- 0:39Speaker 1: were a chaucer. Yeah, and I kind of knew the
- 0:42Speaker 1: second you stepped up to the starting line, the toss line,
- 0:46Speaker 1: that all the other schools were in trouble.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:49Speaker 1: We're really confident going into this. We knew what we
- 0:51Speaker 1: could do.
- 0:52Speaker 3: We practiced a little bit yesterday and we were very
- 0:54Speaker 3: confident with what we did. Our coaches were saying like
- 0:56Speaker 3: that might be a record if you guys can throw that,
- 0:58Speaker 3: and we ended up throwing it. You know, someone said
- 1:00Speaker 3: might have been a record, you know, might not been one,
- 1:02Speaker 3: but we're very proudful what we did.
- 1:03Speaker 4: So when you guys were practicing, were you using a
- 1:05Speaker 4: frozen turkey?
- 1:06Speaker 5: Yeah, we were using a frozen turkey. I think the
- 1:08Speaker 5: one we were using was a little bit heavier than
- 1:10Speaker 5: the one we ended up using today, So make a
- 1:13Speaker 5: good move it. Also, it might have might have scared
- 1:17Speaker 5: scared us a little bit. You know, it hit like
- 1:19Speaker 5: a truck. So it was good to practice with it though,
- 1:21Speaker 5: because it made this a lot easier I think.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Now, justin you were on the field when the bird
- 1:25Speaker 1: went in the air when Arlington tossed it. What were
- 1:28Speaker 1: you thinking when that bird went up?
- 1:29Speaker 2: When the bird went into the air, Like, my soul
- 1:32Speaker 2: left my body, like that is this really happening? And
- 1:34Speaker 2: then my second thought was he's no way he's gonna
- 1:36Speaker 2: catch it. And then when he caught it, it was
- 1:38Speaker 2: just complete pandemonium. I couldn't believe it. Record, it's a record.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Yeah. It kind of had the feel of game over
- 1:46Speaker 1: right guys. Yeah, Oh did they not have a mic
- 1:49Speaker 1: now or what.
- 1:50Speaker 2: The manager grabbed a microd need the word.
- 1:53Speaker 1: He's taking charge the team man. Actually, this is a
- 1:57Speaker 1: cool story because is it already forced yea, now going
- 2:01Speaker 1: into turkey jars that you were the team manager, but
- 2:03Speaker 1: you were originally supposed to be the receiver.
- 2:06Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, yesterday I was practicing. Brady was throwing an
- 2:10Speaker 6: absolute bomb to me with that heavy turkey, and I
- 2:13Speaker 6: got the first one I caught, fine, didn't hurt at all.
- 2:16Speaker 2: But the second one I got under it and it.
- 2:19Speaker 6: Like popped up when I fell back with it, and
- 2:21Speaker 6: it hit my like chin and my and I felt
- 2:25Speaker 6: like I broke my jaw and it like my ear
- 2:27Speaker 6: started hurting and everything, and I'm like, I called Drew
- 2:30Speaker 6: Beck up that night.
- 2:31Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, you might have to step up.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Wow, my jaw is not. They have to bring you

- 2:40Speaker 1: They were escorting them now into the uh tent. So, uh, Brady,
- 2:45Speaker 1: what were you thinking when the bird left your hands?
- 2:48Speaker 3: I was so confident I wanted not to turn around
- 2:50Speaker 3: and just let it sail, but you know, I was
- 2:52Speaker 3: confident I need to see my guy catch it, so
- 2:54Speaker 3: you know, I turned around and I was like, oh,
- 2:55Speaker 3: it's over. I saw him back pedal and I was like, oh,

