Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: And now we're talking. The Bruno Mars double play is
- 0:02Speaker 1: in full effect. We just had two Bruno Mars songs
- 0:05Speaker 1: in a row, which means we're waiting for caller 25.
- 0:07Speaker 1: And the good news is we don't have to wait
- 0:09Speaker 1: any longer because we have a caller 25.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Lorraine is in Holden. Lorraine, good morning. Lorraine.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Yeah, hello.
- 0:21Speaker 2: You kidding me? Yeah. Oh, my God.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Oh, this is a conundrum.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Yeah, what do we do now?
- 0:29Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a very good question, at least. What do
- 0:31Speaker 2: we do now?
- 0:32Speaker 3: Let's try it again.
- 0:32Speaker 5: Put her on.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Let's see if she's there. Lorraine, hello.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Hello. Lorraine, what the hell?
- 0:39Speaker 6: Hi.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Hello?
- 0:42Speaker 2: Lorraine, hello.
- 0:43Speaker 6: Hello.
- 0:45Speaker 7: Hello?
- 0:46Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Lorraine. Oh, God. You're playing this contest,
- 0:51Speaker 2: the basic. Yeah. The one thing you should at least
- 0:54Speaker 2: know how.
- 0:54Speaker 4: To do is use your phone. She's all the way
- 0:56Speaker 4: out in Holden.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Lorraine.
- 0:57Speaker 6: Hello?
- 0:58Speaker 2: You know what? She's in Holden, and she's holding.
- 1:01Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:02Speaker 7: Literally.
- 1:02Speaker 6: Hello?
- 1:03Speaker 3: I'll give you one more chance. Lorraine, good morning.
- 1:07Speaker 9: Hello?
- 1:08Speaker 5: Oh, God.
- 1:09Speaker 6: Hello?
- 1:09Speaker 2: Hello?
- 1:12Speaker 7: Hello.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Okay, put her on hold. I can't say hello anymore.
- 1:16Speaker 3: We have to.
- 1:17Speaker 2: We need to.
- 1:17Speaker 4: Deal with this behind the scenes.
- 1:20Speaker 5: Well, she's there.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Is the next person up?
- 1:22Speaker 4: I don't think so because she's there. What if we
- 1:25Speaker 4: pick up and.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Well, she's really not there. This is- Okay?
- 1:30Speaker 3: Well, yeah. I mean, someone's there.
- 1:32Speaker 6: Hello?
- 1:33Speaker 2: Wherever she is, she's there. I really don't know what
- 1:37Speaker 2: to do here. But she's not here.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Well, let's put her on hold.
- 1:39Speaker 2: And this is where she needs to be.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Yeah. Hold for a second. Talk amongst yourselves, please.
- 1:43Speaker 2: She's already been holding for 20 minutes. It's like- Imagine this.
- 1:49Speaker 4: I looked up where Holden is. It's near Worcester.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Of course it is.
- 1:52Speaker 1: If you've never been there, it's west of the city,
- 1:55Speaker 1: and it's close to Worcester.
- 1:57Speaker 5: In the Worcester Hills.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Yeah, just go up the pike. You'll find Holden.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Yes.
- 2:01Speaker 2: So here's the deal, okay? People have been waiting days
- 2:04Speaker 2: for this.
- 2:04Speaker 4: They're clamoring for.
- 2:06Speaker 1: These Bruno Mars tickets, okay? It's going to be an
- 2:09Speaker 1: unbelievable show. By the way, Ray is on tour with them,
- 2:13Speaker 1: looking for her husband.
- 2:14Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Maybe he's with Lorraine. We'll have to tell Ray to
- 2:21Speaker 1: swing by Holden. So this is amazing to me.
- 2:25Speaker 2: It's very frustrating.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Because I know people now are very angry. And you
- 2:30Speaker 1: know what happens? They're going to get angry at us.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Well, they shouldn't.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Well, they shouldn't.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Okay, I just talked to Lorraine off the air, and
- 2:36Speaker 3: it's the same thing.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Hello?
- 2:38Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
- 2:39Speaker 5: I gave her.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Multiple chances to say something besides, Hello? What is she,
- 2:42Speaker 3: on a crank.
