Best Of Billy & Lisa: Waiting In Line + Ben Mezrich · Billy & Lisa in the Morning

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's the best of Billy and Lisa in the morning.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning, so you know what that means.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: It's the best of Billy and Lisa in the morning.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I hope you're having a really good one. It's producer
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Riley here.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going to walk you through the top five moments
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: of the week, starting with number five. We got a
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: talkback from a listener asking for some dating advice, so
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: we helped her out.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Hi, guys.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: So I'm on the dating apps and I usually like
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: to set a pretty strict timeline when I'm chatting with
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: guys that I match with. I think that if there's
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: no date planned within a week of talking, then it's
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: really not going anywhere and it's a waste of time.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: But I was talking with my friend about this and
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: she thinks that that's way too short of a time frame.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: So I just don't know. Am I being unreasonable about this?
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, I think a week is plenty.
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: Okay. Well, I think it's great to set personal boundaries
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: for yourself when you're dating.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You're like, I really do.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Like this girl is doing.
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: But I also think it's very important to remain flexible
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: when you're dating. So I personally think a week is
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: too short of a time. I think, you know, give
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: them another week.
• 1:08
  Speaker 7: Let it go a little bit longer.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: A little bit longer.
• 1:10
  Speaker 7: See what happens.
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: People are busy with work and who knows like where
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: they are in their life.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: They might have kids. They might not have kids, whatever.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, I think you have to be a little
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: bit more flexible in the very beginning.
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with you.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: So in the course of an entire week, it never
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: comes up. So when are we going to see each other?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I think you're getting to know each other.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: I think that the dating app world is, and trust me,
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: they're going to be talking to other people.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: That person is not just talking to you.
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: I think the thought, too, is, and Producer Riley, you
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: can back me up on this. I know you are
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: on the dating apps, but my thought is, Give them
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: a week because they're probably talking to other people.
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: So the fact that you're not the one and you
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: maybe are not going to be the one, you just
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: move right on. Was that the thought process there?
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: And I think that it's funny because I actually had
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a conversation kind of similar to this with a friend
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: a little bit ago. And I kind of agree with her.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: I think that a week is a good.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Time frame to be like, Are you going to give
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: me your number and let's plan something off of this app?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I think if you're talking for two weeks on a
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: dating app, that's a little bit too long for me.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get to know somebody on a
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: dating app. I want to set something up and get
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: to know you in person and see if that's how
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: it's going to go. So I think a week is
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a good time frame to be like, give I'll give
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you my number. You give me your number and let's
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: set something up off of this. But I do understand
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: being like, maybe something happened, you had a busy week,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and you haven't even been on the app.
• 2:41
  Speaker 10: For a week.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Maybe you only talked once in the week.
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I do think that it is good to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: hop off the app.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: But, again, be flexible. Like, you know, just, again, just
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: maybe give it a few more days.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: Could meet the love of your life.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: A week?
• 2:56
  Speaker 11: I feel like a week is five days too long.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: All right, well, she's a quick mover. All right, yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: She wants in and out, in and out.
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: There it is.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: Go to Carrie in Hudson on line one.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Carrie in Hudson. What do you think?
• 3:12
  Speaker 12: I'd say a couple days. I've had enough.
• 3:15
  Speaker 11: I've been talking to people for months, and they're AI.
• 3:18
  Speaker 10: I end up.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: realizing they're not actually people.
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: They're bots?
• 3:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's really bad. And all of a sudden, then
• 3:27
  Speaker 11: you get asked for money or something like that. So
• 3:29
  Speaker 11: now I'm just like, hey, within a day, I'm like,
• 3:32
  Speaker 11: do you want to meet? And they're like, well, I'd
• 3:33
  Speaker 11: like to get to know you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 13: I'm like, this is AI.
• 3:36
  Speaker 14: And then I'm off again.
• 3:38
  Speaker 11: I go on to the next person.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Boy, I just learned something. The bots are invading dating apps?
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, they're scammers. So they're not. They're like fake people.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: Or maybe real people pretending to be somebody else to
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: get money.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: That's horrible because you're like really taking advantage of someone's
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: like emotional state.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: It's bad enough that you're single.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Right. Trying to meet somebody.
• 3:57
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: Striking out.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: And then they want to take your money.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: What do you say? The date's going to cost you 500.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Like I don't even get it. That is quite the hustle.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: They just want your routing number. That's all they care about.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Let's go to Emily in Wakefield.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Emily, good morning. And in Wakefield, what do you think?
• 4:15
  Speaker 15: I think that a week is not enough time to
• 4:21
  Speaker 15: give the guy enough time to see if they want
• 4:25
  Speaker 15: to go out on a date.
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: So I don't think a week is.
• 4:32
  Speaker 15: I think they need to give some time.
• 4:36
  Speaker 14: And if I was on a dating app, I would
• 4:39
  Speaker 14: like to have a day within.
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: The next two weeks.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: A week, I need.
• 4:44
  Speaker 10: I need.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Like two weeks to gather if I want to go
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: on a date, too.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: So.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: So two weeks is her her limit.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: But I think, again, it depends on how many times
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: in that one particular week you've actually had a conversation.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Well, how right. You went on a date recently or
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: a couple of dates.
• 5:00
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: How long were you talking to that guy before you
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: went out?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Um, so the guy that I've been dating recently, coffee
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: shop guy, I think we talked on the app for
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: a couple of days, a week max. And then he
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: gave me his number and we set something up within
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the next week.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: So a week on the app, a couple of days
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: via text. And then we saw each other.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: He gave you his number. He didn't ask for yours.
• 5:24
  Speaker 12: He gave me his number.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: And he didn't ask for money.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: He did not ask for money.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Thank God.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And did he pay for the coffee?
• 5:32
  Speaker 12: Yes, he did.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: How's that going, by the way? It's good. I like him.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: Still going good?
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Wow, did she get that? Oh, she got the little shot.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, look at that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: It's not just coffee anymore.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: Oh, she graduated up.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, good for you.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: That's an omelet.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Good morning, morning crew.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: This is Erin from Soberka.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: I do not think that a week is too.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Short of a span.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: I think that something should be in the works where
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: it should be talked about. And if it's not talked
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: about hanging out, then yes, it is a waste of time.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's very perfectly put. It's within a week.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I think you should know if you want to at
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: least meet somebody for a first date. A first date
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: is nothing. Like, you could meet somebody and be like,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I don't like you at all.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: It's not even a date, really.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Right. It's just you're seeing someone in person.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a screening process.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: Well, that's why I like the coffee shop idea.
