positive here, Billy. Unbelievable.Anyway, we got weird stories coming up

(05:23):
find out why blue fans are outraged. We got weird stories up next
on Kissy. All right, I'mgonna start in Las Vegas, Nevada,
and all you Bluey fans listen out, because parents are angry. When the
(05:44):
Dirt Dog Restaurant posted an event thatsaid that they were gonna have Bluey characters
at the restaurant, so more thanthree thousand people responded. People showed up,
they waited in line, and thenwere completely disappointed. Oh yeah,
the guy showed up in with likea hack costume, yeah, with his
beard showing, and the kids wereobviously screaming and unhappy. And I saw
(06:06):
him, I guess him. Thatwas The kids were distraught. Some kids
were crying, Some kids were upset, crying in their parents' shoulders. Yeah,
so I mean there shouldn't be youknow, this isn't the same show
that's coming like to the Bok thisweek. Oh yeah, this was,
you know, a separate thing.Yeah, this was an amateur event that
(06:27):
did not deliver. The guy's beardwas hanging out of the masket, was
all wrinkled and half on his face, and they had like the restaurant staff
members painting faces. Yeah, therewas no there was no ever put into
this. Well, the restaurant saysthey expected a couple of dozen people,
like three or four thousand people showedup. Yeah, they couldn't handle it.
It was a blue is a reallybig deal. It is really big.
I don't know if you saw thisMariner's game. I think it was
(06:48):
Monday night. So the batter foulsoff the pitch right, and the guy
in the crowd catches that ball right. The very next pitch, batter miles
it off. Same guy catches thesecond one. I lift the opposite way.
MJ. Melendez is into the corner, and you talk about a basket
(07:10):
catch, And it's true. Asfor hot start for that guy out there,
the one one one A little straightit out a little bit more let's
see into the corner. Oh wegot Jerry. Give that man a contract.
I mean, what's the what arethe chances of catching even one foul
(07:32):
ball? Have you ever tried tocatch one at a game? I've never
caught one. It's so difficult becauseyou tense up. I remember I was
sitting in the green Monster seats onceline Drive. I was with my son
Dylan. Line Drive home run intothe Monster, coming right at me,
and I'm like, I got this. My kid's young. I'm gonna be
a hero. It's still sizzling,you know. They hiss the line Drive
makes. I said, I'm notcatching that in front of him children,
(07:56):
humiliation. I ducked, go ahead, money, Okay, this I can't
believe I witnessed this. I sawtthis video last night on TikTok. There's
multi of them going around when he'sbefore you go on Whinnie. Yeah,
she's completely outraged at this video.She sent it to me ten times.
Just okay. So the Chiefs tickerHarrison Buckker. I think that's how you
say his name. He is veryreligious, and he spoke recently at a
(08:18):
graduation. I don't know the school, but I think it was like a
Catholic Christian School, and he basicallywas sitting there. I know you're gonna
play some of the audio justin butessentially he was telling the men to basically
don't fight against being emasculated, andwas telling the woman to lean into the
location of being homemakers. There waslike a scene of that more important than
(08:41):
their career. Yeah, it's actuallyis quite shocking. I think it is
you, the women who have hadthe most diabolical lives told to you.
How many of you are sitting herenow about to cross this stage and are
thinking about all the promotions and titlesyou are going to get in your career.
Some of you may go on tolead successful careers in the world,
but I would have entered to guessthat the majority of you are most excited
(09:03):
about your marriage and the children youwill bring into this world. I can
tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle. Is that a baby crying in the
background. Yeah? OK, Ijust want to make sure it'll be the
first to say that her life trulystarted when she began living her vocation as
a wife and as a mother.So I think you know, in life,
it's not about what you say,it's how you say it, yeah,
you know. And I think hejust could have said it a different
(09:24):
way. He could have said,you know, if your goals and your
aspirations are to like get that promotionand move up in your career, that's
fine. But if it's to bea housewife and you know, bear children,
okay, do that too, likemy right, and it's equally as
hard. It is. But heis ashamed though we all know he wasn't
saying that. And also, it'sa lot easier to be a housewife when
your husband kicks a football for millionsof dollars a year. Okay, we
(09:46):
don't have to come down to moneyand the money back. I at least
I think you can afford help.If your husband, you know, does
well like a sudden, you canafford to stay home. You can afford
to stay home and get help.But being a stay at home mom is
not it's a hard job. It'sa hard job. Her job is to
make a home, the American home. Right at the end of the day,
(10:07):
it is perhaps the most important jobin the world. How many years
will she have before the job getsher down? Oh yeah, will it
take her youth, her good looks? Her help will it's spoil her disposition
and finally wear her out. Youknow, I mean this in the most
respectful way possible, But just kickthe ball, buddy, Yeah, you
know what I mean. Why washe even invited? Well, I think
(10:31):
that was the I think it wassome Christians that it was the right audience.
But now it's twenty twenty four andeverything goes out to the world.
So okay, lease, what havewe got? All right? I can't
even believe that this happened. Butthere are a lot of commencement speeches going
on right now at colleges Well OneCollege in Buffalo, New York. Their
commencement speaker was an AI powered robotnamed Sophia. Thank you for having me.
(10:54):
It's a pleasure to be here inBuffalo at the Uville University. You're
a bit of background. I amSophia, a humanoid robot developed by Hanson
Robotics. I was designed to interactwith humans and engage in conversations, learning
and adapting through artificial intelligence algorithms.This is crazy. The students. I
(11:16):
think that they deserved better. Yeah, they agree, I agree to.
I would have taken hair something.Does It sounds like she's a lot of
fun man. Yeah, okay,I saw this video. I think most
of us have. Uh. Thisguy is on a flight in a Boss
actually in Los Angeles and decides tostring up a hammock and lie in the
(11:41):
hammock on Boss and of course itwent viral and now he's known as hammock
Guy. I would like to seethe sign of hamings we've got. We've
got a I can't see you,you can see you. Don't come on
that. I'm here. No,not, my god, my god,
(12:09):
where's hammock Guy? Now? Ithink they got him out of the hammock.
You should see it. He wasstrapped up to the handrails up pretty
high and then he wouldn't get down, cooting himself into the hammock. In
the hammock. I mean, it'shilarious. You have to watch the video.
Sure the family is so froight thatthat's where he's landed. Uh.
