- 0:26Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 0:27Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day yesterday. It was. I mean,
- 0:30Speaker 1: picture perfect. And it was beautiful out on the water.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I took a little boat cruise yesterday with a bunch
- 0:36Speaker 1: of clients.
- 0:37Speaker 5: I know. I called you. You were out on the seas.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Out on the high seas. Seas were flat like glass.
- 0:45Speaker 2: It was like a perfect day.
- 0:46Speaker 1: It was beautiful.
- 0:48Speaker 5: Okay. Was there any screaming at the ocean? That was
- 0:51Speaker 5: the story we had yesterday. A group in California.
- 0:54Speaker 1: You know, I tried to put a group together. Yeah,
- 0:56Speaker 1: that would have been cool. For a screaming session. Nobody
- 0:59Speaker 1: was buying it. No, it's okay. It was too peaceful
- 1:01Speaker 1: out there. They didn't want to scream at anybody.
- 1:03Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Lisa, you had another late night, another more club packed
- 1:06Speaker 1: house last night.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Well, I was at the Newberry. So beautiful.
- 1:08Speaker 4: You know, Back Bay. It was gorgeous. We overlooked the
- 1:11Speaker 4: public garden. And it was really like a spectacular evening.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Leanne Moriarty, she wrote Big Little Lies. Her follow-up is
- 1:17Speaker 4: Big Little Truths. It's the sequel. It will be made
- 1:20Speaker 4: into an HBO show. the third season, she had never
- 1:24Speaker 4: been to Boston.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Never in her life.
- 1:27Speaker 4: She had never been to Boston. She is from Australia.
- 1:30Speaker 4: And I thought that that was so cool that her
- 1:33Speaker 4: first visit to our beautiful city was for my book club.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:38Speaker 6: I am currently in line to get my book signed
- 1:41Speaker 6: at your book club, Lisa. What an amazing conversation. I'm
- 1:46Speaker 6: so excited to read Big Little Truths. And everyone was
- 1:50Speaker 6: so lovely. And you had quite a crowd of women
- 1:54Speaker 6: that were a little buzzed from all the free alcohol
- 1:57Speaker 6: of 90 plus sellers, which was delicious. And I think
- 2:00Speaker 6: I'm getting a dog from Lisa.
- 2:04Speaker 7: What?
- 2:05Speaker 2: From me?
- 2:05Speaker 1: She's getting a dog from you?
- 2:07Speaker 8: No.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Oh.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I don't know what she's talking about.
- 2:09Speaker 3: You should have had a kangaroo there to welcome her
- 2:12Speaker 3: from Australia.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Well, she was probably drunk.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Well, she was drunk dialing us. Exactly.
- 2:18Speaker 4: I have to say the Newberry, what an amazing job
- 2:21Speaker 4: they do.
- 2:22Speaker 2: It's such a beautiful spot.
- 2:23Speaker 4: And 90 plus sellers was being poured and they were
- 2:26Speaker 4: doing past hors d'oeuvres.
- 2:27Speaker 2: It was just a gorgeous evening. And yeah, the book
- 2:31Speaker 2: is out. Go get it. Big Little Truths. And it's
- 2:34Speaker 2: a standalone.
- 2:34Speaker 4: So that was one of my questions I asked Leanne was,
- 2:37Speaker 4: did you write this so you don't have to read
- 2:40Speaker 4: the first book, which was great.
- 2:41Speaker 2: And you don't have to.
- 2:42Speaker 1: You don't have to. It's a standalone. And you're back
- 2:46Speaker 1: out today.
- 2:46Speaker 3: You're going to Logan Airport for Voice of Logan.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Well, we've been talking about this for weeks now, all
- 2:51Speaker 2: of us.
- 2:51Speaker 4: So, yes, they're actually doing live auditions today from 1.30
- 2:55Speaker 4: to 3.30 in Terminal A, that Delta baggage claim area.
- 2:58Speaker 4: You just walk right in. We'll be set up. We
- 3:00Speaker 4: can coach you. Matt Scher will be there, too. And
- 3:04Speaker 4: they'll give you the script.
- 3:05Speaker 2: It's really easy. We'd love to see you. They'll be
- 3:08Speaker 2: filming you.
- 3:09Speaker 4: So it might be, you know, if you really want
- 3:10Speaker 4: to get in on this, you might want to come
- 3:12Speaker 4: to Logan today.
- 3:13Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. They were buzzing about the contest at the
- 3:16Speaker 5: book club last night.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Yes.
- 3:18Speaker 5: Yeah, a little birdie caught it.
- 3:20Speaker 6: Oh, talk back in, Logan. Lisa from Peabody.
- 3:23Speaker 9: I'm Jamie.
- 3:24Speaker 10: Just Jamie.
- 3:26Speaker 2: And what's your name?
- 3:27Speaker 6: No, I sent you all my videos.
- 3:29Speaker 5: She sent hers in. Send yours in, too.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to voiceoflogan.com. You get all the information,
- 3:36Speaker 3: and you can actually do your audition.
- 3:37Speaker 5: Yeah. My mother-in-law is not really submitting.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Oh, God.
- 3:41Speaker 5: The talkbacks are endless on this. We can't even go
- 3:44Speaker 5: down that road.
- 3:44Speaker 1: No, I insist she jump in.
- 3:46Speaker 5: No, she's not going to.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Justin, I want to hear Nani's audition from yesterday again.
- 3:50Speaker 4: No.
- 3:53Speaker 1: You're not even going to play it? Are you not
- 3:54Speaker 1: speaking to Nani or something?
- 3:55Speaker 5: We're running out of time.
- 3:56Speaker 11: Oh, God.
- 3:56Speaker 5: You're late here this morning.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Oh, boy. Okay.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Hey, we're having a discussion today. If you have a
- 4:02Speaker 3: kid's party at the house, should adults be having alcohol?
- 4:07Speaker 3: Should there be alcohol in the house? Or should you
- 4:09Speaker 3: lock it up and just have no booze at a
- 4:11Speaker 3: kid's party? You got a DM, Liz.
- 4:13Speaker 1: I did.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Would you like me to read it?
- 4:14Speaker 1: I would love to. All right.
- 4:16Speaker 2: It says, hi, guys.
- 4:17Speaker 4: I'm in a big debate with my husband on whether
- 4:20Speaker 4: or not to serve alcohol at our daughter's eighth birthday party.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Okay, she's turning eight.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Most of the birthday parties we've been to where the
- 4:29Speaker 4: adults are invited to stay have alcohol served. But to
- 4:32Speaker 4: be honest, most of the parents get a little too
- 4:35Speaker 4: drunk and the kids become an afterthought.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I'm not a big drinker.
- 4:39Speaker 4: So I basically sit there and watch all the moms
- 4:42Speaker 4: and dads get wasted. And I think it's completely classless.
- 4:46Speaker 4: My husband's argument is that people expect alcohol to be served.
- 4:49Speaker 2: So we should serve it.
- 4:51Speaker 4: We don't want all of the other parents to talk
- 4:53Speaker 4: about us for not serving alcohol and And then our
- 4:56Speaker 4: daughter doesn't get invited to other kids' future birthday parties.