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: I really like that a lot.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Always start at a coffee shop.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: Really quick during the day, coffee and a biscuit. What
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: could be better?
• 6:31
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: So in response to the dating question, if you're under 25,
• 6:36
  Speaker 10: a week is way too long. If you're over 25
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: and employed.
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: A week is not that long. If you know, you know.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I agree with her. That's what
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 6:47
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: What lives, busy lives.
• 6:50
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: And at one point, if it keeps going on, it's
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: like you've got nothing else to do. Just give her
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: a call. You know, it's like that does happen. Hey,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: what do you say we grab a cup of coffee? Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: That does happen.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I've had friends.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Or something else doesn't work out. You're like, I'll go
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: back to that original one.
• 7:06
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: I've had friends.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Same thing has happened. Guys, come on now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 12: We all know these dating apps are only meant to
• 7:13
  Speaker 12: find pen pals.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: If you mean people in real life, you're doing it wrong.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Okay. Okay.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: What?
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: The talkbacks are just, you know, they just, they send
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: them in. We can't, we try to screen them. But
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: it's like the wild, wild west. Say whatever you want.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's a judgment-free zone.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, listen. You can say whatever you want.
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: I might want to talk a little bit longer than
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: a week because one of the craziest dates I've ever
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: been on from Hinge is going on a date with
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: someone I didn't talk to long enough, and I needed
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: a dog sitter. He said his friend could watch my
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: dog during our date. We show up at the friend's house.
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: Turns out it was the guy I went on a
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: date with a few weeks ago.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: What are the odds?
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: That is awesome. That's why I love the Chalk Packers.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That's a good story.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: This is the number four moment right here. There is
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: a restaurant in the North End that is blowing up
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: right now and constantly has a line for their chicken sandwich.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: So we are talking things that you would wait in
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: a long line for.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Kelsey says she waited 17 hours in line for a
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: festival that the Jonas Brothers were performing at.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Hold on.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: 17 hours?
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: 17 hours in line, yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: Sabrina said she waited in line for Kiss for Kiss
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: concert tickets.
• 8:31
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: Back in the day. At the Orpheum box office.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: And then Jennifer said she waited in line for a
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: Nintendo Switch. And it was fun because everyone was socializing
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: and it was a blast.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: I guess that's one plus. You meet people.
• 8:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: If you are all in and you just decide, like,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: this is what I'm doing, yeah, then talk to your
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: neighbors and have fun and make new friends.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: My wife sat on Lansdowne Street for 13 hours trying
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: to get to the front of the pit for Post Malone.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: And she had a great time. It was all Post
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: Malone fans. She still talks to some of the people.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: So I guess there are pluses to it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: There are pluses.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like I said earlier this morning, the only thing
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I've really waited in line for recently for a long
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: time was Boston Calling merch. It just the line was
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: I didn't realize how long it was going to be.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: And then 45 minutes in, you're like, well, I'm not
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: going to leave the line now. So I just kept waiting,
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: and then you start talking to people, and it was fun.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: I remember you called me from the line.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: And once I got to the front of the line,
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: I bought one of everything just because it was like
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I might as.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: You were right. It's like I waited for an.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: Hour and a half. You might as well stay there.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: I mean I used to wait for sneakers a lot,
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: but that's when I was younger. I wouldn't do that anymore.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: And the worst thing was I'd be in line for
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: hours camping out sometimes for sneaker releases, and then you
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: just watch– Like friends and family of the store walk
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: right past you.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, that happens with everything.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: Walk away.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: It's like if you're waiting in line for a chicken
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: cutlet sandwich on Hanover Street in the North End.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Friends and family are coming.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: The line.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Well, they're going in the back door.
• 10:02
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a hot chicken cutlet sandwich in the North
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: End that apparently people are.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Waiting hours for.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: In Boston and New York. Wow. They have a location
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in New York City that just opened, too.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: Is that the table?
• 10:13
  Speaker 16: Yep.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Mercado. Yeah.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: I mean, I want to try this chicken sandwich.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: I don't know if I'd wait hours, though.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: That's... It's a chicken sandwich.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: It's a chicken sandwich.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: No matter how you cut it. I mean, it could
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: be fried chicken, chicken salad, grilled chicken.
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: You can also wait till the hype dies down, too.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like that. Remember the crazy bagel place in the
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: South End? Yes. And people were like... The bagel drop.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: It was like... You had to reserve.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: A bagel online two weeks in advance.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: There's also a noodle place in the Back Bay right
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: off Newbury Street. I always see a line wrapped around
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: the block every single time I'm in Boston.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: For noodles?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: And it's been open for years.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: It's crazy.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: But don't you think now, especially in 2026, social media...
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: People want to be seen there.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: They want to maybe post a review.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: A lot of it is influencers.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: So they're willing to wait in line. However long it takes.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: In other words, the payoff is more than just eating
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: the food. It's also the video, the reel that they're
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: going to create.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: Or the TikTok.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: I mean, I want to see Oasis next summer really bad.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: I did not get tickets. They're impossible to get. I
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: may wait in line if there was an opportunity to
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: get Oasis tickets.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: You would get in a physical line.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: You don't strike me as an Oasis fan, but you
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: also don't strike me as a line person.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: I just want to see them do Wonderwall, honestly, at Gillette.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: Wonderwall live? I feel like that's a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Well, maybe there's an Oasis cover band we can bring
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: into the studio someday.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: Or I could watch it on YouTube.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: And they can do Wonderwall.
• 11:47
  Speaker 17: That's true.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Go to John in Boston.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: How cool would that be? That would be really cool.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: What up, John?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: John, what's up?
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: What's up? What's happening?
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: So would you wait or have you waited in a
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: long line for something?
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: I have waited. It wasn't planned to wait. Me and
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: my buddies went to Boston College to party, have a
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: good time, and then we just happened to see the
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: line forming in front of the Fenway at like 2
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: in the morning. And we had to get that back
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: to school on Sunday, but we're like, yeah, let's just
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: wait and go to the game Sunday. So we ended
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: up waiting about 15 hours, box office to open.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Now, what was the ticket for?