- 15:28Speaker 10: play the Bluebird Cafe with him in Nashville, and I

- 18:06Speaker 11: Billy and Lisa, because I've never seen power like this.
- 18:09Speaker 11: I I I really thought you guys were maybe losing
- 18:12Speaker 11: a little bit of your touch.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Why would you think that, well, because I was.
- 18:15Speaker 11: I wasn't sure. I you know, I came on yesterday
- 18:17Speaker 11: and I had asked it to test it.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Let's back off the Billy. Let's explain to this I was.
- 18:23Speaker 2: I got it. I will explain, and that is I
- 18:26Speaker 2: came a couple of weeks ago.
- 18:28Speaker 11: For weeks, I've been seeing Billy in the hallways and
- 18:31Speaker 11: I've been saying, you're just not.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Who you used to be. You're the restaurant guy, right. Well, Hey,
- 18:36Speaker 2: I need this favor.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I need you to hit somebody up at.
- 18:39Speaker 11: The Venetian in Weymouth. And I need to add I
- 18:41Speaker 11: got the resie. I need to add two people. I've
- 18:44Speaker 11: been saying it for weeks to no avail. I'm getting
- 18:47Speaker 11: nothing A lot of nothing this So I thought to myself,
- 18:49Speaker 11: maybe the people were right about you. Maybe you are
- 18:51Speaker 11: losing your touch.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Well, you have to understand, this is a big program.
- 18:54Speaker 1: So we have what you want to schedule, so when
- 18:56Speaker 1: you bring something to us, we can't.
- 18:59Speaker 2: There was finally an opening.
- 19:00Speaker 1: There's a lot going on, but we've got we had
- 19:01Speaker 1: an opening, right.
- 19:02Speaker 11: Yeah, you gave me, You gave me the opening.
- 19:04Speaker 1: You called me.
- 19:05Speaker 11: I was hungover yesterday driving back from from Stevie Nicks
- 19:08Speaker 11: and we had a little convo about it. And I
- 19:11Speaker 11: would like to tell everybody from Kiss Went Away that
- 19:14Speaker 11: we weren't even finished with the conversation and the Venetian
- 19:18Speaker 11: was calling me. They were dming me, they were apologizing
- 19:21Speaker 11: for the leaving me on red and I would like to.
- 19:24Speaker 7: Full on admit that Billy and Lisa still got it.
- 19:27Speaker 1: So the Venetian in Weymouth is a famous restaurant, especially
- 19:31Speaker 1: around the holidays, because they decorate for Christmas in the
- 19:34Speaker 1: holidays like nobody else.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:35Speaker 11: I don't know what they're given out there for Christmas.
- 19:37Speaker 11: I mean the decorations are nice. Maybe they're I don't know.
- 19:40Speaker 11: I don't know what's going on, but it is impossible
- 19:42Speaker 11: to get a reservation impossible.
- 19:44Speaker 1: So you got a reservation for two, and when you
- 19:47Speaker 1: came to me and Lisa, you needed to up it
- 19:49Speaker 1: to four. You had tried multiple times, nobody was getting
- 19:52Speaker 1: back to you.
- 19:52Speaker 2: I guess they don't trus Jim.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Well, there's that, but they're also very busy at the
- 19:58Speaker 1: Venetian this time of the year. So Lisa and I
- 20:01Speaker 1: went on and made a very brief mention, and within
- 20:05Speaker 1: about two minutes, Lisa, you were getting DM.
- 20:07Speaker 7: My phone was blowing up.
- 20:09Speaker 4: The owner people that work there all saying that they
- 20:12Speaker 4: will help Ashley.
- 20:13Speaker 7: Yeah, that is so sweet.
- 20:14Speaker 11: They clearly did not listen to hip hop music, but
- 20:18Speaker 11: I'm very grateful that they listened to kiss because now
- 20:20Speaker 11: I've never seen anything. I literally didn't even finish the
- 20:24Speaker 11: conversation with you, and the DM had already come through
- 20:27Speaker 11: and they titled it get Ashley the Reservation for four.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:31Speaker 1: I think we actually have the restaurant on the phone,
- 20:33Speaker 1: and that would be Eric. Eric. Good morning, good morning,
- 20:37Speaker 1: good morning everybody. So Erica, you the general manager, the

- 21:07Speaker 11: restaurant and we appreciate it right right right listen, I am.
- 21:12Speaker 11: I it was all about me just trying to tell
- 21:16Speaker 11: Billy that he didn't have the pool that he used
- 21:18Speaker 11: to and billian le so they definitely still got it.
- 21:20Speaker 1: But you still choose me of not having pool because we.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Know it's done.
- 21:25Speaker 1: I know you need to lose the attitude. You got
- 21:27Speaker 1: the extra two seats, I know.
- 21:29Speaker 2: I am, and I'm very appreciative. I can't wait.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Eric, I got to ask you, when did the decoration
- 21:34Speaker 1: thing at the Venetian? When did that start?
- 21:36Speaker 2: For you?
- 21:36Speaker 1: Guys?
- 21:38Speaker 13: We started it three years ago actually, wow?

