  Speaker 3: It's just a great start to my day.
• 0:05
  Speaker 4: On Kiss 108.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: That's right, cue the music. Here we go, the Billy
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and Lisa morning show, the Thursday edition. It is Thursday today,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: September 3rd. And by the way, the day before we
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: start the long Labor Day weekend.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: So what you're saying is tomorrow is... The big Labor
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: Day weekend show.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: It's the Labor Day weekend show.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we spend months every year prepping. For the Labor
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Day weekend show. We've got so much stuff planned for tomorrow.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: We labor.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: For the Labor Day weekend show. I haven't told you
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: guys yet, but I've been working behind the scenes for
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a week. We've got a barbecue company bringing in a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: giant barbecue stove. I had to get all kinds of permitting. Oh,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and a smoker. We're bringing in a smoker. We're going
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to have it all right here in the studio. I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: had to come in and put in special venting and everything.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I've got to stop producing, buddy.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: It's the Labor Day weekend show.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: All right. That's okay.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Are we having a parking lot party?
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, no.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: We're doing it right here in the studio. That's why
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: they had to come in for the permitting because of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the venting. It gets pretty smoky. Oh, okay. That's why
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: they call it a smoker. There's going to be dancing, though.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: It's the Labor Day weekend show.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: See what I mean?
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: See what I mean? You got to get pumped up.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You got to gear up.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: And, of course, we can't forget, we wait all year
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: long for this moment, for this Labor Day weekend.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Happy, happy Labor Day.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I've been talking, so.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She had a smoker that year.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we wait all year for that, really.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: We have 63 days.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, shut up, Hillary. Yeah. We're going to have celebrities, artists.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: What's up, y'all?
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: It's Darius Rucker, and I hope you have a happy,
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: work-free Labor Day weekend.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Darius giving a well wishes. He knows how long we've
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: been working on this. It's going to be the biggest
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend show ever. Producer Riley, I think this
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: is the first show you'll be working where this much
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: work is being put into it. The big Labor Day
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: weekend show. That's tomorrow.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I can't wait.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Meantime, we've got a rainy day today, Lise.
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: A lot of rain this morning. So if you're heading out,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: going to school, it's definitely going to be raining. But
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: you'll see some sun this afternoon, but then more rain
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: this evening.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: But it's going to be hot, like humid.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: That was part of the planning behind the scenes. I arranged,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I had a personal conversation with Mother Nature. And she
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: agreed to give us some rain today so we don't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: have it for the Labor Day weekend show. There's none.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a beautiful weekend.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. See that? All you have to do is have
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a common sense conversation with Mother Nature. You work things out.
• 2:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But today.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: It's warm, but it's wet.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: It really is.
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And as we approach the Labor Day weekend, apparently somebody
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: called in with a dilemma. We've got that, Justin.
• 3:06
  Speaker 10: Good morning, morning crew.
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: I have a specific question for Lisa, the queen of protocol.
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: If you go out to eat with three or four couples,
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: but one of the people is ordering $ 150 bottles of
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: wine and expensive appetizers, but then they insist that you, oh, please,
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: you have to try the oysters. You have to try
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: this wine. But then when the bill comes? Do you
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: have to pay a king's ransom because they're indulgent? What
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: would you do, Lisa? What would you do?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Lisa, what would you do?
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that this is a common problem. It's
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: also happened to me on several different occasions.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: So is this our topic time today?
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Well, wait, hold on.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. So wait.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: So if that happens to you and somebody orders a
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: lot of drinks or an expensive meal, you ask to
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: split it?
• 3:54
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: That's what happened. And we we had to split it. OK,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: the problem is, is you don't want to come across cheap. OK,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: so if you at the end of the night are like, well, whoa, whoa, whoa,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: wait a second. I didn't have this. You had this.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: That's just like. makes the evening, it like brings it down, right?
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Like everyone's having a good time.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, cheapskate.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: A little bit, right? So you suck it up, you
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: suck it up, and you just throw your card down,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: you know, and you split it, you know, whatever, three
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: or four ways.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Don't even get me going on this, okay? Because I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: have friends that do this.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I do too. So you just suck it up. The
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: better thing to do probably is when you guys sit down,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: and I've done this too, you tell the server, hey,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: we're all getting separate checks. So that's one way to
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: kind of like sideline the awkwardness at the end of
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the evening. If you're out with one couple, and you
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: know the couple in the group who's going to do that, right?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yep. Here's what I think. If you're one of those
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: people that's going to order a $ 200 bottle of wine,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: go to dinner alone. No, and I'm serious. Just go
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: out on a date with your wife, your significant other,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and have your expensive wine. But you can't drag other
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: people into your wine thing.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: So what do you do? Do you say something?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: That's what sucks about this.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Because you order the same thing. A piece of salmon,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: a Cosmo, maybe two Cosmos. I mean, your bill is
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: not going to be crazy. They order a $ 200 bottle
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: of wine or the most expensive thing on the menu.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: The bill comes.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: What do you do? That's why they should be going alone.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Don't put me in the position where all of a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: sudden I'm a cheapskate.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Answer the question. Do you say something or not? That
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: is the question.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think I could say anything, but I don't
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: want to be put in that position where I have
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to say something. You shouldn't order an expensive bottle of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: wine with a group.
