and prayers to everybody who's going through
- 13:51Speaker 1: it today.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be right back.
- 13:53Speaker 7: Billy and Lisa.

- 13:58Speaker 1: All right, Lisa, you've got a couple of big book
- 14:00Speaker 1: club events. You also have a new product line. Let's
- 14:02Speaker 1: break it down.
- 14:03Speaker 12: Okay, so remember Kaylee Reads? Kaylee underscore reads on Instagram.
- 14:07Speaker 12: She was the one who made the bookmark. She's from
- 14:10Speaker 12: New Hampshire. She was chosen by Olivia Rodrigo to be
- 14:14Speaker 12: part of the Daisy Chain Fields Festival out in California.
- 14:17Speaker 3: So we had her in.
- 14:19Speaker 12: She made the bookmarks for Olivia Rodrigo while she was
- 14:21Speaker 12: here in studio. We asked her if she would make
- 14:23Speaker 12: a special Lisa's Book Club bookmark. Well, she has and
- 14:26Speaker 12: they're done. And we're going to be selling them at
- 14:28Speaker 12: the Jodi Picoult event on Monday at Big Night Live.

- 14:32Speaker 12: are seats available. All you have to do is purchase
- 14:35Speaker 12: the book as your ticket in. But the bookmarks will

- 14:47Speaker 3: And Kaylee is spelled K-A-Y-L-I-E.
- 14:50Speaker 9: Yes.
- 14:51Speaker 2: And producer Riley and myself, Justin, will be purchasing these
- 14:54Speaker 2: book bookmarks. Not Billy, because we're not sure if Billy
- 14:57Speaker 2: reads them. OK, don't worry about me.
- 14:59Speaker 1: I read plenty. I read plenty.
- 15:01Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 15:01Speaker 12: And then I have one on Wednesday at the Newberry Hotel.
- 15:04Speaker 12: It's Leanne Moriarty, who wrote Big Little Lies. Her follow
- 15:07Speaker 12: up is Big Little Truths. And she's flying in from Australia.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Now, is the link up on that one?
- 15:12Speaker 3: It's sold out.
- 15:13Speaker 6: Oh.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Yeah, the Wednesday one.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Right, but Lisa, maybe if they DM you, is there
- 15:19Speaker 2: a shot?
- 15:19Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 15:20Speaker 3: I always hold back a few seats.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Did you see Lisa's reaction? Sold out. Just saying. Country
- 15:27Speaker 1: Music Award nominations announced yesterday. Ella Langley basically nominated in
- 15:31Speaker 1: every category, single of the year, album of the year, song,
- 15:34Speaker 1: female vocalist, all of it for, of course, Choose in Texas.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Did you want to hear Choose in Texas again? I
- 15:42Speaker 2: sure do. Again?
- 15:44Speaker 1: Give it to me one time.
- 15:45Speaker 2: I mean, we've heard it a million times. I do
- 15:47Speaker 2: love the song.
- 15:48Speaker 11: Okay.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Never mind.
- 15:53Speaker 7: Okay.
- 15:55Speaker 1: We'll just move on. Taylor Swift has a country music
- 15:57Speaker 1: award nomination for single of the year. I knew it.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I knew you from the toy story five movie and
- 16:03Speaker 1: Taylor Swift made it clear yesterday. She plans on going
- 16:07Speaker 1: to the awards.
- 16:09Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Is there an announcement coming?
- 16:11Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 16:12Speaker 1: It has to be. She's always planning something.
- 16:14Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Producer rally. Maybe a rerecording.
- 16:17Speaker 6: I think if she's going to drop anything, it'll be
- 16:20Speaker 6: debut Taylor's version. Cause again, country, that's her first album.
- 16:24Speaker 6: It's coming up on its 20th anniversary in October. She
- 16:27Speaker 6: does love to do like a tonight at midnight. So
- 16:29Speaker 6: you never know.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Hmm. What if it's a country album, a new one?
- 16:33Speaker 3: I really love that.
- 16:34Speaker 2: What if she was inspired by doing the toy story
- 16:36Speaker 2: five song and just made a whole new album.
- 16:38Speaker 3: She's just been in the studio.
- 16:40Speaker 1: I want all new enough of the reruns.
- 16:42Speaker 10: Okay.
- 16:43Speaker 1: You know, the re recordings and everything.