- 5:00Speaker 2: What should we do?
- 5:01Speaker 1: You know what it is? It's a pickle.
- 5:03Speaker 2: This is a pickle. This is a big debate.
- 5:06Speaker 1: If you want to jump in on it, feel free.
- 5:08Speaker 1: They can send talkbacks right now. Right, Justin?
- 5:11Speaker 5: Always on the iHeartRadio app. It is free to download
- 5:13Speaker 5: to your phone. You have an opinion on this. We'd
- 5:15Speaker 5: love to hear it. Just tap that red microphone button.
- 5:18Speaker 2: From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios. We're back with
- 5:22Speaker 2: Billy and Lisa in the morning. Hey, guys.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Welcome back.
- 5:25Speaker 3: It is a Thursday morning. It is, and I hope
- 5:28Speaker 3: I'm right, September 17th. Justin, I know you're dying to
- 5:32Speaker 3: correct me.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Am I right? It is September 17th this morning.
- 5:36Speaker 5: That is correct. Yes.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Uh, Lisa had another late night last night at the
- 5:42Speaker 3: book club.
- 5:43Speaker 1: It's so crowded. It takes forever to get home.
- 5:46Speaker 4: So the line to meet Leanne and have her sign
- 5:49Speaker 4: their books. And then they, she took a picture with
- 5:51Speaker 4: every single person. It was like wrapped around the entire hotel.
- 5:56Speaker 5: It's a lot of people.
- 5:57Speaker 1: That's a lot.
- 5:58Speaker 4: It was hundreds and hundreds of people. And she met
- 6:01Speaker 4: every single person.
- 6:02Speaker 3: One of the things I enjoy most about the book
- 6:04Speaker 3: club on your posts is when you send the post
- 6:07Speaker 3: of the lineup of.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Books coming, Oh, my gosh.
- 6:09Speaker 3: You know, stacked up on a long, long table. And
- 6:12Speaker 3: it just looks like such a big event. I'm like,
- 6:13Speaker 3: this is so cool.
- 6:14Speaker 2: It's so cool.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:15Speaker 7: Good morning, Billy, Lisa, Justin, Lisa. Amazing last night. My
- 6:20Speaker 7: first time attending your book club and my friends and
- 6:22Speaker 7: I were blown away. It was such an amazing night.
- 6:26Speaker 7: Everything was so well put together. We had the best time.
- 6:31Speaker 7: You are beautiful, full of grace. Leon was lovely. Thank
- 6:35Speaker 7: you so much for this incredible night. We will definitely
- 6:39Speaker 7: be back again.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I know.
- 6:41Speaker 2: I'm going to cry.
- 6:42Speaker 1: You can cry.
- 6:43Speaker 5: It's a safe space.
- 6:45Speaker 1: We don't have any tissues in this video.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Honestly, I walked in yesterday because Leon had never been— I' ve
- 6:52Speaker 4: never met her, and I loved her book. I loved
- 6:55Speaker 4: the show so much for so many different reasons. And
- 6:58Speaker 4: the fact that she came here to be part of
- 7:01Speaker 4: Lisa's book club and then to see all of the
- 7:03Speaker 4: women come, it's really spectacular.
- 7:07Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 7:08Speaker 5: I just, this is why you started the book club.
- 7:09Speaker 12: I did.
- 7:10Speaker 4: And last night we announced that raising a reader confirmed
- 7:13Speaker 4: that we've raised.
- 7:13Speaker 13: $ 60, 000.
- 7:13Speaker 2: It's incredible. This little book.
- 7:17Speaker 4: Club, like people buying raffle tickets, we give concert tickets away. And, um,
- 7:21Speaker 4: and to see all the new people there last night
- 7:23Speaker 4: was just really impactful. And we had a teacher in
- 7:26Speaker 4: the audience who it was the last question of the night.
- 7:28Speaker 4: And she asked Leanne, she's like, no one's reading. These
- 7:31Speaker 4: young kids aren't reading. What can I do? And we
- 7:34Speaker 4: had a discussion about it. And, um, And I just said,
- 7:37Speaker 4: we just have to keep doing things like this. We
- 7:39Speaker 4: have to keep modeling for our kids, keep just showing
- 7:42Speaker 4: up and raising money and reading in our own homes.
- 7:45Speaker 1: And make it entertaining the way you have.
- 7:47Speaker 2: And don't make it overwhelming.
- 7:49Speaker 4: Like have them read 10 minutes a night, like five
- 7:51Speaker 4: minutes a night, whatever they can handle. But like, we
- 7:54Speaker 4: can't give up on this. So, and you know, book
- 7:56Speaker 4: talk and all that kind of stuff we talked about is,
- 7:58Speaker 4: is really influential too.
- 8:00Speaker 2: But, um, but yeah, I just, I, I, I'm so happy.
- 8:03Speaker 3: And it's about recommending the right books, too, to get
- 8:06Speaker 3: people reading. And it seems like you're always choosing the
- 8:09Speaker 3: right book for the right time.
- 8:10Speaker 1: They're like timely.
- 8:11Speaker 2: It's yeah.
- 8:12Speaker 4: And the authors love sharing their experiences. That's what I
- 8:15Speaker 4: love most about it is like they want to talk
- 8:18Speaker 4: to you. They want to tell their stories and they're
- 8:21Speaker 4: so open about it. And Leon was just one of
- 8:25Speaker 4: the one of the loveliest people I've ever met. She
- 8:28Speaker 4: lives in Australia, in Sydney. And we just had a
- 8:32Speaker 4: great a great talk.
- 8:33Speaker 3: And it's great that you're continually getting first-timers. We just
- 8:36Speaker 3: had a first-timer on the talk back, my friend Trish Rocket.
- 8:39Speaker 2: She was there last night.
- 8:39Speaker 1: To her first book club last night.
- 8:41Speaker 5: Trish was there?
- 8:42Speaker 1: Mike Rocket saw Trish.
- 8:43Speaker 5: Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, for people that are listening that
- 8:45Speaker 5: have never been, can you share the story, Lisa, about
- 8:48Speaker 5: why you started the book club, the story with Riley,
- 8:50Speaker 5: your son?
- 8:51Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 8:51Speaker 4: So I was, basically I went to, there was a
- 8:57Speaker 4: new bookstore on Charles Street.
- 8:59Speaker 2: And a Beacon Hill bookstore.
- 9:00Speaker 4: And I was there with a friend of mine and
- 9:02Speaker 4: Max was actually there and we were gonna meet and
- 9:04Speaker 4: go in and there was a line around the block.
- 9:05Speaker 4: And I remember talking to one of the young girls
- 9:07Speaker 4: in line. I said, what is going on here? I
- 9:09Speaker 4: thought it was like a sneaker launch. She's like, we're
- 9:11Speaker 4: waiting to get into this bookstore. I'm like, wow, that
- 9:13Speaker 4: is amazing.
- 9:14Speaker 1: It was a big news story at the time.
- 9:15Speaker 2: It was a big news story. So then we sat,
- 9:17Speaker 2: we ended up not waiting in line.
