Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: It's the best of Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Welcome in Saturday morning. Best of Billy and Lisa. It's
- 0:07Speaker 1: producer Riley. I'm going to count down the top five
- 0:09Speaker 1: moments of the week with you. Let's get right into it,
- 0:12Speaker 1: because on Tuesday this week, it was a national cranky
- 0:16Speaker 1: coworker day. We had a debate on the show. Who
- 0:20Speaker 1: is crankier, Billy or Justin? I think we all know
- 0:23Speaker 1: the answer to this.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Did we get results on our poll who's crankier on
- 0:27Speaker 2: this show, you or me?
- 0:29Speaker 3: Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Well, we mentioned this earlier. Yeah,
- 0:31Speaker 3: who was more cranky, Bill or I? Well, Bill was
- 0:33Speaker 3: trying to accuse me of being the cranky one. Not true.
- 0:36Speaker 2: I can see it on your face right now. You
- 0:38Speaker 2: are cranky at this very moment.
- 0:39Speaker 3: This is professionalism.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Okay.
- 0:41Speaker 3: That's what this is. This is not crankiness. I am
- 0:44Speaker 3: being professional. I take my job very serious. Everyone knows it.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Lisa knows it. Producer Riley knows it. The American people
- 0:50Speaker 3: know it. Okay, this is professionalism. You, cranky.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Lisa, who's crankier, me or Justin? I don't know.
- 0:58Speaker 4: Are we talking just today or like on a regular basis?
- 1:01Speaker 5: On average.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Average, yeah.
- 1:02Speaker 4: I think sometimes you go on little rants. I don't
- 1:05Speaker 4: know if that's considered cranky.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Oh, I have, yeah. I have so much audio that
- 1:09Speaker 3: I could play. It's definitely Bill.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Billy's absolutely the cranky one.
- 1:12Speaker 5: If he thinks that mashed potatoes aren't great, I would
- 1:15Speaker 5: die for mashed potatoes.
- 1:18Speaker 3: He didn't help his case earlier.
- 1:19Speaker 4: No.
- 1:20Speaker 3: He went on a mashed potatoes rant. Who doesn't like
- 1:22Speaker 3: mashed potatoes?
- 1:23Speaker 1: And he's like anti-turkey.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Anti-turkey.
- 1:26Speaker 2: There's no point to it. There's no taste.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:29Speaker 2: But like stuffing. That's the weird thing about that. Oh,
- 1:32Speaker 2: a really good stuffing with sausage in it?
- 1:34Speaker 6: Ooh.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Oh, that is good.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Man, only a cranky person would get upset at holidays.
- 1:39Speaker 7: I know.
- 1:39Speaker 2: I don't understand that.
- 1:41Speaker 1: He hates candy.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Doesn't like candy.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Hates Halloween.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Hates dressing up.
- 1:44Speaker 3: And Valentine's Day. So both are candy-based.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Okay, I'm the crankier one.
- 1:48Speaker 1: You don't even like the Easter Bunny.
- 1:50Speaker 8: Nope.
- 1:51Speaker 2: This is hopping around.
- 1:52Speaker 3: See what I mean?
- 1:53Speaker 2: What's the point of that?
- 1:54Speaker 3: It's cranky.
- 1:55Speaker 4: This show has me rolling on the floor this morning.
- 2:00Speaker 5: Billy, you are the angry one.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Justin, you're angry, but.
- 2:06Speaker 2: You make it funny.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Oh, well, thank you. I wouldn't say Billy's angry. He's
- 2:09Speaker 3: just a little bit cranky. Gets very moody.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I just make observations.
- 2:14Speaker 3: You do. You know? But you do tend to rant.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Good morning, morning crew. I've been a long-time listener, and
- 2:18Speaker 5: I still laugh when.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I hear the, now I'm parked on your face.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Is that even cranky?
- 2:24Speaker 5: I don't know what it is.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 2:25Speaker 4: I'm so cranky.
- 2:26Speaker 9: Right.
- 2:26Speaker 3: When you're saying this.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm parked on your face.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Okay?
- 2:32Speaker 2: How are we doing now?
- 2:33Speaker 3: Cranky.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I just picture his face under my tire. Yeah.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Like, yeah, that's cranky. Yeah, but you know what it
- 2:38Speaker 3: sounds like to everybody. Okay, now I'm.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Parked on your face.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Okay?
- 2:43Speaker 3: How are we doing now?
- 2:46Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm the crankier one of the two of us.
- 2:49Speaker 5: Okay.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Oh, no, let's keep going on this. Allie says don't
- 2:51Speaker 3: forget about the guacamole.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.
- 2:54Speaker 9: Oh, geez.
- 2:54Speaker 3: All right, hates guacamole, too.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Well, the guac became an unnecessary movement. Like, all of
- 3:01Speaker 2: a sudden, oh, I'll have the guac. Like, oh, I
- 3:04Speaker 2: love their guac. It's the best. No, it's never been
- 3:07Speaker 2: the best. It's guac.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Some are better than others.
- 3:10Speaker 5: Right?
- 3:11Speaker 3: Some are better.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Yep.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And then the red wine.
- 3:13Speaker 2: You hate red wine.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Oh, the red wine.
- 3:14Speaker 2: All right.
- 3:15Speaker 3: It's the red wine. Yeah. It's Bill. Bill's the cranky one. Sorry, Bill,
- 3:19Speaker 3: but I'm going to have to go with you being
- 3:20Speaker 3: the cranky one because we've all heard the kingdom microphone.
- 3:25Speaker 5: Right.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:26Speaker 3: We've heard them. We have a million.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Okay.
- 3:28Speaker 3: He gets caught.
- 3:29Speaker 2: You win.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Off mic.
- 3:35Speaker 2: The candid microphone. No one ever knows when he talks.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Don't be angry at the talkback. All right. Those are
- 3:41Speaker 3: my family. Those are our family.
- 3:43Speaker 2: King into the candid microphone. I wish I could answer
- 3:46Speaker 2: talkbacks with my own talkback. Hey, I'll tell you what.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Why don't you go penetrate yourself with a hot rod?
- 3:55Speaker 2: Why don't you complete that mission? Be the only excitement
- 3:58Speaker 2: you've ever had in your life. That was unnecessary, and
- 4:02Speaker 2: it was edited. I would never have said those words.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I'm still not editing.