- 16:44Speaker 10: Okay.
- 16:45Speaker 1: She made her point.
- 16:46Speaker 6: Well, so when she's been dropping all the Taylor's versions,
- 16:48Speaker 6: she has been releasing songs from The Vault, which are
- 16:51Speaker 6: songs that we've never heard. So we would get a
- 16:53Speaker 6: couple new songs along with the re-recordings.
- 16:56Speaker 1: There you go. You heard it first. The Vault.
- 16:58Speaker 12: I think she's one of the most prolific singer-songwriters out there.
- 17:02Speaker 12: She came out with Life of a Showgirl. Now she
- 17:04Speaker 12: came out with this Toy Story song. She's always creating.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Yeah, always. Imagine being in a car with Taylor.
- 17:10Speaker 3: She's always writing stuff down.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Imagine being Travis Kelsey, married to her and having conversations.
- 17:16Speaker 2: I mean, Travis seems like a, OK, smart guy, but
- 17:19Speaker 2: not as smart as her.
- 17:20Speaker 8: Oh, no.
- 17:21Speaker 1: I mean, the whole time they're in the car, she's working.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Her brain's going. She's putting ideas together.
- 17:25Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 17:25Speaker 1: On phones, making deals. Spice Girls had a big announcement yesterday,
- 17:29Speaker 1: but it was not the announcement that fans were hoping for.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Fans wanted that much anticipated Spice Girls tour, the reunion tour. Well,
- 17:38Speaker 1: it turns out it's just a singles collection, a box set.
- 17:40Speaker 1: which marks the 30th anniversary of their debut album.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Put that to bed.
- 17:51Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Was there a Spice Girls
- 17:55Speaker 1: schedule to come in here this morning live?
- 17:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:59Speaker 1: What happened today?
- 18:00Speaker 2: Yeah, Mel C has a show in Boston. She has
- 18:01Speaker 2: a solo tour. It's launching. She'll be here Monday night
- 18:04Speaker 2: at Royale.
- 18:05Speaker 8: Oh, good.
- 18:05Speaker 2: We were trying to make it work. She was going
- 18:07Speaker 2: to come in, but scheduling, you know, coming from overseas,
- 18:10Speaker 2: it's tough. So she sends her best to you, Bill. Oh,
- 18:13Speaker 2: of course she does. Well, she knows that she is
- 18:16Speaker 2: your favorite Spice Girl.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Did she send her best or blow us off first?
- 18:20Speaker 2: No, she didn't blow us off. No, definitely not.
- 18:23Speaker 6: No.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Definitely not. Highly recommend you go to the show. Where
- 18:25Speaker 1: is it and when? Monday night?
- 18:26Speaker 2: It's at Royale on Monday night.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Okay.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Melanie C.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Lizzo is announcing a book tour. She's got a children's
- 18:31Speaker 1: book now, Liz?
- 18:32Speaker 12: She does, and she's going to play the flute as
- 18:35Speaker 12: part of it. It's kind of a music kids thing.
- 18:37Speaker 12: I would love for her to do my book club,
- 18:39Speaker 12: so we're going to try and make this happen. I've
- 18:40Speaker 12: always wanted to have a songwriter as part of the
- 18:43Speaker 12: book club because songwriting is very much like poem writing.
- 18:46Speaker 12: That would be a good grab if you can get Lizzo.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, we've got to work on this.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Yeah, she's very good with the flute.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Very good.
- 18:55Speaker 2: It's called Sasha B.
- 18:56Speaker 9: Fluton.
- 18:56Speaker 2: That's the name of the book.
- 18:57Speaker 3: Yeah, it's cute.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I play a mean skin flu.
- 19:00Speaker 12: Well, it's not that, but.
- 19:02Speaker 8: Oh.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Let's move on, Billy. Sorry.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Sabrina Carpenter is waking up this morning with a new gig.
- 19:10Speaker 1: She's now teaming up with Dior for a collaboration. We
- 19:13Speaker 1: have a clip from the campaign. And he tightens his
- 19:14Speaker 1: jaw a lot, so I imagine.
- 19:16Speaker 3: That must make it harder. Because the neck thing all
- 19:19Speaker 3: the time.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 19:23Speaker 3: A lot of thoughts in the head, so you've got to...
- 19:26Speaker 3: I'm designing a collection.