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: Red Sox-Yankees playoffs.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: Ah, okay.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: I could see that. I could see that, John.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Big sports fan.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: 15 hours.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: 15 hours for a Red Sox game. Again, call me crazy.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: I'm just thinking sit on the couch, cold beer.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: And not only that, right? And this goes with when
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: you spend a lot of money on something like a game.
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: You wait 15 hours and then they lose. And it's
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: like even more depressing.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but the experience. It's having fun.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Years later, you'll say I was there for that game.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a memory.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: I get that.
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: Gabrielle is online too.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Gabby.
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: Hi, good morning.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Is it okay if we call you Gabby?
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, everyone calls me that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, good. Tell us about the line.
• 13:19
  Speaker 11: Okay, I would wait hours in line for the Cheesecake Factory.
• 13:24
  Speaker 11: I love their Linda's Fudge Cake, especially the chicken madera
• 13:30
  Speaker 11: that they have with extra mushrooms. Everything about the Cheesecake
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: Factory is amazing.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: It is good.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Call me crazy. Can't you just walk into the Cheesecake
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Factory anytime you want?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: No.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: There's always a line.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: There's always a line. Really?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: There's always a wait.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's always a line at the Cheesecake.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I've waited.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: I've waited probably at least a half an hour.
• 13:51
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: For Cheesecake Factory.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: So you'd sit on a bench or something for a
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: half hour.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Or you go walk around. They give you one of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: those things that buzz, and then you can just walk around.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you can actually walk. If it's in the mall,
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: you can walk around. You don't have to legit wait.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: So they give you one of those buzzers or something?
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Lights up.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: But it's not that bad. It's like 30 minutes. I
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: wouldn't wait more than 30 minutes.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: That seems a little crazy.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Typically, like at a restaurant, yeah, we have a 45-minute wait.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: That's okay.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that, but I'm going to go down the street.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't, you know, like just.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: You're not a line person.
• 14:23
  Speaker 17: No.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: Definitely not. And I feel like as I get older,
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: I'm not either. You know?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: Let's go to Stacy in Everett, right down the street.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Hey, Stacy.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: Good morning.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: What have we got for us? You waiting in a line,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: or are you going to wait in a line?
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: No, I did wait in a line for a toy.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: It was called a Hatchimal, and it was a little animal.
• 14:44
  Speaker 14: That came out of an egg, and I waited... Approximately
• 14:48
  Speaker 14: 17 hours, I got the Hatchimal, and on Christmas morning,
• 14:52
  Speaker 14: when you play.
• 14:52
  Speaker 11: With it, it starts to make noise, to hatch, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 11: my dog ate it. So my son never got to
• 14:58
  Speaker 11: have a.
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: Hatchimal on Christmas morning.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: I didn't see that coming.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: I remember the Hatchimals, Stacey. I'm looking at them right now.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: I remember.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: 17 hours and the dog ate it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: It's producer Riley counting down the top five moments of
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the week with you because this is the best of
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Billy and Lisa in the morning. The number three moment
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: goes to one of our topic times from this week.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Something that you would wait in a long line for
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: or even better, something that you have waited in a
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: long line for.
• 15:26
  Speaker 16: Do you remember the band Lifehouse?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I once waited outside the Plymouth.
• 15:30
  Speaker 16: Memorial Hall for six hours with my friend to try
• 15:34
  Speaker 16: to get front row and general admission. There was one
• 15:37
  Speaker 16: other girl that waited the whole time. We chatted it
• 15:39
  Speaker 16: up and she ended up getting selected to get meet
• 15:42
  Speaker 16: and greet passes out back. And she took me with
• 15:45
  Speaker 16: her instead of the friend she brought. It was totally
• 15:48
  Speaker 16: worth it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: That's awesome. Refresh my memory. Lifehouse. Oh, yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 11: Jam.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I'm Ember.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Such a jam.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: I'm Ember. That worked out well for her.
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: We waited in line last Sunday during the Nor'easter from
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: about 10 a.m. to the barricade for the role model
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: show last Sunday.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: It was great.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: So not just waiting in line, but waiting in line
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: during a Nor'easter.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I was at that show, and I will say
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: the pit was pretty small, and I didn't wait at all,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: and I felt like I was decently close. So props
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to them for being like, no, I need to be
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: against the stage.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you want to be right in the front. That's
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: what my wife with Post Malone, 13 hours.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I remember she was right in front.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: She brought her own toilet, her own mini toilet.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Didn't she wear a diaper?
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: She didn't wear the diaper.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: She brought the little toilet. Did she use the toilet?
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah. But she waited all that time, and she got
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: right in the front, right? But it's a long line
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: of people in the front, right?
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: So Post Malone came down at the end like he
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: always does, and he greets the fans, and he takes selfies.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: And he was making his way down, and he stopped.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: At the girl right before my wife.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: That is so not fair.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: And turned around and walked away.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, and Lisa had a question. Did she use the toilet?
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Of course, yeah.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: She did?
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: On the street.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: How?
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: How did she cover up?
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: It's a mini toilet. Well, I wasn't there, but she
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: probably hid herself somewhere. Yeah, it's very handy. We keep
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: it in the car. We used it this weekend with
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: my daughter on the highway. She had to pee so
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: badly and pulled over.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: You have them for little kids.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and she used it as well.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Love that wife of mine.
• 17:29
  Speaker 13: The only long line I'll stand in for is Taylor Swift.
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: So at Gillette Stadium, I went to the merch stand
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: the day before the concerts and stood in.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: That line, which wasn't even bad.
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: But she's probably.
• 17:44
  Speaker 11: The only person or thing that I stand in line for.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I remember that.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Taylor had the merch trucks in the morning down there
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: at Foxborough, right?
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: She had exclusive stuff on it, too.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I never had to wait in that line because
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I worked the event and snuck into the merch line.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: There was, like, nobody there because I didn't have the
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: tickets to get into that section.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: But I was like, I'm working. It was like the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: blue pullover or something. And I got that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: We broadcasted live.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: We did.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: From the stadium.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: All right, this can't be real. Let's go to Billy's
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: old hometown, Linfield, Anita, on line one.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, I knew an Anita in Linfield. Good morning, Anita.