- 2:43Speaker 5: Phone out there?
- 2:43Speaker 2: It's very weird. Do they not have.
- 2:45Speaker 3: It's very weird.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Cell phones or.
- 2:47Speaker 3: We gave her multiple chances here.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Lorraine reminds me of somebody from the 30s who cranks
- 2:54Speaker 1: the phone.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yeah, Myrtle, can you get me Harry down at the
- 2:56Speaker 2: hardware store?
- 2:58Speaker 1: You know, like this is something from the Andy Griffith show.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Lorraine, what the hell? Well, they don't even have a
- 3:05Speaker 2: traffic light. Yeah.
- 3:07Speaker 5: Okay.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Do we pick the next caller is the question. Yes,
- 3:10Speaker 3: I think.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Because we have to give these tickets away.
- 3:12Speaker 3: We really have to give them. We gave her multiple chances. Oh,
- 3:16Speaker 3: she's gone anyway.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yeah, her phone's not working.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Can we just take the tickets?
- 3:19Speaker 3: We cannot.
- 3:20Speaker 5: All right.
- 3:20Speaker 2: All right, who's next up? Let's go to caller 26.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Hello? Hello? Here we go again. Maybe after all that,
- 3:32Speaker 2: it's our phone.
- 3:33Speaker 5: No, they're there.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Hello? Hey, hello? Oh, God.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Hello. Hello.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I can't do this. We're being pranked. I understand something.
- 3:45Speaker 1: iHeart is the largest media company in the world, and
- 3:49Speaker 1: all we're getting is hello.
- 3:50Speaker 2: We're being punked right now. Yeah, that's what's going on. Yeah. Hello.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Good morning. Something's wrong on your end, I think.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Who's this?
- 4:00Speaker 5: Oh, geez.
- 4:01Speaker 2: What? My daughter was looking forward to this. He's talking
- 4:06Speaker 2: to himself now.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:08Speaker 2: He's very frustrated and he's talking to himself. This is
- 4:11Speaker 2: the weirdest thing that's ever happened to us. Let's go
- 4:13Speaker 2: to the next caller here. Karen in Tewksbury. Karen, are
- 4:17Speaker 2: you there?
- 4:18Speaker 7: Hello.
- 4:19Speaker 1: So it's not on our end.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Karen has a real telephone.
- 4:24Speaker 3: She really does. Good morning, Karen. Welcome to the Billy
- 4:27Speaker 3: and Lisa show.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Stop it.
- 4:30Speaker 8: I am shaking. I'm going to get in a car accident. Okay,
- 4:33Speaker 8: I have to slow down.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Please, please pull over.
- 4:34Speaker 4: You are one lucky lady.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Did you just find us by accident, Karen? Like, do
- 4:39Speaker 2: you even know why you're on the phone?
- 4:42Speaker 8: Listen, I do, because I was talking to my son
- 4:45Speaker 8: about this last week, and he said, can you please
- 4:47Speaker 8: try to win tickets? Go on high-arm radio app. I said, Gaetano,
- 4:51Speaker 8: we can't do it. And I literally just started calling,
- 4:54Speaker 8: and I had this feeling. And when I heard the
- 4:56Speaker 8: other call and non-answer, I go, I'm going to still
- 4:58Speaker 8: keep trying. And I'm freaking out right now.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Can I ask you something? How old is your child?
- 5:06Speaker 5: He is 13.
- 5:06Speaker 8: 13.
- 5:06Speaker 2: And had you do it for him?
- 5:12Speaker 3: Well, he probably doesn't.
- 5:13Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'm not taking him. I'm taking my husband.
- 5:17Speaker 2: There we go.
- 5:17Speaker 5: Let's go.
- 5:17Speaker 6: Let's go.
- 5:17Speaker 2: All right, Karen, listen. God, this is taking forever.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Just get to it, Bill.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Karen, you've got tickets for Bruno Mars out at Gillette Stadium,
- 5:31Speaker 1: but she qualifies for the grand prize. Justin, let her
- 5:33Speaker 1: know what that is or would be.