- 4:07Speaker 2: See, that's the thing. You make me appear cranky with
- 4:10Speaker 2: your magic fingers in there.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Oh, thank you.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Magic, huh?
- 4:13Speaker 5: All right.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Bill's the cranky one. You got a cranky coworker? Are
- 4:17Speaker 3: you the cranky coworker? You can give us a call
- 4:22Speaker 3: at 877-617-1108 or, or, or you can leave us a
- 4:25Speaker 3: talk back. But we promise Bill will not attack.
- 4:32Speaker 5: What?
- 4:33Speaker 10: What did you say?
- 4:34Speaker 2: He fell off his chair, folks.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Okay. Like the stuff that comes out of his mouth.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 4:39Speaker 2: 877-617-1108. We'll leave us a talk back.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Also, it's Harry Ween. So there's a lot going on
- 4:59Speaker 3: right now.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Here is the number four moment on Tuesday was National
- 5:03Speaker 1: Cranky Coworkers Day. Who knew that was even a national day?
- 5:06Speaker 1: But it is. And everybody has one of those coworkers that, oh,
- 5:10Speaker 1: they're just the crankiest.
- 5:12Speaker 2: We're having some fun with this one.
- 5:13Speaker 4: We are.
- 5:14Speaker 3: A little bit. I think we need to apologize for
- 5:16Speaker 3: the craziness of this show, and it's not even Friday.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Guys, what is going on in the studio right now?
- 5:21Speaker 2: It's not even the big Friday show.
- 5:23Speaker 5: It's only freaking Tuesday. I don't know what Bill put
- 5:27Speaker 5: in his Cheerios.
- 5:28Speaker 2: This morning, but something's going on.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Must be the pretzels. Yeah.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Ooh, it could be the Dots pretzels. Yeah.
- 5:37Speaker 3: They're so good.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Addicting.
- 5:41Speaker 3: So good. Yeah, people are going crazy about this cranky
- 5:43Speaker 3: co-workers thing. I think we're all cranky sometimes.
- 5:46Speaker 5: Definitely.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Bill definitely has more of those moments, I feel like.
- 5:49Speaker 3: He likes to just go on and on.
- 5:51Speaker 4: Oh, can you replay Billy's rant on the candy and
- 5:56Speaker 4: also the one where he.
- 5:57Speaker 5: Went off about Mikey V in his stupid glasses and
- 6:00Speaker 5: hat or something?
- 6:01Speaker 3: Oh, wow, that's an old school listener.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't like the candy.
- 6:04Speaker 2: With the candy. Here, put on another 20 pounds. Who cares?
- 6:09Speaker 2: We're getting married.
- 6:12Speaker 3: I've got to say, Halloween's not for Billy. No, he
- 6:14Speaker 3: hates Halloween. No, not at all. And then poor Mikey V, right,
- 6:17Speaker 3: gets hired. They fly him across the country here.
- 6:19Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 6:20Speaker 3: This is back in the white glasses days.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I really didn't know him then.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Yeah, he was new.
- 6:24Speaker 1: But they didn't have lenses in them.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Well, he was stealing Bill's headphones, he thought.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Every single night.
- 6:29Speaker 3: All the time, so.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Like, we need to bow down to Mikey V and
- 6:32Speaker 2: his stupid glasses.
- 6:33Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I never understood that era of Mikey Z.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I don't think he does either.
- 6:40Speaker 2: He's more like a Cuban hat.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Well, we talked to.
- 6:42Speaker 4: Him about it recently, and he was saying the same thing.
- 6:45Speaker 3: He's kind of ashamed of it.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he's so funny.
- 6:48Speaker 2: It was like a Cuban hat with big white glasses
- 6:52Speaker 2: with no glass in them. Well, that was very LMFAO.
- 6:56Speaker 1: That was like the style back then.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Early 2010s.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Yeah. Talking about cranky.
- 7:01Speaker 5: I had a cranky driver behind me. Orange Nissan.
- 7:06Speaker 11: I'm looking at you.
- 7:08Speaker 12: There's traffic.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Where do you want me to go?
- 7:11Speaker 3: Right. Where do you want me to go? I'm looking
- 7:12Speaker 3: at you.
- 7:15Speaker 4: See you.
- 7:17Speaker 3: There's nothing worse than being cranky while you're driving.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Oh, that's so true.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Especially in rush hour.
- 7:21Speaker 13: I don't have a cranky coworker. I mean, I probably
- 7:24Speaker 13: have a few if I really thought about it, but
- 7:27Speaker 13: my husband's.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Got to be the crankiest person.
- 7:29Speaker 3: What the hell is going on in the background? No, really.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Let me hear that again.
- 7:32Speaker 13: I don't have a cranky coworker. I mean, I probably
- 7:35Speaker 13: have a few if I really thought about it, but
- 7:38Speaker 13: my husband's got to be the crankiest person I know.
- 7:40Speaker 13: So kudos to whoever works with him.
- 7:43Speaker 3: What is that?
- 7:44Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Is the kids watching something?
- 7:46Speaker 2: Strange sounds.
- 7:47Speaker 1: That's like a drill.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Bill, say something to the kids.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Goo-goo. There you go.
- 7:53Speaker 5: Good morning, morning crew.
- 7:54Speaker 1: This is Erin from Bill Ricka.
- 7:57Speaker 5: And I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty sure that
- 7:59Speaker 5: I am.
- 7:59Speaker 6: The cranky co-worker. I'm sorry, but we deal with so
- 8:03Speaker 6: many stupid young kids. I'm 42 years old. It's painful
- 8:10Speaker 6: sometimes to listen to them.
- 8:13Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Listen, man, people get cranky. It is what it is.
- 8:20Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:21Speaker 2: By the way, you want to know what's sitting right
- 8:23Speaker 2: in front of me right now? Within inches of my face.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Are those pretzels?
- 8:27Speaker 2: Three singular dot cinnamon flavored pretzels.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Why do you have them lined up?
- 8:32Speaker 2: All I can think about is eating pretzels.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Well, Dots Pretzels, you know, that's our partner for Jingle
- 8:40Speaker 3: Ball Jackpot. So they sent two giant bags in.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Well, you also, if you win, you get a year's
- 8:45Speaker 1: supply of Dots. You don't?
- 8:47Speaker 5: What?
- 8:47Speaker 2: They told us that.
- 8:48Speaker 1: We did that in the video.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I would be in big trouble if I got a
- 8:52Speaker 2: year's supply.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Okay.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Because I can't stop eating the one bag I was given.