- 19:29Speaker 1: And NFL football, the 49ers beat the Rams down under
- 19:33Speaker 1: in Australia yesterday. 27-7 was the final. And by the way,
- 19:38Speaker 1: in case you missed it, the Jonas Brothers were the
- 19:41Speaker 1: halftime show. You're the medicine and the pain. Tattoo it's
- 19:45Speaker 1: on my brain. Baby, you know it's obvious. I'm a
- 19:49Speaker 1: sucker for you. It didn't look very organized to me.
- 19:59Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Justin? We were watching the
- 20:01Speaker 1: video earlier this morning.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Was this announced that they were doing the halftime show?
- 20:06Speaker 2: I believe it was.
- 20:06Speaker 1: But it just seemed like people just wandered out into
- 20:09Speaker 1: the field. Like spur of the moment.
- 20:11Speaker 2: They had a bunch of people in the front, like
- 20:12Speaker 2: in front of them. They were on a stage in
- 20:14Speaker 2: the middle of the field. And yeah, they were just
- 20:15Speaker 2: kind of running around. Didn't really make sense.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I think one guy hopping around was like the popcorn
- 20:20Speaker 1: guy or something. He had the tray of popcorn. Like
- 20:22Speaker 1: it was just, what's going on out here?
- 20:23Speaker 3: It wasn't that rehearsed.
- 20:25Speaker 8: No.
- 20:25Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 20:26Speaker 1: And for the record, his guitar wasn't plugged in.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Oh, Kevin?
- 20:32Speaker 6: Yeah. Oh.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Well, you know, I try to keep track of this.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I was looking for everything. Some sort of a remote antenna,
- 20:38Speaker 1: anything on the guitar that would pick it up. Because
- 20:41Speaker 1: all the other guys had, you know, like remote earplugs
- 20:44Speaker 1: in and everything else going on.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Nothing. Well, you know what they say about Kevin. He
- 20:47Speaker 2: was the first one to come swinging down on a
- 20:49Speaker 2: vine asking me to tune.
- 20:50Speaker 11: His skin flute.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Just announced, Luda is part of the Monday Night Football
- 20:59Speaker 1: theme now. Luda! Monday Night Magic, closing out the weekend.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Luda on the mic, it's football season. Broncos, Chiefs game locked,
- 21:08Speaker 1: no ransom. Broncos and Chiefs are your Monday Night Football
- 21:12Speaker 1: game this coming Monday night. And don't forget, Practical Magic

- 21:28Speaker 1: Go to Dover Rug in Natick, Boston, Burlington, or at DoverRug.com.
- 21:32Speaker 1: We're talking rugs and the people who know them. And
- 21:36Speaker 1: there you go. Yo, what's going on? Again, it's been
- 21:40Speaker 1: an unusual morning for the Billy and Lisa Morning Show.
- 21:42Speaker 1: This is what happens when it's a solemn day like
- 21:44Speaker 1: this day, 25 years since the terrorist attacks in New
- 21:47Speaker 1: York City. We've had some incredible talkbacks through the course
- 21:51Speaker 1: of the show this morning, people telling their stories. You
- 21:54Speaker 1: want to get one more in right now, Justin?
- 21:56Speaker 8: Good morning.
- 21:57Speaker 10: Yeah, I remember specifically where I was. It was fifth grade.
- 22:02Speaker 10: And we're at lunch. And then I remember they were
- 22:05Speaker 10: bringing all the kids back into their homeroom, you know,
- 22:08Speaker 10: told us what happened. And it was pretty scary. Like
- 22:12Speaker 10: parents were taking their kids out of school. We were
- 22:15Speaker 10: told that all flights were being canceled. Yeah, it was
- 22:20Speaker 10: just really scary time.
- 22:23Speaker 1: 25 years ago. And again, we've had some great stories,
- 22:28Speaker 1: a very moving story from one of Lisa's friends whose
- 22:30Speaker 1: mom died in one of the planes and now wears
- 22:33Speaker 1: her mom's ring that was found in the rubble.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Yeah, if you missed that last hour, it will be
- 22:38Speaker 2: on the podcast, which you can find on the iHeart app,
- 22:40Speaker 2: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:42Speaker 2: All of the calls, all the talkbacks, all of the stories.
- 22:45Speaker 2: We had teachers checking in on the talkbacks on how
- 22:47Speaker 2: they are teaching kids about 9-11.
