Well, good morning everybody. Welcomeinto the Billion Lisa Morning Show. This
is the midweek version. This isthe Wednesday version of the show. And
by the way, today is NationalBanana Day. Banana Morning. Come,
I'm gonna celebrate the banana this morning. I haven't figured out how, but
(00:27):
why not. My first job asan intern in the radio business was retrieving
ten bananas every single morning for myboss, who would then eat all ten
bananas between six and ten as areyou kidding me? Every sas ten bananas.
That's a lot of potassium. Andalso this person that was very specific
(00:48):
there could be no green so evenif they were a little bit green,
So I had to sometimes go tothree or four different stores in the morning
you get the bananas. No,he would sit there and watch him eat
ten bananas like a monkey. Youwere an intern at the time. Yeah,
we don't have any turns anymore.That was an overreach. It was
the well known banana controversy. Ithought being the muffin bitch was bad,
(01:11):
but damn, that's like that wasthe banana bitch. Oh wow, wow,
God, now I'm glad I broughtup banana Day. I love some
banana bread. Maybe I just boughtsome banana bania. Oh you know who
has pretty decent banana bread? Isthere's a place up the street. I
(01:33):
can't name it, but thank youfor that drive up to. My mother
makes a great banana bread. Justkeep driving around the neighborhood. Smell banana
bread. Oh, a good bananabread. There's nothing like it. Right
in the morning with a cup ofcoffee. Oh yeah, So anyway,
Yeah, I wasn't expecting the bananathing to be that big a deal,
(01:53):
but now it is. But there'snothing worse than a green banana. Well
you gotta wait around for it.Yeah. You put it in a pitper
bag, it will brown quicker.Yeah really yeah, it like takes out
the oxygen. Well there's some importantbanana information. Yeah. Yeah, bananas
are fantastic superfood for energy cars.Oh, you put them in smoothies,
(02:16):
and every single smoothie, regardless ofwhat it is, should have some banana.
Yeah. Well, the Savannah bananasare coming to Fenway. And then
there's you know, when you thinkof it, the Savannah bananas celebrate bananas
every day. They're actually bananas.Yeah. Is there a place to get
(02:37):
good banana stuff? You know whohas pretty decent banana bread is there's a
place up the street anyway, there'sthat. It's one of the Savannah Bananas
coming back eight. Wow, hardto get ticket. You can't get them.
You have to go into a lotteryin September for next year. Really.
(02:57):
Yes, Lisa got my son enablea shirt. Yeah shirts. I
brought it home. He's so excited. And Jen goes, oh, you
should get tickets to that. Youcan't touch me. You can't touch you,
understand. Yeah. By the way, a year ago, Lisa got
me a Savannah Bananas T shirt.And when I tell you, and I'm
not exaggerating because I tend to exaggeratesometimes anytime I wear it, I get
(03:22):
compliments. Oh my god, Ilove your T shirt. Where'd you get
that? That was a gift fromLisa. Well, it's unique. Topic
Time is coming up this morning.That's our new deal. Okay, we

We all have them. We allhave them, So that's one of
the topics. So feel free tocall in with your nightmare six one seventy
(03:44):
nine three one one one away orjust send a talk back about it right
justin Yeah, you gotta It's reallyeasy. Just listen on the iHeart app
and this little red microphone little playbutton. You just tap that, send
your message, and we talk alot about you know, you go to
a restaurant, everybody's get their cellphone out. It could be a group
of people. Everybody's on their owncell phones. There is a restaurant where
if you give up your phone,hand in your phone, they will hand
(04:08):
you a free bottle of wine.Yeah. They're creating a tech free atmosphere.
And the cool thing is that ninetysomething like that of people accept it.
They put their phone away and theyeat with no phone and they get
the free bottle of wine. Well, wine's expensive. I would do it,
Yeah, I would do it.It's more to encourage you know,
human contact. You know, that'sthe idea. I love it. Yeah,
(04:31):
speak to the family at dinner.Well, it's like when you go
to a comedy show, they takeyour phones. I want to see Shane
Gillis. Yeah, when he knowsthis, they take your phone, so
you just enjoy exact show, youknow. Yeah, So there's there's the
question, would you give up yourphone for a free bottle of wine.