Anyway, entertainment is coming up next. We've got a lot. Tom Brady
(12:33):
released his statement yesterday. Now he, I guess regrets a lot of what
went down at the roast and howit affected his kids. Uh, we've
got some of that and really reallycool conversation about so many of the artists
that we play on the station.Uh, Billy Blanco is going to join
us. I'm an idiot. I'mgoing home and we're back with Billy and
(13:01):
Lisa in the morning. It's goodkiss one away, well, thank you
so much, and we are back. You want to check in with the
mafia justin Yeah, absolutely so.Just after nine o'clock, we'll have Ben
Mezrick on, who you know obviouslyhe wrote the book which became a movie
about the Game Stop of Saga andall that stuff. That's back in the
news because one of the guys,the guy, the Roaring Kiddy guy who
you know pumped the stocks up forGame Stop and AMC is back around and
(13:26):
I just want to know, Billy, are you going to ask Ben why
he didn't give us a heads upon my first question? My first question.
Everybody's making money but us. Goodmorning, guys, Good morning,
This is Carlos, this tin.The talk back is not going to be
about it. I saw Chris Hansburgand the airport, or that I saw
people have his sex in the seaport. Yeah, this dine is about Gainst
(13:46):
Stop. Last week I got agage Stop in an auction contract which it
pays more than a regular stock.I made almost fourteen on the stock,
almost one hundred and thirty dogs,which is crazy. He made one hundred
and thirty thousand dollars last week onthe Game Stop. That's insane. Yeah,
(14:07):
Dave Porton, I put five hundredgrand I think you put five hundred
and five hundred Yeah, into GameStop in AMC. The reason why this
is so important is that Keith Gillhasn't been on social in three years and
then goes back on X on Sundaywith this post, and then everybody made
all this money and they have MaybeBen can explain this better, but in
(14:28):
the last couple of days, theykeep putting us stop on the trading because
they're trying to kind of control itfor Game Stop. And you know what's
crazy about this too is Ben toldus on this show he couldn't find this
guy, he got nothing from him, and now he just appeared. And
where do you think it all started? At least a none of his book
club. Come on, there wego. That's where it goes before you
(14:48):
get to your entertainment here, Billy, one of my favorite segments I want
to get to really quickly. Goodmorning it's the May of this South then,
and it's time for another segment ofI Heard it at the game bar
Well, a well known male popstar was videotaped at an LA party making
out with another male and they're shoppingaround the videotape but nobody will touch it.
(15:13):
He says, he's straight, straightstraight. I don't know i'd made
out with people at parties. Whatdo you guys think, let's discuss.
I know who it was. Iknow. I have only one guess.
I know what it was, BillyBlanco. I knew it. Now the
entertainment updates with a Billy Copstad.That's hilarious. It's good. So the
(15:33):
Boston Bruins still alive in the playoffsstill, however, facing elimination, they
beat the Panthers in Florida last night. Three too still trail the series three
games to Jeremy Swayman Awesome in thenets again, talks about the win.
I love energy. I could feelenergy, and to be honest, the
only thing that matters to me arethe guys in black and bold out there.
I would run through a wall ofthese guys. I do anything for
(15:54):
these guys to make a safe Sothat's all I'm caring about out there and
then to it's really special to getwins like that. So now we have
a Game six Friday night right herein Boston. Oh and by the way,
Friday morning on the Billy and LeasaMorning Show, we'll have tickets for
Game six in the TD Garden.Meantime, the Celts and the Cavs have
a Game five right here in Bostontonight. The Celts win tonight, they
(16:17):
advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.And how about the Boston women's professional hockey
team. They're in the finals againsteither Toronto or Minnesota. And Tom Brady
thinking the Brady roast well may havebeen a bit of a mistake. I
loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun.
(16:37):
I didn't like the way that affectedmy kids. So it's the hardest part
about like the bittersweet aspect of whenyou do something that you think is one
way and then all of a suddenyou realize I wouldn't do that again because
of the way that affected actually thepeople that I care about the most in
the world. When I signed upfor that, I love when people were
making fun of me, and Ialways said, like I was going through
(17:00):
all the the Flategate stuff in twentyfifteen. Twenty sixteen, I watched three
things on TV. I watched PremierLeague soccer, I watch golf, and
I watch comedy shows because every timeI turn on sports and I was like,
are you kidding me? So it'slike I just want to like laugh.
So, Lice, do you thinkhe got the call from Giselle or
he got a call from the kids. I think it was probably a call
(17:23):
from Giselle. But I find itinteresting that he never mentions Giselle in that
statement. It's the children only,which tell which is very telling to me
that he doesn't really care about heropinion and didn't care about any of the
comments regarding her, just the onesabout the kids. Correct. Well,
again to me, there wasn't reallymuch about the kids. I think it
(17:45):
affected the kids. They were hearingthis about their mom and they're marriage.
The only mention was that he leftthe kids to play football. There was
nothing dispiriting about children's being said.I want to mate it. It was
about it was about their family.That was raunchy stuff about their mother.
Yeah, yeah, well Kevin Hartdid say the kids, Yeah, those
kids, But That's what I thinkhe was getting at with Brady saying like,
(18:07):
oh, I'm gonna go play andwent be eight and nine like that
was funny. I mean he madecommon things. They made comments about him,
you know, abandoned, abandoning ahand in his family basically anyway,
Caitlyn Clark had her first regular seasongame with the Indiana Fever. She also
scored her first points and I'm excited. I think this is the best way
to do it. Just get outthere and go for it. You know.
(18:30):
It doesn't really feel like my firstgame, Like I feel like it's
just kind of another basketball game thatyou prepare for in the same way you
always have. Yeah, so costinga lot more to see the Indiana Fever.
There was a lot of outrage becausethe refs called two early fouls on
her when the game wait when shewent in, and so she was benched.
So everybody that was tuning in towatch the big game, she was
on the bench. She also watcheda call for traveling. Her dad did
(18:52):
all Okay, I mean I thinkshe it was still her first game,
but I don't I don't think sheperformed the way she wanted to. It's
the first game. Yeah, newteddling In, settling In. We now
know who the first Golden Bachelorette isgoing to be. It will be Joan
Vassos, the school administrator from marilyndShe is the Golden Bachelorette. I'm Joan,
(19:14):
and I'm your first Golden Bachelorette.I think it's a good choice.
Well, Riley picked it like weeksand weeks ago, right, she left
halfway through and she wasn't tainted atall by what happened between Gary and Theresa,
which was a complete and utter disaster. Yeah. I like the use
of the Natasha Bettingfield song. She'sdone a kiss concert remember that, Billy.