- 8:56Speaker 3: You know what? That's not happening. You know what, Bill?
- 8:59Speaker 3: Bill will buy a year's supply of pretzels.
- 9:01Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 9:01Speaker 3: For the winner.
- 9:02Speaker 2: How about that, Lee?
- 9:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I don't know about cranky, but.
- 9:06Speaker 5: Mean, abusive, rude.
- 9:09Speaker 1: That's probably my boss.
- 9:12Speaker 9: She sends us staff.
- 9:14Speaker 5: Group messages that are clearly about one person.
- 9:19Speaker 9: Did it just yesterday again.
- 9:21Speaker 5: Screamed and yelled at another co-worker.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Safe to say we're all trying to leave.
- 9:26Speaker 5: And she'll be really screwed.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Everybody's leaving.
- 9:30Speaker 5: Mutiny.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Crazy mutiny over there. Yeah. Cranky or grumpy?
- 9:35Speaker 14: If it makes you feel any better about being the
- 9:37Speaker 14: cranky one.
- 9:38Speaker 1: You can't be as cranky as my dad.
- 9:40Speaker 5: He's so cranky that his grandpa name is Grumpy.
- 9:43Speaker 3: That's cute. I love that. It's not Grampy. It's Grumpy.
- 9:49Speaker 3: We have Kelly in Nashua on line one. Kelly, we
- 9:52Speaker 3: want to hear your story, but I would just leave
- 9:54Speaker 3: the business name out, please, if that's possible.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah.
- 9:57Speaker 5: Go ahead. Can I just.
- 10:00Speaker 14: say grocery store?
- 10:01Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 10:03Speaker 5: Okay.
- 10:04Speaker 14: So I used to work at a grocery store, and
- 10:07Speaker 14: my boss at the time, he wouldn't feel complete every
- 10:09Speaker 14: day until somebody cried. And at the grocery store, it
- 10:13Speaker 14: was mostly like teenagers who So he just didn't feel
- 10:17Speaker 14: like his day was complete until somebody cried. It was ridiculous.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I know.
- 10:21Speaker 3: And here we are complaining about Billy. Billy doesn't make
- 10:23Speaker 3: anybody cry.
- 10:24Speaker 2: No, we used to know someone like that.
- 10:26Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 10:27Speaker 3: No, you don't want to make people cry. What are
- 10:29Speaker 3: you doing?
- 10:29Speaker 2: No. No.
- 10:31Speaker 3: You know, Billy's more just fun.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Yes.
- 10:33Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 10:34Speaker 9: Hey, Sue from Boston.
- 10:37Speaker 10: I think Billy is flipping hilarious. I don't think he's cranky.
- 10:41Speaker 10: I think he's spirited. And I think he gets excited
- 10:46Speaker 10: giving his opinion. I was saying, you know, pock on
- 10:49Speaker 10: your face. I do the same thing. I don't find
- 10:52Speaker 10: anything wrong with it. I've been a nurse for years,
- 10:55Speaker 10: and sometimes things just come out of your mouth. And
- 11:01Speaker 10: you don't mean it in a bad way.
- 11:02Speaker 9: It just happens.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Nice to hear from your cousin there.
- 11:07Speaker 2: No, I think there's a level of craziness up there.
- 11:09Speaker 3: There definitely is a level of craziness. There definitely is.
- 11:12Speaker 2: There's lots of craziness. Thanks a lot.
- 11:15Speaker 3: Yeah, that's okay. I mean, the good thing is you
- 11:18Speaker 3: don't have a microphone to talk into. Well, you do
- 11:21Speaker 3: have a microphone to talk into. Hello. Well, we have
- 11:23Speaker 3: it every single day.
- 11:23Speaker 10: Happy Tuesday.
- 11:24Speaker 2: This is Kim.
- 11:25Speaker 12: Cranky coworkers.
- 11:27Speaker 2: We had one years ago.
- 11:28Speaker 12: She no longer works here. She was late every day.
- 11:31Speaker 12: And in health care, you've got to be on time.
- 11:33Speaker 12: She was late every day. She would walk through that door.
- 11:35Speaker 12: She would glare at all of us. She would huff
- 11:37Speaker 12: and puff. She would slam stuff down. No one said
- 11:40Speaker 12: anything to her.
- 11:40Speaker 2: We were all afraid.
- 11:41Speaker 12: In hindsight, it was brilliant. She was the original George Costanza.
- 11:46Speaker 12: George Costanza always acted annoyed at work, so people thought
- 11:51Speaker 12: he was busy. Yeah, brilliant.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Wow.
- 11:54Speaker 2: A little Seinfeld reference there.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Love that show.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Oh, God, it still stands the test of time.
- 12:00Speaker 3: All right, we'll keep the talkbacks coming. We have a
- 12:04Speaker 3: wrap-up at 940. We can play more for you. We
- 12:07Speaker 3: appreciate you listening to this show, even though sometimes we're cranky.
- 12:11Speaker 3: We apologize.
- 12:12Speaker 1: The number three moment here. Mel Robbins checked in with
- 12:15Speaker 1: us on the show this week because she's on the
- 12:17Speaker 1: cover of People magazine.
- 12:18Speaker 5: Hi, guys. How are you?
- 12:20Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Yeah, it happened. I was scrolling
- 12:23Speaker 1: on my Instagram.
- 12:23Speaker 2: I follow you.
- 12:25Speaker 4: It popped in Mel Robbins on the cover of People
- 12:28Speaker 4: magazine with the headline. One decision changed my life. And
- 12:32Speaker 4: I had to text your assistant Lynn and say, is
- 12:34Speaker 4: there any way Mel can join us?
- 12:36Speaker 2: And you said yes.
- 12:38Speaker 5: Here I am. I was excited to talk to you guys.
- 12:41Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a couple of years since the Lisa's
- 12:44Speaker 4: Book Club appearance. And boy, you've had such a journey.
- 12:47Speaker 4: I think you've been to five countries, 27 cities on
- 12:52Speaker 4: the Let Them Theory tour. Did you ever expect that
- 12:54Speaker 4: those two words would have such a positive impact on
- 12:57Speaker 4: so many people all over the world?