I guess it depends on how goodthe wine is. We've got Kiss concert

I don't know. Wow, let'sget some talk packs in justin before we
do entertainment. Well, it's NationalBanana Day. We've got to celebrate this
big day. Hey, guys,Happy Banana Day. Do any of you
guys peel your banana from like thebar them up? I've always been like
(06:00):
a pull down person from the top, but I do see videos on it,
and I'm just wondering if anyone actuallydoes that. Well, to do
that, wouldn't you have to likecut the end of the bottom off?
Yeah, right, because otherwise you'dnever get the peel open. Yeah.
I usually do top down. Yeah, I've never met anybody that does bottom
up. You guys, do youguys bite the banana or do you break
(06:21):
it off? Oh? Saving thatone time. Okay, it's a valid
question. Yeah, I think itdepends on my mood. I bite it,
but sometimes I'll break it. Itreally is. It's a toss up.
I usually break it. Yeah,it never crossed my mind to break
it. Really. Okay, getright in there, Bill, you gotta
(06:44):
get in bye. Okay, thatsettles that question. Talking a lot about
the banana, I've never seen justina lot. I mean, it's National
Banana Day. I don't know.I don't know what else to say.
We must celebrate. Yeah, we'llget some bananas or something and we'll them
from the bottom. And I don'tknow, No, we need banana bread.
Billy's gonna bite it hard. Justhit the sound of now the entertainment
(07:09):
updates with Billy Costa. Okay,the Bruins are onto the playoffs Game one
Saturday night against the Maple Leafs.They lost to Ottawa last night. At
the game, though, they honoredand they celebrated Jack Edwards, who is
retiring from the broadcast booth from highabove the ice. His iconic voice became
(07:30):
synonymous with countless moments in Ruin's history. Jack's charisma, passion, and presence
in the booth will absolutely be missedtonight. Both Nelson and the Boston Bruins
want to thank Jack for his serviceand wish him all the best as he
transitions into retirement. God, heis so good. This was Jack last
(07:54):
night. The game keeps speeding up, Walleye keep blowing down, and it's
time to get off the ice.And I've had a good shift and fresh
legs need to cowboy over the boards. Yeah, you know what. I
(08:15):
respect the fact that you know he'sstepping away. Yeah, you know he
knows, you know, there's somethinggoing on, and you know, you
mean forty five years Yeah, onthe air, you know, such a
nice gone, so much energy.Yeah. Uh, Jack wanted to come
on the show this morning. Wewere texting back and forth. He didn't
get home until after midnight. AndI gotta say this, if Jack had
come in this morning or even calledin, uh, we would have featured
(08:39):
a highlight reel. So I saywe do it anyway. Handle with those
commisifs shot, jeto more shot scores, my two goals with the going ball,
lead runs and showing hearts a liveshave tied that great train. Always
such a he's such a homer.Get over it. You go to hockey
(09:05):
games to get excited. Did yousay he didn't He didn't couldn't come on
because he got in late and hewas tired. Yeah, you know you
should have said to him. He'scalled in a lot over the years.
Yeah, he's just he's just sucha good guy. I was like,
definitely thrilled to be able to visithim in the booth a few times,
to watch him at work. Hewas and is such a perfectionist. I
(09:31):
mean his game preparation. He's therehours before the game and he's got screens
in front of him with all thestats, he's got all the books and
the notes out in the open andhe'm totally focused. And boys, I
don't know how they're going to replaceJack. I don't know either. But
you know, some of the criticismthat he got was that he was biased.
Yeah, of course he was.He was a Bruins fan, of
(09:52):
course, die hard Ruins. Yeah, okay, so obviously there's a different
difference in his speech. Clearly,I don't watch the Bruins by you heard
the clips whatever, But they're sayingthey don't know what it is. They've
run every test imaginable and they can'tgive them any that is. I feel
for him to not know then haveI mean, your job, you know,
(10:15):
I mean obviously it played to factorhis retirement. Yeah, for sure.
Anyway, Bros leaves game one Saturdaynight. Selts have a game one

amazed to find out who and whatin the league are making more money than

Travis that coach. Oh yeah,yeah, yeah, it's so funny hearing
(15:50):
it. At one point, Tayloris like, I'm so drunk right now.
You know, she's a regular person. I love her in this new

one point where they were in thecrowd and she says something like Travis like,
oh the love this spot. She'snever in the crowd. Yeah,
(16:14):
why would she? And speaking ofgame shows, this to me is bizarre.