• 18:22
  Speaker 14: Good morning, everybody. I got bit by the Starbucks teddy bear,
• 18:27
  Speaker 14: glass teddy bear zombie last year because I don't wait
• 18:31
  Speaker 14: in line for anything. And I got up at 4
• 18:34
  Speaker 14: o'clock in the morning, went to the Starbucks in Linfield
• 18:38
  Speaker 14: and And they had no idea what anyone.
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: Was talking about.
• 18:41
  Speaker 14: They waited there for hours and hours. Then I went
• 18:45
  Speaker 14: to the Target in Saugus. And I was like, oh,
• 18:48
  Speaker 14: I'm the first in line.
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: This is amazing.
• 18:50
  Speaker 14: I can see the teddy bears. They've got 20 of them.
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: I'm good to go.
• 18:54
  Speaker 14: And I'm waiting in line. And then more people are
• 18:56
  Speaker 14: showing up and showing up. And I'm realizing, this isn't
• 18:59
  Speaker 14: a queue. I'm not number one. This is Black Friday.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: And I sustained.
• 19:05
  Speaker 14: an injury to my leg, and I'm going to PT.
• 19:08
  Speaker 14: It's been a year, and I'm going to PT right now.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Okay, now we're talking. Okay, hold on. Wait, how did
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: that happen? What happened to the leg?
• 19:15
  Speaker 14: You know, I was standing there for probably two and
• 19:20
  Speaker 14: a half hours.
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: It was cold.
• 19:21
  Speaker 14: It was around this time last year, I think, maybe
• 19:23
  Speaker 14: like in November. And I'm just waiting there, and I
• 19:27
  Speaker 14: think my adrenaline– just got the better of me, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 14: my leg cramped up, and I just kept running, even
• 19:35
  Speaker 14: though I really shouldn't have. I got my teddy bear,
• 19:37
  Speaker 14: but I also am going to PT right now.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: A year later.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Wait, are you still using the teddy bear?
• 19:44
  Speaker 14: No, I used it for a month.
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: I should have sold it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 14: It was selling for like five grand.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: I should have sold it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's in the bottom of your cabinet.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Where is it now?
• 19:55
  Speaker 14: It's at the top of the cabinet, and I don't
• 19:57
  Speaker 14: even drink coffee. I wanted to put my healthy.
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: Smoothies in it.
• 20:01
  Speaker 14: But because there's so many crevices in the beer, it
• 20:04
  Speaker 14: gets stuck, and it's disgusting. The whole thing has to
• 20:07
  Speaker 14: be thrown out.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Well, just throw it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: When you hang up, just go right to the cabinet
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: and throw the damn thing out. You're still in PT
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: a year later over this stupid jar. It was a waste.
• 20:21
  Speaker 14: I regret it. I never wait in line.
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: I show up to concerts late.
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: I refuse, and I did it for this.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: That is such a good story.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Never again.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Take care of the leg of need.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: She could sell it. I see them listed here, $ 40.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: $ 90.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: She needs to clean it out.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Smoothie stuff.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they dropped November 5th of last year. We talked
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: She's living in Linfield. She doesn't need the $ 40.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: Oh, is that what it is?
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the jar is just sitting there. She could have
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: sold it for five grand.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: It wasn't about the money. It was about the jar.
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: I just love the fact that she's freezing and then
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: stops running.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: She's still in PT over it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, man, that's going to be me this weekend at
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: my race. Running and cramping and cramp.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, my.
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: Back in 2023. My daughter and I stood in the
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: merch line at Boston Calling, chatting with all the people
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: in line, and all of a sudden this guy drove
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: by in a golf cart and yelled, Half the people
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: in line didn't know who it was, but it was
• 21:20
  Speaker 13: Noah Kahn before he got huge.
• 21:23

• 22:33
  Speaker 2: It's so funny that you say that. Again, she's like
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: a former Patriots cheerleader. She is. Oh, I didn't even
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: know that. Yeah.
• 22:40
  Speaker 17: And one of the reasons why she's probably still sleeping
• 22:42
  Speaker 17: right now is last night I went to bed about,
• 22:44
  Speaker 17: 12.31 and.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: She was making nachos. See what I mean? I'm not
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: even lying.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: She's a late night eater.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, she's a late night eater. Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: So you don't make that up on your Instagram posts.
• 22:54
  Speaker 17: No, no, no.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: That's day to day life. I wish I knew.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: It's a metabolism. Yeah.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: She's got a fast metabolism.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I always say she eats the food I gain the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: weight and how it works out. Wow.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: And she loves eating in the car, I noticed.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, in the car or in bed.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: And in bed.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: She was very nice last night to let me go
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: to sleep, and then she ate in the couch. So
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Lisa does not allow food.
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: In the bed.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: That's my one place.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it makes sense.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: So, Mike, are you under pressure to have a good
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: amount of food here at your event on Saturday or what?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 23:29
  Speaker 17: But the thing is, she's not like a big eater
• 23:31
  Speaker 17: like in public or on people it's more like oh
• 23:33
  Speaker 17: she's a closet eater but we will have uh that
• 23:37
  Speaker 17: makes it sound like a uh or something but uh
• 23:41
  Speaker 17: no but there won't be food for mystique there which
• 23:43
  Speaker 17: we all love mystique.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: So is kelsey designing the menu uh well we help
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: pick out.
• 23:47
  Speaker 17: Like the it's just like shared apps not gonna make
• 23:49
  Speaker 17: a sit-down meal but She helped take all of this down.
• 23:52
  Speaker 17: She definitely helped design all the graphics for the event
• 23:54
  Speaker 17: and all that kind of stuff.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: All the detail things that I'm not very good at.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: How can people get tickets if they want to go?
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: We should actually say what the event is because we haven't.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: The V Family Foundation.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So we launched a V Family Foundation.
• 24:09
  Speaker 17: All the money supports local families here in the greater
• 24:11
  Speaker 17: Boston area suffering from We're actually going through rare disease
• 24:17
  Speaker 17: and special needs. So the connection to that for us
• 24:19
  Speaker 17: is pretty close because Kelsey's brother.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Has a rare disease called Angelman syndrome.