- 13:01Speaker 5: I knew that the theory and both let them and
- 13:05Speaker 5: the second part saying let me worked and it's powerful
- 13:09Speaker 5: because it changed my life and my relationships with my
- 13:12Speaker 5: family in particular. I mean, you would have to be
- 13:15Speaker 5: a sociopath to stand in the beginning of something and say, oh,
- 13:20Speaker 5: this is going to be really global. It blows me
- 13:23Speaker 5: away every single day that this book is now in
- 13:27Speaker 5: 67 languages and the tour sold out globally. But I
- 13:30Speaker 5: think the bigger thing is just how it's giving people
- 13:33Speaker 5: control and peace and power back in their lives. Because
- 13:37Speaker 5: when you say let them, you remind yourself that it's
- 13:40Speaker 5: stupid to waste any time and energy trying to control
- 13:43Speaker 5: the uncontrollables. So it's pretty incredible.
- 13:46Speaker 4: Well, I actually let them. I used it with Billy
- 13:49Speaker 4: this morning. He was having an issue. We were talking
- 13:51Speaker 4: off the air. And I said, Billy, just let him,
- 13:54Speaker 4: let her. And instantly he became unstuck. You could see
- 13:57Speaker 4: it on his face.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Yeah, Mel, instantly I was relieved. Everything was fine.
- 14:03Speaker 5: Well, that's because, you know, other people are idiots and
- 14:07Speaker 5: they're going to drive you crazy. And they, you know,
- 14:09Speaker 5: you want everybody to change and be exactly how we
- 14:13Speaker 5: want them to be. But that's not how life works.
- 14:15Speaker 5: And so when you just... And recognize that other people
- 14:19Speaker 5: are who they are. Allow them to have their moods
- 14:22Speaker 5: and their opinions and their feelings and just focus on
- 14:25Speaker 5: your response to it. Life gets a lot easier. I
- 14:27Speaker 5: can't believe how much energy and time I wasted on
- 14:31Speaker 5: stupid things, honestly. Traffic, people's moods, being worried about making
- 14:37Speaker 5: everybody happy. It's just so much easier to give people space.
- 14:40Speaker 5: Let them be who they are and who they're not.
- 14:43Speaker 5: And then just focus on what's worth your time to
- 14:45Speaker 5: respond to and what's not.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Well, you talk about in this People Magazine interview, the
- 14:50Speaker 4: one decision that changed your life.
- 14:52Speaker 3: What was that?
- 14:54Speaker 5: It sounds so stupid, you guys. I mean, honestly, 16
- 14:58Speaker 5: years ago, my husband and I were 800 grand in
- 15:00Speaker 5: debt and I. You know, when you get into a
- 15:03Speaker 5: moment in your life, you guys, where your life starts
- 15:06Speaker 5: falling apart, it's interesting. You can know what to do,
- 15:09Speaker 5: but it feels impossible to do it. You know you
- 15:12Speaker 5: need to look for a job. You know you need
- 15:13Speaker 5: to ask for help. You know you need to lay
- 15:15Speaker 5: off the booze. You know you need to stop screaming
- 15:17Speaker 5: at everybody. And yet, you don't do any of it.
- 15:20Speaker 5: And so the decision that changed my life, honest to goodness,
- 15:23Speaker 5: was just deciding that to stop blaming all my problems
- 15:29Speaker 5: on my husband and the world around me and recognize
- 15:32Speaker 5: that there's only one person that can fix this, and
- 15:35Speaker 5: it's me. And instead of wishing somebody would show up
- 15:38Speaker 5: and save me, I needed to start acting like the
- 15:41Speaker 5: person that I wished would come. And that person's obvious.
- 15:45Speaker 5: If you stop and think about your own life and
- 15:47Speaker 5: the areas of your life where you're not happy, you
- 15:50Speaker 5: probably know exactly what you could or should be doing. Well,
- 15:53Speaker 5: that was me. I spent a lot of time thinking
- 15:55Speaker 5: about it, but thinking about it doesn't get it done.
- 15:57Speaker 5: And so one morning, it was a Tuesday in February 2008,
- 16:01Speaker 5: right outside of Boston in Sherbourne, Massachusetts. And I just
- 16:05Speaker 5: decided instead of laying in bed and being upset about
- 16:08Speaker 5: my life and staring at the ceiling, I need to
- 16:11Speaker 5: get up. I need to look for a job. And
- 16:13Speaker 5: I just started acting like the person I wanted to
- 16:17Speaker 5: be instead of acting like the person I felt like,
- 16:20Speaker 5: which was a giant loser.
- 16:22Speaker 4: I think, honestly, that's like the simplest advice.
- 16:27Speaker 1: But you're right.
- 16:27Speaker 4: You have to just visualize who you want to be
- 16:31Speaker 4: and then just start living it and start doing it.
- 16:34Speaker 5: Wonderful. It's true. Like, I don't know if I'm the
- 16:36Speaker 5: dumbest person on the planet. And it took me, you know,
- 16:38Speaker 5: into my 40s and 50s to understand that life is
- 16:42Speaker 5: honestly kind of simple. The first one is you're never
- 16:45Speaker 5: going to feel like doing the things you need to
- 16:47Speaker 5: do that make your life better. And the good news
- 16:50Speaker 5: is you can force yourself to just act like the
- 16:53Speaker 5: person you want to be. And through the actions, not
- 16:56Speaker 5: the feelings, through the actions, you become that person. And
- 16:59Speaker 5: the second thing I learned is trying to change everybody
- 17:02Speaker 5: around me just makes me miserable. And trying to control
- 17:05Speaker 5: everything makes me stressed out. And there's an easier way
- 17:09Speaker 5: to go through life. It's stoicism. It's basically let other
- 17:13Speaker 5: people be who they are and focus on yourself. Focus
- 17:16Speaker 5: on showing up in a way that makes you proud
- 17:18Speaker 5: of yourself. And oftentimes, what's going to make you proud
- 17:21Speaker 5: of yourself is not waiting to feel like doing the
- 17:25Speaker 5: things you need to do. The things that make you
- 17:27Speaker 5: proud of yourself are doing the hard things in life.
- 17:29Speaker 5: And then after you get the hard things done, life
- 17:32Speaker 5: gets easier.
- 17:34Speaker 4: So we're a big fan of your podcast. And recently
- 17:37Speaker 4: you had a special visitor, Oprah Winfrey.
- 17:40Speaker 1: You also had Benny Blanco, by the way, which we
- 17:42Speaker 1: thought was really cool.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Can you walk us through how that made you feel
- 17:46Speaker 4: when she showed up in your space?