Yes, yes, this is NatashaBettingfield and I'm hanging with the incredibly
sexy Billy Costa. Take me Away, Billy Cato. Oh yeah, yeah,

written by Benny Blanco and ed Shearon. Benny talks about it. We were
on a tour bus from Canada toAmerica. We just got back from a
party and we're like drunk, andand there's that weird point where they're gonna
(20:59):
wake you up at the border intwo hours, so it doesn't make sense
to go to sleep. So wewere like, let's just write a song.
So we're sitting there in the back, we're writing it, and it
just doesn't feel genuine, and Iwas like, well, what's going on
in your life? He was like, ah, I don't want to write
what's going on in my life?And I said, well, why don't
we write a song about not wantingto write what's going on in your life?
And then that's where we came withthe line that I don't want to
(21:22):
write a song. I don't wantanyone thinking I still care. I don't,
cause then basically he was like,I don't want to give the satisfaction
to this girl that's on my mindright now, so I don't want to
write a song about it. AndI was like, well, let's write
a song about not wanting to givethe satisfaction to them. Yeah. He

loves like she loves a comfortable couch. So I took out the seats and
we put like a huge couch inthe front, and I had I was

com and there you go. Takeme away, Bailly Carson. Okay,
(25:33):
this is so cool, I thinkeasily the biggest story on Wall Street this
week is what happened with Game Stop. All of a sudden it is back,
and now our buddy Ben Meswick ison the phone. Ben you there,
Hello, Ben, you there morning? I'm oh here. Where'd you
(25:56):
go there? Ben? Hello?Ben? Lisa. Just so you know,
going forward after this interview, noneof us is ever speaking to you
again. But let's get the interviewout of the way. How is it
possible that the Game Stop thing thisweek people made millions. You didn't call
(26:18):
us and let us know what thisguy was going to be doing this week?
How was that possible. Ben,if I had known, I'd have
made millions yesterday too. Nobody knew. God Dave Portenoi made millions again.
Well maybe we'll see. We'll seeif they importantly gets that with millions.
So take us back, Ben,What was the original story of this Keith
Gills guy who now is known asRoaring Kitty. Yeah, so the original
(26:42):
story is a couple of years ago, during the pandemic, this dude in
Brockton and his basement who calls himselfRoaring Kitty. You know, he ties
a bandana around his head. Hestarted doing long live streams, like eight
hour long YouTube live streams about howmuch he was in love with game Stop
(27:02):
the company, how he believed itwas undervalued, how it was worth,
you know, way more than aWall Street was worth thought it was worth,
and how everyone was shorting it,like all the Wall Street you know,
hedge funds were shorting the heck outof game Stop. And all these
people on Reddit ended up being aboutnine million followers on Reddit just started buying
game Stop. And they did itbecause they were trying to, you know,
(27:25):
stick up a middle finger to WallStreet. They were very angry.
It's the midst of a pandemic andthe stock just went crazy. And so
back during the pandemic it went fromyou know, five dollars to five hundred
dollars. Wow, insane rally.So why did this guy have to disappear
for three years? Like well,I mean, whether he did have to
or not is still you know,under a discussion. But he was facing
(27:49):
a lot of different legal threats.You know, he ended up going in
front of Congress. It became thishuge thing. Where was he manipulating the
stock? Honestly, to me,he's kind of an American hero and that
he was fighting the good fight againstWall Street. Yeah, he was sort
of the people were rising up inthis kind of crazy sort of battle against
(28:10):
this hedge fund that ended up goingunder. But you know, I think
he just receded from public life becausehe had made about forty five million dollars
on GameStop, which was made himthe richest man in Brockton. Maybe,
Ben, I loved your movie andwe had a book club with you.
We did book in a movie atShowcase. But do you know if Keith
(28:30):
ever saw your movie? So I'mpretty rather he saw the movie. I
certainly know his brother saw the movie. His brother, you know, Pete
Davidson, Blaze's brother in the movie, which was pretty hysterical, and I
think his brother made some comments onInstagram that he he had, you know,
never worked for door Dash or something. But I don't know if that's
(28:51):
true or not. But but Keith, I've heard that there's a copy of
my book on the Mantle in theirhouse, and the screenwriters has been over
his house, so, you know, I don't know for sure what he
thought of the movie, but Ithought Caul Dano played him all. It
was just an awesome movie and stillon Netflix. Still on Netflix, so
you can still catch it. Ithink now's a good time to watch it.
Well, the fascinating thing about you, Ben is that you managed to
(29:15):
write the book which became a movieand you never met him. Well,
I mean I worked around him.I did have contact with his brother.
I knew a lot of people whoknew him in Brockton. I got to
people at Stonehill who knew him,so I was able to work all the
angles that I worked to tell astory. I mean, I did the
Social Network book without ever meeting Zuckerbergat the time. You don't always need
(29:40):
to meet the main character, butyou need to get close to them.
But I will say I did getvery in with the other side of the
story, the Hedge Fund, MelvinCapitol, Ken, Kenny Boy, all
of the sort of other characters inthe story. I was able to get
to and you know, through hisbrother and through the people around him,
I was able to build that sideof the story up. So this is
(30:02):
kind of cool. So you nevermet Roaring Kitty and he's got your book
on his mantle. Now, Lisanever met him, but she had the
book club. Do you think he'sgot a picture of Lisa Dunovan on his
mantle. I'm sure. I'm surehe's gonna tweet it out soon and that's
gonna be the next third of right, the book Club is going to go
way up. Yes, oh yeah, Lisa, if I were you right,
(30:23):
I would give yourself total credit formaking the whole thing. Everybody out
there who made hundreds of millions onGameStop has Lisa Dunovan to tank the club
exactly. I mean, it's completenuts what's going on right now, because
you know, literally, if youread the tweets he's been doing over the
past two days, there nobody actuallyeven knows what any of them. Mean,
(30:44):
he's tweeting mostly movie scenes with theword GameStop added in. You know,
he's got brave heart, lying therebeing tortured and yelling out game Stop.
I mean, it's all of thiskind of insanity that people are deciding
has means it's back baby, andeveryone's buying. But who knows where this
is going to go? I mean, they added ten billion dollars to the
(31:06):
value of game Stop in a day. It's becoming like ge overnight. Because
one guy in Brockton is tweeting aboutit. It shows that the markets are
completely a circus. Right now?You had a question, Ben, why
now? Yeah? Well, Imean that's a great question. Some people
are speculating that some of his legalissues went away and he's free to do
(31:27):
this. Other people are saying hejust got bored and he's been sitting in
his basement for thirty years. Youknow. I I say there's a fifty
to fifty chance that's actually his brotherwho got a hold of his account.