- 5:34Speaker 3: So you got the tickets, like Billy said, Karen, but
- 5:36Speaker 3: the grand prize, which you are qualified for, you will
- 5:38Speaker 3: get tickets to both shows at Gillette. In the first show,
- 5:41Speaker 3: you'll get upgraded right up front.
- 5:45Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 5:46Speaker 8: I cannot believe this is happening. Thank you so much.
- 5:51Speaker 8: My husband is going to freak out. My son is
- 5:53Speaker 8: going to be so devastated.
- 5:54Speaker 2: But I don't care.
- 5:55Speaker 8: It's date night, baby.
- 5:57Speaker 2: That's right, baby. Just don't hang up, Karen, or you're
- 5:59Speaker 2: not going anywhere.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Wow. Don't forget the Bruno Mars double play continues on.
- 6:05Speaker 3: You want to be listening to Kiss. It could happen
- 6:07Speaker 3: again at any time. Back-to-back Bruno Mars songs. So listen
- 6:11Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app. That's the easy way to do
- 6:13Speaker 3: it so you never miss anything. We've got to play
- 6:15Speaker 3: a song here before we get in trouble.
- 6:16Speaker 6: Hello.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 6:17Speaker 3: No, not that song, producer Riley.

- 6:33Speaker 3: off air because of that Bruno Mars contest a couple
- 6:35Speaker 3: of minutes ago.

- 6:49Speaker 3: this time. There's a Julia Child horror movie on the way.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Is that real or fake, you think?
- 6:56Speaker 2: Oh, ooh, this is scary.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Like the kitchen knives?
- 7:00Speaker 4: Wasn't she a spy?
- 7:02Speaker 2: But then there was the skit on Saturday Night Live
- 7:05Speaker 2: about Julia Child.
- 7:06Speaker 4: All right, why don't we just say this is a
- 7:08Speaker 4: true story?
- 7:09Speaker 2: Okay, it's real, right?
- 7:12Speaker 4: I'm going to say it's real.
- 7:13Speaker 3: You're going real on this?
- 7:14Speaker 7: Yep.
- 7:17Speaker 5: Oh, really?
- 7:18Speaker 3: There is not a Julia Child horror movie on the
- 7:20Speaker 3: way as of yet.
- 7:22Speaker 5: Okay.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Well, how did you make that up?
- 7:24Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so random.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Because I saw her yesterday on the internet.
- 7:27Speaker 2: It made me think about it.
- 7:27Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
- 7:28Speaker 4: That's so random.
- 7:28Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 7:29Speaker 3: I love Julia Child.
- 7:29Speaker 5: Today, we're roasting Miss Chicken.
- 7:34Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 7:37Speaker 2: Bon appetit. All right. That was the skit on Saturday
- 7:40Speaker 2: Night Live.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I know.
- 7:40Speaker 2: I know.
- 7:41Speaker 3: It's funny you brought that up.
- 7:42Speaker 2: All right.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Next headline here. Moms love this initiation ritual freshmen must
- 7:49Speaker 3: go through at a high school. Real or fake?
- 7:56Speaker 2: He's not going to give us two fake ones in
- 7:58Speaker 2: a row.
- 7:58Speaker 4: An initiation ritual at a high school? That doesn't make sense.
- 8:02Speaker 2: And moms love it?
- 8:03Speaker 5: Right.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I know.
- 8:04Speaker 2: You're going to give me the headline now.
- 8:06Speaker 5: You choose.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I'm going to say real.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Going real?
- 8:09Speaker 2: Yes.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Okay.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Lise, you want to follow suit?
- 8:11Speaker 6: Sure. Yes.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Let's go to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Lise, you'll love this one.
- 8:19Speaker 5: All right.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Bishop Kelly High School. Freshmen are welcomed with an awkward
- 8:22Speaker 3: initiation ritual that the parents seem to love. On the
- 8:26Speaker 3: first day of school, seniors crowd the parking lot and
- 8:29Speaker 3: make new students give their mom, dad, or grandparent a
- 8:33Speaker 3: goodbye kiss before heading inside. This thing's blowing up.