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: When you're going out with a group, be group-minded and
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: think about the other people in the group.
• 5:49
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: And you know it's a red wine. Listen, I'm not
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: one to talk because I probably wouldn't. I won't say
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: anything either. It's happened to me, especially with alcohol.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I don't drink.
• 5:59
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: So people are in the group. They order drinks and
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: the bill comes and we're all splitting it. I don't
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: I should say something, but I don't because I don't
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: want to come off as a cheapskate.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But you shouldn't be put in that position. You of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: all people, like you say, you don't drink at all.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So how do you sit at a table with Justin
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and his wife? They don't drink at all. And you
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: order a $ 250 bottle of wine.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: My salsa water is a three bucks. That's how much
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: it costs. But then you got producer Riley who would
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: speak up in a second. She's not putting up with it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I agree with you. I don't really drink
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and I don't mind looking cheap.
• 6:32
  Speaker 13: Like if I didn't eat something and I didn't drink something,
• 6:35
  Speaker 13: I'm not paying for it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Sorry.
• 6:37
  Speaker 13: But if the bill comes, I'll I'm the kind of
• 6:39
  Speaker 13: person that will be like, I didn't have any of that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 13: Like if you're going somewhere and in buying something that's expensive,
• 6:45
  Speaker 13: you should be expected to pay for it yourself.
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: That's why.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: That's why it's easier when you sit down. Tell the
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: server we're all getting separate checks.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I'm very pro separate checks. I love a separate check.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Set the expectations up. Set up. Set the expectations up.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But again, the expensive wine people always read wine. They're
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: putting everybody else in a position they don't want to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: be in. Just go out alone, get the wine. And
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: when you're getting with friends, just get yourself a drink.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: You got an opinion on this? Hit the talk backs
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: on the iHeart app. We'd love to hear from you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: What else are they talking about out there this morning?
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: It's the mayor of the South Bend.
• 7:22
  Speaker 12: Can we talk about Dancing with the Stars' new lineup?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know any of these people. Well, I know
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a couple.
• 7:29
  Speaker 12: Julia Stiles, the actress, one of the guys from Hanson,
• 7:34
  Speaker 12: the announcer Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel. But there's one hottie,
• 7:38
  Speaker 12: that Savannah Bananas guy, Jackson Olsen.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He is really hot.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Woo!
• 7:44
  Speaker 12: Have a great day, everyone.
• 7:46
  Speaker 13: From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios, we're back with
• 7:50
  Speaker 13: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So the new season of Dancing with the Stars, season 35,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is going to kick off September 15th on ABC and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Disney +. And the lineup for season 35 was announced,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I believe, on Good Morning America yesterday. And here is
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the list. And once I read the list, we can
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: offer our opinions. Julia Stiles, remember Save the Last Dance?
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Love that movie.
• 8:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: She's in the lineup.
• 8:21
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Jenna Dewan. Wasn't she in that Step Up movie?
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: She was with Channing Tatum. That's where they met.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So a couple of people there with dance experience. She's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a dancer.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Very much so.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Tatiana Ali from Fresh Prince in the lineup, as is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Taylor Hanson from the boy band Hanson, the Mboppers. Mbopp, yeah,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that gets stuck in your head.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Wow, so wait, so Tatiana Ali from Fresh Prince, and
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: also the show is hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, also from
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: the Fresh Prince.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: That's right. Connection there.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Carlton.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Alfonso will do the big... Opening number, as
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he does it most episodes, especially for the season opener.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He's great. Big, giant dance production with Alfonso. Yeah. Maybe
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: we'll do the Carlton dance. He usually works it in.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: That would be good. Tyler Cameron, The Bachelorette Show.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I'm excited for him.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: Yes, I am.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: I've always thought he was so handsome.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: All right. So you want him in there because he's handsome. 100%.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Remember Giada De Laurentiis, the TV chef? Yes. She's... on
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars, the new season, as is Harry
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Shum from Glee and Grey's Anatomy. Connor Levitt, Whitney Levitt's husband.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: They're from the Mormon. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Guillermo
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: from The Kimmel Show.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, Guillermo's on there.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: I love Guillermo.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He's the best.
• 9:47
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know how far he'll get, though. And let's see.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Jackson from the Savannah Bananas. I think we knew that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: We talked about that a couple of weeks ago. And yeah,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: so it kicks off September. 15th on ABC and Disney Plus.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Producer Riley, I'm told there's already controversy. There's already hate.
• 10:08
  Speaker 13: Yeah, people are kind of upset because Jenna Johnson and
• 10:11
  Speaker 13: Val Tchaikovsky, who are both pro dancers, got really good
• 10:16
  Speaker 13: partners this year with Disney.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Dance experience.