So Ben, based on oh,we don't know, based on what's happened
on Wall Street this week, doesthis mean you could have a sequel to
the book. You know, listen, the movie really is still out,
(31:49):
so I don't know if we're readyfor a sequel, but honestly, I'd
be happy to write one if ifhe's gives me a call. Well,
Ben, Well, Ben, Thisis from one of our listeners today.
I mean, it seems like everybody'smaking money on this but us. Last
week I got a engaged stock inan auction contract, which it pays more
than a regular stock. I madealmost fourteen hundred percent on the stock,
(32:13):
almost one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. We just cramey. I love it.
You know, a lot of peoplemade a fortune, a lot of
people are going to lose a fortune. It's going to be a mix of
the both. But if people,you know, right after he tweeted,
got in into options or got intothe stock, they goede a killing.
(32:34):
And who knows what's going to happennext. Nobody knows. I mean today
it could go wild one way orthe other. Elon Musk could weigh in
any minute. Now is what happenedlast time and send it over five hundred
Nobody knows. So, so we'llsee what happens in the next twenty four
hours. So a Lisa, youand Ben have an event tomorrow night,
Raising a Reader event. Yeah,it's the big Raising a Reader gala,
And I think we're going to seeeach other right then. Yeah, Yeah,
(32:55):
I'm really excited about that. Andit's a great charity supporting literacy and
books and all that kind of stuff. So Tanya and I'll be at a
table, and I'm psyched you'll bethere. It's going to be really really
funat it's a great you know,listen, people reading books is always the
most important thing because it's hard toget people to read books now. Ben,
early this morning Lisa gave me atip. She said, you might
have another movie on the way,another deal with a Stone. Yeah.
(33:17):
I just sold a big movie andbook to Emma Stone in a twenty four
And it's about that chess scandal whereMagnus Carlson, the greatest player in chess,
played this nineteen year old bad boyof chess and the kid beat him
and it became this giant cheating scandal. Is this the anal beads with the
vibrating beads? It is the storyin which the anal beats may or may
(33:39):
not have been used in the cheatings, which begs the question, Ben for
you to write the book. Willyou have to use the anal beads.
It's the morning wrap up on Billyand Lisa in the Morning, A thousand
bucks and some Kiss concert tickets VIPupfront tickets. Doesn't like a bad little
(34:00):
prize there h Kiss Concert's coming upJune first, ex Finity Center. It's
gonna be an amazing show. Youcan get your tickets Kiss went away dot
com. We're talking Doja Cat,Jason Derulo, Shine down, so many
more you can win them with us, of course on the tens like Deanna,
good morning, Deanna your caller twentyfive. Do you have a keyword?
I do it? Joan Joan isthe keyword. And now Deanna,
(34:22):
we're going to see you at Kissconcert, so please hold on, do
not hang up. Yeah, ProducerRiley told me that Deanna went to high
school with me or middle school withme so and now lives in Salem,
New Hampshire, like myself. Wow, she's followed. Maybe she's talking you
or I followed her right, Yeah, she probably moved there first. I've
(34:42):
only been there a couple of years. But anyway, kis Kis Concert's gonna
be amazing and the keyword there wasJoan, because Joan is the new Golden
Bachelorette, which, if you remember, young Riley Donnovan, Lisa's son not
to be confused with producer. Rileypredicted this. I really think that Joan
like five years down the line.I really don't think we're like finished with
her yet. I think he's gonnabe in our d M. I think
(35:06):
that they're gonna break up, andI think that Joan is gonna get back
into the picture. Yeah, Rileywas on the jone train early on,
so we had him on to kindof, you know, talk about that.
It's amazing to me that he pickedit weeks ago, months yeah,
months ago. Yeah, So wegot to have Riley back on when the
New Golden Bachelorette kicks off, whichis when, and ironically it's gonna happen
(35:28):
this fall. They're not saying when. Okay, okay, do you think
Gary the flat Tire will try tobecome a contestant. That's your theory and
you're sticking to it. No.ABC is done with Yeah, he had
they have to be. They gotto be. They're distant, distancing themselves
from him immediately. I think hisown family has done with them rational humiliation.
(35:51):
Yeah. The other big story nationallyand of course locally is the Karen
Reid case. Another day of testimony. Yesterday we had lawyer Catherine loft us
In. What I think about Catherineis she's a lawyer, so you know,
she has a TikTok page called notemy objection. But she's looking at
the case kind of like Lisa right, objectively, what's the evidence being presented,
what's not being presented, and kindof making a decision, you know,
(36:13):
in that way. Legally, Ican see that he's trying ad a
leally, is trying to lay afoundation. I think the defense clearly has
the upper hand stylistically and catching peoplein consistencies, and it doesn't it doesn't
help the calmwalth that many of thesecivilian witnesses are clearly defensive on the standard.
(36:34):
Yeah. We took a lot ofquestions for Catherine from our audience,
you know, from Billy and LisaNation. And we'll have Catherine again probably
next Wednesday, I think, Yeah, to take more questions. Sure,
every day there's more and more stuff. Yesterday was a black blog, a
black blob in the ground by theflagpole. Yeah, that's what she said
she saw, which was John O'Keefe'sbody. Well, yeah, apparently,
I don't think I want to hearthat if I'm in the courtroom as a
(36:57):
family member. Absolutely not. AndI think sometimes, you know, we
lose sight of that, or peoplelose sight of that. You know,
this guy lost his life, whichis tragic. And finally, listen,
we give a lot of love tothe Mayor of the South End. He's
one of our talk backers. He'skind of a I don't know, how
would you describe him. He's upbeating energy, gentleman of the South End.
(37:22):
Yeah, but he's like out ofour you know, I don't want
to like age him, but he'sout of our demographic, you would say.
You know, he's a little biton the older side, which we
like. But you know, weshow him some love. Oh, it's
the mayor of the South End.I'd like to make a musical request.

this genius? Doesn't even say,they won't even put their name on it.