Gary and Teresa from The Golden Bachelorare going to be featured on Celebrity
Family Feud well even though they're divorced, because they taped the show. Yeah,
but but still ratings. I'd watchit with percent to see if there
are any clues that they were breakingup. Who else is going to be

Yeah, well probably some people fromher Yeah. Kids, he's got two
daughters against each other? Are they? They don't think you're the same team,
So he's got two daughters. Onetime, the Kardashians did it verse.
It was like Cam and Kanye versusthe rest of the Kardashians, So
it was like half and half.I didn't know how to did it.
And Katy Perry is saying it again, she's leaving American Idol. She said
(17:02):
this about thirty four times already,but this looks like the real time,
and I like this. She's suggestingthat jelly roll would be a great replacement.
I bet if you've never seen thevideo of Jelly Roll on Joe Rogan
explaining to Joe about Iam Tong,the winner of American Idol last year.
His audition tape is it was guaranteedto make you cry. So that's a
little funny, okay. So Ithink jelly Roll is great fit. And

She's going to play the old PriscillaI do, and Liam Neeson will
play Frank Dreben, Lieutenant Frank Drebin, the cop. Do I have to

one seven nine three one one oneOh wait. As always, you know
(18:55):
the rules, you need the keyword, and the keyword, Producer Riley,
is bananas. And it's bananas becausetoday is a national holiday. Yeah,
it's National Banana Day and there's manyways to eat bananas. I love bananas.
I'm with you, guys, Buthow do you like them? Like
green or just yellow or the speckledbrown. Everybody likes them so differently,
(19:19):
And I love to eat my bananawhole and just swallow. Oh wow,
that's a good girl. Yeah.I don't like them green. I don't
like correction, no one likes themgreen. No, there are people that
like them green's. It'll give youan instance stomach ache a green banana.
I'm not sure if it's one hundredpercent true for all people from the Dominican
(19:41):
Republic, but I had a coupleof Dominican friends, and that's how they
ate the bananas green. You seea lot of green bananas there and in
the Caribbean. But I don't thinkthey're bananas like we have bananas. They're
called something else. But they're reallykind of bitter tasting. Yeah, yeah,
I don't like it. I don'tlike them too brown either. I
don't either think it really mushy.No, I like a little bit a
few specs is okay, No,too mushy. When they're too mushy,
(20:03):
then it's time to use them foryour banana bread. Oh, the banana
bread and the banana bar. Oryou can cut them up, freeze them
and then put them in smoothies laterif you're if they're too brown to eat.
Celebrating the banana today. Yeah,the banana bread and Billy you know
who has pretty decent banana bread isthere's a place up the street. I
can't name it. By the way, is there a single reason that you
(20:30):
haven't played Gwen Stefani? But yeah, right, give me one reason you
have ignored that song in the middleof this banana celebration. Well, I
played the Beetlejuice one because that's beenin my head because obviously the Beetlejuice sequels
coming out. I like that one. But if you want the Gwen one,
fine, yes, So then there'sthe other other discussion about how do
(20:56):
you peel the banana? You thinktop to bottom, right, of course
you do. Well, No,apparently going from the bottom up is popular
too. I didn't know that.Good morning everybody. Just going back to
the banana thing. I peel bananasfrom the bottom up. I had seen
a video on it, and itis so much easier to peel the banana.
(21:18):
You do not have to cut thebottom off. If you've ever tried
to like peel the banana from thetop and it's like it's really hard,
sometimes the bottom is the best.How can you do it from the bottom
without cutting the tip off because there'snothing to grip there's just sorry, I
just can't even imagine window going on. I'm having a hard time falling along.
(21:42):
Apparently you can't. We should tryit. We should get some bananas
and try it. Yeah, allright, that's what we should do.
Is that a banana in your pocket? All right, let's go to mine
two Shane Coller twenty five. JustHi, Shannon, Hey, Shannon,
Billy Hi, Shannon. Oh,I'm sorry. I was still laughing at
the previous joke. No, noproblem. Yeah. Have you had bananas
(22:06):
recently, Shannon? No, they'vebeen stair rocking price. Oh oh they're
very expensive now bana? Oh god, sorry Shannon. Well, the good
news is that you've got kiss contracttickets, providing you can give me the
keyword banana is banana. Blonde walksdown the street. She's a banana peel
and she says, here we goagain. Boy, we're covering all sides,
(22:33):
aren't we. I think we needto move along with Yeah, let's
just move the idulation. Shannon wasin the news. But there's these new
shared living spaces in Boston that gotus talking. Someone's making a lot of
money with this idea, So we'lldiscuss it right after. Oh, this
is Noacon, I mean a bigmistake. Yesterday I introduced dial drunk Noah
Con post malone, yes just postmalone, and people were angry. Oh
(22:57):
I'm a Noah Coan fan. Allright, I made a little slip slighted,
no accounts half right, Okay,but it is a Noah Con song,
as is this. It's stick season, Lisa Kiss. Rent prices are
sky high in the Boston area,so a lot of people are looking for
unconventional housing. In fact, somepeople are not trying shared living spaces to
(23:18):
make ends meet. Yeah, sothese shared living spaces like five twenty five
Lincoln Allston seven Inc. In BostonSouth and could help provide affordable No.