- 17:49Speaker 5: Well, I needed a diaper. I mean, I could not
- 17:51Speaker 5: believe it. Because she was the single biggest inspiration to me.
- 17:59Speaker 5: I couldn't believe she came to Boston. I mean, I
- 18:03Speaker 5: thought that if I ever got a chance to interview her,
- 18:05Speaker 5: I would go to where she lives. And so the
- 18:08Speaker 5: fact that she made the trip to Boston was the
- 18:12Speaker 5: biggest deal to me. And the other piece of it was,
- 18:16Speaker 5: you know, she said on the show, That she saw
- 18:20Speaker 5: herself in me and she saw that I had taken
- 18:23Speaker 5: everything that she was trying to teach in 25 years
- 18:26Speaker 5: on television. And I'm paying it forward in my own way.
- 18:29Speaker 5: And to have somebody whose work you admire, admire you
- 18:34Speaker 5: back on your own show. I mean, she even said
- 18:37Speaker 5: you have become the voice of this generation, helping people grow.
- 18:41Speaker 5: lead themselves back home to themselves, to hear those words
- 18:45Speaker 5: come out of her mouth. It was kind of one
- 18:46Speaker 5: of those moments where I was listening and I was
- 18:49Speaker 5: also saying to myself, shut up now, don't say anything,
- 18:51Speaker 5: don't say anything.
- 18:52Speaker 2: I think you actually cried at that moment.
- 18:55Speaker 1: I did.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:57Speaker 5: I really did because she didn't need to say it.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Oprah cried too.
- 19:01Speaker 5: It was such a generous thing. Yeah, she did. It
- 19:04Speaker 5: was a very... It was a very, very moving experience. And,
- 19:10Speaker 5: you know, our show is really about impact. It's not
- 19:13Speaker 5: about virality. And so I'm not really looking for a
- 19:16Speaker 5: press moment. I'm trying to figure out whoever is sitting
- 19:19Speaker 5: in the chair, whether it's a world-renowned researcher or it's
- 19:23Speaker 5: Oprah Winfrey or it's Benny Blanco or it's one of
- 19:25Speaker 5: you guys. I just think to myself, how can I
- 19:28Speaker 5: structure a conversation with you? to make the biggest impact
- 19:33Speaker 5: in the life of the person listening. Not so that
- 19:36Speaker 5: they're eavesdropping on a conversation, but that we co-create it
- 19:40Speaker 5: knowing that somebody's listening to this podcast as a way
- 19:44Speaker 5: to feel better and do better in their life. And
- 19:47Speaker 5: so I think she really felt... very safe to open
- 19:52Speaker 5: up and very aligned with the intention, which was impact.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Well, welcome back into the best of Billy and Lisa
- 19:58Speaker 1: in the morning. It's producer Riley County down the top
- 20:00Speaker 1: five moments of the week with you. Saturday morning, Halloween morning.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Happy Halloween, by the way. Can't wait to eat all
- 20:07Speaker 1: the candies and nights. And because we were leading up
- 20:10Speaker 1: to Halloween this week, we had a DM from somebody
- 20:13Speaker 1: who really put us to the test.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Lisa, you've got a DM.
- 20:16Speaker 1: It's from our listener, Sarah.
- 20:18Speaker 4: She says, my boyfriend is a Halloween fanatic and every
- 20:21Speaker 4: year he goes all out. But this year he booked
- 20:25Speaker 4: an overnight stay. at an Airbnb that is allegedly haunted
- 20:29Speaker 4: for the weekend. I agreed to go several months when
- 20:32Speaker 4: we booked it, but now that it's coming up, I
- 20:34Speaker 4: don't want to go.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Should I do this? Should we stay in a haunted house?
- 20:39Speaker 3: That's the question.
- 20:40Speaker 2: And question, because the Airbnb is posting it as a
- 20:44Speaker 2: haunted house, is it really a haunted house, or are
- 20:46Speaker 2: they just saying it's a haunted house?
- 20:48Speaker 3: No, it's probably a, yeah, it's probably, there's been, you know,
- 20:52Speaker 3: sightings there.
- 20:53Speaker 5: Right.
- 20:53Speaker 3: So you have a good chance of being haunted. There's
- 20:56Speaker 3: a bunch of those. The Lizzie Borden house.
- 20:58Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 20:59Speaker 3: There's one in Gardner. There's a bunch of them.
- 21:01Speaker 2: I think there's one in Lexington. We may have done
- 21:03Speaker 2: a TV piece on once. I've never slept in.
- 21:05Speaker 3: A haunted house. Well, as far as Sarah goes, I
- 21:07Speaker 3: think that it's too little too late. She should have
- 21:09Speaker 3: said something months ago, not the week of Halloween. And
- 21:12Speaker 3: her boyfriend sounds like a Halloween freak.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Suck it up, cuddle up to him.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Yeah, she was kicking the can down the road. She
- 21:18Speaker 1: should have said something months ago.
- 21:20Speaker 3: The week of, you're sending a question into the Billy
- 21:23Speaker 3: and Lisa show. We welcome that.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Yes, thank you for it.
- 21:26Speaker 3: But I think she's got to do it.
- 21:28Speaker 1: I think she does, too.
- 21:29Speaker 4: I mean, you know, that's when you just cuddle up,
- 21:32Speaker 4: you know, right?
- 21:33Speaker 2: Do you believe, Lisa, in haunting?
- 21:35Speaker 1: I believe in ghosts.
- 21:36Speaker 4: I believe that there are places that could have ghosts lurking.
- 21:40Speaker 4: I personally think that most ghosts are friendly, like you
- 21:43Speaker 4: said earlier in the show.
- 21:44Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 21:44Speaker 4: I think these spirits are stuck somewhere. I don't think
- 21:48Speaker 4: that they're bad.
- 21:49Speaker 2: My impression, having met several ghosts for real, my impression
- 21:55Speaker 2: is a lot of them are happier now than they
- 21:57Speaker 2: were when they were on Earth or wherever they were.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Yeah, and some reason why they're stuck. They're still here.
- 22:02Speaker 3: So were you scared when you saw the ghosts in
- 22:04Speaker 3: your house, Billy?
- 22:05Speaker 2: No, I really was happy. I felt bad because I
- 22:08Speaker 2: know Michelle's the one that dies to see ghosts, and
- 22:11Speaker 2: all of a sudden I was seeing them. I saw
- 22:13Speaker 2: them in my hotel room at Encore Boston Harbor, standing
- 22:16Speaker 2: right by the sliding door.