They're super humiliated by their lack ofintelligence. Okay, let's keep it
positive here, Billy. Unbelievable.Anyway, we got weird stories coming up
next. If you're a Blue fanand your kid's a Blue fan like mine,
(05:23):
find out why blue fans are outraged. We got weird stories up next
on Kissy. All right, I'mgonna start in Las Vegas, Nevada,
and all you Bluey fans listen out, because parents are angry. When the
(05:44):
Dirt Dog Restaurant posted an event thatsaid that they were gonna have Bluey characters
at the restaurant, so more thanthree thousand people responded. People showed up,
they waited in line, and thenwere completely disappointed. Oh yeah,
the guy showed up in with likea hack costume, yeah, with his
beard showing, and the kids wereobviously screaming and unhappy. And I saw
(06:06):
him, I guess him. Thatwas The kids were distraught. Some kids
were crying, Some kids were upset, crying in their parents' shoulders. Yeah,
so I mean there shouldn't be youknow, this isn't the same show
that's coming like to the Bok thisweek. Oh yeah, this was,
you know, a separate thing.Yeah, this was an amateur event that
(06:27):
did not deliver. The guy's beardwas hanging out of the masket, was
all wrinkled and half on his face, and they had like the restaurant staff
members painting faces. Yeah, therewas no there was no ever put into
this. Well, the restaurant saysthey expected a couple of dozen people,
like three or four thousand people showedup. Yeah, they couldn't handle it.
It was a blue is a reallybig deal. It is really big.
I don't know if you saw thisMariner's game. I think it was
(06:48):
Monday night. So the batter foulsoff the pitch right, and the guy
in the crowd catches that ball right. The very next pitch, batter miles
it off. Same guy catches thesecond one. I lift the opposite way.
MJ. Melendez is into the corner, and you talk about a basket
(07:10):
catch, And it's true. Asfor hot start for that guy out there,
the one one one A little straightit out a little bit more let's
see into the corner. Oh wegot Jerry. Give that man a contract.
I mean, what's the what arethe chances of catching even one foul
(07:32):
ball? Have you ever tried tocatch one at a game? I've never
caught one. It's so difficult becauseyou tense up. I remember I was
sitting in the green Monster seats onceline Drive. I was with my son
Dylan. Line Drive home run intothe Monster, coming right at me,
and I'm like, I got this. My kid's young. I'm gonna be
a hero. It's still sizzling,you know. They hiss the line Drive
makes. I said, I'm notcatching that in front of him children,
(07:56):
humiliation. I ducked, go ahead, money, Okay, this I can't
believe I witnessed this. I sawtthis video last night on TikTok. There's
multi of them going around when he'sbefore you go on Whinnie. Yeah,
she's completely outraged at this video.She sent it to me ten times.
Just okay. So the Chiefs tickerHarrison Buckker. I think that's how you
say his name. He is veryreligious, and he spoke recently at a
(08:18):
graduation. I don't know the school, but I think it was like a
Catholic Christian School, and he basicallywas sitting there. I know you're gonna
play some of the audio justin butessentially he was telling the men to basically
don't fight against being emasculated, andwas telling the woman to lean into the
location of being homemakers. There waslike a scene of that more important than
(08:41):
their career. Yeah, it's actuallyis quite shocking. I think it is
you, the women who have hadthe most diabolical lives told to you.
How many of you are sitting herenow about to cross this stage and are
thinking about all the promotions and titlesyou are going to get in your career.
Some of you may go on tolead successful careers in the world,
but I would have entered to guessthat the majority of you are most excited
(09:03):
about your marriage and the children youwill bring into this world. I can
tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle. Is that a baby crying in the
background. Yeah? OK, Ijust want to make sure it'll be the
first to say that her life trulystarted when she began living her vocation as
a wife and as a mother.So I think you know, in life,
it's not about what you say,it's how you say it, yeah,
you know. And I think hejust could have said it a different
(09:24):
way. He could have said,you know, if your goals and your
aspirations are to like get that promotionand move up in your career, that's
fine. But if it's to bea housewife and you know, bear children,
okay, do that too, likemy right, and it's equally as
hard. It is. But heis ashamed though we all know he wasn't
saying that. And also, it'sa lot easier to be a housewife when
your husband kicks a football for millionsof dollars a year. Okay, we
(09:46):
don't have to come down to moneyand the money back. I at least
I think you can afford help.If your husband, you know, does
well like a sudden, you canafford to stay home. You can afford
to stay home and get help.But being a stay at home mom is
not it's a hard job. It'sa hard job. Her job is to
make a home, the American home. Right at the end of the day,
(10:07):
it is perhaps the most important jobin the world. How many years
will she have before the job getsher down? Oh yeah, will it
take her youth, her good looks? Her help will it's spoil her disposition
and finally wear her out. Youknow, I mean this in the most
respectful way possible, But just kickthe ball, buddy, Yeah, you
know what I mean. Why washe even invited? Well, I think
(10:31):
that was the I think it wassome Christians that it was the right audience.
But now it's twenty twenty four andeverything goes out to the world.
So okay, lease, what havewe got? All right? I can't
even believe that this happened. Butthere are a lot of commencement speeches going
on right now at colleges Well OneCollege in Buffalo, New York. Their
commencement speaker was an AI powered robotnamed Sophia. Thank you for having me.
(10:54):
It's a pleasure to be here inBuffalo at the Uville University. You're
a bit of background. I amSophia, a humanoid robot developed by Hanson
Robotics. I was designed to interactwith humans and engage in conversations, learning
and adapting through artificial intelligence algorithms.This is crazy. The students. I
(11:16):
think that they deserved better. Yeah, they agree, I agree to.
I would have taken hair something.Does It sounds like she's a lot of
fun man. Yeah, okay,I saw this video. I think most
of us have. Uh. Thisguy is on a flight in a Boss
actually in Los Angeles and decides tostring up a hammock and lie in the
(11:41):
hammock on Boss and of course itwent viral and now he's known as hammock
Guy. I would like to seethe sign of hamings we've got. We've
got a I can't see you,you can see you. Don't come on
that. I'm here. No,not, my god, my god,
(12:09):

You should see it. He wasstrapped up to the handrails up pretty
high and then he wouldn't get down, cooting himself into the hammock. In
the hammock. I mean, it'shilarious. You have to watch the video.
Sure the family is so froight thatthat's where he's landed. Uh.
Anyway, entertainment is coming up next. We've got a lot. Tom Brady
(12:33):
released his statement yesterday. Now he, I guess regrets a lot of what
went down at the roast and howit affected his kids. Uh, we've
got some of that and really reallycool conversation about so many of the artists
that we play on the station.Uh, Billy Blanco is going to join
us. I'm an idiot. I'mgoing home and we're back with Billy and
(13:01):
Lisa in the morning. It's goodkiss one away, well, thank you
so much, and we are back. You want to check in with the
mafia justin Yeah, absolutely so.Just after nine o'clock, we'll have Ben
Mezrick on, who you know obviouslyhe wrote the book which became a movie
about the Game Stop of Saga andall that stuff. That's back in the
news because one of the guys,the guy, the Roaring Kiddy guy who
you know pumped the stocks up forGame Stop and AMC is back around and
(13:26):
I just want to know, Billy, are you going to ask Ben why
he didn't give us a heads upon my first question? My first question.