I put that in quotes because itdepends on what you think is affordable for
young professionals and keep them working andliving in Boston. So basically, a
shared community living community is where youhave your own bedroom, but then you
(23:42):
share a kitchen, you share aliving room, and in some cases,
and we need to ask our personon hold, do you share a bathroom?
So this is like dormitory. It'sa rooming house essentially. I lived
in rooming houses, right, Soit's basically an extension of the dorm.
Basically, that's that's how you livedin college or a frat house or a
(24:02):
frat house. Yeah. So we'rewatching this story on the news yesterday and
we see that they started viewing theproperty manager. Yes, okay, which
his name is Chris, right.All we hear about every day is basically
the lack of housing. So theyhave so Winnie and I looked, we
hear this is that is that liesin fairy tales? Chris from the talk
back Mafia lies in fairy tales andturns out what it is. And we've
(24:26):
got Chris Fernandez on the phone rightnow. Hey, Chris, good morning.
Hye, how's it going. Liesin fairy tales? Baby in fairy
tales? Okay, Chris, youneed to go ahead. And I say
one thing I had called earlier sayingthat we weren't going to crown the mayor
(24:47):
of the South and as the talkbackerof the year, I'm ready to concede
because he's crushing it so he canbe talkbacker of the year and we have
our first concession, our first dropout of campaign. That's really big of
you, Chris. Yeah. SoChris, you need to explain this and
defend this because you're talking about hypotheticallya four bedroom apartment and you will sign
(25:12):
four separate leases. Yeah, soit's three or four bedrooms, and basically
it's that co living model. Sowhat's happening is there literally is just not
a enough housing or be uh notany type of housing that you can actually
afford. So what happened happens isyou could be let's say apartment two oh
(25:34):
four and you could rent apartment twofour A, B or C. And
in some cases the bedroom will havean attached bathroom. Now I would need
an attached bathroom because I have awhole skincare routine. I got it on
the product. I got a moisturize. Every night, I'm going to bed
(25:55):
covered in basoline, So I needmy bathroom. So to be clear,
Chris, is you would a premium. Yeah. But to be clear,
Chris, besides being the lies andfairy tales person on our show, talk
about Chris, you're one of therealtors dealing in all this. He's a
party manager. Yeah. So basicallyI'm renting out and managing the building.
So that's what I'm doing here.Yeah. OK, So the age range,
(26:21):
what is it for the people thatare doing this pretty much, well,
we'll rent to anybody that has aneed and that qualifies. But basically
it's really young professionals that have likejust graduated that literally need to be somewhat
near the city and can't afford it. So everyone that's like a recent grad
(26:41):
if they're here for like like aninternship or like a specific time frame like
program or fellowship. Everybody is likedoing a grad programmer like be You or
Harvard, they can literally just comehere for that sat amount of time,
whether it be nine months twelve months. They don't have to worry about any
(27:02):
furniture. Everything is furnished. Wecover all the utilities, and the furniture
is nice. It's like substantial furniture. I mean you think about like when
you first graduated, you have tolike move in with roommates. Anyways,
you were like sourcing couches on Craigslist. You have to go on Facebook marketplace
to buy winnies stained rugs. We'regoing to give all that to you.
(27:26):
Plus and plus you don't have toargue about utilities like who's paying what,
and yeah, the property pays foreverything. So you literally just like bring
your clothes, bring your toothbrush.We do buy monthly apartment cleanings too,
so it's kind of like a longterm hotel if you think of it.
Okay, but Chris, I loveyou. I'm not coming at your job.