- 8:38Speaker 5: We hold the car door, preventing it from opening.
- 8:40Speaker 8: It's like initiation, like we all did it.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Your heart starts thumping out of your chest.
- 8:44Speaker 5: I'm not a very huggy person.
- 8:46Speaker 6: I wouldn't have wanted to kiss my mom as a freshman.
- 8:50Speaker 4: And you know who the happiest people are in this
- 8:52Speaker 4: whole thing?
- 8:52Speaker 8: The mothers.
- 8:53Speaker 7: There's a big moment for them, especially if it's their
- 8:56Speaker 7: first child or their last child.
- 8:58Speaker 5: So emotional.
- 9:00Speaker 3: I was crying yesterday and all morning, and she asked
- 9:02Speaker 3: me not to cry during the drop-off, so I think
- 9:04Speaker 3: I did okay.
- 9:06Speaker 8: The moment you drive off after dropping underscores when it
- 9:09Speaker 8: hits you.
- 9:10Speaker 5: Yes.
- 9:10Speaker 8: He gave me that kiss and I saw him leave
- 9:13Speaker 8: and that meant I have.
- 9:15Speaker 5: To let go.
- 9:16Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so true.
- 9:17Speaker 7: Like the first day of high school and then I
- 9:19Speaker 7: cried the first day of senior year because it was
- 9:23Speaker 7: like Max's, you know, that was it.
- 9:25Speaker 2: So.
- 9:26Speaker 3: I feel like there would be an embarrassment thing there.
- 9:28Speaker 5: Oh, totally.
- 9:29Speaker 4: They do not want to give their mother a kiss.
- 9:31Speaker 2: No, especially a freshman in a new school going in.
- 9:33Speaker 4: They want you to drop them off down the street.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I cried when I dropped my boys at college, but
- 9:39Speaker 2: I waited until I got in the car.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Yeah, me too.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want that.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Total embarrassment. Humiliation.
- 9:44Speaker 3: You don't want that. Well, they're doing things like that
- 9:47Speaker 3: in Oklahoma. Next headline here.
- 9:50Speaker 2: That could be the only thing going on in Oklahoma
- 9:52Speaker 2: right now in Tulsa.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Mom calling contest delights state. fair. Is that real or fake?
- 10:03Speaker 3: A couple of mom stories in the news, possibly today.
- 10:06Speaker 2: I think I may have seen this story.
- 10:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is real.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Going real on this?
- 10:10Speaker 6: 100%.

- 11:36Speaker 9: Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 11:38Speaker 2: It's a very cool event coming up.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Actually, it's going to be the 20th anniversary of Runway
- 11:42Speaker 1: for Recovery. It's happening at the Westin Seaport Hotel, and
- 11:46Speaker 1: its founder, Olivia, is in studio with us right now.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Good to have you.
- 11:51Speaker 5: Thank you for having me. It's so great to be here.
- 11:53Speaker 4: Yes, it's Runway for Recovery, and Olivia.
- 11:56Speaker 7: Made her way here through a mutual friend of ours,
- 11:58Speaker 7: Megan Fitzgerald.
- 11:59Speaker 4: We want to do a shout out to Megan.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Oh, hey, Megan. She used to work here.
- 12:02Speaker 4: She used to work here. Her husband, Matt, still does.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Matt Tilden. Right.
- 12:06Speaker 4: So, and I know you do.
- 12:07Speaker 5: Megan is a legend. A legend. We're obsessed with her
- 12:10Speaker 5: in Newburyport.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Yes.
- 12:11Speaker 2: She's the Pilates legend in Newburyport.
- 12:13Speaker 5: She is the very famous, the set studio. Yes, we
- 12:17Speaker 5: all go.
- 12:17Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 12:17Speaker 4: So she's great.
- 12:18Speaker 7: But she reached out initially and said, I have a
- 12:20Speaker 7: friend who is doing something amazing. She's celebrating 20 years.
