  Speaker 1: Now, best morning show in Boston. Billy and Lisa in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the morning.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: It's just a great start to my day.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: On Kiss 108.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: I can hear you.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: The rest of the world hears you.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: And the people who.
• 0:18
  Speaker 5: Knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
• 0:23
  Speaker 6: Okay, good morning, everybody. Welcome into the Billy and Lisa
• 0:25
  Speaker 6: morning show. That was 25... years ago, the terrorist attacks
• 0:30
  Speaker 6: took out the trade towers. As many as four planes
• 0:33
  Speaker 6: were hijacked. Keep in mind, two of those planes hijacked
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: came out of Boston Logan. So we as locals here
• 0:40
  Speaker 6: in Boston are very connected to the 25 years ago
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: and what happened. They took out the towers. Another plane
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: landed in Shanksfield in a field in Pennsylvania. Another one
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: landed and did incredible damage, killed some people at the Pentagon.
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: And it's just one of those days on the morning show,
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: we really don't know how to handle it. I mean,
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: we're here in the morning every day to provide an
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: escape for people to get through their morning. I mean,
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: they're loading up the cars, they're getting the kids ready
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: for school, they're putting their lunches together. They're dealing with
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: getting ready to go to the office, to go to
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: work and do whatever they do in the course of
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: a day. And we try to do our best to
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: make people laugh every morning when things like this come up,
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: as it did when we were live on the radio
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: 25 years ago.
• 1:25
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: You really don't know what to do. What we did,
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: we were live. I actually had to go on the
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: air and say the words, America is under attack.
• 1:34
  Speaker 8: 9-11-2001, I was driving my 18-month-old to a doctor's appointment
• 1:40
  Speaker 8: and listening to Matt and Billy on the radio. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 8: I remember Billy saying how we're under attack. And it
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: was so scary. And I remember them saying, go home
• 1:50
  Speaker 8: and hug your loved ones at night. Everyone just clung
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: to each other. And in my case, I had another
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: baby in June of 2002, nine months later.
• 1:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: To this day, 25 years later, it's hard for me
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: to say those words.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that story from people that I've met
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of you saying those words. And I think from this
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: show's perspective, it's different. We all kind of come at
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it from a different angle. You were on the air.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Lisa was in New York.
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: In New York when it all came down.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And then I joined the show a year later.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: So what are your thoughts on a day like this,
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: remembering back to being in New York City and not
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: knowing what the hell was going on or what to
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: do or where to go?
• 2:29
  Speaker 11: Well, you felt like you were under attack. It was
• 2:32
  Speaker 11: something that is imprinted on my brain. I will never forget.
• 2:35
  Speaker 11: It was like it happened yesterday.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: But I knew being in New York.
• 2:41
  Speaker 11: And two planes coming from Boston, I knew that we.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Would all be touched.
• 2:47
  Speaker 11: We would all know someone. And it turns out that
• 2:51
  Speaker 11: I did. It turns out that one of my best
• 2:53
  Speaker 11: friends from college at Emerson, her mother was on flight 11.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: She's going to join us on the show at 810.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: She has an amazing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 11: Story to share about something that they found that belonged
• 3:05
  Speaker 11: to her mother that was given back to the family
• 3:08
  Speaker 11: a year later. And it's really shaped the way that
• 3:11
  Speaker 11: she's lived her life over the past 25 years.
• 3:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: And we're going to do our best to balance this
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: morning on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show. Obviously, we'll
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: be touching. There are services and memorials going on all
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: over the country, a lot of them right here in Boston.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: There'll be one at Logan Airport this year as well. Obviously,
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: in New York City. Obviously, in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. People remember us.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: The key, though, is a lot of people don't.
• 3:35
  Speaker 11: Well, I read that 100 million Americans were either born
• 3:39
  Speaker 11: after the attacks or too young to remember them.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Like when I say all angles, Billy was on the air.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Lisa was in New York. I was a teenager. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: was right down the street in Malden. And producer Riley
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't even born yet.
• 3:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: How old were you when you were one? Yeah, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: was one.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And it's crazy because like.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I've never lived in a world without TSA. I grew
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: up remembering and having such a heavy heart for what happened,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: but I don't feel like it, sits on my chest
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the way it does for like you guys. So it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: crazy the different experiences.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: It changed the world forever.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: But I'm sure that when you got to school, they
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: probably talked about it like once a year or something
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: in the classrooms, right? Oh, for sure.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: It's like part of the history lesson that you learn
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: every year.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Which is a good point because we want to let