(27:47):
But at the end of the day, you're still asking almost two thousand
dollars per room. Correct. Correct? Yeah, Well the least expensive option
is nineteen twenty five. Does thatinclude a bathroom or no bathroom? No
bathroom? Wow? And that's whereI have an entry because chrism to hang
(28:08):
up. Now, get a fourbedroom, two bath for four thousand in
each pay a thousand. Yeah,but the quality of what you're getting is
way better than being like in atriple decker in Brighton, where you don't
have any maintenance help. You haveto pay for your utilities. You have
you paid a gas or electric.So lately it's like, Chris, I
(28:32):
think it's talk about the amenities inthe building. Well, you get to
see me every day, and I'mhilarious. I basically do a stand up
routine for you every morning while you'regetting a coffee. Then we have a
gym, we have like tons oflike little work pods or like study areas.
(28:53):
Again, the maintenance aspect is likesuper convenient because you just like style
a number and like someone will helpyou with literally anything. Yeah, we
have concierge security. We have anawesome roof deck that just looks right over
the Boston Skyline. We do haveparking available. Yeah, it's really I
(29:14):
understand what the argument is because,like you said, it is affordable inspotations.
But I mean, at the endof the day, you can literally
not afford anything really in that pricepoint, or that nothing exists in that
price point. So it's actually beenreally successful. We've only been open three
months and we're almost halfway least.Wow, there's there's definitely a need.
(29:38):
Listen, I have nothing. I'mall for it. I'mike winning. You
know, you can't knock the hustle, you know what I mean. They
got the they're making money. Itsounds Yeah, you don't need to be
a criminal to live here. Wewould actually prefer if you weren't. But
I can bring my record with me. Oh one more question, Chris,
(29:59):
is there a minimum amount of timeyou can lease? We're flexible. We
prefer obviously like six to twelve months, but if you come by you name
drop Billy and Lisa. Oh,I have to work with you. This
is awesome. I love it,Chris. I love it, especially for
people that just graduated from college,like millennials, Like you're single, you
like want to have a little adventure, You're meeting new people. I think
(30:22):
it's perfect. I think they're goingto be a lot of ragers up on
that rooftop. I'm just silly,not on my watch live in Fairytale.
I love it. Oh, we'recoming up on topic time. We gave
you a couple of hot topics earlierthis morning. One of them is we

The other is would you give upyour cell phone at a restaurant if they
gave you a free bottle of wine. Let's start with vacation nightmares justin Well,
yeah, this came from one ofour talkbackers. So you know,
we encourage you to provide topics forus. I mean, listen, we
can come up with our own topics, but with that caring from you guys.
Hey, guys, I have atopic that you could use for topic
(31:33):
time for our stories on vacation.Things that happened that were not expected that
really ruined your vacation might be fun. Yeah, before we go to the
phones and the talkbacks, any ofyou guys have a vacation Josh, I
just ask Lisa innocently off the air, and she gave me seven straight.
One of the last ones, Timgot sick. Your husband, Yeah he
got sick. Well, he getssick a lot. Yeah, I got
(31:56):
a parasite. But the other one, the standout was my tripped on a
towel at the pool and went headfirstinto the stone staircase. I remember that
and we ended up having to rushhim to a Mexican urgent care center where
no one spoke English, and wewere there for hours and he had to
get stitches, and then as hecouldn't go swimming for the rest of the
(32:16):
trip. That was a major nightmare. Jim fainted. Yeah, Tim fainted
on that on that incident. Therewas so much blood it was. It
was really bad. Yeah, Ihave a cup of I have a bunch
of them. But I think Itold the one recently whe where I went
scuba diving on a chartter off acruise ship and then when I came back
from scuba diving, the cruise shiphad already left and abandoned me in the
(32:39):
south of France or something I thinkit was. But it was another one
where we were vacationing. My boyswere very young. We went to Pee
Town and it was an awesome trip, but Alex was like five or six
years old. He got lost forover an hour. We couldn't find the
entire town was looking for told methis story. Yeah, yeah, there
was. There was panic right overan hour, and everybody him he was
(33:01):
I strictly said, no matter whathappens, no one goes back to the
boat, okay, because the boatwas kind of far down the dock,
so we were looking everywhere, andfinally I said is it possible He ignored
me and I went down and hewas playing a video game. You have
to understand the whole town was mobilized, right. I assumed he had been
(33:22):
taken, Like I was freaked out, all of a suddenly turned into Liam
Neeson. Yeah, oh my god. Yeah, crazy story. Disaster vacation.
Jack Murray twenty nine years old misseda flight on Friday. I believe
it was to get down to DCfor my brother's engagement, which I was
(33:45):
the best man. Got there intime of the engagement party, but only
to realize that when I was leavingon Sunday, I was late for my
flight, Missed that one, latefor another flight, missed that one,
slept in the terminal, got homeon Monday am for work. What's what's
the story here? That's his fault. He keeps sleeping through the flights.