- 22:17Speaker 4: But I have to say, when you came in, you
- 22:19Speaker 4: sounded like they made you feel special.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Again, they just seemed very happy and peaceful. But the
- 22:29Speaker 2: other thing about it is they were all people from
- 22:33Speaker 2: decades gone by, you know, like even before me, like
- 22:37Speaker 2: they were like, I had saw the ghost once in
- 22:40Speaker 2: my house and we live in an old school house
- 22:45Speaker 2: and she was dressed much like a teacher and she
- 22:49Speaker 2: had a young student with her, which begs the question,
- 22:53Speaker 2: could that student have met with tragedy or something? And,
- 22:58Speaker 2: And she's now with the child wherever ghosts are.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Well, the question is posted on the Kiss 108 Facebook page.
- 23:05Speaker 3: You can go there and comment, follow to Kiss 108
- 23:07Speaker 3: on Facebook. Jennifer says that she would go on the
- 23:11Speaker 3: spooky getaway. But if something like gruesome or bad recently happened,
- 23:16Speaker 3: she might think twice about it.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Like in real life, they're like a recent story.
- 23:19Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Yes.
- 23:21Speaker 3: I mean, I think she should go, Billy. What do
- 23:23Speaker 3: you what do you have to answer this girl's question?
- 23:25Speaker 1: But you're right, though, this this talk backers.
- 23:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 23:27Speaker 1: About bad energy.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Something recent that that would be maybe one reason to
- 23:31Speaker 4: be a little bit more like apprehensive.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Well, I think she should definitely go.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Yeah, it's too late, I think.
- 23:37Speaker 2: I mean, nothing's going to happen. I mean, you might
- 23:40Speaker 2: get weirded out or something at some point. I don't know.
- 23:42Speaker 2: You don't hear stories about, well, we slept in a
- 23:44Speaker 2: haunted house and we're all killed.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Well, I think that.
- 23:49Speaker 2: You know, it's always somebody telling a funny story, something
- 23:51Speaker 2: weird that happened while they were in the haunted house.
- 23:54Speaker 3: I've heard bad ghost stories.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Really?
- 23:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:56Speaker 2: See, I've only met friendly ones.
- 23:58Speaker 3: But I see them like, get out.
- 24:00Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 24:01Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Oh, a lot of banging. I've heard stories of banging
- 24:04Speaker 2: on the walls and stuff.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Riley, a lot of ghosts, I feel like feed off
- 24:07Speaker 1: your energy, too. So like if you because I believe
- 24:09Speaker 1: in ghosts. So if you go to some place and
- 24:12Speaker 1: you're like a believer, that's usually when they want to
- 24:15Speaker 1: interact with you. If you're not a believer, sometimes they
- 24:17Speaker 1: like there'll be nothing that happens. And if it's a Airbnb,
- 24:21Speaker 1: that's kind of like the Lizzie Borden house, like. that
- 24:24Speaker 1: has certain rooms that are more haunted than others. So
- 24:27Speaker 1: you could be staying in a room that, like, yes, like,
- 24:30Speaker 1: the house is haunted, but not necessarily, like, the room.
- 24:34Speaker 1: So she could luck out. You never know. But I've
- 24:37Speaker 1: been to the Conjuring house, which is, like, very, very haunted.
- 24:40Speaker 2: And nothing happened. Did you stay there? No.
- 24:44Speaker 1: So me and my friend Hannah went just for, like,
- 24:46Speaker 1: a day trip, and they had, like, EMF readers. They had, like,
- 24:49Speaker 1: all the ghost hunting equipment.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, no.
- 24:52Speaker 1: But that house is scary. I would never stay there overnight.
- 24:58Speaker 5: No, no, no.
- 24:59Speaker 3: It could be the Lizzie Borden house that Sarah's talking about.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe.
- 25:02Speaker 2: It could be.
- 25:02Speaker 5: Morning, morning, crew.
- 25:04Speaker 9: I actually did stay at a haunted house. My friend
- 25:07Speaker 9: and I, we stayed in the Lizzie Borden house.
- 25:10Speaker 5: She stayed in Lizzie's room.
- 25:11Speaker 9: And I stayed in the sister's room. It's not like
- 25:14Speaker 9: a baby, but we did do like a ghost watch thing.
- 25:17Speaker 9: That night, people came to the house and we had
- 25:21Speaker 9: a spit of boxes and had a whole conversation with
- 25:23Speaker 9: a ghost in the bathroom.
- 25:24Speaker 5: It was kind of weird, but it was a lot
- 25:26Speaker 5: of fun.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Isn't there a Lizzie Borden documentary out right now?
- 25:30Speaker 3: There's a show right now.
- 25:31Speaker 2: It's a monster.
- 25:31Speaker 3: It's on Netflix. Yeah. Yeah. She actually had a conversation
- 25:36Speaker 3: with the ghost.
- 25:37Speaker 1: That's cool. See, like that's when you go into it
- 25:40Speaker 1: with like an open mind and they will like converse
- 25:43Speaker 1: with you. But if this if Sarah is like a nonbeliever,
- 25:46Speaker 1: I feel like she might be fine.
- 25:47Speaker 3: I want to believe I'm not a nonbeliever. I've just
- 25:51Speaker 3: never had an experience with a ghost, a paranormal experience.
- 25:56Speaker 2: When you see ghosts, you will become a believer.
- 25:59Speaker 3: I'm sure I will.
- 26:00Speaker 2: I had two occasions and I totally believe now, but
- 26:02Speaker 2: they were all very nice.
- 26:03Speaker 4: I wonder why some ghosts, you know, pick certain people
- 26:07Speaker 4: to show themselves.
- 26:08Speaker 3: There must be something about people. There's something that I
- 26:10Speaker 3: don't have. I'm lacking in something.
- 26:13Speaker 2: It's about the energy. I think they want to know
- 26:15Speaker 2: that you'd like to see them.
- 26:17Speaker 3: I'd like to see.
- 26:17Speaker 2: You're welcoming.
- 26:18Speaker 3: Okay, hold on. I'm going to go on record right now.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Say it nice and loud.
- 26:22Speaker 3: I would, I, Justin, would like to see a ghost.
- 26:27Speaker 5: Boo!
- 26:27Speaker 9: Thank you.
- 26:28Speaker 4: There you go.