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: know teachers are probably having a tough time this morning
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: as they get ready for their job. And when they
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: get to school, they're probably going to have to talk
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: to the kids about 9-11 and what it was and
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: what it means even in today. So If you're out
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: there and you're listening, and I know we have a
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: lot of teachers that listen, and you want to say something,
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: you want to remember 9-11, you want to tell us
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: how it is you're going to talk to the children
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: in the classrooms today, please send us talkbacks. You can
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: start doing that now as you get ready or as
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: you're driving to school. We want to hear everybody's perspective.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: And don't forget, we also have a lot of nurses
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: that listen to this show every morning, and they may
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: have some stories to tell. Anybody that has stories to
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: tell or something they really feel they want to say
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: about 9-11 on this day 25 years later, feel free
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: to use the show. Use our talkbacks. How do they
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: do that if they're new to the show?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, we will open the show up
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to all of you at 730 this morning. And how
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to leave a talkback with your perspective, with your memory,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: is on the iHeartRadio app. You can download it, or
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: if you already have it on your phone, you listen
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to us on KISS, and there's a red microphone that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you press, and you can record it right in. So
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: 730 for that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios, we're.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back, everybody.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: Happy Friday to everybody. Not a very happy Friday. It's
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: a very solemn Friday, 25 years since the 9-11 attacks.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: And we will be talking about it and addressing it
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: throughout the morning.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It's a point of reflection for people.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And however you want to reflect on it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: In fact, coming up at 730 this morning, we're going
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: to take your talkbacks. We're going to take your phone calls, everything,
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: anybody who has anything they want to say. about 9-11, remembrances,
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: how you've dealt with it since, whatever, how you deal
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: with your children, teachers listening, how they're going to be
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: talking to the kids today and what today means.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Even younger people that weren't born. Exactly. Who were very young,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like Producer Riley. You know, what's their perspective?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Well, my children, I mean, obviously.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Max and Riley.
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, so we'll definitely tackle it at 7.30 this morning
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: and welcome your talkbacks and your phone calls and everything.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: But like we have to do on the Billy and
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Lisa Morning Show, we try to balance on a solemn
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: day like today. For instance, we're about to shift gears
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: about as big as we possibly can.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. But staying very local.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: We're going from 9-11 and now we're going to a
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: huge local eating competition that Justin is just jumping out
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: of his sneakers about because it's local. It's happening at
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Game On in Boston tomorrow at one o'clock. Some of
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: the world's greatest competitive eaters are going to be in town.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: And we've got Peter, the head of Okay, Major League Eating. Now, Peter,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: that's an actual organization?
• 7:04
  Speaker 12: Oh, completely. I mean, you have Major League Baseball, National
• 7:08
  Speaker 12: Hockey League, and you have MLE, Major League Eating.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So, of course it is.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Now, Peter, a personal question. Do you actually have a
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: business card that says your name and then the president
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: of Major League Eating?
• 7:19
  Speaker 13: No.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So, no, I don't.
• 7:21
  Speaker 12: So here's what I am. I would say I'm more
• 7:23
  Speaker 12: like the Don King of Burger King. I am a
• 7:26
  Speaker 12: promoter in my spare time because I happen to have
• 7:31
  Speaker 12: been at the table back in the day and retired
• 7:34
  Speaker 12: professional eater. Uh, so like, I am just still hooked
• 7:37
  Speaker 12: on the sport. I understand that it's probably the best
• 7:40
  Speaker 12: way to elevate your brand is to bring in our
• 7:43
  Speaker 12: professional eaters to your restaurant or whatever, and just, you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 12: put on the show.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You were a competitive eater at one point.
• 7:51
  Speaker 12: I was, and I wanted to come out of retirement, Lisa,
• 7:53
  Speaker 12: but my nickname was Pete Pretty Boy DeVecos, and now
• 7:56
  Speaker 12: I would probably be Pete Dad Bod DeVecos.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that should be a sale, Pete.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, now there are only pictures of Pretty Boy Pete.
• 8:03
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's like a Sasquatch. I do exist.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Okay, so what is the name of the event, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: what is it involved tomorrow?
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: So tomorrow's the North Shore Beefs three-way slider world championship.
• 8:17
  Speaker 12: And it's being put on by Andy Ferg, who is
• 8:21
  Speaker 12: the social media guru, almost the David Portnoy of pizza,
• 8:25
  Speaker 12: but for roast beefs. And he is the one who
• 8:27
  Speaker 12: is the brainchild of putting this together.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Okay. So we should explain what a roast beef three-way
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: is for those that might not know who are not