(34:05):
You're missing three flights. I thinkhe was probably having a good time.
Yeah, a little too much ofa good time. Yeah. My husband
and I had a nightmare vacation storyin Cabo our last night there. We
both got food poisoning and had anearly morning flight. Luckily mine hit about
an hour or so before his did, so we could function enough to get
everything together a made for trash bags. So terrible. You don't want to
(34:35):
get sick on vacation. The parasitething, Oh no, yeah, it
doesn't stop. There were actually people, Lisa that you mentioned this yesterday with
the parasite. I did get requestsfrom listeners. I don't know if you
want to do this to elaborate moreon the parasite about what I ate it
gave me. I think it wasroth shrimp. I had like a savice.
(34:55):
I'm thinking it was that. Yeah, and then you just are completely
bedridden, throwing up, you know, going to the bathroom constantly. It
doesn't end until you get medical attention. And then they give you a really
strong antibiotic and this other pill thatyou have to take. So it's not
like the twenty four hour bug.Oh no. This lasted all seven days
(35:17):
and to the point where I said, I think I need to go to
the hospital because I'm not getting better. And then that's when they give you
all the medication. Then there aresoiled clothes. Yeah, so bad.
I get a lot of soiling.It's so bad. Yeah, all right,
let's go to the phone. Jessica. Line three, Jessica what do
you want to add to this?Was it a vacation nightmare? Yes?
(35:40):
Go so me and my boyfriend.Me and my boyfriend are big Baltimore Orioles
fans, so we go down therepretty frequently. Stained and when we were
down there, we were riding aroundon they have like little stooters that you
could rent to go around the city, and we stopped to take a picture
and a bunch of kids to likestore us. There were like twenty kids
coming at us between the ages ofthe maybe like ten to eighteen, and
(36:06):
they were going after the scooters andwe were like, no, we're using
those. So when we tried tograb the scooters from them, they proceeded
to basically beat us up and attackus. Oh I'm sorry. The police
got involved and they had to driveus back to our hotel, and it
was it just ruined our trip.Now when you say they beat you like,
(36:29):
what are we talking about here?They pulled a gun on my Baltimore
and Baltimore. If you ever watchedthe show The Wire, then you know
Baltimore. Oh boycy Nancy, whathave you got for us? It's topic
(36:50):
time? Okay, So work travelstory. Ever, I loved Jet Blue
when we could stop by saying thattravel to Florida, first flight out in
the day, last flight home.My husband doesn't do this. So we
leave from Boston. It's the winter, flights of delay, flights of delay.
(37:10):
We finally get our connecting flight.We it's literally still sitting on the
Comac and there's thirty of us inthere, and they sold our seats.
Sits there. Yeah, which happens, I guess, but yeah, six
hours till the next flight. It'squarter twelve midnight and we've been sitting there
(37:31):
all that time. So my husbandis severely agitated with this. Get We
get to our destination in Orlando.The rental co place is closed now.
It's about one th in the morning, so he flags down in Uber,
gets over, gets our rent tocars, drives to our friend's post.
So this has been like a seventeenhour ordeal. We get here and he
(37:55):
starts to say, I think I'mhaving a heart attack. God, wife,
I'm like, no, you know, honey, just laid down the
suck it up, shut up,no morning, go to breakfast, still
(38:15):
compleating. Well, he ended uphaving a heart attack just from the flood
wheel. It was. It wasjust crazy. How's he doing. Now
he's to He ended up having astint put in, so there you know,
it really happened, and he spentfour days of our vacation in the
hospital in West PM. Wow.Wow, that is a nightmare. Yeah,
(38:37):
but I'm glad he's okay, youknow what, so would I.
It was awful, but it's sothe day he gets out, we're sitting
coolside having having drinks, having painkillers, and the doctor said, take
it easy, take it easy.So of course, now we're all getting
buzzed. We go out and hegot four days of being in the hospital
(39:00):
to make up for it. We'retrashed. We're like literally, true,
yes he has my husband supposed youknow, we're supposed to be taking it
easy and it's the total opposite.Well, you could have kept a better
eye on him. Come in.I'm just saying, God, that reminded
me of my wife, be anyI mean, stop being a baby,
(39:21):
yeah, grow a pair, stopbeing a bitch, you know, but
she reminds me of another nightmare Ihad flown. I was trying to get
to my buddy, my Crocket's birthdayin Saint John. I flew down to
San Juan. I was supposed toget a puddle jumper over to Saint John
or to Saint Thomas. Uh.When I tell you, I was there
(39:42):
three hours before the flight and theytold me, oh, we sold your
tickets. And I'm like, what, I'm the only one here. There's
no one else here. And turnsout I was stranded for the night.