- 12:25Speaker 7: of helping women who are suffering with breast cancer or
- 12:29Speaker 7: family members who have had their moms pass away. And
- 12:33Speaker 7: your mother passed away when you were very young.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
- 12:36Speaker 9: So I was 20 when my mom passed away and
- 12:39Speaker 9: she had had metastatic breast cancer for 10 years. It
- 12:43Speaker 9: was a very different time. I always make sure to
- 12:46Speaker 9: include that fact. But she was diagnosed in 1991. She
- 12:49Speaker 9: passed away in 2001 and four years. The 10 years
- 12:52Speaker 9: that she was sick, she kept the diagnosis secret. So we,
- 12:55Speaker 9: as her children, didn't know that she was sick. She
- 12:58Speaker 9: was really focused on us being kids. I'm one of
- 13:02Speaker 9: four and we were very young. And her whole thing
- 13:06Speaker 9: was just about being a mom and making sure that
- 13:08Speaker 9: we had normalcy in our childhood.
- 13:11Speaker 5: So after she passed away.
- 13:13Speaker 9: I waited probably five years and did a lot of
- 13:16Speaker 9: different breast cancer fundraisers and felt like there was going
- 13:18Speaker 9: to be a huge community of kids for whom the
- 13:21Speaker 9: cure did not come.
- 13:21Speaker 5: In time, which was my experience.
- 13:24Speaker 9: And how could I honor her and do something in
- 13:27Speaker 9: her memory and in her legacy? And so the first
- 13:30Speaker 9: runway event was in 2007, 20 years ago.
- 13:33Speaker 1: And you've done such a good job at remembering her
- 13:36Speaker 1: and honoring her because this is a very, very successful event.
- 13:40Speaker 1: It's a fashion show of a different kind. They're not
- 13:43Speaker 1: walking the runway.
- 13:45Speaker 2: They're dancing.
- 13:45Speaker 5: They're really dancing. They're taking it.
- 13:47Speaker 7: As they want to, right? And we have 175 people
- 13:51Speaker 7: walking the runway this year.
- 13:52Speaker 5: We do.
- 13:52Speaker 9: It's our biggest runway show ever. We've had thousands over
- 13:55Speaker 9: the years. We usually have about 100, but because it
- 13:58Speaker 9: was a celebration year, we decided to invite back models
- 14:01Speaker 9: from every year from the last 20 years. And then
- 14:03Speaker 9: we have 50 new models. So everybody's been impacted by
- 14:06Speaker 9: breast cancer in some way. They've either been diagnosed or
- 14:10Speaker 9: they're the child of somebody who's passed away.
- 14:12Speaker 5: And it's a really celebratory evening.
- 14:13Speaker 9: And yes, we say they dance down the runway because
- 14:16Speaker 9: they really rock it. We want the crowds on their
- 14:19Speaker 9: feet and crying and laughing and cheering and clapping the
- 14:22Speaker 9: whole time. But it's supposed to be a celebration and
- 14:25Speaker 9: an evening to find hope. to do and feel something
- 14:29Speaker 9: different than what the rest of breast cancer feels like.
- 14:31Speaker 2: And you've had a lot of celebrities in the show,
- 14:34Speaker 2: so to speak, too.
- 14:35Speaker 4: Especially at your event in New York.
- 14:37Speaker 5: Yes, we expanded to L.A.
- 14:39Speaker 9: And New York about five years ago, and we've had
- 14:41Speaker 9: Hoda and Katie Couric in our show. We've had some
- 14:44Speaker 9: local Boston celebrities, Sarah Underwood up here and Paula Eben.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Paula Eben, Lisa and I work with her every morning
- 14:51Speaker 1: on WBZ.
- 14:52Speaker 5: She is amazing. I mean, I really say this.
- 14:55Speaker 9: I've never had to advertise to find a model in
- 14:57Speaker 9: the last 20 years because we all know somebody who's
- 14:59Speaker 9: been impacted by the disease.
- 15:01Speaker 5: It is impacting one in eight women.
- 15:02Speaker 7: And the list of fashion houses and stores that you're
- 15:08Speaker 7: involved with, right? Like Veronica Beard, who we love, and
- 15:11Speaker 7: Love Shack Fancy, and.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Yes.
- 15:14Speaker 5: And Johnny was and rent the runway.