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: from the North Shore.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: And you're the one to explain it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Well, a roast beef sandwich three-way is sauce, cheese, and mayo.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: So typically I get it on an onion roll, which
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: is very big, but I believe Peter, these are sliders.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So they're smaller three ways, right?
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:48
  Speaker 12: So we crafted a complete onion roll bun. So it's
• 8:50
  Speaker 12: a mini version of the actual beef that we would
• 8:54
  Speaker 12: all typically eat at a restaurant.
• 8:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And do they, is this like a timed thing tomorrow?
• 9:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so it's going to be a 10-minute all-you-can-eat. We
• 9:03
  Speaker 12: have the chef at Game On cooking up about 400
• 9:08
  Speaker 12: to 450 roast beef three ways. They're going to be
• 9:12
  Speaker 12: two ounces of beef, cheese sauce, mayo, James River barbecue sauce,
• 9:16
  Speaker 12: and we think Pat Bertoletti is going to come in
• 9:19
  Speaker 12: and probably win with 40 to 50 of these. Oh,
• 9:22
  Speaker 12: my gosh.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking between the sauce, the cheese, and the mayo,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: those bad boys just slide right down, right?
• 9:30
  Speaker 12: Well, you know what, Billy? I will say that we
• 9:32
  Speaker 12: have an undercard event, which wasn't publicized as much. We
• 9:35
  Speaker 12: have Eric Badlands Chugs Booker coming up, and he's a
• 9:40
  Speaker 12: great friend of mine, a mountain of a man. He's
• 9:42
  Speaker 12: going to chug a half a gallon of James River
• 9:44
  Speaker 12: barbecue sauce out of a daft booth.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry. Hold that. Could you repeat what Chubby's going
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: to do? Bad boy Chubby.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: How you doing, Chubby?
• 9:55
  Speaker 12: Adler's Chugs is going to chug a half gallon of
• 9:59
  Speaker 12: barbecue sauce as our undercard. Right before the main event.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Is this something he's done before?
• 10:05
  Speaker 12: So he is the chugging champion of the world. He
• 10:07
  Speaker 12: has traveled the globe. And we just so happen to
• 10:11
  Speaker 12: have an opportunity for him to come in. And he is...
• 10:14
  Speaker 12: a beloved human being, and he's just going to do this.
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: This is what he does. He chugs the world one
• 10:19
  Speaker 12: drink at a time.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God. And now, if you don't mind my asking, Pete,
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: I know you've grown in size yourself. How big is
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Badlands Chubber?
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: So he's been working out. I think he might be
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: slightly under– 350. He's a big boy.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Pretty big. Yeah.
• 10:40
  Speaker 12: So, you know, you have to muscle tone.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Can people see all of this go down tomorrow? Like,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: how can they get the game on?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Can they enter?
• 10:49
  Speaker 12: So, yeah, no ages. So it's under 21. It's right
• 10:52
  Speaker 12: before the game. So just walk right in. We're going
• 10:55
  Speaker 12: to have a podcast going out front. We're going to have.
• 10:59
  Speaker 12: all the eaters kind of walking around, hanging out. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 12: then you go downstairs and we have almost like a
• 11:03
  Speaker 12: mini green monster. And it's just going to be, you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 12: 10 of the greatest world eaters going to be down
• 11:08
  Speaker 12: there slugging away and trying to like take the new
• 11:11
  Speaker 12: world record.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Is it too late for us to enter, Justin? Because
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: it's going to be your cheat day anyway, Justin. You
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: can knock down a bunch of these bad boys.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I would love to go, but I cannot go. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: have something.
• 11:21
  Speaker 11: Wait, I have to tell Pete that we had Crazy
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: Legs Conti, who's a very famous competitive eater from Belmont.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And Justin just.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I put him to bed.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Put him to bed.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Live on the air.
• 11:33
  Speaker 12: Lisa, I'm telling you, Justin was secretly texting me last
• 11:36
  Speaker 12: night asking to get into the competition, and I can
• 11:39
  Speaker 12: get him in. So he's not telling you the truth
• 11:41
  Speaker 12: right now. He could be there. How many grams of
• 11:43
  Speaker 12: protein are in each one of these sliders, Justin? The
• 11:46
  Speaker 12: muscle mass.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: It doesn't matter to Justin. If it's a cheat day,
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: he's not counting anything. He's just dialing those bad boys.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But Pete, wait, 40 to 50 of these two-ounce sliders,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: what would you, like, How would you compare that to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: a super beef? How many super beefs? Because that's what
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: most people get. What would you think that is?
• 12:02
  Speaker 12: I would say for each slider, it's a super beef.
• 12:04
  Speaker 12: For each four sliders will equal one super beef. So
• 12:07
  Speaker 12: if he's going to put down 40 to 50, he's
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: going to probably eat five of those giant mammoth.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Which you could eat, Justin.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I could put down.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is something.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, OK.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: So it's a one o'clock start tomorrow at Game On,
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: which is right next to Fenway Park. And you do
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: the event and then you go in for the Sox
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Royals game. And, Justin, we know that everybody going at
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: 1 o'clock tomorrow is going to have one question for Pete. Hey,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: where's the beef? Yeah, I know, Pete. You're saying to yourself,
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: where the hell did they dig that up? Yeah, I know.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Well, Bill, you should bring your TV crew. You could
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: cover the event.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: We've got details on the beef as well as the
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: best buns.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: Who knows? My TV crew might be there. I just
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: don't know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just don't know. All right, Pete. Well, I'll
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: make an effort to try to come by. I'll try
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to make some plans. But it sounds like a great event.
• 13:03