There were no other flights going down. I even saw a guy at the
airport saying, you know, Iknow a guy that has private I was
gonna pay for a pl you knowit's a puddle jumper. Couldn't so they
I said, so what am Isupposed to do? They gave me a
(40:04):
voucher for a hotel. I takethese car to the hotel we're pulling up.
I said, is this a hookerhotel? Because the hookers were up
and down the street like a parade. And I said, get me out
of here, and I had themtake me to a bigger hotel. Never
got reimbursed. All right, we'reout of We'll just go to Amanda real
quick. All right, Amanda,real quick. Go Hi. So I
(40:29):
was flying out of Boston a fewyears ago going to Punta Kana. We're
about two and a half hours intothe flight, it was about like five
hour flight. They come on theintercom and they say there's a safety censor
going off. One of the doorsmight be open. For everyone's safety,
(40:50):
we have to turn around and goback into Boston. So turn the plane
around, went back to Boston,back there for like two to three hours
so they could inspect the plane,and then proceeded to restart the five hour
flight back to Pundakana and everything wasfine. But we locked a whole day
to day that sucks. Do youever notice for topic time, it's always
(41:15):
one of the topics that dominates,but we can still float that other topic
out there for the rest of theshow. Anybody that wants to reach out,
you know, if you would yougive up your phone for dinner,
you know, to have a morehuman experience. Restaurant Italy is doing it
and they're having a lot of successto give it a free bottle of wine
if you give up your phone upfor dinner. But really it's all about
these vacation stories. I'm living forfirst the last time I went to Mexico,
(41:37):
what was a group of my friendsand my boyfriend of about one year,
and I was in the bathroom feelingsick. I went to throw up
because I must have eaten something.And while I threw up, it came
out to the other end at thesame time, everywhere and all over myself,
all over the ground. And theonly door in that whole entire hotel
(41:57):
room was the bathroom door that wasglass, so my boyfriend could see everything.
And I literally was from Bridesmaids,don't look at me. Oh,
oh my god. You know thatwas toxic.
Well, good morning everybody. Welcomeinto the Billion Lisa Morning Show. This
is the midweek version. This isthe Wednesday version of the show. And
by the way, today is NationalBanana Day. Banana Morning. Come,
I'm gonna celebrate the banana this morning. I haven't figured out how, but
(00:27):
why not. My first job asan intern in the radio business was retrieving
ten bananas every single morning for myboss, who would then eat all ten
bananas between six and ten as areyou kidding me? Every sas ten bananas.
That's a lot of potassium. Andalso this person that was very specific
(00:48):
there could be no green so evenif they were a little bit green,
So I had to sometimes go tothree or four different stores in the morning
you get the bananas. No,he would sit there and watch him eat
ten bananas like a monkey. Youwere an intern at the time. Yeah,
we don't have any turns anymore.That was an overreach. It was
the well known banana controversy. Ithought being the muffin bitch was bad,
(01:11):
but damn, that's like that wasthe banana bitch. Oh wow, wow,
God, now I'm glad I broughtup banana Day. I love some
banana bread. Maybe I just boughtsome banana bania. Oh you know who
has pretty decent banana bread? Isthere's a place up the street. I
(01:33):
can't name it, but thank youfor that drive up to. My mother
makes a great banana bread. Justkeep driving around the neighborhood. Smell banana
bread. Oh, a good bananabread. There's nothing like it. Right
in the morning with a cup ofcoffee. Oh yeah, So anyway,
Yeah, I wasn't expecting the bananathing to be that big a deal,
(01:53):
but now it is. But there'snothing worse than a green banana. Well
you gotta wait around for it.Yeah. You put it in a pitper
bag, it will brown quicker.Yeah really yeah, it like takes out
the oxygen. Well there's some importantbanana information. Yeah. Yeah, bananas
are fantastic superfood for energy cars.Oh, you put them in smoothies,
(02:16):
and every single smoothie, regardless ofwhat it is, should have some banana.