- 9:19Speaker 4: And I said to my friend, Jackie, I was like,
- 9:22Speaker 4: I think I think I'm going to start a book
- 9:24Speaker 4: club because I just had a conversation with Riley about
- 9:26Speaker 4: him reading more.
- 9:27Speaker 2: And he was like, Mom, you're not reading. So why
- 9:29Speaker 2: should I? He basically said that to me.
- 9:32Speaker 4: And and I said, you're right. So I came back
- 9:35Speaker 4: in that that next morning. And I remember we were
- 9:38Speaker 4: in the office early in the morning.
- 9:39Speaker 2: I said, I think I'm going to do this. And
- 9:40Speaker 2: you're like, do it, Donovan. Let's get this done.
- 9:42Speaker 4: So then we called up Ben Mesrick and we called
- 9:44Speaker 4: up the folks at Big Night and they gave us
- 9:46Speaker 4: a free space at Encore. Mystique, and I think we
- 9:51Speaker 4: had about 60 people show up the first event, and
- 9:54Speaker 4: look at us now.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Yeah, and those same people that went to the early
- 9:58Speaker 5: ones still go, and then people all the time.
- 10:01Speaker 2: They were all there last night. It was really amazing.
- 10:04Speaker 3: And I mentioned a couple of minutes ago the timing
- 10:07Speaker 3: of your books. And remember, Mel Robbins came in, which
- 10:09Speaker 3: was a massive book club. And now Mel Robbins is
- 10:13Speaker 3: doing a podcast here in Boston. And Oprah flew into
- 10:16Speaker 3: Boston to be on Mel Robbins' podcast here in Boston.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Do you remember that night?
- 10:20Speaker 5: I do.
- 10:21Speaker 2: And it was that week.
- 10:22Speaker 4: And Mel, like she kept her promise because when I
- 10:25Speaker 4: first started the book club, I had known we'd get
- 10:27Speaker 4: our hair done at the same place.
- 10:28Speaker 1: So random, right?
- 10:30Speaker 2: All these like weird stories.
- 10:32Speaker 4: And she kept her promise because she's like, when the
- 10:33Speaker 4: book comes out, I will come and do your book club.
- 10:35Speaker 4: And it just happened to be the week that she
- 10:37Speaker 4: surpassed the Joe Rogan podcast.
- 10:39Speaker 2: And it became her podcast. The Mel Robbins podcast was
- 10:42Speaker 2: number one in the world.
- 10:43Speaker 10: Right.
- 10:43Speaker 3: Yep.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And you know what it was? It was the Lisa's
- 10:46Speaker 1: book club bump.
- 10:47Speaker 3: It was the Lisa bump that Mel Robbins got.
- 10:50Speaker 2: It was, yeah.
- 10:51Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't disagree with that.
- 10:52Speaker 3: I think while Oprah was here, she also should have
- 10:55Speaker 3: done your book club.
- 10:57Speaker 1: You know what I mean? That could be next.
- 10:59Speaker 3: No, think about how many people through your book club
- 11:02Speaker 3: you've gotten to read, both young and old.
- 11:04Speaker 5: It's true. You got me to read.
- 11:06Speaker 1: That's right.
- 11:07Speaker 5: Currently, it was my New Year's resolution, and I stuck
- 11:10Speaker 5: with it. And the story you told about Riley... I
- 11:12Speaker 5: remember the first time I was reading on the couch,
- 11:14Speaker 5: and my son walked in, looked at me, and he goes,
- 11:17Speaker 5: what are you doing? See?
- 11:19Speaker 1: See what I mean? Didn't even get it.
- 11:21Speaker 5: Didn't even get it. Now it's normal. Is he reading?
- 11:24Speaker 5: Not yet.
- 11:25Speaker 2: But you're modeling. I mean, you're doing the right thing.
- 11:28Speaker 5: Yeah, and then I went through a whole chick book
- 11:30Speaker 5: phase where I was reading like, you know.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Colleen Hoover.
- 11:33Speaker 5: I didn't know.
- 11:34Speaker 1: It was a little humiliating. I never said anything.
- 11:36Speaker 5: It was hilarious. So I bought the Verity book. That's
- 11:39Speaker 5: going to be a movie with Anne Hathaway. I bought
- 11:41Speaker 5: the book because it was a bestseller. And so I
- 11:42Speaker 5: posted it on my Instagram. And I got flooded with
- 11:45Speaker 5: DMs from women being like, really, Justin?
- 11:48Speaker 7: Huh, okay.
- 11:49Speaker 2: You should have come last night.
- 11:51Speaker 5: I know, I should have. I know, I know.
- 11:54Speaker 7: Wow.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Congratulations, Alicia. You've done such a great thing. Is it
- 11:57Speaker 3: too early to talk about another book club?
- 11:59Speaker 4: No, we're going to be announcing, I'm actually starting a
- 12:01Speaker 4: book club for teens and for kids with, and we're

- 13:07Speaker 3: Bills quarterback Josh Allen at the press conference yesterday had
- 13:10Speaker 3: a special guest joining the conversation.
- 13:13Speaker 1: A distance is he can feel the vibe of the players.
- 13:15Speaker 1: He can see the energy, see how guys are feeling. Um,
- 13:20Speaker 1: And sometimes it's a spider. I don't like that. Spider
- 13:28Speaker 1: just came walking across.
- 13:30Speaker 5: If you watch the video, you can see it was
- 13:32Speaker 5: there while he continued to answer. His eyes were just
- 13:35Speaker 5: looking down, waiting.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I don't like that.
- 13:39Speaker 5: I don't like that.

- 13:43Speaker 3: going to be a one o'clock kickoff. Drake May hoping
- 13:46Speaker 3: to do better this week.
- 13:47Speaker 5: I think, you know, my position is built on split
- 13:49Speaker 5: second decisions and that's, that's football. You know, it's a
- 13:51Speaker 5: game of inches. It's a game of, of decisions in
- 13:54Speaker 5: an instant. And I think you get to, you know, see,
- 13:57Speaker 5: you know, the consequences, consequences when you don't, you'll make
- 13:59Speaker 5: the right one. Yeah.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Split seconds.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Especially when you're running for your life.
- 14:05Speaker 1: They're getting through the O-line like Swiss cheese.
- 14:07Speaker 5: Yeah, the Pat's first game. I don't like that. No, no.
- 14:10Speaker 3: How about Pat McAfee talking about sitting with Taylor Swift
- 14:14Speaker 3: at the Chiefs game Monday night?
- 14:16Speaker 13: Got a chance to chit-chat with Miss Taylor Swift last night.
- 14:18Speaker 5: Huge day. Told her, what's up? You doing any photos
- 14:20Speaker 5: in here?
- 14:21Speaker 13: On the way out, I go.
- 14:22Speaker 5: Is there any way I can get a selfie with you?
- 14:24Speaker 1: She says absolutely.
- 14:24Speaker 13: She was so kind, so hospitable. Her mom brought sugar-coated
- 14:27Speaker 13: bacon strips. We walk up to her.
- 14:29Speaker 1: I'm dripping in sweat.
- 14:30Speaker 13: We open the thing. First person we see is Donna
- 14:32Speaker 13: Kelsey Taylor Swift. And as soon as I look at
- 14:34Speaker 13: Miss Donna, I go, legend, how are you?