• 24:23
  Speaker 17: And she's seen firsthand her entire life. And even we're
• 24:26
  Speaker 17: talking about it last night, but even now in her
• 24:28
  Speaker 17: current life, how tough that can be.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Her brother is amazing, but he's older. He's about 37
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: years old. He's in a wheelchair. He's a nonverbal, bigger guy.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: But it's made, you know, just their family dynamic and
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: their day-to-day life very hard.
• 24:39
  Speaker 17: And then my mom, a lot of people back home
• 24:42
  Speaker 17: in Framingham know my mom. Her name's Carol, but we
• 24:44
  Speaker 17: call her Mommy V.
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: Mommy V.
• 24:46
  Speaker 17: But she's been a special ed teacher in Framingham for
• 24:48
  Speaker 17: 50 years. And we call her, like, the Tom Brady
• 24:50
  Speaker 17: of teaching because she's retired twice and then keeps coming back.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: So she's still going. Thank God, right?
• 24:56
  Speaker 17: If you walk around Framingham, people will call her the
• 24:59
  Speaker 17: GOAT because she's helped so many families. And the really
• 25:01
  Speaker 17: cool thing about my mom is– We can be walking
• 25:03
  Speaker 17: at TJ Maxx and somebody like, oh, my God, Carol Vinci,
• 25:07
  Speaker 17: you changed our life.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome.
• 25:09
  Speaker 17: And so she has seen firsthand how tough it can
• 25:11
  Speaker 17: be for families, you know, who have a kid with
• 25:13
  Speaker 17: special needs and how amazing it can be as well.
• 25:16
  Speaker 17: So our goal is, you know, come together, raise money
• 25:18
  Speaker 17: and then go and help families go through those scenarios
• 25:21
  Speaker 17: here in the greater Boston area. And also helping them
• 25:24
  Speaker 17: or getting them a playbook. to get state funding for things,
• 25:27
  Speaker 17: to get help when the child becomes older, like over 18.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: So people will see their money at work.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, 100%. We're not going to write a
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: check to anybody. There's going to be no, like, big donations.
• 25:37
  Speaker 17: It's going to be, you know, we show up at
• 25:39
  Speaker 17: a house or a family and really, whether it's get
• 25:42
  Speaker 17: them a wheelchair, build them a.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Ramp, help them.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Transportation.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Transportation is a big one.
• 25:46
  Speaker 17: That's what my wife Kelsey was talking about last night,
• 25:48
  Speaker 17: or helping them pay for, like, at-home care. So what
• 25:51
  Speaker 17: we want to do is show up, give the help,
• 25:53
  Speaker 17: and then not disappear and like follow up in a
• 25:55
  Speaker 17: couple months.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: No.
• 25:56
  Speaker 17: And kind of build like a relationship of people going
• 25:59
  Speaker 17: through these things. Because really, my mom and my wife,
• 26:02
  Speaker 17: outside of financial help, can give just like mental help
• 26:04
  Speaker 17: or a shoulder to talk to or somebody to call
• 26:06
  Speaker 17: late night or just, hey, how can I get help
• 26:08
  Speaker 17: for this?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Or what did you guys do? Or what families do
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: you know that help like this?
• 26:12
  Speaker 17: So really- it's more than just showing up and helping,
• 26:15
  Speaker 17: but just kind of being there for them.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Throughout the month.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: So the launch party is this Saturday night. It's at
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: Encore inside Memoir. What's going to be happening? Because we're
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: going to sell this out.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Here we go. Right now is the big sell.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: We're going to sell it out. Here we go. What's happening?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: It actually is.
• 26:28
  Speaker 17: It's coming together to be a really cool night with
• 26:31
  Speaker 17: a lot of entertainment. So first off, we're going to
• 26:33
  Speaker 17: have a magician.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: You guys know that I did magic growing up?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, I love magicians.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: You're a magician?
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he told me that the other day. I couldn't
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: believe it.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when I was like 13, I did a show
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: at Ritz-Carlton in Boston many years ago. Anyways, well, I
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: was really laughing at him.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: He could actually pick your pocket. You wouldn't even laugh.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I already did, so... I won't.
• 26:55
  Speaker 17: But Ben Nemzer, he's a world-renowned magician. I kind of
• 26:59
  Speaker 17: like lucked out on this one. He's from LA, performs
• 27:01
  Speaker 17: in Vegas, but he's doing a cruise out of Boston
• 27:05
  Speaker 17: on Sunday. So he's randomly in town for a couple nights,
• 27:08
  Speaker 17: and I reached out to him, and he was like
• 27:10
  Speaker 17: all about it, definitely happy to help. So as you
• 27:13
  Speaker 17: walk in, it's going to be him and two other
• 27:14
  Speaker 17: magicians that I worked with doing like street magic, so
• 27:16
  Speaker 17: kind of like– You're going to get a welcome drink
• 27:18
  Speaker 17: as you walk in from Watertown Whiskey.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice. And then you're going to have some food.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: He'll be doing street magic, but he's also going to
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: do a quick magic show.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: So he's going to work the room.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: He's working the room. Okay.
• 27:28
  Speaker 17: And then we also have a friend of your guy's show,
• 27:30
  Speaker 17: Janelle Draper, who's a big local comedian. This is a
• 27:34
  Speaker 17: kind of crazy story, too, but she's been on your
• 27:35
  Speaker 17: show a bunch. She went to Stonehill with me. She
• 27:38
  Speaker 17: is on her honeymoon right now. And flying back Saturday
• 27:41
  Speaker 17: morning to perform at the event. Now, that is dedication.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: That is dedication.
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: And that's a good friend.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. She's a very good friend. So we have
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: both of them performing.
• 27:50
  Speaker 17: We have my good friend, Danny T, who helps out
• 27:52
  Speaker 17: with Lisa's book club all the time.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Great DJ. He'll be emceeing and DJing. And then we
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: also have a really cool DJ.
• 27:57
  Speaker 17: That comes in and DJs and plays like hand, like
• 28:00
  Speaker 17: bongo type drums while doing that.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: You don't get enough bongos these days.
• 28:03
  Speaker 17: We're going to get plenty of bongos this weekend.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: It's just going to be like a really cool event
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: that's going to be.
• 28:11
  Speaker 17: Different things we don't see every time when we go
• 28:13
  Speaker 17: out in Boston, and just a lot of great people
• 28:15
  Speaker 17: coming together for a great cause. And I think people
• 28:18
  Speaker 17: are going to meet like-minded people, too, at the event,
• 28:20
  Speaker 17: which is really cool.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: Mikey, you're burying the lead here, bud.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Billy Costa!