  Speaker 2: An agenda.
• 15:52

  Speaker 4: And she posted on her Instagram saying, I'll see you

  Speaker 6: Yeehaw! Spice Girls had a big announcement yesterday, but it
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: was not the announcement that fans were expecting. Fans wanted
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: a Spice Girls tour. When are they going to give
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: up on that? That is never happening. It turns out
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: it's just a singles collection, a box set, to mark
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: the 30-year anniversary of their debut album.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a big story because you had the Dunkin'
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: ad with a couple of the Spice Girls, then this
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: big cryptic announcement.
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: Mm-hmm.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: And then it was that. They thought for sure it
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: was something, new music, a tour. They didn't know nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: They had us again thinking, oh, they're going on tour.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: But wasn't there a Spice Girl that was coming into
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: this show this morning?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Sporty Spice, Melanie C, is going to be in Boston
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: at Royale Monday night for a solo show. She was
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: going to come in, but the scheduling did not work out.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: She did apologize to us, but she was going to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: be in the studio.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: So what you're saying is she blew us off. Well, no.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, schedules happen.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: That would have been so cool.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: I know. I wonder if she still wears the sneakers.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: To be in the same room with a Spice Girl?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's so cool. The behind the scenes is it
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: was going to be a surprise for Billy and Lisa.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: We didn't tell them she was coming. So I was
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: going to walk her in while you were live.
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: That would have been the most incredible, like, oh, my God,
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: I can't believe who's here.
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: So what does she have going on in Boston?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: She has a show. She has a solo career, and
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: she has a show Monday night at Royale.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, Royale.

  Speaker 6: to him as he proposed to her.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: You know, then I date Shailene, and I propose, and

  Speaker 9: her a crazy depression because I left her. But the
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: actuality is she told me that. And then she took
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: off the ring by March. So I proposed in December,
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: took out the ring by March. And we had a
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: couple of times where we tried to get reunited and
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: nothing ever happened. And there wasn't even a relationship in
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: 22 to break off. Does anybody believe this?