Everybody's making money but us. Goodmorning, guys, Good morning,
This is Carlos, this tin.The talk back is not going to be
about it. I saw Chris Hansburgand the airport, or that I saw
people have his sex in the seaport. Yeah, this dine is about Gainst
(13:46):
Stop. Last week I got agage Stop in an auction contract which it
pays more than a regular stock.I made almost fourteen on the stock,
almost one hundred and thirty dogs,which is crazy. He made one hundred
and thirty thousand dollars last week onthe Game Stop. That's insane. Yeah,
(14:07):
Dave Porton, I put five hundredgrand I think you put five hundred
and five hundred Yeah, into GameStop in AMC. The reason why this
is so important is that Keith Gillhasn't been on social in three years and
then goes back on X on Sundaywith this post, and then everybody made
all this money and they have MaybeBen can explain this better, but in
(14:28):
the last couple of days, theykeep putting us stop on the trading because
they're trying to kind of control itfor Game Stop. And you know what's
crazy about this too is Ben toldus on this show he couldn't find this
guy, he got nothing from him, and now he just appeared. And
where do you think it all started? At least a none of his book
club. Come on, there wego. That's where it goes before you
(14:48):
get to your entertainment here, Billy, one of my favorite segments I want
to get to really quickly. Goodmorning it's the May of this South then,
and it's time for another segment ofI Heard it at the game bar
Well, a well known male popstar was videotaped at an LA party making
out with another male and they're shoppingaround the videotape but nobody will touch it.
(15:13):
He says, he's straight, straightstraight. I don't know i'd made
out with people at parties. Whatdo you guys think, let's discuss.
I know who it was. Iknow. I have only one guess.
I know what it was, BillyBlanco. I knew it. Now the
entertainment updates with a Billy Copstad.That's hilarious. It's good. So the
(15:33):
Boston Bruins still alive in the playoffsstill, however, facing elimination, they
beat the Panthers in Florida last night. Three too still trail the series three
games to Jeremy Swayman Awesome in thenets again, talks about the win.
I love energy. I could feelenergy, and to be honest, the
only thing that matters to me arethe guys in black and bold out there.
I would run through a wall ofthese guys. I do anything for
(15:54):
these guys to make a safe Sothat's all I'm caring about out there and
then to it's really special to getwins like that. So now we have
a Game six Friday night right herein Boston. Oh and by the way,
Friday morning on the Billy and LeasaMorning Show, we'll have tickets for
Game six in the TD Garden.Meantime, the Celts and the Cavs have
a Game five right here in Bostontonight. The Celts win tonight, they
(16:17):
advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.And how about the Boston women's professional hockey
team. They're in the finals againsteither Toronto or Minnesota. And Tom Brady
thinking the Brady roast well may havebeen a bit of a mistake. I
loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun.
(16:37):
I didn't like the way that affectedmy kids. So it's the hardest part
about like the bittersweet aspect of whenyou do something that you think is one
way and then all of a suddenyou realize I wouldn't do that again because
of the way that affected actually thepeople that I care about the most in
the world. When I signed upfor that, I love when people were
making fun of me, and Ialways said, like I was going through
(17:00):
all the the Flategate stuff in twentyfifteen. Twenty sixteen, I watched three
things on TV. I watched PremierLeague soccer, I watch golf, and
I watch comedy shows because every timeI turn on sports and I was like,
are you kidding me? So it'slike I just want to like laugh.
So, Lice, do you thinkhe got the call from Giselle or
he got a call from the kids. I think it was probably a call
(17:23):
from Giselle. But I find itinteresting that he never mentions Giselle in that
statement. It's the children only,which tell which is very telling to me
that he doesn't really care about heropinion and didn't care about any of the
comments regarding her, just the onesabout the kids. Correct. Well,
again to me, there wasn't reallymuch about the kids. I think it
(17:45):
affected the kids. They were hearingthis about their mom and they're marriage.
The only mention was that he leftthe kids to play football. There was
nothing dispiriting about children's being said.I want to mate it. It was
about it was about their family.That was raunchy stuff about their mother.
Yeah, yeah, well Kevin Hartdid say the kids, Yeah, those
kids, But That's what I thinkhe was getting at with Brady saying like,
(18:07):
oh, I'm gonna go play andwent be eight and nine like that
was funny. I mean he madecommon things. They made comments about him,
you know, abandoned, abandoning ahand in his family basically anyway,
Caitlyn Clark had her first regular seasongame with the Indiana Fever. She also
scored her first points and I'm excited. I think this is the best way
to do it. Just get outthere and go for it. You know.
(18:30):
It doesn't really feel like my firstgame, Like I feel like it's
just kind of another basketball game thatyou prepare for in the same way you
always have. Yeah, so costinga lot more to see the Indiana Fever.
There was a lot of outrage becausethe refs called two early fouls on
her when the game wait when shewent in, and so she was benched.
So everybody that was tuning in towatch the big game, she was
on the bench. She also watcheda call for traveling. Her dad did
(18:52):
all Okay, I mean I thinkshe it was still her first game,
but I don't I don't think sheperformed the way she wanted to. It's
the first game. Yeah, newteddling In, settling In. We now
know who the first Golden Bachelorette isgoing to be. It will be Joan
Vassos, the school administrator from marilyndShe is the Golden Bachelorette. I'm Joan,
(19:14):
and I'm your first Golden Bachelorette.I think it's a good choice.
Well, Riley picked it like weeksand weeks ago, right, she left
halfway through and she wasn't tainted atall by what happened between Gary and Theresa,
which was a complete and utter disaster. Yeah. I like the use
of the Natasha Bettingfield song. She'sdone a kiss concert remember that, Billy.
(19:42):
Yes, yes, this is NatashaBettingfield and I'm hanging with the incredibly
sexy Billy Costa. Take me Away, Billy Cato. Oh yeah, yeah,

show you the move jag of fine. See there you go. Lady Nice
(20:37):
Calls are some big songs right there. That's only a small sample. There's
so many more. The first songin that grouping was Bieber's Love Yourself,
written by Benny Blanco and ed Shearon. Benny talks about it. We were
on a tour bus from Canada toAmerica. We just got back from a
party and we're like drunk, andand there's that weird point where they're gonna
(20:59):
wake you up at the border intwo hours, so it doesn't make sense
to go to sleep. So wewere like, let's just write a song.