- 14:35Speaker 3: I go, Taylor.
- 14:36Speaker 13: Miss Taylor.
- 14:36Speaker 1: And she goes, Pat. And I go, oh, how are you?
- 14:38Speaker 13: Big hug she wants.
- 14:39Speaker 1: And I'm drenched.
- 14:40Speaker 13: This is how I'm meeting Taylor Swift for the first time, really.
- 14:42Speaker 13: You know, wedding. Hello, how you doing?
- 14:44Speaker 7: Chaos.
- 14:45Speaker 13: This is the first time really getting to talk. Just
- 14:46Speaker 13: swaddle all over. I'm so sorry that this happened. Great
- 14:48Speaker 13: to meet you. You're the best.
- 14:49Speaker 1: She's all in. Every snap.
- 14:51Speaker 13: That was the most Intuit suite we've ever been in.
- 14:54Speaker 1: That's what you want at a football game. Some bacon strips.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Sugar-coated bacon strips?
- 15:00Speaker 5: Oh, man. I like the donuts with the bacon on it.
- 15:03Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 5: Those go together well.
- 15:05Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
- 15:06Speaker 1: You know, Union Square Donuts is right down the street.
- 15:08Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking of. Come on, get me some.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Just saying. How about this?
- 15:13Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey, just named as a victim in a multimillion
- 15:17Speaker 3: dollar scheme, a Ponzi scheme. One of the schemers, by
- 15:21Speaker 3: the way, was sent to prison for 11 years on this.
- 15:23Speaker 3: This is a big, I wonder how much he lost.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 15:29Speaker 5: I think the scammer got away with like 30 million.
- 15:33Speaker 3: There's a conversation you don't want to have when you
- 15:35Speaker 3: walk in the house. Taylor's sitting down reading a book
- 15:38Speaker 3: or something and saying, honey, I don't want to make
- 15:40Speaker 3: a big deal about this, but we just lost $ 10 million.
- 15:43Speaker 1: What?
- 15:44Speaker 2: Can you cover me?
- 15:47Speaker 3: And by the way, Carrie Underwood is back with this
- 15:50Speaker 3: year's Sunday Night Football theme.
- 15:52Speaker 15: In a five-time fight, more than a game, it's every
- 15:56Speaker 15: fast line.
- 15:57Speaker 5: That's why we're waiting all day.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Last week, she was doing a limp biscuit.
- 16:05Speaker 5: That was a warm.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Up.
- 16:09Speaker 3: Lisa, you were back with another book club event last night,
- 16:11Speaker 3: another packed house. Yes.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Leanne Moriarty.
- 16:14Speaker 4: She wrote Big Little Lies. If you're a fan of
- 16:16Speaker 4: the show, the HBO show, she wrote Big Little Truths.
- 16:19Speaker 2: It's the follow up.
- 16:20Speaker 1: It's the sequel.
- 16:21Speaker 4: It is what the next show will be based on.
- 16:24Speaker 4: And she told me that It will be coming out.
- 16:27Speaker 4: They're going to start filming next year, so that's exciting.
- 16:29Speaker 4: But I asked her about her relationship with Nicole Kidman
- 16:34Speaker 4: specifically because Nicole stars in the show.
- 16:37Speaker 7: She's sort of goofy.
- 16:38Speaker 5: She's goofier than you.
- 16:40Speaker 1: She's goofy?
- 16:40Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 16:42Speaker 2: So does she come over to your house for dinner?
- 16:44Speaker 13: Well, she has been at my house, yes, yes.
- 16:48Speaker 16: Oh, that's lovely.
- 16:49Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 16:49Speaker 5: I did.
- 16:50Speaker 13: I can remember I had these sort of cream cakes
- 16:55Speaker 13: and she just looked there.
- 16:58Speaker 1: She just left them there.
- 17:01Speaker 13: And so I didn't touch them either.
- 17:02Speaker 5: And then she.
- 17:04Speaker 3: And then.
- 17:05Speaker 13: And then she left and then I went.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Sounds like me.
- 17:12Speaker 2: That's like such a real story.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Well, if Nicole's not eating them, then I'm not eating them.
- 17:17Speaker 3: Nicole Kidman is one of the few people I am
- 17:19Speaker 3: dying to meet someday.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Me too. That would be a goal of mine.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Lenny Clark, he's been in talking about, you know, shooting
- 17:26Speaker 5: with her, hanging out with her, and he says the
- 17:27Speaker 5: same thing. She's super cool.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved talking to Leigh-Anne last night.
- 17:31Speaker 4: And again, she had never been to Boston, so it
- 17:34Speaker 4: was kind of fun to welcome her to the city
- 17:35Speaker 4: and to Lisa's book club at the Newberry.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Speaking of coming to Boston, Oprah Winfrey, and you had
- 17:41Speaker 3: this story about a week ago, Lisa.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Yes.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Oprah came to Boston to be on Mel Robbins' podcast.
- 17:48Speaker 1: My intention for.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Flying to Boston to be with you, Mel, and to
- 17:55Speaker 2: be with you all is to be used.
- 18:00Speaker 1: As a light and a light that shines.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Or illuminates in a way that.
- 18:09Speaker 12: You can see yourself through me, through my stories, through Mel,
- 18:13Speaker 12: through her stories, and have that light ignited within yourself.
- 18:18Speaker 3: This was a very interesting interview. The podcast actually dropped yesterday.
- 18:22Speaker 3: You might want to check it out. It's another one
- 18:25Speaker 3: of those stories you had, Lisa. That was a hot
- 18:26Speaker 3: Lisa Donovan story.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Oprah's coming to Boston with Noel Robbins.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really exciting to see.
- 18:31Speaker 1: The whole thing unfold. Again, the Lisa bump. I, I, yeah.
- 18:37Speaker 4: And Mel did the book club, Lisa's book club. When
- 18:39Speaker 4: her book, the let them theory came out.
- 18:42Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 18:42Speaker 5: She talked about Oprah. I remember that Mel.
- 18:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 18:45Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Well, because Mel flew out to be on her podcast
- 18:48Speaker 2: for the book. Yeah, it's nice. They have a nice relationship.
- 18:51Speaker 2: So go listen to it. It's an amazing interview.
- 18:53Speaker 1: And now today you're going to be at Logan Airport,
- 18:54Speaker 1: Voice of Logan.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Okay, exactly. So we've been talking about this, all of us, voiceoflogan.com.

- 20:08Speaker 3: Dancing with the Stars Part 2 last night.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Producer Riley, who was kicked off?
- 20:15Speaker 8: So it was ladies last night. The men danced yesterday.
- 20:18Speaker 8: Ladies were tonight. Do you want me to just say
- 20:21Speaker 8: immediately who got kicked off?
- 20:22Speaker 1: Immediately.
- 20:23Speaker 7: Okay.
- 20:23Speaker 8: It was the Nader sister.
- 20:26Speaker 2: I already forget her first name.
- 20:27Speaker 12: Sorry.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Sister to Mr.
- 20:29Speaker 12: Nader.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Brooks Nader.