• 10:18
  Speaker 13: They got Jenna Dewan and Harry Shum Jr. So people
• 10:21
  Speaker 13: are like, why do they always get the best partners?
• 10:24
  Speaker 13: It seems like unfair to people because they've been on
• 10:27
  Speaker 13: the show since like the start and they always get
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: really good people. But also Jenna Johnson got Harry Shum Jr.
• 10:33
  Speaker 13: And another pro dancer, Britt, who's like a big fan
• 10:37
  Speaker 13: favorite pro dancer, has openly talked about how that's her
• 10:40
  Speaker 13: dream partner.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And people are like, well, why didn't they just give.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: It to Britt?
• 10:43
  Speaker 13: Why did Jenna have to get this really great dancer?
• 10:46
  Speaker 13: When Britt has openly talked about how she wants him.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So you personally are actually part of the controversy.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I'm just reporting on it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: But do you think it could work against them? Because
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: sometimes it's about the journey, like the person that walks
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: in like a Julia Stiles who may not be able
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: to dance at all. And then like you see her
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: journey to become like this amazing dancer. And that's a
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: part of the show that's always been. Kind of fun
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: to watch.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Didn't something like that happen way back when Emmett Smith
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was one of the dancers, right? The fans get behind him.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's good. We have to mention Sarah Jane Nader.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: So she's Love Thy Nader. She's Brooke Nader's sister. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: she's bisexual, and she's dancing with a woman.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Is that a first for Dancing with the Stars?
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: No, it's not a first. It's the second time. It's
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Hayley Bills, and she's super excited to do it. So
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: that's going to be interesting, too.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: I just didn't know that Jenny Johnson was a dancer.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know, right?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 11:40
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: She does it all, doesn't she, Jenny?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: She really does. That's Jenny Johnson, Dining Playbook and Meat
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Boston on Nesson Saturday mornings and Sunday night. But Jenna
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Dewan is the focus, I think, of a lot of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the controversy. And she actually responded to it yesterday.
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: There's parts of my dance training that's helpful, obviously. You know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: I've learned choreography. I can perform. But there is a
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: certain sense of unlearning for me. It's a new technique,
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: brand new technique. And it almost threw me off initially
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: because I had to unlearn a lot of, I don't
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: want to say bad habits, but just habits of the
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: style that I'm used to. So it almost makes me
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: a little more nervous, to be honest, because it feels
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: really foreign. It's not like you're giving me a style
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: that I've done.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: I can go out there and do that. So that's interesting.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: So, yeah, it has its advantages, but it also has
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: its challenges. But that's part of why I wanted to
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: do it. I really wanted to challenge myself.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: No, she's playing us. She's got a lot of dance experience.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: She does.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: So basically, producer Riley, people are going to be rooting
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: against Jenna Dewan.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: They might, but I actually do agree with her.
• 12:45
  Speaker 13: We've seen many seasons of people who come in with
• 12:48
  Speaker 13: dance experience. Last year, Whitney Levitt got a degree in
• 12:51
  Speaker 13: dance like she was this big dancer before she became
• 12:54
  Speaker 13: a reality TV star. And she didn't win because there
• 12:57
  Speaker 13: were people that, like Lisa said, had a better journey,
• 13:00
  Speaker 13: ended up becoming better dancers. And sometimes dance experience can
• 13:04
  Speaker 13: hinder your experience because. Like she said, you have to
• 13:07
  Speaker 13: unlearn everything that you've already learned. And she does a
• 13:10
  Speaker 13: lot of hip hop, which sometimes isn't helpful to like
• 13:14
  Speaker 13: the cha-cha or the ballroom dancing or whatever.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Didn't they just add a new element to the show
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: where they had Dancing with the Stars finding a new pro?
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And I think they named a new pro this week.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Billy, there was a lot of controversy for that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Oh God, there too? Yeah. What happened?
• 13:29
  Speaker 13: There's a guy that got really mad at one of
• 13:32
  Speaker 13: the pros, Riley, who is on this season of Dancing
• 13:35
  Speaker 13: with the Stars. And- It was honestly, it was a
• 13:38
  Speaker 13: whole thing that it doesn't even really matter. He was
• 13:39
  Speaker 13: just like salty that she's a professional dancer and he's not.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Can't we all just get along? It's a stupid dance show.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: So who are we rooting for?
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Well, I want Tyler Cameron to win from The Bachelorette.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I like Julia Stiles.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Listen, Save the Last Dance is one of my favorite
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: movies of all time.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Great, great movie.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And 10 Things I Hate About You.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And she was also in the Bourne movies.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I have to say Giada De Laurentiis, she could be like,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: you know, in the running too.
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: Why?
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Because she's beautiful. She's athletic. She's got all of the
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: TV Food Network people behind her.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: If she were smart, she would bring food every day
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to the rest of the cast. Or to cook up
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a meal.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Or to like, you know, to the judges.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I'm rooting for the Hanson guy just so we can
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: play Mbop every day.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: After the judge.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: There we go.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I was going to say.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Poor Tatiana Ali from the Fresh Prince. Yeah?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about Amber Glenn, the figure skater.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to remember her from the Olympics. She
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: was in the most recent Olympic Games, right?