So we're sitting there in the back, we're writing it, and it
just doesn't feel genuine, and Iwas like, well, what's going on
in your life? He was like, ah, I don't want to write
what's going on in my life?And I said, well, why don't
we write a song about not wantingto write what's going on in your life?
And then that's where we came withthe line that I don't want to
(21:22):
write a song. I don't wantanyone thinking I still care. I don't,
cause then basically he was like,I don't want to give the satisfaction
to this girl that's on my mindright now, so I don't want to
write a song about it. AndI was like, well, let's write
a song about not wanting to givethe satisfaction to them. Yeah. He
also talked about his relationship with SelenaGomez and what he did for Valentine's Day.
(21:44):
So, I said, I wantto do something that she loves.
She loves movies, she loves soI rented out a movie theater and she
loves like she loves a comfortable couch. So I took out the seats and
we put like a huge couch inthe front, and I had I was
like, what are all her favoritefoods? So I thought of them.
You know, I hit. Ispoke with her grandma, I spoke with
her mom or best friend, andthis is what this is what I came
(22:08):
up with. I made her friedpickles. There, I brought a deep
fryer, everything, made her friedpickles. I got her all her favorite
taco bell I got her. Sheloves hot cheetos. I got her hot
cheetos. And then she loves movietheater nachos, so I brought in a
nacho machine and then we watched youknow, her favorite movie, like Growing
Up was almost famous, so wewatched Almost Famous. Yeah, okay,
(22:30):

days, and one of the cape'sbest beach bars. Go to Oceanedge dot
com and there you go. Takeme away, Bailly Carson. Okay,
(25:33):
this is so cool, I thinkeasily the biggest story on Wall Street this
week is what happened with Game Stop. All of a sudden it is back,
and now our buddy Ben Meswick ison the phone. Ben you there,
Hello, Ben, you there morning? I'm oh here. Where'd you
(25:56):
go there? Ben? Hello?Ben? Lisa. Just so you know,
going forward after this interview, noneof us is ever speaking to you
again. But let's get the interviewout of the way. How is it
possible that the Game Stop thing thisweek people made millions. You didn't call
(26:18):
us and let us know what thisguy was going to be doing this week?
How was that possible. Ben,if I had known, I'd have
made millions yesterday too. Nobody knew. God Dave Portenoi made millions again.
Well maybe we'll see. We'll seeif they importantly gets that with millions.
So take us back, Ben,What was the original story of this Keith
Gills guy who now is known asRoaring Kitty. Yeah, so the original
(26:42):
story is a couple of years ago, during the pandemic, this dude in
Brockton and his basement who calls himselfRoaring Kitty. You know, he ties
a bandana around his head. Hestarted doing long live streams, like eight
hour long YouTube live streams about howmuch he was in love with game Stop
(27:02):
the company, how he believed itwas undervalued, how it was worth,
you know, way more than aWall Street was worth thought it was worth,
and how everyone was shorting it,like all the Wall Street you know,
hedge funds were shorting the heck outof game Stop. And all these
people on Reddit ended up being aboutnine million followers on Reddit just started buying
game Stop. And they did itbecause they were trying to, you know,
(27:25):
stick up a middle finger to WallStreet. They were very angry.
It's the midst of a pandemic andthe stock just went crazy. And so
back during the pandemic it went fromyou know, five dollars to five hundred
dollars. Wow, insane rally.So why did this guy have to disappear
for three years? Like well,I mean, whether he did have to
or not is still you know,under a discussion. But he was facing
(27:49):
a lot of different legal threats.You know, he ended up going in
front of Congress. It became thishuge thing. Where was he manipulating the
stock? Honestly, to me,he's kind of an American hero and that
he was fighting the good fight againstWall Street. Yeah, he was sort
of the people were rising up inthis kind of crazy sort of battle against
(28:10):
this hedge fund that ended up goingunder. But you know, I think
he just receded from public life becausehe had made about forty five million dollars
on GameStop, which was made himthe richest man in Brockton. Maybe,
Ben, I loved your movie andwe had a book club with you.
We did book in a movie atShowcase. But do you know if Keith
(28:30):
ever saw your movie? So I'mpretty rather he saw the movie. I
certainly know his brother saw the movie. His brother, you know, Pete
Davidson, Blaze's brother in the movie, which was pretty hysterical, and I
think his brother made some comments onInstagram that he he had, you know,
never worked for door Dash or something. But I don't know if that's
(28:51):
true or not. But but Keith, I've heard that there's a copy of
my book on the Mantle in theirhouse, and the screenwriters has been over
his house, so, you know, I don't know for sure what he
thought of the movie, but Ithought Caul Dano played him all. It
was just an awesome movie and stillon Netflix. Still on Netflix, so
you can still catch it. Ithink now's a good time to watch it.
Well, the fascinating thing about you, Ben is that you managed to
(29:15):
write the book which became a movieand you never met him. Well,
I mean I worked around him.I did have contact with his brother.
I knew a lot of people whoknew him in Brockton. I got to
people at Stonehill who knew him,so I was able to work all the
angles that I worked to tell astory. I mean, I did the
Social Network book without ever meeting Zuckerbergat the time. You don't always need
(29:40):
to meet the main character, butyou need to get close to them.
But I will say I did getvery in with the other side of the
story, the Hedge Fund, MelvinCapitol, Ken, Kenny Boy, all
of the sort of other characters inthe story. I was able to get
to and you know, through hisbrother and through the people around him,
I was able to build that sideof the story up. So this is
(30:02):
kind of cool. So you nevermet Roaring Kitty and he's got your book
on his mantle. Now, Lisanever met him, but she had the
book club. Do you think he'sgot a picture of Lisa Dunovan on his
mantle. I'm sure. I'm surehe's gonna tweet it out soon and that's
gonna be the next third of right, the book Club is going to go
way up. Yes, oh yeah, Lisa, if I were you right,
(30:23):
I would give yourself total credit formaking the whole thing. Everybody out
there who made hundreds of millions onGameStop has Lisa Dunovan to tank the club
exactly. I mean, it's completenuts what's going on right now, because
you know, literally, if youread the tweets he's been doing over the
past two days, there nobody actuallyeven knows what any of them. Mean,
(30:44):
he's tweeting mostly movie scenes with theword GameStop added in. You know,
he's got brave heart, lying therebeing tortured and yelling out game Stop.