- 20:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:31Speaker 8: She is like kind of famous through her name.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Sarah Jane.
- 20:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:35Speaker 2: Sarah Jane.
- 20:36Speaker 8: She danced with another girl. They were fine. I'm honestly,
- 20:40Speaker 8: I'm kind of glad she got kicked off for me.
- 20:42Speaker 8: It was between her and the chef. She wasn't very
- 20:45Speaker 8: good either. Oh.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Oh, Giada.
- 20:47Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Really?
- 20:48Speaker 2: That's surprising. She was just fine.
- 20:50Speaker 12: Okay.
- 20:51Speaker 1: You thought she'd do better? I thought so. Did she
- 20:53Speaker 1: get a bad score?
- 20:54Speaker 8: Actually, she did okay. I thought she was overscored. Jenna
- 20:57Speaker 8: Dewan was definitely underscored. She did really well. How about
- 21:02Speaker 8: Julia Stiles? Julia Stiles did really well, actually, and she
- 21:05Speaker 8: danced to one of my favorite Dolly Parton songs and
- 21:08Speaker 8: had a cool explanation on how she got it.
- 21:10Speaker 16: Tonight I am dancing to 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton.
- 21:13Speaker 16: It was only a couple weeks before Dolly passed that
- 21:16Speaker 16: she approved this song specifically for me.
- 21:18Speaker 2: We've got to make this theatrical. I'm so honored to
- 21:21Speaker 2: be dancing to her music.
- 21:24Speaker 1: And I want to make her proud.
- 21:25Speaker 5: Okay.
- 21:26Speaker 2: How crazy is that that she picked the song before
- 21:28Speaker 2: she died?
- 21:28Speaker 8: And she approved it for Julia to dance to.
- 21:31Speaker 1: How cool is that?
- 21:32Speaker 15: Wow.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Wow.
- 21:33Speaker 5: That's pretty powerful.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Oh, that's deep.
- 21:36Speaker 8: And her dance was really fun. She did like a
- 21:38Speaker 8: jive or something. The person who got the highest score,
- 21:41Speaker 8: Maura Higgins from Traitors.
- 21:43Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
- 21:44Speaker 2: The show that I really love.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Which got the Emmy the other night.
- 21:46Speaker 8: She was like a crazy dark horse. Like she looked
- 21:49Speaker 8: so nervous the entire time and came out and killed it.
- 21:52Speaker 2: I wonder if Julia will get the Dolly bump, right?
- 21:55Speaker 16: Maybe.
- 21:56Speaker 5: Well, yeah. That's a good story.
- 21:58Speaker 3: That was my first thought this morning when I heard.
- 22:00Speaker 5: What about my guy?
- 22:02Speaker 3: Your guy, interestingly, Guillermo, from the Kimmel Show, had the
- 22:06Speaker 3: lowest score, but he lives to dance another day.
- 22:09Speaker 1: And Kimmel addressed it last night. Congratulations. You really pulled
- 22:16Speaker 1: it out.
- 22:16Speaker 13: You had the lowest score, and yet you did not
- 22:19Speaker 13: get eliminated because you had so many votes from the audience.
- 22:22Speaker 1: How does that feel? America loves you. I feel great, Jimmy.
- 22:26Speaker 1: The audience went crazy when I finished dancing. I'm so
- 22:29Speaker 1: happy that America loves me.
- 22:33Speaker 5: I love Guillermo.
- 22:34Speaker 1: You can't make that up. You really can't.
- 22:36Speaker 5: Yeah, keep voting. We want him.
- 22:39Speaker 3: Lisa from Blackpink has a new song, and it is
- 22:42Speaker 3: blowing up, and it's called.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Sawadee ka.
- 22:56Speaker 3: And on Fallon last night, she was asked about sawadee
- 22:59Speaker 3: ka and what it means.
- 23:00Speaker 2: So sawadee ka means hello in Thai.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Sawadee ka. Sawadee ka.
- 23:06Speaker 5: Sawadee ka.
- 23:07Speaker 2: So you have to say sawadee krab.

- 23:12Speaker 2: Yeah, sawadee krab.
- 23:14Speaker 5: I see.
- 23:14Speaker 1: So what does that mean?
- 23:16Speaker 2: It's it's hello.
- 23:17Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 23:18Speaker 1: It's different.
- 23:18Speaker 7: Different.

- 24:22Speaker 1: No, this is the real thing.
- 24:24Speaker 5: This is the real thing.
- 24:25Speaker 2: It is a real thing.
- 24:26Speaker 1: It's a real thing.
- 24:28Speaker 5: We tried to do that. We did save the cake.
- 24:30Speaker 5: I just could not bring myself to eat it.
- 24:32Speaker 1: It doesn't taste very good a year later.

- 24:37Speaker 3: Quickly, Resident Evil hits theaters this weekend, and American Idol
- 24:41Speaker 3: is moving the show from Los Angeles to Atlanta after
- 24:45Speaker 3: 25 years.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Oh, really? I don't like that.

- 25:05Speaker 2: Billy and Lisa every morning.

- 25:08Speaker 3: I think there's going to be a crazy conversation on

- 25:14Speaker 3: number to call if you want to get in on

- 25:19Speaker 3: you've got a DM and that is the conversation.
- 25:22Speaker 1: All right.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Would you like me to read the DM?
- 25:24Speaker 5: Yes. OK.
- 25:25Speaker 1: It says, hi, guys.
- 25:26Speaker 4: I'm in a big debate with my husband on whether
- 25:28Speaker 4: or not to serve alcohol at our daughter's upcoming birthday party.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Most of the birthday parties we've been to where the
- 25:34Speaker 4: adults are invited to stay have alcohol served. But to
- 25:37Speaker 4: be honest, most of the parents get a little too
- 25:41Speaker 4: drunk and the kids become an afterthought. I'm not a
- 25:44Speaker 4: big drinker, so I basically sit there and watch all
- 25:47Speaker 4: the moms and dads get wasted, and I think it's classless.
- 25:51Speaker 4: My husband's argument is that people expect alcohol to be served,
- 25:56Speaker 4: so we should serve it. We don't want all of
- 25:58Speaker 4: the other parents to talk about us for not serving alcohol,
- 26:00Speaker 4: and then our daughter doesn't get invited to other kids'
- 26:04Speaker 4: future birthday parties.
- 26:05Speaker 2: What do you think we should do?
- 26:07Speaker 4: Again, this daughter was turning eight, so it was an
- 26:09Speaker 4: eight-year-old's birthday party.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Oh, boy, this is a tough one. This is a
- 26:14Speaker 1: tough one.
- 26:15Speaker 3: I can only think back to my son Chris's high
- 26:18Speaker 3: school graduation party. And not only did we serve liquor,
- 26:24Speaker 3: but I turned the gazebo into a bar and I had.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Two bartenders from Rain Nightlife.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Okay, well, you leaned into that.
- 26:31Speaker 1: But, I mean, it never crossed my mind.
- 26:34Speaker 3: I mean, it was like an outdoor tent party where
- 26:37Speaker 3: we had a DJ and a dance floor and a
- 26:40Speaker 3: swimming pool.
- 26:40Speaker 1: It was like.