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was in Milan.
• 14:43
  Speaker 13: She was part of like the three girls that got
• 14:45
  Speaker 13: really famous, like the ice princesses.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: That's what everybody was calling me.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Who was the one I really like with
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the racing stripes in her hair?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Alyssa Liu, right?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Alyssa Liu, yeah. She was cool.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: She was cool.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So when's it premiere?
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: 18th and 19th of, sorry, 15th and 16th of September.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we know Riley will be watching. Oh, for sure.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I will be watching. Riley, do you like to dance?
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: No, I'm not.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I like dancing.
• 15:08
  Speaker 13: I'm just not good at it. But I just love
• 15:10
  Speaker 13: critiquing people on stuff that I'm not good at.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. That's an interesting angle. Yeah, I can't dance
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: at all, so I want to judge people who can.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: It's like we went to the bare knuckle fights this
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: past weekend, and we ate dinner before on Bill's boat,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: and we had this huge meal, my friend and I.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: We're stuffed to the gills. Ice cream after the meal.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: We get to Fenway. We're all just stuffed sitting there,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: and we're like... Loser.
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: Look at you.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: You didn't show you've done more cardio.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 15:39
  Speaker 14: Crazy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Billy and Lisa. Now, the entertainment update with Billy Costa
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: on Kiss 108.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, the Bruno Mars double play is still going on. Although,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: although today is the final day for the Bruno Mars
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: double play and we will pick a grand prize winner.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: tomorrow on the show, just in time for the big
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend show.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: This has been an incredible contest.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Should have mentioned that earlier. That's part of the giant
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend show tomorrow. But again, we're going to
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: play today. If you hear two Bruno Mars songs in
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a row, you'd be calling 25. And you win tickets
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to one of his sold-out shows this weekend out at
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Gillette Stadium. But you qualify for the grand prize, too.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. And this just in, by the way. Bruno
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Mars is teaming up with Hello Kitty with a pop-up
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: in Boston. A lot of cool merchandise. And it's only
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: being available at 376 Boylston Street in Boston. It starts tomorrow.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: It goes through Sunday. And Lisa the Fashionista, what is
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Hello Kitty?
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: All right. Hello Kitty is a little... Kitty, who actually
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: striking a resemblance to Bruno Mars a little bit.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: And it's so cute.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: So it's a pop up. It's on Boylston Street. It's hoodies, T-shirts,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: tote bags, crop tops only sold at this pop up location.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: And yeah, it's it's part of the romantic tour. A
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: lot of hearts. And yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And this collaborative merch will not be available at the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: stadium for the show.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It won. This is the second time he's teamed up
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: with Hello Kitty. So obviously it's working.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow through Sunday, 376 at Boylston Street. Get some merch. Bruno,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: by the way, just dropped to the music video for
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: his collaboration with Carol G. It's called Still. We have
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a clip. Is this his third ballad in a row? Justin,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you're the music director.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Well, he had Risk It All, Die With a Smile,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: and now this one with Karol G.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Boy, he's becoming like a lounge singer. Well, then again,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I guess he always has been.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Well, he's the artist that people go to to make
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: a massive hit, right? You look at Rosé, Lady Gaga,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Karol G.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Cardi B.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Cardi B. Oh, right. Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Okay. Meantime, Harry Styles back at Madison Square Garden last night.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: It's 30 shows, but he does them on Wednesday, Wednesday,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday night. So last night he was back
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: there and last night he had a cool interaction with
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: a six year old fan in the audience. Somebody's not
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: raising a sign, but they're raising a small child over there.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: What's your name, sir?
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: Neil.
• 18:20
  Speaker 12: Neil.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Neil, my armpits are in pain looking at.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: The way they're being held.
• 18:26
  Speaker 12: Hi, Neil.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Are you having a nice time so far? Are you
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: from New York now?
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Neil, I've got a secret.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Your shoelace is untied. He just seems so relaxed on
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: stage during his shows, doesn't he, Harry Styles?
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: His voice is so relaxed. That's why he was a
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: part of the call map.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, right.
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Imagine laying next to him every night.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I will mention that TMZ reported this morning that he's
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: eyeing other tour dates in the U.S. because MSG was
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: such a smash hit.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Well, he'll tour. Yeah. Possibly.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: That's what TMZ is reporting.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: What do we think? Stadium tour or arenas? I see
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: him more in arenas, although he could sell out stadiums
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: in a flash.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: It makes sense, right?
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Well, he could finish out MSG and then take a
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: break over the winter and then stadium tours next year.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, Lisa, this story is for you. You're the biggest
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: George Michael fan I know. And his Faith Tour, the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: concert film, is coming to theaters November 4th, along with
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a live album, which drops November 6th. And the trailer...