- 15:17Speaker 9: And then also incredible local stores who have been with
- 15:19Speaker 9: us from the beginning. Crush Boutique, Holiday and Concord that
- 15:23Speaker 9: started in Boston. Sarah Campbell, Jay McLaughlin, Fritz and Gigi,
- 15:27Speaker 9: which dresses our children. These local boutiques, many of them
- 15:32Speaker 9: are female-owned, just do the most amazing job of making
- 15:35Speaker 9: these women and kids feel and look incredible. So much
- 15:39Speaker 9: can happen to women when they're diagnosed and after they've
- 15:41Speaker 9: had their surgeries and their bodies change. And our whole
- 15:44Speaker 9: goal is to make everybody on the runway feel like...
- 15:48Speaker 9: They're being celebrated and that they're beautiful because they are.
- 15:50Speaker 2: And needless to say, the donations at this event every
- 15:54Speaker 2: year go to some really, really good programs.
- 15:57Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 15:57Speaker 9: So we have a family grant program where anybody whose
- 16:00Speaker 9: mom has been diagnosed with stage four metastatic breast cancer
- 16:03Speaker 9: or has passed away can apply for funding. And we
- 16:06Speaker 9: give grants between $ 10, 000 and $ 30, 000 a family. And we
- 16:08Speaker 9: currently are funding 100 families nationwide.
- 16:10Speaker 7: And the.
- 16:14Speaker 9: You know, the requirement is that you live in New
- 16:16Speaker 9: England or Tri-State or Southern California. And we pay for
- 16:20Speaker 9: things like groceries and child care and summer camp and
- 16:23Speaker 9: extracurricular activities. Anything we can do to keep the child
- 16:27Speaker 9: feeling as normal as possible, which was really my mom
- 16:30Speaker 9: Candy's hope when she was alive to make give us normalcy.
- 16:34Speaker 9: And we know that the more you can create normalcy
- 16:37Speaker 9: for children, the easier the grief is. And for mothers,
- 16:42Speaker 9: especially who have been given this terminal diagnosis, we want
- 16:45Speaker 9: them to focus on those memories with their children and
- 16:48Speaker 9: living as much as they can. And so our hope
- 16:51Speaker 9: is that we can take that financial burden away because
- 16:53Speaker 9: we know cancer is really expensive.
- 16:54Speaker 2: I'm trying to imagine the happy chaos that goes on
- 16:57Speaker 2: backstage in a fashion show, so to speak, that has
- 17:00Speaker 2: a hundred seventy five.
- 17:03Speaker 7: Makeup for a hundred and seventy five models.
- 17:05Speaker 5: That alone. Nothing. How do you manage that?
- 17:08Speaker 9: Well, first of all, the hair and makeup stylist, I mean,
- 17:10Speaker 9: shout out to 20 years of full 100 percent volunteer.
- 17:15Speaker 5: They show up and they love this night. They live
- 17:18Speaker 5: for this night.
- 17:19Speaker 9: The energy backstage is not to be believed. I want
- 17:22Speaker 9: to do a whole video on just what it feels like.
- 17:24Speaker 9: It's so many hugs and so many, certainly tears, but
- 17:29Speaker 9: it's a community that understands one another. And there was
- 17:33Speaker 9: this wonderful moment backstage in New York where somebody was
- 17:36Speaker 9: having a hot flash because that can happen when you're
- 17:38Speaker 9: in post-treatment. And 30 women all around fanning her off,
- 17:43Speaker 9: getting her ready for her time out on the runway.
- 17:45Speaker 5: Because they all get it. Because they all get it.
- 17:47Speaker 5: And you don't have to explain it.
- 17:48Speaker 9: And- It's also been amazing to see kids grow up
- 17:51Speaker 9: on our runway. We've had a we had a girl
- 17:53Speaker 9: start with her mom when she was three. She's coming
- 17:56Speaker 9: back on the runway as a 23 year old like
- 17:57Speaker 9: she's she has grown up knowing that there are other
- 18:01Speaker 9: kids like her that she doesn't have to feel alone
- 18:03Speaker 9: and that there can be a way to celebrate and
- 18:06Speaker 9: to find joy and. That's the thing that I'm most
- 18:08Speaker 9: proud of.