- 26:42Speaker 3: It was like going to a wedding where you would
- 26:44Speaker 3: get served alcohol.
- 26:45Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing about that, though, is liability.
- 26:48Speaker 4: If someone is drinking at your house, they're underage, they
- 26:50Speaker 4: get into an accident, something happens, you open yourself up
- 26:53Speaker 4: to a major problem. For me, this has been a
- 26:58Speaker 4: discussion for years. Most of the parties that we've had
- 27:02Speaker 4: at our house, we have a pool. So we would
- 27:04Speaker 4: have a bouncy house, a pool. And most of the
- 27:06Speaker 4: parties were pizza parties in the afternoon. I was not
- 27:09Speaker 4: serving alcohol.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Nobody had a glass of wine.
- 27:12Speaker 4: If they were in the middle of the afternoon, it
- 27:14Speaker 4: just didn't make sense. But if we had parties that
- 27:17Speaker 4: were later in the evening and there were a few,
- 27:20Speaker 4: you know, parents around, I would I would definitely open
- 27:23Speaker 4: up a bottle of wine and offer it to the parents.
- 27:26Speaker 5: But you wouldn't have coolers full of beer.
- 27:28Speaker 4: There was no bar set up. There were no coolers with,
- 27:31Speaker 4: you know. Especially if it was like midday. I just
- 27:34Speaker 4: thought that was kind of strange.
- 27:35Speaker 3: A funny twist at the party I just described. I
- 27:39Speaker 3: did discover a couple of kids sneaking nips down in there.
- 27:42Speaker 3: So they brought it.
- 27:43Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 27:43Speaker 1: They brought it to the house. I don't have nips
- 27:45Speaker 1: in the house.
- 27:46Speaker 2: That's a whole other discussion when you have teenagers.
- 27:48Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 27:48Speaker 3: So I grabbed the kid by the hair and escorted
- 27:51Speaker 3: him out of the yard and away from the party. Well,
- 27:54Speaker 3: he ended up in the National Hockey League. And he
- 27:57Speaker 3: could punch my face in right now. Do you think
- 27:59Speaker 3: he'll come back someday? Just ask it. But you can't.
- 28:05Speaker 5: Okay, but think about when your kids were little, though.
- 28:06Speaker 5: Let's take it way back.
- 28:07Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
- 28:08Speaker 1: It's little.
- 28:08Speaker 5: Did you serve alcohol when your kids' birthday parties were.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Like eight years old?
- 28:12Speaker 3: When my kids were little, most of the time we
- 28:14Speaker 3: took the parties elsewhere to like a Chuck E.
- 28:16Speaker 7: Cheese.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Or a Sky Zone.
- 28:17Speaker 1: By the way, they serve alcohol. Beer and wine.
- 28:21Speaker 5: Not all those good places do. Chuck E. Cheese does
- 28:23Speaker 5: serve beer, but there is a two-drink limit. But a
- 28:27Speaker 5: lot of the other places don't. Trampoline parks typically don't
- 28:30Speaker 5: serve alcohol. Right, like Sky Zone doesn't. Yeah, no. Yeah,
- 28:33Speaker 5: so that's an option you could definitely do.
- 28:35Speaker 4: An easy way to get out of that is not
- 28:37Speaker 4: have the potty in your house and have it at
- 28:40Speaker 4: a kid place, trampoline place or something like that, bowling.
- 28:44Speaker 5: Something like that where you're not in charge of the alcohol.
- 28:48Speaker 5: That's an option, but a lot of people want to
- 28:49Speaker 5: have the party at their house if they have a
- 28:51Speaker 5: big backyard.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Right, and a pool.
- 28:53Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, I'm kind of different. We don't drink,
- 28:55Speaker 5: my wife and I, so we don't even buy alcohol.
- 28:59Speaker 5: And kind of people expect that when they come. I
- 29:02Speaker 5: think an eight-year-old's birthday party, probably not the best place
- 29:05Speaker 5: to be serving up alcohol. People get drunk, like she said.
- 29:08Speaker 5: Which is why you take it elsewhere. You can take
- 29:11Speaker 5: it elsewhere.
- 29:11Speaker 3: And by the way, the two-drink limit... OK, if some
- 29:15Speaker 3: guy is at the party at Chuck E. Cheese and
- 29:17Speaker 3: he has a second beer or a second glass of wine,
- 29:19Speaker 3: if he wants a third, he'll just have somebody else
- 29:21Speaker 3: who hasn't hit their limit yet get him a drink
- 29:23Speaker 3: at the bar.
- 29:24Speaker 5: They always find a way. They always do.
- 29:26Speaker 14: I just wanted to chime in on the children's birthday
- 29:29Speaker 14: party and whether there needs to be alcohol. I don't
- 29:32Speaker 14: think it should be expected.
- 29:34Speaker 2: This is a day for the little kids.
- 29:35Speaker 14: Keep it simple. Parties are getting out of hand for
- 29:38Speaker 14: these kiddos. Just have some games in the backyard. If
- 29:42Speaker 14: you really need to or feel pressured, have a little
- 29:45Speaker 14: beer and wine available, but nothing too much that all
- 29:49Speaker 14: these people are going to be driving their kids home
- 29:51Speaker 14: drunk after your party.
- 29:53Speaker 4: Yeah, I totally agree. It's just not the place for it,
- 29:56Speaker 4: especially like little kids.
- 29:57Speaker 1: And if anything, it is just beer and wine.
- 30:00Speaker 12: Right.
- 30:00Speaker 1: It's not like people are doing tequila shots at a
- 30:02Speaker 1: four-year-old's birthday party.
- 30:03Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. Weirdo down the hall, Ashley on Jammin',
- 30:07Speaker 5: her one-year-old's birthday party was a boozy brunch. So, you know, it's,
- 30:13Speaker 5: you know, different strokes for different folks.
- 30:14Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 30:15Speaker 2: But again, I didn't attend.
- 30:16Speaker 1: I feel the need to have her in studio. But again,
- 30:19Speaker 1: like boozy brunch.
- 30:20Speaker 4: But again, that they're one like they're like in little
- 30:24Speaker 4: car seats.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Again, that's a different movie, too.
- 30:27Speaker 5: Right.
- 30:28Speaker 7: It's.
- 30:29Speaker 5: Well, it was at a bar, I believe.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
- 30:32Speaker 4: But we're talking about kids running around in your backyard like,
- 30:36Speaker 4: you know, you have a pool, you don't have a pool,
- 30:37Speaker 4: you have a bouncy house, you've got a water slide. Like,
- 30:40Speaker 4: I feel like those kind of parties in midday.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Just well, first of all, the young, young kids aren't
- 30:45Speaker 1: looking for the bar.
- 30:46Speaker 2: No, but we're talking about the parents.
- 30:48Speaker 13: It gets.
- 30:49Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 30:49Speaker 2: But I don't think it's necessary.
- 30:52Speaker 1: You give them a little talking to.
- 30:54Speaker 4: But this poor, this poor DMer, though, they're worried that
- 30:57Speaker 4: if they don't serve alcohol, that they're going to get uninvited,
- 31:01Speaker 4: like their daughter will not be invited to parties.