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's all remastered. The entire show. Check it out.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I suppose what faith meant to me was life was
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: still going to deliver. Amazing.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: All right. So the way they did this is they
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: restored and remastered it. and it will be in IMAX theaters, too.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I can't wait to see this.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: The quality, if you watch it, is amazing.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: It looks like it was filmed yesterday.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: In 2026.
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really, really good. Lisa's first reaction when she saw
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the clip? Boy, he knew how to wear a pair
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of jeans.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: He really did. Right, a pair of Levi's.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Well, when I think about George Michael, I was a
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: young kid when he was really popular. I think about
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: the jeans, the black leather jacket, and the white shirt underneath.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And don't forget the suspenders. Yeah, I can't forget those.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I think we should bring suspenders back in a big way.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, Bill, you do that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Well, when you see a guy with suspenders, you notice.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: You're like, huh.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Especially... If he knows how to wear a pair of jeans,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you throw in the suspenders, you get yourself a look.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. In case you missed it yesterday, Tiger
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Woods lost his driver's license for five years, part of
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a plea deal on his most recent crash and OUI.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: So he cannot drive a car for five years. But
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the question raised for the sheriff yesterday was, Can he
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: still drive a golf cart?
• 20:55
  Speaker 14: Oh, my God. That's a great question.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Actually, you. Yeah, I think you could.
• 21:00
  Speaker 14: Can you drive a golf? You know what? You got me.
• 21:02
  Speaker 14: We'll have to look into that. I'll get back to you.
• 21:04
  Speaker 14: I know you cannot drive a golf cart while impaired
• 21:07
  Speaker 14: on the roads because it is a vehicle.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: But I don't.
• 21:11
  Speaker 14: My gut reaction is going to be no. But great question.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: And I'll get back to you. Keep in mind, he
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: lives in Florida.
• 21:17
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Florida law, I looked it up, allows anyone over 18
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: to operate a golf cart without a driver's license on
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: public property or golf courses.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Imagine if he smashes a golf cart into a restaurant
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: or a patio, a sidewalk. You know what?
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Let's hope not.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody drives around in golf carts in Florida. My son
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Alex does.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: But here's hoping he's getting some help or got some
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: help and is not, you know, popping pills and drinking.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: There's another question around this. How about a driverless car?
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I looked that up, too. And it says current autonomous
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: or driver assist systems like the Tesla's full self-driving still
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: require a driver's license behind the wheel.
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: Mm hmm.
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: How about just get a driver? Why not? What are
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: we doing? They should all just have a driver.
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: But especially him, because he had a lot of issues.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Most not his own fault. He had a lot of
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: injuries over the years.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: He can afford it. Yeah.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: It's a privacy thing.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Billy and I were talking about that.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: It's that, you know, they don't want people to hear
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: their phone calls, know who they're with, know where they're going.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Where they're going is a big one. All of a sudden,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: they're pulling up at a weird spa. So Drake May
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and his wife Ann Michael have a new partnership with L.L.
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: Bean.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: The two of them are L.L. Bean ambassadors. Here's one
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of the first commercials. I mean, being a quarterback is
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: nice and all, but you know what I really love?
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: Flannels.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: I see a flannel yesterday on Instagram. Yeah, they have
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: a multi-year deal with L.L.
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: Bean.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It makes sense.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: They are the it couple in New England.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, those deals are going to keep on coming.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Home and hearth. She's making cookies. He's wearing the flannel.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: She's got the slippers on.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: L.L. Bean's good, too. They make good stuff.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: They do.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Quality stuff. There's one at Tuscan in Salem, New Hampshire.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I have their slippers. I've
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: had them for like three years. They're still good.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: It's fun to go in there. It's fun to go
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: in with the kids.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: And the two of them are so comfortable.
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Yes. So they could see a lot of other endorsements
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: coming their way. How about this? Travis, Kelsey and Taylor
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Swift just bought a giant house in Ohio. Five million
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: plus eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and a two bedroom guest
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: cottage in Ohio. And if you're keeping count, they now
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: have homes in Los Angeles, New York, Kansas City and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: now Ohio. And they're supposedly looking for their together home
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: in Montecito. where a lot of other famous people, Jennifer
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Aniston lives there. Oprah lives in Montecito. And at least
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the feud between the two Alexes is heating up yet again.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Well, Alex Earle's show debuts tomorrow on Netflix, and she
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: was asked on the red carpet about it, and she
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: said that, you know, her shows, you know, she has
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: a new show, right? Alex Cooper's show. Love Overboard just
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: got canceled.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: It was canceled.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 24:06
  Speaker 13: I'm happy that I said my piece and whatever, but
• 24:10
  Speaker 13: I'm happier just to, like, focus on the premiere and
• 24:12
  Speaker 13: having the show out there, and, you know, hers are
• 24:14
  Speaker 13: getting canceled.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: So it is what it is.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: She had to throw that in, right? Yeah, hers are
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: getting canceled. So petty.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: I can be a petty bitch, I guess.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And... Again, the new season of Dancing with the Stars
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: kicks off September 15th. They announced the lineup on Good
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Morning America yesterday. Julia Stiles, Jenna Dewan, Tatiana Ali, one
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of the guys from Hanson, the oom-bop guys, and one
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: of the Savannah Bananas is in the lineup.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: People were upset that Billy called it a little stupid
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: dance show.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I did?