- 18:08Speaker 4: So you can go.
- 18:09Speaker 5: You can go. We're very close to selling out, but
- 18:12Speaker 5: you can go.

- 18:50Speaker 7: It's the morning wrap-up on Billy and Lisa in the morning.
- 18:54Speaker 3: You know, I always start the wrap-up by saying it
- 18:56Speaker 3: was a fun show, which I think it was. A
- 18:58Speaker 3: lot of great moments, but also a sad one with
- 19:00Speaker 3: Dolly Parton.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Very sad.
- 19:01Speaker 5: Passing.
- 19:02Speaker 3: We'll get to that in a minute. First and foremost,
- 19:03Speaker 3: the Bruno Mars double play. We had a winner this morning.
- 19:07Speaker 3: A little bit of a controversy. Yeah. Yeah. Things happen.
- 19:10Speaker 3: This is a live radio show. You know, we had
- 19:12Speaker 3: caller 25. We always take caller 25 and that a
- 19:15Speaker 3: bad phone connection.
- 19:16Speaker 2: It's almost like aliens took over.
- 19:18Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Although we heard hello.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Hello.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Hello. Over and over again. So we ended up taking
- 19:22Speaker 3: the next caller and that was Karen. She was very
- 19:26Speaker 3: happy to win. Congrats, Karen.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
- 19:29Speaker 8: I cannot believe this is happening. Thank you so much.
- 19:33Speaker 8: My husband is going to freak out. My son is
- 19:35Speaker 8: going to be so devastated.
- 19:36Speaker 2: But I don't care.
- 19:37Speaker 8: It's date night, baby.
- 19:39Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 19:40Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 19:40Speaker 2: The son wanted her to do it, but she's taking dad.
- 19:44Speaker 6: I know.
- 19:44Speaker 4: Well, the son's 13. So, yeah. So she wants maybe
- 19:48Speaker 4: a little date night with her hubby.
- 19:49Speaker 5: Right?
- 19:50Speaker 3: Going to be a great.
- 19:51Speaker 4: It's going to be awesome.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Great date night. And again, Karen qualifies for the grand prize,
- 19:55Speaker 3: which is tickets to both nights back to back in
- 19:57Speaker 3: the first night. You can upgrade it right up front.
- 20:00Speaker 3: That's very cool. But yeah, if you missed that in
- 20:02Speaker 3: the 8 o'clock hour, that was quite the moment here
- 20:04Speaker 3: on the show.
- 20:04Speaker 1: I hope you guys don't actually get in trouble for
- 20:07Speaker 1: what happened with that contest because let me.
- 20:09Speaker 8: Tell you, that was very entertaining.
- 20:11Speaker 2: I had a blast listening. Thank you.
- 20:14Speaker 3: The best part was Billy. He just kept getting worked
- 20:17Speaker 3: up because he just wanted the winner.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:19Speaker 3: We just couldn't get her.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Yeah. Hello. Yeah.
- 20:22Speaker 3: But we're not responsible for bad phone connections.
- 20:25Speaker 2: No. We are not. It's right in the rules, I think.
- 20:28Speaker 5: It is.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Yes.
- 20:28Speaker 3: So the Bruno Mars double play does continue. We're doing
- 20:31Speaker 3: it today through the rest of the week. So back
- 20:32Speaker 3: to back Bruno Mars songs. Keep us on the iHeartRadio app.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Kiss 108. You don't want to miss it when we
- 20:39Speaker 3: do that. And so the sad part of the show,
- 20:41Speaker 3: Dolly Parton. Dead. At 80 years old. An absolute legend.
- 20:44Speaker 3: I think we played a great tribute to her. Don't
- 20:47Speaker 3: you think?
- 20:47Speaker 2: I think so. We did.
- 20:49Speaker 3: Some things that happened last night that we missed because
- 20:51Speaker 3: we got up very early. Kesha had a show in Pittsburgh.
- 20:57Speaker 3: And she paid tribute to Dolly.