- 21:55Speaker 1: Wow.
- 21:56Speaker 13: We've always had people that have said, hey, do a
- 21:59Speaker 13: year round, but for us it's not as special.
- 22:02Speaker 2: But the demand the last.
- 22:04Speaker 13: Year was so incredible that we thought for this year,
- 22:08Speaker 13: for this summer season, that we're here summer season. I'm
- 22:10Speaker 13: sorry for this Christmas season that we actually did at
- 22:13Speaker 13: October first, and we went live with the reservations on
- 22:17Speaker 13: August first, and so there were a lot of people
- 22:20Speaker 13: that were just you know, they put their timers on,
- 22:22Speaker 13: they put their notifications on, and within ten minutes on
- 22:26Speaker 13: August first, I believe we had about ten thousand reservations
- 22:29Speaker 13: already made. And we'll do about fifty thousand people literally
- 22:33Speaker 13: in the holiday season.
- 22:34Speaker 2: So it is.
- 22:35Speaker 1: It is crazy, crazy fifty thousand people. And Ashley, you
- 22:39Speaker 1: were worried about yourself.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Count count me in is one for sure.
- 22:43Speaker 7: Listen the amount of espresso Martinez I'm going to drink
- 22:46Speaker 7: at your restaurant.
- 22:46Speaker 1: It'll be all worth it in the end, he Eric.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I would just double the price just for her tab. Yeah,
- 22:52Speaker 1: like if the drink is twenty dollars, maybe forty. Because
- 22:55Speaker 1: she feels so guilty right now, we have to cut
- 22:57Speaker 1: her off. Lisa, you've been there, haven't you.
- 23:00Speaker 4: I've never actually I've driven past there, but I've never
- 23:03Speaker 4: been able to get a reservation. But now that we
- 23:05Speaker 4: know Eric, you're in Maybe next year I'll be there.

- 28:25Speaker 2: basically from Medford to East Boston. Oh yeah, never seen it.
- 28:29Speaker 2: It was crazy. I have the moment they had the
- 28:31Speaker 2: toss and I remember it's complete pandemonium here. I mean
- 28:34Speaker 2: the place went bonkers. Yeah, he caught the turkey. It
- 28:46Speaker 2: was the longest I've ever seen. But there was controversy. Yes,
- 28:49Speaker 2: it was because he may or may not have been
- 28:51Speaker 2: in the line that the tosser, so we had to
- 28:53Speaker 2: check the tape on that. But right after them, Everett
- 28:55Speaker 2: went they last like they always do and completely flubbed. Yeah,
- 28:59Speaker 2: completely flubbed.
- 29:00Speaker 1: The bird hit the.
- 29:01Speaker 7: Dirt, but they it was like an incomplete pass.
- 29:03Speaker 2: It was. It was one of the worst throws of
- 29:05Speaker 2: the morning. He missed his target. Yeah, so we had
- 29:07Speaker 2: to review the tape before we announced the winner, and
- 29:09Speaker 2: that winner, ear yes was Arlington.
- 29:11Speaker 1: They have checked the tape and although his heels were
- 29:16Speaker 1: on the line, they were not over the line, which
- 29:19Speaker 1: means we have a need tough chick.
- 29:29Speaker 11: High.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Yeah, complete chaos there. I mean Everett was stunned. I
- 29:35Speaker 2: mean they were speechless there and Arlington just went nuts.
- 29:38Speaker 11: Oh.
- 29:38Speaker 1: We love Everett and they have won several years and
- 29:41Speaker 1: they really work it hard. But you know, things happen

- 29:54Speaker 11: Lock.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Yeah right, they certainly did.
- 29:55Speaker 1: They had everybody else rehearse in practicing it now.
- 29:58Speaker 2: The thrower for evertt, I believe his name was Gaetano.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Is he walking around with his head down in shame
- 30:04Speaker 2: this morning at school? The poor kid. It's a tough
- 30:06Speaker 2: break at things.
- 30:07Speaker 1: It's tough.
- 30:08Speaker 2: It's tough, but there's always next year. But how about
- 30:10Speaker 2: this part of the story with Arlington. So they originally
- 30:14Speaker 2: had Brady and Orri where the tosser and the catcher.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Ori got injured during tryouts when they were practicing the
- 30:22Speaker 2: other day, almost broke his jaw.
- 30:24Speaker 6: Yesterday, I was practicing, Brady was throwing an absolute bomb