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, Billy hosted Dancing with the Realtors.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: That's true. You're no one to talk. That was a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: big show.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: People are really excited, Bill, for this upcoming season.
• 24:59
  Speaker 15: I have a little message for Billy. The thing that
• 25:02
  Speaker 15: he does is not the same little stupid dance stuff.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: It is our life.
• 25:07
  Speaker 15: That's the only thing I live for in the fall.
• 25:10
  Speaker 15: A lot of people are excited for like Monday night
• 25:12
  Speaker 15: football and all that. You know, this is Tuesday night
• 25:15
  Speaker 15: football for us. This is Tuesday night Anthony Starr's night.
• 25:18
  Speaker 15: Nobody better call or text me or talk to me.
• 25:21
  Speaker 15: This is what we live for.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: It's not stupid. We're very excited for this episode.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: You want to apologize, Bill?
• 25:28
  Speaker 15: No.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: What I want to do is defy you, Justin, to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: find a clip of me saying the words, it's a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: stupid little dance show. Okay. Well, they heard it. Without editing. No,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I don't edit anything.
• 25:40
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I'll try to track it down. I defy you to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: find that clip. Why would she leave the talk back?
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. She must have been listening to another show. Okay.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: I love dancing with the show. I'll go on the
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: hunt and I'll edit it. I mean, find it as
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: soon as I can.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: We are....
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: We're brought to you by the 99 Restaurants. Don't miss
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: out on the Surfer Turf weekend. It's a special at
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the 99 Restaurant this Friday through Monday. It starts tomorrow
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: through the holiday. Order the Colossal Lobster Roll or the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: 18-ounce T-Bone Steak and get a free three-course meal upgrade.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend only. You've got to love the nines.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And there you go.
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: I can be a petty bitch, I guess.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I love Billy and Lisa.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Kiss 108. So the phone number for the Billy and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Lisa Morning Show is 877-617-1108. You can also send us
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: a talk back. Because the question is, Do you split
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the bill when someone else at the table orders a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: very expensive bottle of wine? Because we got this talk
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: back this morning.
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: Good morning, morning crew.
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: I have a specific question for Lisa, the queen of protocol.
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: If you go out to eat with three or four couples,
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: but one of the people is ordering $ 150 bottles of
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: wine and expensive appetizers, but then they insist that you, oh, please,
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: you have to try the oysters. You have to try
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: this wine. But then when the bill comes, do you
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: have to pay a king's ransom because they're indulgent?
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: What would you do, Lisa?
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: What would you do?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Princess of protocol. Help me, Lisa.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Okay. This has happened to me on several occasions. It's awkward.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: It's weird. Shame on the couple, right? You're going to
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: talk about them after, by the way, right? How could
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: they absolutely do that?
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: So in, in my case, you just suck it up
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: and we split the bill. Okay.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: But that's not, I have.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: To say that's probably not the right thing to do.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: The better thing to do is moving forward is set expectations.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: When you sit down, tell the server that, You're taking
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: separate checks.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Get ahead of it. That's like the easiest, most effective
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: thing you can do. And it like it takes care
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: of all of that, that weirdness at the end of
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: the night when the bill comes, because you've had like
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: a great night. But it's like, you know, set the expectation.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I have another idea. If you're one of those couples
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: that's going to order a very expensive bottle of wine
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: and you're going out to dinner with a group, don't
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: go out to dinner with a group. Go out to
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: dinner on your own. Have as much expensive wine as
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: you want. But when you're with a group, it's inappropriate
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: to order. I'm just saying.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Just saying.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Just have group mentality. Think about the other people that
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: are with you.
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: So in my case, I don't drink. If I go
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: out with a group. Other people drink, which is fine.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: But then the bill comes and I've been put in
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: situations where they want to split the bill. But, you know,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: I had like a chicken parm and a seltzer water,
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: you know, so my bill is 30 bucks. And then
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: with the drinks and everything, it'll equal out to paying
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: 80 bucks. And so I have just paid it. I've
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: split the bill. I did not speak up.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: If it happens one time, you know, OK, if it
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: happens again, then I need to get ahead of it,
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: like Lisa said, or say something.
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: But.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: I've never said anything because I don't want to be
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: a cheapskate.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: You don't.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Well, it makes no sense to split the bill. You
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: didn't have the expensive one. It's just inappropriate. Don't do
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: it if you're with a group. Follow-up question for you, Justin. Yes.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: What if you're on a cheat day and you're eating
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: like five entrees and you're with a group? I want
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: to order a lot of food.