I mean, it's all of thiskind of insanity that people are deciding
has means it's back baby, andeveryone's buying. But who knows where this
is going to go? I mean, they added ten billion dollars to the
(31:06):
value of game Stop in a day. It's becoming like ge overnight. Because
one guy in Brockton is tweeting aboutit. It shows that the markets are
completely a circus. Right now?You had a question, Ben, why
now? Yeah? Well, Imean that's a great question. Some people
are speculating that some of his legalissues went away and he's free to do
(31:27):
this. Other people are saying hejust got bored and he's been sitting in
his basement for thirty years. Youknow. I I say there's a fifty
to fifty chance that's actually his brotherwho got a hold of his account.
So Ben, based on oh,we don't know, based on what's happened
on Wall Street this week, doesthis mean you could have a sequel to
the book. You know, listen, the movie really is still out,
(31:49):
so I don't know if we're readyfor a sequel, but honestly, I'd
be happy to write one if ifhe's gives me a call. Well,
Ben, Well, Ben, Thisis from one of our listeners today.
I mean, it seems like everybody'smaking money on this but us. Last
week I got a engaged stock inan auction contract, which it pays more
than a regular stock. I madealmost fourteen hundred percent on the stock,
(32:13):
almost one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. We just cramey. I love it.
You know, a lot of peoplemade a fortune, a lot of
people are going to lose a fortune. It's going to be a mix of
the both. But if people,you know, right after he tweeted,
got in into options or got intothe stock, they goede a killing.
(32:34):
And who knows what's going to happennext. Nobody knows. I mean today
it could go wild one way orthe other. Elon Musk could weigh in
any minute. Now is what happenedlast time and send it over five hundred
Nobody knows. So, so we'llsee what happens in the next twenty four
hours. So a Lisa, youand Ben have an event tomorrow night,
Raising a Reader event. Yeah,it's the big Raising a Reader gala,
And I think we're going to seeeach other right then. Yeah, Yeah,
(32:55):
I'm really excited about that. Andit's a great charity supporting literacy and
books and all that kind of stuff. So Tanya and I'll be at a
table, and I'm psyched you'll bethere. It's going to be really really
funat it's a great you know,listen, people reading books is always the
most important thing because it's hard toget people to read books now. Ben,
early this morning Lisa gave me atip. She said, you might
have another movie on the way,another deal with a Stone. Yeah.
(33:17):
I just sold a big movie andbook to Emma Stone in a twenty four
And it's about that chess scandal whereMagnus Carlson, the greatest player in chess,
played this nineteen year old bad boyof chess and the kid beat him
and it became this giant cheating scandal. Is this the anal beads with the
vibrating beads? It is the storyin which the anal beats may or may
(33:39):
not have been used in the cheatings, which begs the question, Ben for
you to write the book. Willyou have to use the anal beads.
It's the morning wrap up on Billyand Lisa in the Morning, A thousand
bucks and some Kiss concert tickets VIPupfront tickets. Doesn't like a bad little
(34:00):
prize there h Kiss Concert's coming upJune first, ex Finity Center. It's
gonna be an amazing show. Youcan get your tickets Kiss went away dot
com. We're talking Doja Cat,Jason Derulo, Shine down, so many
more you can win them with us, of course on the tens like Deanna,
good morning, Deanna your caller twentyfive. Do you have a keyword?
I do it? Joan Joan isthe keyword. And now Deanna,
(34:22):
we're going to see you at Kissconcert, so please hold on, do
not hang up. Yeah, ProducerRiley told me that Deanna went to high
school with me or middle school withme so and now lives in Salem,
New Hampshire, like myself. Wow, she's followed. Maybe she's talking you
or I followed her right, Yeah, she probably moved there first. I've
(34:42):
only been there a couple of years. But anyway, kis Kis Concert's gonna
be amazing and the keyword there wasJoan, because Joan is the new Golden
Bachelorette, which, if you remember, young Riley Donnovan, Lisa's son not
to be confused with producer. Rileypredicted this. I really think that Joan
like five years down the line.I really don't think we're like finished with
her yet. I think he's gonnabe in our d M. I think
(35:06):
that they're gonna break up, andI think that Joan is gonna get back
into the picture. Yeah, Rileywas on the jone train early on,
so we had him on to kindof, you know, talk about that.
It's amazing to me that he pickedit weeks ago, months yeah,
months ago. Yeah, So wegot to have Riley back on when the
New Golden Bachelorette kicks off, whichis when, and ironically it's gonna happen
(35:28):
this fall. They're not saying when. Okay, okay, do you think
Gary the flat Tire will try tobecome a contestant. That's your theory and
you're sticking to it. No.ABC is done with Yeah, he had
they have to be. They gotto be. They're distant, distancing themselves
from him immediately. I think hisown family has done with them rational humiliation.
(35:51):
Yeah. The other big story nationallyand of course locally is the Karen
Reid case. Another day of testimony. Yesterday we had lawyer Catherine loft us
In. What I think about Catherineis she's a lawyer, so you know,
she has a TikTok page called notemy objection. But she's looking at
the case kind of like Lisa right, objectively, what's the evidence being presented,
what's not being presented, and kindof making a decision, you know,
(36:13):
in that way. Legally, Ican see that he's trying ad a
leally, is trying to lay afoundation. I think the defense clearly has
the upper hand stylistically and catching peoplein consistencies, and it doesn't it doesn't
help the calmwalth that many of thesecivilian witnesses are clearly defensive on the standard.
(36:34):
Yeah. We took a lot ofquestions for Catherine from our audience,
you know, from Billy and LisaNation. And we'll have Catherine again probably
next Wednesday, I think, Yeah, to take more questions. Sure,
every day there's more and more stuff. Yesterday was a black blog, a
black blob in the ground by theflagpole. Yeah, that's what she said
she saw, which was John O'Keefe'sbody. Well, yeah, apparently,
I don't think I want to hearthat if I'm in the courtroom as a
(36:57):
family member. Absolutely not. AndI think sometimes, you know, we
lose sight of that, or peoplelose sight of that. You know,
this guy lost his life, whichis tragic. And finally, listen,
we give a lot of love tothe Mayor of the South End. He's
one of our talk backers. He'skind of a I don't know, how
would you describe him. He's upbeating energy, gentleman of the South End.
(37:22):
Yeah, but he's like out ofour you know, I don't want
to like age him, but he'sout of our demographic, you would say.
You know, he's a little biton the older side, which we
like. But you know, weshow him some love. Oh, it's
the mayor of the South End.I'd like to make a musical request.
A musical icon is coming to Bostontomorrow, Miss Diana Ross is coming tomorrow,
(37:43):