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Mikey, go back to sleep. You just ruined it. Billy
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: Costa will be there. You're going to be on stage, bud.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Mike wanted some help with the live auction.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: You've got some great live auction items, right?
• 28:39
  Speaker 17: Yes, we do have some big live auction items, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 17: I messed up the lead, as Justin said.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: It's okay.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: But Billy Costa, who's one of the best at auctioneering.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, he's 100% the best. We're going to offer up
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: several increments.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: If you feel like making a donation, quick and easy,
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: just put your hand in the air.
• 28:56
  Speaker 17: We will constantly put the money in the bag.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: In the bag is where the money goes.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: So he's filling up the bag for us. Well, I
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: was thinking it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Would be cool to have us all on stage during
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: the live auction, you know, pointing at people, getting the
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: bids up, you know what I mean?
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, Lisa will be there, so I think Lisa,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: you can jump on. Gianna is going to be there
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: from the afternoon show. She'll jump on.
• 29:16
  Speaker 17: But our live auction items include One is a four-night
• 29:20
  Speaker 17: getaway for 10 people in Palm Springs. There's a really
• 29:22
  Speaker 17: nice Airbnb.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: With a sauna. I'm sorry, 10 people in Palm Springs?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: That's super fun. The Airbnb is a big house with
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: a big pool, has a sauna.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: That's got your name on it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: You got a bit on that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: You know it's so funny.
• 29:37
  Speaker 17: I'm actually worried about that because last time my wife
• 29:39
  Speaker 17: was like, I kind of really want this one.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: You can skip Columbia and go right to Palm Springs.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Similar activities.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: We can only hope.
• 29:54
  Speaker 17: So that's a four-night stay at a beautiful Airbnb. Watertown
• 29:58
  Speaker 17: Whiskey actually is the one that gave us that to
• 29:59
  Speaker 17: give away. That's right near Palm Springs.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Also, we have a getaway to San Diego, which is
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: pretty big.
• 30:04
  Speaker 17: So we have a two-night stay at the Pendry Hotel,
• 30:07
  Speaker 17: one of the best hotels in San Diego.
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: Wow.
• 30:09
  Speaker 17: You'll get a dinner, a high-end dinner both nights. You
• 30:11
  Speaker 17: get breakfast both days. And you'll get $ 500 towards your flight.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: That's the best weather on earth, San Diego.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: San Diego really is the best weather on earth.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Lisa's sister lives there.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in Del Mar. And your brother lives there.
• 30:23
  Speaker 17: Yeah. So it's really like a fun little getaway. We'll
• 30:26
  Speaker 17: try and cover as much as we can for you
• 30:27
  Speaker 17: to get out there. And then we also have from
• 30:29
  Speaker 17: Blue Hill Helicopters, we have a helicopter tour of Boston.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: This is good.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. This is pretty crazy. I've done this.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: It's amazing.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, talk about a perfect experience. And you never.
• 30:38
  Speaker 17: You'll never understand Boston. We lived there our whole life.
• 30:41
  Speaker 17: But when you see it from a helicopter and you're
• 30:42
  Speaker 17: flying over Fenway, you're flying over all these little parts
• 30:45
  Speaker 17: of Boston and we have such a historic city.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: So they're going to give away a tour.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: Billy's not doing that one, though.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: He's not giving it away.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: You're saying he's going to auction that prize off or no.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Would you rather him not?
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: Well, he does a great helicopter impression. I mean, you've
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: done that before, Bill.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he could do that on stage.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: Wear your eye in the sky while you're on the helicopter.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: Check out Route 93. We've got a tie-up in 93
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: heading northbound by exit 46.
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: Mike, you know who you're dealing with right now?
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: He is a pro.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Should I do that on stage? I'm not going to
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: be laughing. Are you going to be okay?
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be fine.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Here it is, the number one moment of the week.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Ben Masaryk joined us in studio. He is the author
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: of the book, The Antisocial Network, which got turned into
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: the movie, The Social.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Network, about Facebook.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: And the sequel to that movie is out this weekend.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: So he told us all about it.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: For starters, The Social Reckoning.
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: The Social Reckoning is out.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: It's in theaters this weekend. Social Network was the original,
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: which everybody loved. I'm going to watch it again this weekend.
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: Oh, you're going to watch The Social Network again.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: So I can be ready for The Social Reckoning.
• 31:50
  Speaker 12: Can you come over to my house and we'll watch
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: it together? Oh, are we going to have.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: A viewing party?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: We could do that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: So The Social Reckoning takes place 15 years later. So
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: I wrote the book that became The Social Network. And
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: we had David Fincher direct it. Aaron Sorkin wrote the script.
• 32:06
  Speaker 12: This is Aaron wrote and directed it. And it takes
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: place 15 years later. And so it's a continuation or
• 32:13
  Speaker 12: a companion piece. To the social network. So it's not
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: the same story or maybe the same vibe, but it's
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: sort of a continuation of where Facebook ended up 15
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: years later.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: And Lisa, you and I are invited to a screening.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, we are on Monday night.
• 32:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, there's a screen we're seeing and I'm actually going
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: to be seeing the whole movie for the first time.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: On Monday night.
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: I'm as curious as everyone else out there. So it's
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: a cool thing. I think Aaron is an amazing writer.
• 32:43
  Speaker 12: I think it's going to be a very different movie
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: than The Social Network.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Is it the guy from Succession, I think?
• 32:47
  Speaker 12: It's the guy, Jeremy Strong, who I think does an
• 32:51
  Speaker 12: amazing job as Zuckerberg, the stuff I've seen. And he's
• 32:55
  Speaker 12: like super method. So apparently when he showed up on set,
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: he was already Mark Zuckerberg.
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: He didn't.
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: He never broke character even at home during the whole shoot.
• 33:03
  Speaker 12: So some people find that insane. But I think he
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: I think he captured a different mark than Jesse Eisenberg did.
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: And they did want Jesse back. Everybody wanted to see
• 33:13
  Speaker 12: Jesse play it again. They offered him a truckload of money.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Why didn't he want to do it?