- 22:49Speaker 1: What to say, what not to say, how to ask questions,
- 22:51Speaker 1: consider their ages, everything.
- 22:53Speaker 8: Right.
- 22:53Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about Producer Riley, right, the youngest
- 22:55Speaker 2: member of the show.
- 22:56Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 22:57Speaker 2: She was a year old.
- 22:57Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 22:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 22:58Speaker 1: And it's a solemn day again. It was a tough
- 23:00Speaker 1: time for us deciding everything from the topics, things that
- 23:03Speaker 1: we would talk about, how much we'd spend on 9-11.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I think it was a great story. Thank you so much, everybody,
- 23:08Speaker 1: for sharing them with us on the show this morning.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Keeping in mind, it was precisely at this very moment
- 23:16Speaker 1: that the second plane out of Boston landed. hit one
- 23:19Speaker 1: of the towers in New York City.
- 23:21Speaker 8: 9.03.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Critical time, 9.03.
- 23:24Speaker 7: Morning, morning crew.
- 23:25Speaker 11: Listener Lisa from Peabody. I just want to let you
- 23:28Speaker 11: guys know I appreciate you guys today, and I appreciated
- 23:31Speaker 11: you guys on that day. I have so many stories
- 23:36Speaker 11: about that day. There's just too many to mention, but
- 23:41Speaker 11: I just want to let you guys know how much...
- 23:45Speaker 11: You guys mean to us throughout the year, keeping us laughing.
- 23:49Speaker 11: Love you.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
- 23:50Speaker 2: We talked a lot about that, about Billy being on
- 23:52Speaker 2: the air with Maddie at that time. And people, I
- 23:55Speaker 2: have so many talkbacks from people who were listening to
- 23:57Speaker 2: Kiss 108 that day.
- 23:59Speaker 1: It was incredible.
- 24:00Speaker 12: And I want to mention John Oganowski was the pilot
- 24:04Speaker 12: of American Airlines Flight 11. And I remember his wife, Peggy,
- 24:07Speaker 12: coming on the show during the first year anniversary and
- 24:11Speaker 12: sharing her story about how they would listen all the time.
- 24:15Speaker 1: One of the pilots.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 24:17Speaker 1: And his wife was wonderful. She came in the show.
- 24:19Speaker 1: She's a listener of the show.
- 24:21Speaker 11: Wow.
- 24:21Speaker 2: And you guys stayed on the air.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Eight or nine hours. We never stopped because we just
- 24:25Speaker 1: wanted people to be able to express themselves, tell their stories,
- 24:29Speaker 1: as we did this morning on the show. And I
- 24:31Speaker 1: hope we did a good job. That was our mission.
- 24:34Speaker 2: There are so many, so many talkbacks that I'm looking at.
- 24:37Speaker 2: I mean, in the hundreds of people from their memories,
- 24:40Speaker 2: people that they've lost, teachers.
- 24:42Speaker 1: There are so many.
- 24:43Speaker 2: So thank you to everybody. Keep them coming. We do
- 24:45Speaker 2: a wrap up at 940. I'll try to sneak a
- 24:47Speaker 2: couple in there. Just a really emotional day.
- 24:50Speaker 7: I remember being in third grade, and when it happened,
- 24:53Speaker 7: we had, like, those TVs up in the classrooms, and
- 24:55Speaker 7: it went on, and the teacher completely shut it off,
- 24:58Speaker 7: and the teachers were crying.
- 25:00Speaker 5: And, like, I didn't know what was going on.
- 25:02Speaker 7: And then I got home. My mom is pregnant. She
- 25:04Speaker 7: was due in December with my little brother. And she
- 25:08Speaker 7: was smoking a pack of cigarettes, like, nonstop, and we're like.
- 25:11Speaker 5: What's going on?
- 25:12Speaker 7: And then I remember my mom sat us down to
- 25:15Speaker 7: kind of tell us what was going on, and.
- 25:16Speaker 5: We were just all scared.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Kiss 108.
- 25:20Speaker 12: It's the morning wrap up with Justin on Billy and
- 25:23Speaker 12: Lisa in the morning.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Hey, guys, welcome back to the show. Wrapping up the
- 25:27Speaker 2: Billy and Lisa show on a Friday. It is the
- 25:29Speaker 2: 25 year anniversary of 9-11. We've been talking about it
- 25:34Speaker 2: all morning long, taking calls, taking talkbacks. We have an
- 25:37Speaker 2: amazing special person on the phone, Lisa, your friend who
- 25:40Speaker 2: lost her mom.