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think if that has happened, but I
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: feel like I would not think that is fair and
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: I'd say something.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Or a separate check.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: Separate checks or pay extra, you know. Meanwhile, you got
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: producer Riley who says that she's speaking up no matter what.
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: I just think it's important that if I didn't eat something,
• 29:29
  Speaker 13: I shouldn't have to pay for it. And I don't
• 29:31
  Speaker 13: care if that makes me sound cheap. Like, I agree
• 29:34
  Speaker 13: with Lisa. I'm very pro splitting the check. I understand
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: if there's like a ton of people. then it gets
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: kind of complicated for like wait staff.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: And that's annoying.
• 29:43
  Speaker 13: But if somebody is ordering more, I don't understand why
• 29:47
  Speaker 13: they can just they can put their card down and
• 29:49
  Speaker 13: I'll say I can Venmo you.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I will look at the bill and tally up what
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I got. I don't care if I look cheap.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you something else about the person that's ordering
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the expensive, expensive bottle of wine with a group dinner.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: That's always the same person who's taking it upon himself
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: or herself to order apps for the table. How about
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: how about I order what I'd like? How about you
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: order your app and we'll order ours? How's that? I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: have to agree with you. They're the same type of person.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: They step right in. Yeah, I hope you don't mind.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to order for the rest of the table.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: First of all, what was your name again? I don't
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: remember meeting you before, and now you're choosing my meal.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: And then you're paying for apps that you didn't want.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: Did you eat?
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Hi, Justin. This is Phaedra. This situation happened to me
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: over the weekend. I was out to dinner with my
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: niece and my sister-in-law and two other women before a concert,
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: and I just nicely asked the waitress for my check separately.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat the appetizers, and
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: I'm in sobriety.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: I don't drink.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: And it took me almost four years to finally get
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: a separate check, but I did it. And you know what?
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: It worked out great, and no one was offended. They
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: completely understood. So speak up.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, I agree with that talkbacker.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we also don't want to make non-drinkers feel uncomfortable.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, just make it right. It's not that difficult
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a thing.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, do the right thing. But, man, this has struck
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: a chord, that's for sure.
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: Okay, so I am on the side that I do
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: like to have a cocktail or two. But I totally
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: agree because sometimes I just find myself like in the
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: mood for a chicken Caesar, right? But then I'm with
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: people that are ordering the five appetizers, the lobster, you know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: they're ordering dessert and dessert drinks. So then I find
• 31:38
  Speaker 11: myself sort of bumping up my order. Like, all right,
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: I guess I'll get the steak and take it home
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: if I'm paying for everybody else anyway.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: I hate it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: It's so awkward. I agree with her there. When you
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: think about the lobsters, the original one, right?
• 31:52
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Or somebody, yes, I love the baked stuffed lobster. Everybody
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: at the table is like, what? That was the original.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, God, she's still going this one. Oh, she's really
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: worked up.
• 32:06
  Speaker 11: Because sometimes I really just want a chicken Caesar salad.
• 32:09
  Speaker 11: It has nothing to do with being a cheapskate. And
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: I feel I don't like either way. I love that
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: you brought this up for topic time because it's so awkward.
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: I also used to work in the service industry, so
• 32:21
  Speaker 11: I also hate separate checks sometimes.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: I wish I could be brave like producer Riley. I
• 32:29
  Speaker 11: wish I could be brave and not feel cheap. I
• 32:31
  Speaker 11: end up just ordering more food.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: I have to say I'm glad she brought up the
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: server aspect of it because I'd love to hear from
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: a server and how they feel if there's like a
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: group of eight people and there's four separate checks and
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: it's just like so much work.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: On a busy Saturday night, no less.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of work.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Regarding the separate checks issue, as somebody who's worked in
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: the restaurant industry.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: That is one way to aggravate a server.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: You sit down with a table of ten people and
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: you need ten separate checks. People need to work on
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: things before they get to the restaurant.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: As a server that's busy, you don't have time.
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: For all that.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: It's true.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: That's the other side of it.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: So what's the answer, though?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: One person charges it and everybody else Venmo's?
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I've been in that situation, too.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: That's one, yeah.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Yep, where one card goes down and then you're responsible
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: for getting the money.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: But hold on, Lisa.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: Then you risk, because this has happened to us, the
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: one person who doesn't Venmo.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, and you don't want to ask.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: And you feel weird, like, hey, let me get that money.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Right, and it happens, and it's awkward.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you lose out on it. Is this
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: girl still going? Is she still going?
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: And the other thing is, it's always seafood. And I
• 33:35
  Speaker 11: don't even eat seafood. It's like, let's get the oysters,
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: the calamari, and the beef cheeks. And I'm like, beef cheeks?
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: I just wanted a chicken Caesar and a nice glass
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: of Chablis.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Beef cheeks.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I can totally relate with her because it's like, I'm
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: not a big eater, so it's like.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the expensive bottle of wine person is definitely getting
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: three orders of beef cheeks. And everybody else is like, honey.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: What a beef. That's what I was thinking.