• 33:18
  Speaker 12: He said he didn't. You know, I think everyone thought
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: he would come back. And he just basically was. Didn't
• 33:23
  Speaker 12: want to be Zuckerberg. Didn't want to be Zuckerberg his
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: whole life. I don't think he loves Zuckerberg. And he
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: didn't want to play that character. And I think this
• 33:33
  Speaker 12: is an older– like we've all seen Zuckerberg change. When
• 33:36
  Speaker 12: he was a college kid, he was a lovable nerd
• 33:39
  Speaker 12: running around, angry, angry lovable nerd. And then he became–
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: You know, I get fitness buff and MMA necklace wearing
• 33:48
  Speaker 12: surfing Zuckerberg, who still doesn't seem like a real boy.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Like he's very robotic.
• 33:54
  Speaker 12: And I think in this movie, he's he's more of
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: the robot than he is.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Such a classic movie. A lot to live up to
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: with the social.
• 34:01
  Speaker 12: Well, I think that's part of the reason of not
• 34:03
  Speaker 12: sort of making it a straight sequel is the idea
• 34:05
  Speaker 12: is don't. Just compare it to the social network. It's
• 34:08
  Speaker 12: a hard comparison. I mean, they killed. I mean, the
• 34:11
  Speaker 12: social network was the greatest, in my opinion. And I
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: know I'm biased, but it's the best movie made in
• 34:15
  Speaker 12: the last 20 years.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: One of my favorite.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: It's in my top.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 34:18
  Speaker 12: And I was I was just fortunate enough to sort
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: of get that weird phone call. I mean, the social
• 34:22
  Speaker 12: network started with a weird email in the middle of
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: the night, 2 a.m. My best friend founded Facebook and
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: no one's ever heard of him. And I went out
• 34:28
  Speaker 12: to Bar 10 at the West End Hotel.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: And in walked this college kid. And he didn't look
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: like Garfield. I mean, he looked like, you know, the
• 34:35
  Speaker 12: human version of an actor. Like he looked like Andrew
• 34:37
  Speaker 12: Garfield being kicked a couple of times. But anyways, he
• 34:40
  Speaker 12: sat down and had a couple of beers and he
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: started the conversation by saying, Mark Zuckerberg effed me. And
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: I was like, oh, tell me more. I want to
• 34:48
  Speaker 12: hear the story. And this was 2008. No one really
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: knew what Facebook was. And he told me this crazy story.
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: And so I wrote a 10 page book proposal, which
• 34:56
  Speaker 12: I called Face Off, which is a horrible title. And
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: it leaked onto the Internet. And that day they settled
• 35:05
  Speaker 12: with Eduardo for five billion dollars to try and stop
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: him from talking to me. And he cut off all
• 35:10
  Speaker 12: contact with me. He broke up with his girlfriend who
• 35:12
  Speaker 12: was Tanya's best friend. And he moved to Singapore, never
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: to be heard from again.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: But he had you with the line, he effed me.
• 35:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Let's keep talking. Can I get another drink?
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I know, but we've never heard this part of the story.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker 12: And then my proposal was on the Internet, and suddenly
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: Aaron Sorkin saw the proposal online, and David Fincher saw
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: the proposal online, and they called and said, we want
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: to make this into a movie. But I hadn't actually
• 35:35
  Speaker 12: written a book yet. So I locked myself in the
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: Westin Hotel in Boston because, you know, Tanya and I
• 35:41
  Speaker 12: were just married and a little kid and we couldn't really.
• 35:44
  Speaker 12: So I basically locked myself up and I just started writing.
• 35:47
  Speaker 12: And Aaron Sorkin was in the next hotel room next
• 35:50
  Speaker 12: to me. And I was like giving him chapters. And
• 35:53
  Speaker 12: it was crazy, Aaron, at the time. It was still
• 35:55
  Speaker 12: pretty crazy. So it was this wild experience. And that
• 35:58
  Speaker 12: became the social network. And so this is sort of.
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: You know, where does Facebook take us from there? Because
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: when Facebook started, it was supposed to be this village
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: and we all live online.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: And then it became something else.
• 36:10
  Speaker 12: And it ended up becoming this fake news kind of–
• 36:13
  Speaker 12: and you can– all of.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: The stuff that– Which was sad that it became a
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: fake news thing.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: It's one of my favorite lines of all time, though.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: If you could have invented Facebook, you would have invented Facebook. Right, right.
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: I mean, I love it. And the whole Winklevii side
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: of it.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Totally.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: The twins. Yeah.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Crazy twins.
• 36:28
  Speaker 12: So anyways, yeah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, if you're just listening, we've got Ben Mesrick in here.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: He's one of the greatest writers of all time. And
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: refresh everybody's memory, some of the books that you've written
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: that have been turned into movies.
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: Okay, so Bringing Down the House was about the MIT
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: blackjack team, and it came in the movie 21, which
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: starred Kevin Spacey and Lawrence Fishburne and Kate Bosworth. And
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: then I wrote Dumb Money, which was about the GameStop drama.
• 36:52
  Speaker 12: I wrote for the show Billions for a couple seasons.
• 36:54
  Speaker 12: So if you're a Billions fan on Showtime, that was
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: one of mine. So I've had three movies, and I
• 37:01
  Speaker 12: have a couple in development right now. So I've written
• 37:05
  Speaker 12: about 30 books, but people only really read those three.
• 37:08
  Speaker 12: So those are the big ones.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so we're talking earlier, Justin, and he blurts out, yeah,
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: I've got, what, five movies and three TV shows.
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: Well, Checkmate was my book about the chess scandal, which
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: I was in here last time, and Nathan Fielder is
• 37:21
  Speaker 12: making it. And so Nathan has got his crazy documentary
• 37:24
  Speaker 12: coming out. In a couple of weeks and his next
• 37:26
  Speaker 12: project is supposed to be Checkmate. So that with Nathan
• 37:29
  Speaker 12: and Emma Stone are making that movie. So that's one
• 37:31
  Speaker 12: of the projects.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: It was such a good book. I gave it to
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Billy to read.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 37:35
  Speaker 12: And I'm doing the Boston Book Festival if anyone's in
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: town next Saturday at 11 a.m. I'll be in conversation
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: with Linda Henry and Ken Rogoff.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Boy, you've come a long way. Look at you sliding
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: right into the plug.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: That was so professional.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: But the public can go to this.