  Speaker 13: Sorry about that.
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: Let's go, Australia!
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: It didn't look very rehearsed to me. We were watching
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: the video of the halftime special. Everybody was like banging
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: into each other on the field. It looked like they
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: just said, hey, you want to come down the field?
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Come on down the field. Nobody, it wasn't, there was
• 24:02

  Speaker 4: Lisa.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Bill was studying the video up close of Kevin Jonas
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: because his guitar wasn't plugged in. But then he was
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: looking for an antenna.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Nothing.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: That was sticking out.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Nothing.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: He had me put it in slow motion.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: I'm sticking with this. I'm telling you, he has never
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: played a lick on the guitar.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: They just put him up there. He's one of the brothers.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: I kept looking for some sort of an antenna sticking
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: off the guitar because it's remote. Clearly, it wasn't plugged in. Nothing.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: It looks like he's playing.

  Speaker 5: Yeah.

  Speaker 1: Well, yeah. That was an angry album. I mean, it
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: was just an observation.

• 26:28
  Speaker 6: the trade towers, the Pentagon, another hijacked plane crashing in
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: a field in Pennsylvania. Thousands of people killed. Bottom line, 9, 11,
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: 25 years ago. changed the world. And let's go back
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: 25 years ago as it all started to take shape
• 26:48