- 26:28Speaker 5: That's a start. So I think this other Sarah needs
- 26:31Speaker 5: to get it together. She had plenty of time to
- 26:34Speaker 5: tell her boyfriend she was scared.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Or whatever her problem was.
- 26:38Speaker 14: I mean, I stayed at the Lucy Porter house.
- 26:41Speaker 5: I got touched and everything. I'm only partially possessed.
- 26:44Speaker 14: I mean, it's not that bad.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Oh, she stayed at the Lizzie Borden house too.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Wow.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 26:51Speaker 2: I don't know. And nothing's ever happened.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Well, the first one had a conversation with the ghost.
- 26:56Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:56Speaker 1: She said that she got touched at the Lizzie Borden house.
- 26:58Speaker 3: She got touched.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Lizzie Borden is very haunted. The Lizzie Borden house.
- 27:03Speaker 3: Okay.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Terrifying ordeal. See, I get when it's advertised as haunted,
- 27:09Speaker 2: I don't tend to believe it. It just happens. If
- 27:13Speaker 2: it's going to happen, it's going to happen. It doesn't
- 27:15Speaker 2: matter where you are.
- 27:16Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:16Speaker 3: When I was younger, we tried to break into the
- 27:19Speaker 3: Danvers State Hospital. Oh, yeah. Because we had watched that movie,
- 27:23Speaker 3: Session 9, which is about the hospital. And we didn't
- 27:27Speaker 3: get in, obviously, but that's like the closest I came.
- 27:29Speaker 3: It was just creepy. We didn't see anything. But definitely
- 27:33Speaker 3: these places have that energy.
- 27:35Speaker 2: They do. I think it's when you least expect it.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Like one time I stayed at a hotel in Scotland,
- 27:41Speaker 2: in Edinburgh, and when I opened the window to my room,
- 27:44Speaker 2: It was adjacent to the wall of the castle. And
- 27:47Speaker 2: I was thinking, if I'm ever going to see a ghost,
- 27:49Speaker 2: this is the place. I left the window open all night.
- 27:52Speaker 2: You've got to believe they must be living in the
- 27:54Speaker 2: old castle, right?
- 27:55Speaker 3: Nothing. Nothing happened. 877-617-1108 is our phone number, right? You
- 28:01Speaker 3: can leave a talk back on the iHeartRadio app, or
- 28:03Speaker 3: you can leave a comment on the Kiss 108 Facebook page.
- 28:07Speaker 3: What do we think? What should Sarah do? Should she
- 28:08Speaker 3: stay in the house this weekend with her boyfriend?
- 28:10Speaker 5: Also.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Have you stayed in a haunted house? Would you stay
- 28:13Speaker 3: in a haunted house? We'll take all that. Many ways
- 28:15Speaker 3: to communicate with the Billy and Lisa show.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Happy Monday. This is Kim.
- 28:19Speaker 12: I have some advice for that listener that called in
- 28:22Speaker 12: that doesn't want to go with the haunted house. I mean,
- 28:24Speaker 12: I live in a haunted house every day. I've got cobwebs, dust.
- 28:28Speaker 12: The boyfriend snores like I have the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- 28:32Speaker 12: guy beside me.
- 28:33Speaker 1: I have more skeletons in my closet. Hey, honey, it's 2026.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Just ghost him. Well, just a couple minutes ago, we
- 28:40Speaker 1: were talking about a DM we got from a listener.
- 28:42Speaker 1: It's Halloween weekend and her boyfriend wants her to stay
- 28:45Speaker 1: in a haunted house. I don't know if I could
- 28:48Speaker 1: do that. But we asked you guys, what do you think?
- 28:51Speaker 1: Could you stay at a haunted house over Halloween weekend?
- 28:54Speaker 1: This is the number one moment.
- 28:55Speaker 9: There is no way in hell you would catch me
- 28:58Speaker 9: going to a haunted house on Halloween weekend.
- 29:01Speaker 14: I think you should tell your boyfriend he can go
- 29:03Speaker 14: by himself.
- 29:05Speaker 4: See, I think it's an opportunity to kind of like
- 29:07Speaker 4: do something fun as a couple, right?
- 29:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Like you have that as an experience.
- 29:11Speaker 2: A little suspense in your life.
- 29:13Speaker 8: Exactly.
- 29:14Speaker 3: Could bring it together a little bit more.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she should go. Sarah, just go to
- 29:18Speaker 1: the haunted house.
- 29:19Speaker 11: All right?
- 29:19Speaker 1: It's not that big of a deal. Either one or
- 29:21Speaker 1: two things are going to happen. Either nothing's going to
- 29:23Speaker 1: happen or you walk away with cool stories for the
- 29:26Speaker 1: rest of your life. I grew up in a haunted
- 29:27Speaker 1: house and I'm fine.
- 29:28Speaker 5: Have fun.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going to hurt you.
- 29:32Speaker 4: She just said she grew up in a haunted house.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's fine.
- 29:35Speaker 3: A lot of people have stories like that.
- 29:37Speaker 5: Right.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:39Speaker 3: The only encounter I ever had was I had a
- 29:42Speaker 3: friend that would go ghost hunting. And he had this equipment,
- 29:46Speaker 3: this machine that he would go into cemeteries at night
- 29:50Speaker 3: and he would record. But then he'd have to listen
- 29:53Speaker 3: to it back the next day. And so he came
- 29:55Speaker 3: to me and he played me a recording he got
- 29:57Speaker 3: in a cemetery that And there was a voice on
- 30:00Speaker 3: there that came through that said, leave.
- 30:02Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 30:02Speaker 3: Or get out. I forget what it was. And that
- 30:04Speaker 3: was probably, I mean, it shivers down my spine. Yeah.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Whoa.
- 30:08Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 30:08Speaker 3: You might be asking, who are the people that go
- 30:10Speaker 3: to cemeteries in the middle of the night with a machine?
- 30:13Speaker 3: I know. I don't know. Weird people.
- 30:15Speaker 2: What's the machine?
- 30:16Speaker 3: It's like a recorder.
- 30:17Speaker 1: I think it's called like a spirit box or something.
- 30:19Speaker 5: Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Oh, Riley, are you into this paranormal stuff?
- 30:23Speaker 1: I watch these two YouTubers that go ghost hunting.
- 30:26Speaker 5: Oh, I know.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Sam and Colby.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Sam and Colby, yeah. So I'm like, I'm into that.