- 20:59Speaker 6: Before I was born, my mom actually wrote a song
- 21:03Speaker 6: for Dolly Parton. And that song, that song bought us
- 21:08Speaker 6: a house, like a roof.
- 21:10Speaker 5: That song put me through.
- 21:15Speaker 6: School. And when I was making my album Rainbow, Dolly
- 21:24Speaker 6: Parton sang my mom's song.
- 21:27Speaker 2: With me.
- 21:28Speaker 6: So I'm singing my mom's song that she wrote for
- 21:30Speaker 6: Dolly Parton with Dolly Parton. Wow.
- 21:33Speaker 2: And then she sang the song. That's incredible.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Pretty amazing. And we talked about Pitbull because Dolly and
- 21:38Speaker 3: Pitbull do have a collaboration from 2024, Powerful Woman. He
- 21:41Speaker 3: had a show in New York last night, played the song,
- 21:44Speaker 3: had a good message to Dolly.
- 21:46Speaker 2: We're having a great time.
- 21:47Speaker 5: And we're losing our minds.
- 21:49Speaker 2: But there's someone that was very special to me and
- 21:51Speaker 2: strongly loved and believed in me when a lot of
- 21:54Speaker 2: folks didn't even gave me an opportunity. And her name.
- 22:02Speaker 5: Is Dolly Parton.
- 22:03Speaker 2: She lived an amazing life. A hard-working woman, intelligent, sophisticated, funny, powerful, intimidating.
- 22:10Speaker 2: This is dedicated to y'all, but more than anything, to
- 22:13Speaker 2: the legend that will live forever.
- 22:15Speaker 5: Dolly Parton.
- 22:17Speaker 2: That's the thing about Dolly. If she had a message
- 22:19Speaker 2: or words of wisdom to any kind, she would reach
- 22:21Speaker 2: out to anybody. Anybody.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Just beloved in all genres, all walks of life, all generations.
- 22:28Speaker 3: It's been a really emotional day in the music world.
- 22:31Speaker 2: I'm not crying. You're crying.
- 22:33Speaker 8: You guys are all crying, right? Because I'm definitely not. Well,
- 22:37Speaker 8: I am.
- 22:38Speaker 5: I'm crying just a little bit.
- 22:40Speaker 8: What an emotional show today. I love you guys. Thank
- 22:44Speaker 8: you for always making us laugh and cry. So many
- 22:47Speaker 8: amazing stories of Dolly.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Loved her.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Well said.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Best in peace. And finally, our topic time this morning
- 22:53Speaker 3: came from a clip from Alex Earl talking about the
- 22:57Speaker 3: minimum bare minimum requirement when it comes to a date
- 23:00Speaker 3: because guys are showing up for dates with her. And
- 23:03Speaker 3: they're not even getting out of the car. They're not
- 23:05Speaker 3: coming to the door.
- 23:05Speaker 4: They're like, hop in.
- 23:06Speaker 3: Yeah, hop in. Maybe they're honking the horn.
- 23:08Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 23:09Speaker 3: My mom always said, if you're worth coming for, you're
- 23:11Speaker 3: worth coming to the door for.
- 23:13Speaker 4: It's very true.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Absolutely. Well said, mom.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Well said.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Don't be leaning on the horn.
- 23:19Speaker 3: And Bill had his own, you know, minimum requirement. And
- 23:23Speaker 3: that was, you know, on a date, if you get
- 23:25Speaker 3: there first. Don't have too many Cosmos before the date. No,
- 23:29Speaker 3: that's bad, Bill says.
- 23:30Speaker 9: To Billy's point, if you're a woman and you show
- 23:32Speaker 9: up to a restaurant and the guy is two Cosmos in,
- 23:37Speaker 9: why are you meeting guys on Grindr?
- 23:39Speaker 2: That's beautiful.
- 23:46Speaker 3: Very good.
- 23:47Speaker 2: If you can, get out there and enjoy it, and
- 23:50Speaker 2: we'll see you right back here tomorrow morning. Same time, okay?
- 23:52Speaker 3: We'll see you.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Bye.