• 26:51
  Speaker 6: on NBC.
• 26:52
  Speaker 16: We have a breaking news story to tell you about. Apparently,
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: a plane has just crashed into the World Trade Center
• 26:58
  Speaker 16: here in New York City. It happened just a few
• 27:01
  Speaker 16: moments ago. Apparently, we have very little information available. At
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: this point in time, but on the phone, we do
• 27:07
  Speaker 16: have Jennifer Oberstein, who apparently witnessed this event.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Jennifer, can you hear me?
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: Hello?
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Hi, Jennifer.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Hi, Katie.
• 27:15
  Speaker 16: Hi, can you please tell me what you saw and
• 27:17
  Speaker 16: give me any information about what's going on there?
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: Yes, I have to tell you, it's quite terrifying.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I'm in shock right now.
• 27:24
  Speaker 14: I came out of the subway at Bowling Green. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 14: was heading to work in Battery Park at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel,
• 27:29
  Speaker 14: and I come out. And I heard a boom woke
• 27:34
  Speaker 14: up and there was a big ball of fire.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I'm now looking north at the World Trade Center.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: And it is the left Twin Towers. I'm looking north.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: I'm in Battery Park right now.
• 27:42
  Speaker 14: And you can hear the fire engines and the emergency
• 27:45
  Speaker 14: crews behind me.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Got to have chills all over my body.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: My entire body right now is in chill.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I was there. I was in New York.
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: I was in PR at the time. I was there
• 27:56
  Speaker 11: for Fashion Week. Fashion Week was going on. And I
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: remember I was living with my I was staying with
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: my sister who was doing an internship at a hospital
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: on the Lower East Side. And she called me and
• 28:07
  Speaker 11: she was no, I was supposed to go to the
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: airport to fly back to Boston. And she said, you
• 28:10
  Speaker 11: need to turn the TV on. I really don't think
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: you're going anywhere this morning.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: So you were in your hotel room at the time? Yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: we were.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I was in her apartment next to the hospital.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And remember, this all happened. It was very early Internet.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: So a lot of the reports were all over the
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: radio at the time. This just into our newsroom. A
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: plane has crashed into the World Trade Center. Another plane
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: just hit the World Trade Center.
• 28:35
  Speaker 16: Two planes have smashed into the towers minutes apart.
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: This plane flew directly into the second World Trade Center.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: It was all over. I mean, everywhere. But yeah, again,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: it was early Internet. So everybody was tuned into the radio,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: TV or radio. That was it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: Matt Siegel and I were live on Kiss 108 that
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: morning as the first plane actually hit the tower in
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: New York. And we stayed on the air live for
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: eight or nine hours just to let people talk about
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: it and express themselves. It was it was a crazy day.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Hi, guys.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to say I know everyone never forgets
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: where they were when they first landed. heard the news
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: of 9-11. And I always think I was with you
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: guys listening to Kiss 108 in my car. And I
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: just could tell right away that something unprecedented was happening
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: by the way your voices were, Billy, and then, of course, Maddie.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: So thanks, guys, for being there for me that day.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: And let's not forget, hours after the attacks, the president
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: then President Bush, spoke to America.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: their offices. secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers,
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: moms and dads, friends and neighbors.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: Thousands of lives.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: Were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: And Lisa, you had a really good friend who lost
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: her mom that day, and she's coming on the show
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: this morning.
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: We were college friends at Emerson, our college friends at Emerson,
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: and her mother was on Flight 11.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: The first plane to hit.
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: And she will be joining us at 810 because something
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: really amazing happened to their family a year after the attacks.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And she's going to share that with us.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: And again, we're doing our best this morning is one
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: of those mornings. That's a solemn morning. But we try
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: to be a happy, a funny show. And we're doing
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: our best to kind of switch gears back and forth.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: But we want you to feel listening. We want you
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: to use this show this morning and send us your
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: talk back. Tell us what you remember. what you're thinking,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: what you've experienced since.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this, I mean, look at this show right here.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Billie was on the air. Lisa, you were in New
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: York City. You know, I was a teenager running around
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: down the street in Malden. Producer Riley, you were one
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: years old at that time. So you didn't live through it.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: You were taught it, essentially.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: It's like something that we would learn about in school.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: And I have such like a heavy heart just thinking
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: about it. And it's not even something that I truly experienced.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: So I can't even imagine- Everybody like you guys who
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: lived through it truly.
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: Well, over 100 million Americans are in that same category.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: They weren't alive or they were so young they don't
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: remember it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: But I think what President Bush said about the way
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: that we lived and our freedom were that it changed forever.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: Forever.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Like forever.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: Well, Riley mentioned it earlier. She never knew a life.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: Without TSA.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 31:50
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: It's like in movies when you see people just coming
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: up to like the airport. I'm like, that'll never I'll
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: never experience that. I'm always like, how did they get
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: through there?
• 31:58
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: But that's life now.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: For that generation, it's up to parents and teachers. to
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: teach the kids about that day.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: I teach high school history, and one of the difficult
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: things when it comes to teaching 9-11 is that we're
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: teaching kids who they feel that it's so far removed,
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: and it's no different than learning about Pearl Harbor. So
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: for me, I try to really get them to understand
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: that they're.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Exactly. That's the other part of it. The bravery and resilience,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the unity after the attacks, you know, the country coming
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: together as a whole.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. Not to mention first responders who were running into
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: those buildings and climbing the stairs. And a lot of
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: them never came out, never came out. But again, send
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: us your talkbacks. We want to use your voices. Tell
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: us what you think, what you're remembering. That's what we're
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: here for this morning. The Billy and Lisa Show, more
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: than ever this morning, welcomes your talkbacks and your phone calls. 877-617-1108,
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: the number to call. Justin, one more time, how do
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: they send that talkback right now?
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: On the iHeartRadio app, if you are streaming us on
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the app, hit that red microphone and send your message in.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: We would love, love to hear from you.
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: As a nurse who was working in a hospital at
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: the time of the attacks, It was unsettling because you
• 33:20
  Speaker 14: didn't know if you were safe at work. As far
• 33:23
  Speaker 14: as many other big buildings in general, you didn't know
• 33:26
  Speaker 14: what the targets really were. So how scary it was,
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: but working in a hospital, you just couldn't believe your patients.
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: Definitely a difficult time.
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: Billy and Lisa.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Topic Time presented by Ketcher's Law Group, the personal injury