- 30:29Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Again, I don't know. I would go, but I don't
- 30:32Speaker 1: think I'd sleep at all. Like the entire night, I'd
- 30:34Speaker 1: be like this with the covers like up to my chin,
- 30:36Speaker 1: like something going to happen.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Well, has anything ever happened with Sam and Colby?
- 30:40Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 30:41Speaker 1: They yeah, they get they have a ton of machinery
- 30:43Speaker 1: that they like get responses to. But they I don't
- 30:46Speaker 1: think they've ever seen a ghost, but allegedly ghosts don't
- 30:49Speaker 1: like cameras and they're recording it for YouTube. But they've
- 30:52Speaker 1: had a ton of like experiences.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. They're not looking for attention.
- 30:59Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:00Speaker 3: Aren't they usually trapped or stuck in between? That's what
- 31:04Speaker 3: I'm saying. They're kind of just in limbo.
- 31:06Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:08Speaker 4: And they haven't fully passed to the next life.
- 31:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:11Speaker 7: When I went to college, it was in Newport, Rhode
- 31:14Speaker 7: Island with all the Gilded Ages mansions. And those dorms
- 31:18Speaker 7: were definitely haunted. They were old carriage houses, old servant quarters.
- 31:23Speaker 7: I definitely was freezing no matter what I did. It
- 31:26Speaker 7: was definitely haunted.
- 31:29Speaker 2: I just thought of something. When I was young and
- 31:31Speaker 2: playing Little League baseball, I know your son Abel was
- 31:33Speaker 2: into baseball.
- 31:34Speaker 6: Good morning.
- 31:37Speaker 2: The old grammar school, the Kelly School, my first grade,
- 31:41Speaker 2: we moved across the street to a brand-new school. But
- 31:44Speaker 2: the old Brick Kelly School stood for years, and all
- 31:48Speaker 2: the windows were boarded up. And where we played our
- 31:51Speaker 2: Little League games, the famous story in town were the
- 31:55Speaker 2: Green Men. The green men were living in the old
- 31:58Speaker 2: Kelly School, the abandoned Kelly School. Now that I think
- 32:02Speaker 2: of it, I mean, it was everywhere. The green men,
- 32:06Speaker 2: I was up at the plate looking down the third baseline,
- 32:09Speaker 2: and there was the Kelly School, and I saw an image.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Was it a green man?
- 32:13Speaker 2: It was. I saw an image sticking its head out.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Who were the green men?
- 32:18Speaker 2: They were supposedly, you know.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Like soldiers or something?
- 32:21Speaker 2: From another planet.
- 32:22Speaker 4: You've had like a long history of seeing ghosts.
- 32:25Speaker 2: I forgot about the Kelly School. And if someone's listening
- 32:27Speaker 2: from East Cambridge, you know what I'm talking about.
- 32:29Speaker 3: The Green Men. Lisa.
- 32:31Speaker 1: What is he capping?
- 32:32Speaker 3: We don't know.
- 32:33Speaker 2: How am I going to make up the Green Men
- 32:35Speaker 2: at the Kelly School boarded up windows? My brother and
- 32:38Speaker 2: I and our crew used to break into the Kelly School.
- 32:41Speaker 1: What is he capping?
- 32:43Speaker 2: One time my brother was so crazy, like four of
- 32:46Speaker 2: us went in in the total darkness. We had a
- 32:49Speaker 2: flashlight and he had planned. He was such a pranker.
- 32:52Speaker 2: We were up on like the fifth floor. You had
- 32:55Speaker 2: to crawl around. There were giant holes in the floor
- 32:57Speaker 2: and everything. And he had a plan to leave me
- 33:01Speaker 2: and take the flashlight. And they did. They left me
- 33:05Speaker 2: alone on the fifth floor. Total darkness. I had to crawl.
- 33:09Speaker 2: And he never came to get me. They actually left me.
- 33:14Speaker 2: The area, the neighborhood. I had to find my way out.
- 33:18Speaker 3: You got punished, man.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Every day was something with my brother.
- 33:23Speaker 2: My life was at stake. Good morning, Kiss One Week crew.
- 33:27Speaker 11: I live in a really old house, and I've never
- 33:29Speaker 11: noticed anything crazy, but like... Um, like sometimes my shade
- 33:32Speaker 11: will roll up by itself, which is kind of crazy,
- 33:34Speaker 11: but I think it's just the way the house is
- 33:35Speaker 11: like such an old house.
- 33:36Speaker 2: Those parts are kind of old.
- 33:38Speaker 11: Um, but I used to go to school near the
- 33:39Speaker 11: Denver state hospital and a lot of those tuberculosis tunnels,
- 33:42Speaker 11: like kind of run near my school. And one day
- 33:44Speaker 11: we were walking, um, for gym class. We were like
- 33:46Speaker 11: walking in the woods behind my school. And there were
- 33:48Speaker 11: so many old hospital beds. It just like gives you like, Oh, this.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Is kind of weird.
- 33:52Speaker 11: But there was like all kinds of stuff.
- 33:53Speaker 3: There's a lot of hospital beds.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Oh, that's freaky.
- 33:56Speaker 2: There was torture going on.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Yikes.
- 33:59Speaker 6: Hmm.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Well, that's why so many places are haunted because stuff
- 34:02Speaker 1: like that happens. And then there's like so many deaths.
- 34:05Speaker 1: They like compile.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's Halloween week.
- 34:09Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 34:10Speaker 3: By the way, Maureen Hancock. Yes. Coming in next Monday.
- 34:14Speaker 3: We try to get her on Halloween week like we
- 34:16Speaker 3: do every single year, but she's away somewhere. So she's
- 34:19Speaker 3: coming in next Monday, which actually is the day of
- 34:21Speaker 3: the dead. Yes.
- 34:22Speaker 2: It's perfect.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Oh, the day of the dead.
- 34:25Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
- 34:26Speaker 3: So she'll be here to take your calls.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Hi, it's the mayor.
- 34:29Speaker 8: I think the girlfriend should go on the trip to
- 34:32Speaker 8: the haunted house and be nice to her boyfriend.
- 34:35Speaker 2: I have ghosts here at the.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Brownstones, and Billy is correct.
- 34:39Speaker 8: She is in black and white, and she also appears
- 34:43Speaker 8: in a mirror. Because I did the history of my brownstone,
- 34:47Speaker 8: and it used to be a brothel back in the day.
- 34:50Speaker 8: So I ain't afraid of no ghosts.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Boo! All right, I got to wrap up the Halloween