• 37:52
  Speaker 12: That's open to the public.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: It's at 11 o'clock in the morning.

• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: Dropping names.
• 38:00
  Speaker 12: I've got to throw a lot of names in there
• 38:02
  Speaker 12: to get people to come.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: Hey, Ben, stop bragging.
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: I'm in the book business.
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: Nobody reads books anymore.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I got to do what I can.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: No, but they do. Well, they read.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: They do.

  Speaker 5: And my wife's away, so I'm flying solo.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you should check it out.
• 38:31
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that'd be fun.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: So earlier you said how many projects you have in
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: the works now?
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: So I've got the next two books is I wrote
• 38:41
  Speaker 12: a book for a guy named Jeffrey Kent, who is amazing.
• 38:43
  Speaker 12: He created the Luxury Travel Safari. I know, Billy, you'd
• 38:47
  Speaker 12: be interested. He's always trying to get me to go
• 38:49
  Speaker 12: and hang out with the gorillas in Botswana. And I'm like,
• 38:52
  Speaker 12: I'm a fragile person. I went to Disney World. And
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: took pictures on the jungle cruise.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: It's not the same, Ben.
• 38:57
  Speaker 12: And I sent it to him. And I was like,
• 38:58
  Speaker 12: I'm in a safari right now.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: No, it's not the same. It's exactly the same. Trust
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: me when I tell you. I saw a zebra.
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: What do you want?
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: It's the same.
• 39:05
  Speaker 12: And he can't kill me. Or I guess zebras can
• 39:07
  Speaker 12: kill you.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: But anyways.
• 39:09
  Speaker 12: So this book is called The Greatest Adventurer, and that
• 39:11
  Speaker 12: comes out November 10th.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: And it's a.
• 39:13
  Speaker 12: Wild ride into Africa and this guy who created the
• 39:16
  Speaker 12: safari as basically out of nothing. And he's amazing.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: And didn't he hang out with the royals and everything?
• 39:22
  Speaker 12: So his best friend is King Charles.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that all?
• 39:24
  Speaker 12: And he was kind of the fixer when King Charles
• 39:26
  Speaker 12: and Diana weren't working out. And King Charles wanted to
• 39:29
  Speaker 12: meet Camilla Hughes. the guy because they would take him
• 39:32
  Speaker 12: on safari or whatever. So he had this fascinating– He would.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Bring Charles to the rendezvous with Camilla?
• 39:40
  Speaker 12: Hated Charles and also hated Jeff Kent because Jeff was–
• 39:45
  Speaker 12: Charles is confident. So they had met playing polo. He's
• 39:48
  Speaker 12: the greatest polo player in the world. Jeffrey Kent was
• 39:50
  Speaker 12: the Rolex Polo Man of the Year.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: And you're flying around with this guy.
• 39:54
  Speaker 12: I'm not one of these people, right? Me on a horse.
• 39:55
  Speaker 12: I can't even get on a horse.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: You just told me you spent a week with him
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: in London.
• 39:58
  Speaker 12: So I was in London, Monaco. So the book party
• 40:01
  Speaker 12: is Prince Albert of Monaco wrote the foreword to the book.
• 40:03
  Speaker 12: So the party is going to be at Prince Albert's.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: We have to get him on the show when he
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: comes to town.
• 40:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Jeff's got to be on the show. He's coming
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: in November. Stop bragging. No, it's just part of my project.
• 40:14
  Speaker 12: But my next book is called The Last Orbit, and
• 40:17
  Speaker 12: it comes out in May.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: And you spent time at NASA for this one.
• 40:20
  Speaker 12: So I spent about a few months at NASA. See,
• 40:23
  Speaker 12: that's not bragging. Nobody cares about NASA.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, a few months at NASA. So this is about
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: an asteroid.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: For our listeners, can you tell them that the moon
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: landing happened?
• 40:30
  Speaker 12: The moon landing happened. OK, I get a pitch a
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: week about the moon landing. The moon landing happened. OK,
• 40:36
  Speaker 12: there's a mirror on the moon which anybody can shine
• 40:39
  Speaker 12: a laser at and get a reflection back from. So,
• 40:42
  Speaker 12: you know, that mirror was put there. Also, all of
• 40:46
  Speaker 12: the little videos on the Internet have been completely debunked.
• 40:48
  Speaker 12: Like the the moving flag is the famous one, you know,
• 40:51
  Speaker 12: on the moon. Yeah, there's no wind on the moon,
• 40:54
  Speaker 12: but there is kinetic energy on the moon. And if
• 40:56
  Speaker 12: you implant a metal post with a flag on it,
• 40:59
  Speaker 12: into the surface of the moon, that energy goes up
• 41:01
  Speaker 12: the bar and it makes the flag wave.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Do you hear that, Drake May?
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: Exactly. I'm sure you hang out with him.
• 41:10
  Speaker 12: It's one of our greatest accomplishments. Can't we have that?
• 41:14
  Speaker 12: This all goes back to the social reckoning.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: By the way.
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: The reason you don't believe in the moon landing. is
• 41:19
  Speaker 12: because you were online too much and Facebook throws fake
• 41:22
  Speaker 12: news at you. See, I'm bringing it full circle.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: That was a good segue.
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: That's the whole point. It's the fake news that leads
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: to all of this is that you see it on
• 41:31
  Speaker 12: the Internet and you believe it and you want to
• 41:33
  Speaker 12: believe it. We want to believe in conspiracies. Our whole
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: world is built on it. And I write about conspiracies.
• 41:38
  Speaker 12: But anyways, The Last Orbit is about an asteroid has
• 41:42
  Speaker 12: a small chance of hitting its city on Earth and
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: what NASA plans to do about it. And it's actually
• 41:47
  Speaker 12: a real version of the movie Armageddon. And we're making
• 41:50
  Speaker 12: that into a movie with Matt Shackman, who did Fantastic
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: Four with Sony. So that's my next book project after
• 41:57
  Speaker 12: Jeffrey Campbell.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: And you'll do Lisa's book club.
• 41:59
  Speaker 12: Yes, that'll be in May. And I hope to do everything.
• 42:01
  Speaker 12: It's going to be a really fun story. And I
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: love asteroids.
• 42:06