• 34:03
  Speaker 13: Oh, man.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Kiss 108.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Topic Time presented by Ketches Law Group, the personal injury
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: experts at KetchesLaw.com. If you've been injured on the job,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: no fault of yours. You can set up an absolutely
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: free consult at KetchesLaw.com. So we got a heated talk
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: back very, very early this morning. And we've been talking
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: about it. This is a crazy situation. So you're out
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: at dinner. And somebody at the table, it's a group dinner, right, Liz?
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Right, group dinner.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Somebody at the table takes it upon himself or herself
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: to order a very expensive bottle of wine. What do
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: you do?
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Or very expensive appetizers and stuff that people don't want.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: And usually all of that.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: And now you're sitting there, who pays for what?
• 34:45
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Do you speak up and risk sounding cheap? Do you
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: just pay it? What do you do in that moment?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I have a couple of friends that do it. They
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: order an expensive bottle of wine, but they end up
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: actually picking up the entire tab. You could just tell
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: them no.
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: We were at the dinner one time at the Red
• 35:02
  Speaker 14: Rock in Swampscott.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: This one guy that was with us.
• 35:06
  Speaker 14: He tried to order a $ 200 bottle.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Of wine, and we immediately shut it down.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: We were like, nope, no thank you.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: That's good. Speak up. Yeah, you could do that. I
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: didn't know you could do that.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I guess.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: No, you're not ordering an expensive.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: It depends on the group.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Well, I think the right thing would be like, hey, okay,
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: you know, if you're going to order that, you're paying
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: for it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: And say it like, I'm taking care of this.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Correct. Correct.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: I went to a bachelorette in Seaport a couple of
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: years ago with probably 10 other girls and.
• 35:35
  Speaker 10: I wasn't drinking.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Um, so I literally just had water at lunch and
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: maybe a couple of chips that were, you know, put
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: on the table. I ended up paying over $ 50 for
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: that water because they decided to get pitchers of drinks
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: with their food.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: See, yeah, it's striking a chord here.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Lisa, you had an experience where you had a bunch
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: of women and you paid the tab, but then had
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: to chase everybody for the Venmo.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Well, it was a mom's night out. So there were
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: 25 women. So I split it with another mom, like
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: just because you cannot have 25 checks. And then you
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: ask everyone to Venmo you a certain amount of money.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: So you just hope everybody does the right thing. But
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: then there's always somebody you forget.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: And sometimes it's if they're drinking. You know, they're like, oh,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: I'll do it later. It just kind of slips their mind.
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And then you put in the position, do you say something?
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I couldn't say anything.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Because it makes you the bad guy all the time.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: You know what producer Riley would do? She'd send a
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Venmo request.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: She would send something.
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I know she would. Riley, wait a minute. You would what?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Venmo request them? Like, be like, hey, you owe me money.
• 36:41
  Speaker 13: Send me $ 15.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: The Venmo request alerts them. She's right. I gotta be
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: more like her.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: I know, but I can't sometimes.
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Well, you just send it. There you go. Hey, where's
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: my money? And then they look at it and they
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: have to send the money through Venmo.
• 36:56
  Speaker 12: True.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: You'd feel weird doing it, but then once you got
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: the money, you'd be glad you did.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Honestly, it's the right thing to do, and I have
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: to say they'll respect you for doing it.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Well, when it comes to splitting the bill, here's a
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: hot tip.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, Kirsten, wait.
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: It's Denise from Alden. I'm talking about splitting the bill.
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: I have a friend group of seven girls. We just
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: went to New York City for Harry Styles and we
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: had to split like 10 bills from eating. Use split app.
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: You get to take a picture of the receipt and
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: then everyone gets to go on their phone and specifically
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: click what they ordered and it calculates tip and tax.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's way above my pay grade. What do you mean? Like, what?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Take a picture of the bill and then click off
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the things you had? Using the app. And total them up? Yeah,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I like that idea.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: I think it's brilliant.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Don't you?
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: You pay for your stuff.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: It's a good way to kind of not have controversy.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: It's completely equitable. And then you can go out again
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: as a group.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: Clearly, if they're making an app, it's a real problem.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: True. For people.
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: I don't drink, so this happens to me a lot.
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: What I started doing is ordering the most expensive thing
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: on the menu.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: So if I have to pay for their drinks, they
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: have to pay for my lobster. Now there's that.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: That's a good point, man.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: God, I love this topic. Yeah, this is, I mean,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: I'm just going to eat alone from now on. And
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: thank you to everyone that's chiming in on this. I'm
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: looking at about 300 talkbacks.
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: That have things to say about it, so we appreciate that.
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: I can't even say this in 30 seconds. So this
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: recently happened to us. We had gone out to dinner
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: with a large group of people, and we tried to
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: split the check. The waitress wouldn't let us. The other
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: couple ordered... Lobster rolls. We split nachos. Fine. But when
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: the bill came, everybody wanted to split the bill evenly.
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: I ended up spending $ 250 on not a lot of food.
• 38:47
  Speaker 10: Poor thing.