- 31:03Speaker 5: I mean, that's ridiculous.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Right.
- 31:06Speaker 5: That's like completely ridiculous.
- 31:08Speaker 1: I think the big deal.
- 31:08Speaker 5: Punish the child because there's not alcohol. Right.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Party.
- 31:11Speaker 5: Yeah, that's.
- 31:12Speaker 1: I think the big deal when it comes to house
- 31:13Speaker 1: parties is liability.
- 31:15Speaker 7: Yes.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Especially when kids start going 13, 14, 15 years old.
- 31:18Speaker 1: It's about liability.
- 31:19Speaker 7: It is.
- 31:19Speaker 5: But when I think back to being a child, I
- 31:22Speaker 5: remember alcohol being served at every single party.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Well, first of all, my dad was hammered at any party.
- 31:30Speaker 5: Yeah. Okay. Well, you say it all.
- 31:33Speaker 1: The time, right?
- 31:34Speaker 2: Okay, that's a different topic.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not going. No, he's not going. If there's
- 31:39Speaker 1: not beer flowing, he's not going. That's right.
- 31:42Speaker 15: I say the parents need to do what they feel
- 31:46Speaker 15: is the best thing to do. I wouldn't allow my
- 31:49Speaker 15: daughter to let her friends drink when she graduated high
- 31:52Speaker 15: school and we had a party for her.
- 31:55Speaker 14: And you know what?
- 31:56Speaker 15: It still was fine.
- 31:58Speaker 4: I remember for my grad high school graduation party, it
- 32:01Speaker 4: was with a couple of other of my friends and
- 32:03Speaker 4: all the parents and it was a pool party. And
- 32:05Speaker 4: this subject came up and my parents did a hard
- 32:07Speaker 4: line and said, we're not serving alcohol to the parents.
- 32:09Speaker 4: We're just not setting up a bar. And one of
- 32:11Speaker 4: the parents, it was like an argument. She wanted the bar.
- 32:14Speaker 4: She wanted to drink.
- 32:16Speaker 1: She ended up, she was.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Alcohol was a problem for her later in life.
- 32:20Speaker 5: Oh, so yeah, that happens too.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:23Speaker 5: So yeah, it's a hot topic, man.
- 32:25Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 32:26Speaker 5: Let us know what you think. 877-617-1108 or leave us
- 32:29Speaker 5: a talk back and let us know, has this happened
- 32:32Speaker 5: to you? What should she do?
- 32:33Speaker 16: Right.
- 32:34Speaker 5: We gave our opinions. Yeah. We'd like to hear yours.
- 32:36Speaker 5: Nothing worse than a drunk person at a kid's birthday party.
- 32:39Speaker 5: Or even worse, showing up drunk. That's even more. Listen,
- 32:42Speaker 5: I'm sorry I'm late.
- 32:44Speaker 1: I was at this all-night bachelorette party.
- 32:47Speaker 5: You mean like dildo jokes?
- 32:49Speaker 1: I'm the guy. What did you have, a few drinks
- 32:53Speaker 1: this morning? Like I think you did, didn't you? What
- 32:56Speaker 1: are you, Mother Cabrini?
- 32:58Speaker 5: You never touch this stuff? No, no, no, but I
- 33:01Speaker 5: wouldn't be drinking if I was going to entertain some kids.
- 33:03Speaker 1: I don't have to take any from you.
- 33:06Speaker 7: Get out of here.
- 33:07Speaker 3: Hey, you, let me tell you something, you low-life, lying,
- 33:12Speaker 3: four-flushing sack of s.
- 33:13Speaker 11: * * *.
- 33:14Speaker 1: I love Billy and Lisa. Kiss 108. Catcherslaw.com. Lisa, you
- 33:30Speaker 1: got a DM there.
- 33:31Speaker 2: The DM is, hi, guys.
- 33:33Speaker 4: I'm in a big debate with my husband on whether
- 33:36Speaker 4: or not to serve alcohol at our daughter's eighth birthday party.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Most of the birthday parties we've been to where the
- 33:42Speaker 4: adults are invited to stay have alcohol served. But to
- 33:45Speaker 4: be honest, most of the parents get a little too
- 33:47Speaker 4: drunk and the kids are become an afterthought. I'm not
- 33:51Speaker 4: a big drinker, so I basically sit there and watch
- 33:53Speaker 4: all the moms and dads get wasted, and I think
- 33:56Speaker 4: it's classless. My husband's argument is that people expect alcohol
- 34:00Speaker 4: to be served at these parties, so we should serve it.
- 34:02Speaker 4: We don't want all the other parents to talk about
- 34:05Speaker 4: us for not serving alcohol, and then our daughter doesn't
- 34:08Speaker 4: get invited to other kids' future birthday parties.
- 34:11Speaker 2: What do you think we should do?
- 34:12Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.
- 34:13Speaker 3: You don't uninvite the child because of what's going on
- 34:16Speaker 3: with the adults.
- 34:17Speaker 9: I'm really sick of.
- 34:17Speaker 16: All this stuff trending nowadays and everyone feeling the pressure
- 34:20Speaker 16: that they have to go along with it. You don't
- 34:21Speaker 16: got to supply alcohol for people.
- 34:23Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
- 34:23Speaker 16: If you're hosting a party, you're doing the food, you're
- 34:25Speaker 16: doing the cleanup, you're doing the hosting, that is enough. BYOB,
- 34:29Speaker 16: just like the good.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Old days, bring your own booze.
- 34:31Speaker 16: And at the very least, if you really feel like
- 34:33Speaker 16: you need to do something, just make like one big
- 34:35Speaker 16: jar of like sangria or something or just like one
- 34:38Speaker 16: mixed drink item that people can have as like an
- 34:40Speaker 16: appetizer drink. But like, you don't need to be getting
- 34:43Speaker 16: cases of beer for people.
- 34:44Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Well, if they're bringing their own booze, they're still going
- 34:47Speaker 1: to get buzzed at the party.
- 34:48Speaker 5: They are. Which is a concern.
- 34:50Speaker 1: There's more for them.
- 34:51Speaker 5: Yeah, that's definitely a concern. But then the other part
- 34:53Speaker 5: of that, as Lisa read, like the being judged part
- 34:57Speaker 5: by other parents.
- 34:58Speaker 6: Right.
- 34:58Speaker 2: And then the daughter doesn't get invited.
- 35:00Speaker 5: So the child's being punished over alcohol, essentially.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Stop being so freaking judgy.
- 35:06Speaker 2: It's so true.
- 35:07Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 35:08Speaker 5: All right, let's get an opinion from a professional here because,
- 35:10Speaker 5: you know, professionals do listen to this show, contrary to
- 35:13Speaker 5: popular belief.
- 35:14Speaker 11: Hi, this is Pat, your licensed mental health counselor that
- 35:17Speaker 11: calls in once in a while on a discussion about
- 35:21Speaker 11: drinking at a child's party. The parents want to model
- 35:24Speaker 11: good behavior, so that's a no. The parents do not
- 35:28Speaker 11: want to bend to peer pressure, so that's a no.
- 35:32Speaker 11: And the husband should be listening to the wife first.