• 33:49
  Speaker 6: consult at Ketcher'sLaw.com. 25 years since 9-11. We're talking about it.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: We're trying to balance and shift gears on and off
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: between 9-11, the solemnness of the day, as well as
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: trying to do some of what we do on a
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: daily basis. One thought I always have, and Lisa, you
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: must have felt it big time because you were in
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: New York City when the planes hit. You had no
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: idea what was going on. You didn't know where to go,
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: what to do. And that still shocks me because I
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: remember the feeling of thinking, Was that it? Or is
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: another shoe going to fall? Is there more coming? Is
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: there more coming? And if so, where and how? And
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: in New York, if I'm in New York City, I'm thinking, oh,
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: my God, where do I go? You got on a
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: subway eventually days later.
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: Well, we were we were stuck there. I couldn't get
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: back to Boston for days. And then I finally went
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: on a train going to Vermont and got off in Hartford.
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: And there was a bomb scare when we got off
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: the plane, the train. It was just it just it
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: was it was a horrific time.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Well, think about, you know, being here in Boston, you know,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: being full of fear when the attacks happened, but then
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: being in New York. Yeah. I mean, a whole nother level. Yeah.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: Just incredible. Changed the world forever.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And Bill, you being on the air, you and Matt
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: staying on. I mean, that that is imprinted in so
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: many people's minds. Their memory is listening to the radio
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: during that time.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: All we did that morning was the best we could do. Again,
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: it was a long time before we knew what was
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: going on after the first plane hit the tower. It's like,
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: what's going on? Nobody was saying it was a terrorist
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: attack until the second plane hit. Right. And that's when everybody,
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: even the news on TV, on the radio, they were saying, oh,
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: this is definitely terrorism. Yeah.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: And here you are, 25 years later.
• 35:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Still on the air. Look at you.
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: Billy, on the morning of 9-11, I was one of
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: the people listening to you and Maddie. And I was
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: home with my 15-month-old son when the attacks happened.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: And....
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: I had the radio on simultaneously watching what I was
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: seeing before my eyes on TV. And hearing you and
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: Maddie gave me solace and peace. It was something that
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: was comforting to me.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I have probably about a hundred or more of these
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: same messages here, these telepacks. So definitely is something people
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: will never forget.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: That's probably why we stayed on the air so long.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, eight, nine hours.
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: Also, the two planes came from Boston. a lot of
• 36:17
  Speaker 11: our families were affected. A lot of our friends were
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: affected and you guys knew that, right?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Once we heard, wait, wait a minute, four planes, two
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: of them left Boston Logan.
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: You know, and then, you know, you think about the victims,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: you think about the heroes, you know, the firefighters that
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: ran in.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: Like those acts of complete selflessness to help other people,
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: to help strangers, um, It was so impactful.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: It's a good day to think about first responders.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Wells Crowther.
• 36:47
  Speaker 10: Of all kinds.
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, at BC.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: The man in the red bandana.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: They always have the football game, and it's today.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: And he got the Presidential Medal of Freedom this past
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: week in Washington from the president.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he saved up to 18 people's lives. He just
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: kept running back up the stairs.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: Three times. Back into a burning building.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: And a building about to collapse.
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: Yep.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: In the entertainment world, Pete Davidson's father.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: You know, there's this really eerie shot of the fire
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: truck that his father was on racing to the tower.
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: You know, I was only six years old.
• 37:19
  Speaker 13: And so when it happened, I remember having to leave
• 37:23
  Speaker 13: school early. But I also remember like when you were
• 37:27
  Speaker 13: a kid and you left school early, it was fun.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: It was happy. But if this was I felt it
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: felt different.
• 37:33
  Speaker 13: I remember feeling like this is not a good thing
• 37:36
  Speaker 13: and I don't know what's happening, but.
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: I'm leaving school early and I don't know why.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: And that's a big job for teachers today with kids
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: arriving in classrooms. They do have recommendations like they say,
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: gently bring it up, bring the topic up. If the
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: children don't in the classroom and be aware of the
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: age of the child. But they're going to have to
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: address it in some way because kids are going to
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: come into school and say with questions.
• 38:03
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: What?
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: 9-11.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: What is it?
• 38:04
  Speaker 9: What?
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I have not had a conversation with my son yet.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: He is nine years old. Yeah. So I'm curious to
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: see how they're going to present it in school today.
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: And like maybe start by saying, what do you know
• 38:14

  Speaker 6: cars were coming in left and right with people that

  Speaker 6: needed treatment immediately.
• 40:11
  Speaker 11: I have to say, though, I was at a hospital.
• 40:13
  Speaker 11: I was at New York Eye and Ear because that's
• 40:15
  Speaker 11: where my sister was doing her residency. And I remember
• 40:17
  Speaker 11: very vividly them bringing out a lot of stretchers and
• 40:20
  Speaker 11: things like waiting for people. And the people that came
• 40:24
  Speaker 11: were the firefighters because they were covered in that soot
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: and their eyes were just like so red.

  Speaker 1: off the air. We just can't play them all on
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the air. It would take too long. We'd have to
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: stay on 12 or 13 hours like like you did
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: pretty much, you know.