- 25:41Speaker 3: Yeah, we went to college together.
- 25:42Speaker 12: She lost her mom on Flight 11, so she joined
- 25:44Speaker 12: us on the show and gave us some insight into
- 25:47Speaker 12: what it's been like for their family for 25 years.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Yeah, hearing her story is just– make sure you check
- 25:52Speaker 2: it out on the podcast. A lot on 9-11 today,
- 25:56Speaker 2: a lot of talkbacks. We've been playing them throughout the
- 25:58Speaker 2: whole show.
- 25:59Speaker 4: 25 years ago, I was working at a dentist's office,
- 26:03Speaker 4: and we had the radio on for light music, and
- 26:06Speaker 4: things started to come through the radio as to what
- 26:09Speaker 4: was going on. And we had the radio on in
- 26:11Speaker 4: the break room, which was Kiss 108, and we all.
- 26:15Speaker 4: Took a pause and went into the break room to
- 26:17Speaker 4: listen to what was going on and just could not
- 26:19Speaker 4: believe what we were hearing. We all started calling our
- 26:23Speaker 4: loved ones because we didn't know if the phones were
- 26:25Speaker 4: going to go out. It was so unknown and scary.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of one of those mornings where,
- 26:30Speaker 2: you know, we spend a lot of time on 9-11,
- 26:32Speaker 2: but then also that balancing act, right, of entertaining and
- 26:36Speaker 2: talking about other things as well. So we did deliver
- 26:38Speaker 2: an entertainment report. We did do that. But topic time
- 26:40Speaker 2: was mainly focused on 9-11.
- 26:42Speaker 5: Guys, thank you for the show today. I just want
- 26:45Speaker 5: to share my reflection that, you know, 25 years ago,
- 26:50Speaker 5: I grew up in South Boston. And any of those
- 26:53Speaker 5: cities or towns, you know, Winthrop, South Boston, people are
- 26:57Speaker 5: always overwhelmed at how loud the planes are. How can
- 27:00Speaker 5: you live there? How can you sleep there? And I
- 27:03Speaker 5: just remember on September 11th, how quiet it was without
- 27:07Speaker 5: those planes. Such an eerie feeling.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 27:12Speaker 9: For sure.
- 27:12Speaker 2: So podcast, I heard at Billy and Lisa in the
- 27:15Speaker 2: morning to get the show for today. Lisa, any plans
- 27:18Speaker 2: this weekend, today, what do you got going on?
- 27:19Speaker 12: Yes, okay, so I will be at the new Big
- 27:22Speaker 12: Y in Saugus. It's at 357 Broadway with the street
- 27:25Speaker 12: team from 12 to 2. They are celebrating their grand
- 27:27Speaker 12: opening there. Everyone's very excited in Saugus that there's a
- 27:30Speaker 12: Big Y. They have so many locally sourced, you know,
- 27:35Speaker 12: you know, produce and things like that from farms all
- 27:38Speaker 12: over Massachusetts and New England.
- 27:39Speaker 3: So come and join us.
- 27:40Speaker 12: The street team will be there 12 to 2 with me,
- 27:43Speaker 12: and we have lots.
- 27:44Speaker 3: Of fun giveaways.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Awesome. And when you're done at Big Y with your appearance,
- 27:48Speaker 2: you should stop and get a three-way super beef.
- 27:51Speaker 3: You know what?
- 27:51Speaker 2: Because you'll be on the North Shore.
- 27:52Speaker 3: I think I might do that.
- 27:53Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 27:53Speaker 2: We had Peter from Major League Eating on. There's an
- 27:56Speaker 2: event at Game On tomorrow on Lansdowne Street, a roast
- 28:00Speaker 2: beef sandwich eating contest. That's going to be at 1 o'clock.
- 28:03Speaker 2: That's also on the podcast, by the way. And then finally,
- 28:06Speaker 2: we gave away Ed Sheeran's tickets this morning. Sold out show,
- 28:10Speaker 2: a couple weeks. And for the first time, I think
- 28:12Speaker 2: this has happened. A live caller delivering DoorDash.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Crystal, we're sitting on a pair of tickets for Ed Sheeran.