- 35:35Speaker 11: And not dismissing our feelings. It's a similar thing that
- 35:39Speaker 11: happened before. So Lisa is right on this.
- 35:43Speaker 5: Okay.
- 35:45Speaker 1: What did he say?
- 35:45Speaker 5: No, I'm kidding.
- 35:49Speaker 1: By the way, I think he should enter the voice
- 35:51Speaker 1: of Logan.
- 35:52Speaker 5: You like his voice?
- 35:53Speaker 1: He had a little something going on there. Yeah, I'm
- 35:55Speaker 1: just saying. I don't know.
- 35:57Speaker 5: Bill is always just, do you notice that?
- 35:58Speaker 1: Just saying.
- 35:59Speaker 5: It's like a hundred times a show.
- 36:02Speaker 3: I just don't think there's a right or a wrong
- 36:05Speaker 3: answer to this. I think you just need to use
- 36:08Speaker 3: common sense.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Exactly. You need to use common sense.
- 36:12Speaker 5: Well, they're kind of in a pickle, right? Her and
- 36:15Speaker 5: her husband over this. Do they or don't they? Don't
- 36:17Speaker 5: they serve the alcohol?
- 36:18Speaker 4: Well, it sounds to me like the husband is, you know,
- 36:22Speaker 4: this is a peer pressure thing.
- 36:24Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 36:25Speaker 4: And you would think that as parents, you'd be over that.
- 36:27Speaker 4: But it sounds like it's not.
- 36:29Speaker 5: I guess not.
- 36:30Speaker 12: These people kind of suck. If you don't serve alcohol
- 36:33Speaker 12: at your eight-year-old's birthday party, she's going to get excluded
- 36:36Speaker 12: from future parties. What kind of people are you hanging
- 36:39Speaker 12: out with? That's not how any of my friend group works.
- 36:42Speaker 12: We can drink, we can not drink, and nobody's going
- 36:44Speaker 12: to judge you for it.
- 36:45Speaker 5: This is weird.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Right.
- 36:48Speaker 2: I agree.
- 36:48Speaker 4: Like if someone, if that's their house and that's their
- 36:51Speaker 4: role at the party, you respect them and just do,
- 36:55Speaker 4: you know, what they ask.
- 36:58Speaker 1: You know, it's about the kids.
- 37:00Speaker 13: Right.
- 37:00Speaker 7: Right.
- 37:01Speaker 1: And if somebody's getting drunk.
- 37:02Speaker 3: At the party, it's your responsibility to go.
- 37:04Speaker 1: To that person and say, I think it's time for
- 37:06Speaker 1: you to go home.
- 37:07Speaker 12: Right.
- 37:07Speaker 5: But I think the mindset here is a lot of
- 37:10Speaker 5: some people, guys, men, don't even want to be at
- 37:14Speaker 5: the kid's birthday party. So they're invited and they're dragged along.
- 37:17Speaker 5: And it's like, oh, well, at least if I can drink,
- 37:19Speaker 5: that would make it better. Instead of sitting there and
- 37:21Speaker 5: watching the kids on the bouncy house.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:24Speaker 5: That's just my thought on it.
- 37:25Speaker 10: I'm in my 30s and I have a lot of
- 37:27Speaker 10: friends that have children and they have birthday parties. Not
- 37:30Speaker 10: one of them has ever had alcohol and I've never
- 37:34Speaker 10: thought of it. No one has ever thought of it.
- 37:38Speaker 10: It's a child's birthday party. Absolutely not. I think you're
- 37:42Speaker 10: getting in your head. No one's going to think about
- 37:44Speaker 10: it because I never did when I went to a
- 37:47Speaker 10: child's birthday party and there was no alcohol. So no,
- 37:50Speaker 10: do not serve alcohol.
- 37:51Speaker 5: Maybe he's just saying that because he wants her to
- 37:53Speaker 5: cave and have the alcohol at the party.
- 37:57Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Could be a tactic. I don't know.
- 37:59Speaker 5: Let's go to Melissa in Chelsea. She's on line one. Hey, Melissa,
- 38:02Speaker 5: good morning. What do you think about this?
- 38:03Speaker 17: Hey, good morning. I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Why do
- 38:10Speaker 17: parents feel the need to drink? Now, I have two
- 38:15Speaker 17: kids at a birthday party. Then you're going to get
- 38:18Speaker 17: in your car drunk and drive your kids?
- 38:24Speaker 3: Well, I don't think we're talking about everybody's going to
- 38:26Speaker 3: get drunk just because somebody's serving wine or beer. It's
- 38:30Speaker 3: just some people always overdo it.
- 38:32Speaker 4: Well, I think in this DM, this person said that
- 38:36Speaker 4: she watches a lot of the parents just get completely wasted.
- 38:40Speaker 5: Look, if you serve alcohol at a party, there's a
- 38:42Speaker 5: chance someone's going to get sloshed.
- 38:43Speaker 15: Right.
- 38:43Speaker 5: It's just the way it is. Not everybody's going to
- 38:45Speaker 5: come and have one glass of wine or one beer.
- 38:47Speaker 5: There's always usually those people. And, you know, it's embarrassing.
- 38:51Speaker 5: So I get it. I hate when I'm at a— I
- 38:53Speaker 5: don't drink, but I hate when I'm at a party and, like,
- 38:56Speaker 5: it's always that one person causing a scene. And we
- 38:58Speaker 5: see these stories. There are brawls on the news.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 39:01Speaker 5: At kids' birthday parties.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Whenever you see a brawl at a kid's party, somebody
- 39:05Speaker 1: was drunk.
- 39:06Speaker 5: It's always alcohol.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Always. Most likely.
- 39:08Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Nicole's in Waltham. Hey, good morning, Nicole. You want to
- 39:12Speaker 1: add to the conversation? Hi, I was just thinking, why
- 39:17Speaker 1: are the parents even invited?
- 39:18Speaker 5: I have four boys and I love when I am
- 39:22Speaker 5: invited to a party and it's just a drop off.
- 39:25Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. A lot of these parties are drop.
- 39:27Speaker 5: Off part of it.
- 39:28Speaker 1: By the way, parents love. it when it's a drop off.
- 39:31Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Hey, we got the afternoon off. What do you want
- 39:33Speaker 1: to do?
- 39:33Speaker 5: That's a great point, Nicole. Every birthday party this weekend.
- 39:36Speaker 5: Not I'm not going.
- 39:39Speaker 4: What?
- 39:39Speaker 5: I'm not going to the birthday party. My son's friend
- 39:41Speaker 5: has a birthday party and I'm not going. Which is fine.
- 39:44Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 39:44Speaker 4: I feel like I've had a lot of house parties
- 39:46Speaker 4: and it's like the closer friends sometimes are like, oh,
- 39:50Speaker 4: let's just hang out, you know, because.
- 39:52Speaker 2: They live far away or whatever. They're not going to
- 39:54Speaker 2: come back and forth.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll always have one or two parents.
- 39:57Speaker 3: We were talking off the air, like a best friend
- 39:59Speaker 3: that will stay and help out because there's a lot
- 40:01Speaker 3: of work that goes into a party.
- 40:02Speaker 5: Totally.