Yeah. Well, the Savannah bananasare coming to Fenway. And then
there's you know, when you thinkof it, the Savannah bananas celebrate bananas
every day. They're actually bananas.Yeah. Is there a place to get
(02:37):
good banana stuff? You know whohas pretty decent banana bread is there's a
place up the street anyway, there'sthat. It's one of the Savannah Bananas
coming back eight. Wow, hardto get ticket. You can't get them.
You have to go into a lotteryin September for next year. Really.
(02:57):
Yes, Lisa got my son enablea shirt. Yeah shirts. I
brought it home. He's so excited. And Jen goes, oh, you
should get tickets to that. Youcan't touch me. You can't touch you,
understand. Yeah. By the way, a year ago, Lisa got
me a Savannah Bananas T shirt.And when I tell you, and I'm
not exaggerating because I tend to exaggeratesometimes anytime I wear it, I get
(03:22):
compliments. Oh my god, Ilove your T shirt. Where'd you get
that? That was a gift fromLisa. Well, it's unique. Topic
Time is coming up this morning.That's our new deal. Okay, we
love Topic Time and the couple oftopics we're going to recommend today vacation nightmares.
We all have them. We allhave them, So that's one of
the topics. So feel free tocall in with your nightmare six one seventy
(03:44):
nine three one one one away orjust send a talk back about it right
justin Yeah, you gotta It's reallyeasy. Just listen on the iHeart app
and this little red microphone little playbutton. You just tap that, send
your message, and we talk alot about you know, you go to
a restaurant, everybody's get their cellphone out. It could be a group
of people. Everybody's on their owncell phones. There is a restaurant where
if you give up your phone,hand in your phone, they will hand
(04:08):
you a free bottle of wine.Yeah. They're creating a tech free atmosphere.
And the cool thing is that ninetysomething like that of people accept it.
They put their phone away and theyeat with no phone and they get
the free bottle of wine. Well, wine's expensive. I would do it,
Yeah, I would do it.It's more to encourage you know,
human contact. You know, that'sthe idea. I love it. Yeah,
(04:31):
speak to the family at dinner.Well, it's like when you go
to a comedy show, they takeyour phones. I want to see Shane
Gillis. Yeah, when he knowsthis, they take your phone, so
you just enjoy exact show, youknow. Yeah, So there's there's the
question, would you give up yourphone for a free bottle of wine.
I guess it depends on how goodthe wine is. We've got Kiss concert
tickets at seven ten and eight ten, nine ten. We've got the vip
(04:55):
Kiss concert tickets with a thousand bucksin cash, so we got a big

do entertainment. Well, it's NationalBanana Day. We've got to celebrate this
big day. Hey, guys,Happy Banana Day. Do any of you
guys peel your banana from like thebar them up? I've always been like
(06:00):
a pull down person from the top, but I do see videos on it,
and I'm just wondering if anyone actuallydoes that. Well, to do
that, wouldn't you have to likecut the end of the bottom off?
Yeah, right, because otherwise you'dnever get the peel open. Yeah.
I usually do top down. Yeah, I've never met anybody that does bottom
up. You guys, do youguys bite the banana or do you break
(06:21):
it off? Oh? Saving thatone time. Okay, it's a valid
question. Yeah, I think itdepends on my mood. I bite it,
but sometimes I'll break it. Itreally is. It's a toss up.
I usually break it. Yeah,it never crossed my mind to break
it. Really. Okay, getright in there, Bill, you gotta
(06:44):
get in bye. Okay, thatsettles that question. Talking a lot about
the banana, I've never seen justina lot. I mean, it's National
Banana Day. I don't know.I don't know what else to say.
We must celebrate. Yeah, we'llget some bananas or something and we'll them
from the bottom. And I don'tknow, No, we need banana bread.
Billy's gonna bite it hard. Justhit the sound of now the entertainment
(07:09):
updates with Billy Costa. Okay,the Bruins are onto the playoffs Game one
Saturday night against the Maple Leafs.They lost to Ottawa last night. At
the game, though, they honoredand they celebrated Jack Edwards, who is
retiring from the broadcast booth from highabove the ice. His iconic voice became
(07:30):
synonymous with countless moments in Ruin's history. Jack's charisma, passion, and presence
in the booth will absolutely be missedtonight. Both Nelson and the Boston Bruins
want to thank Jack for his serviceand wish him all the best as he
transitions into retirement. God, heis so good. This was Jack last
(07:54):
night. The game keeps speeding up, Walleye keep blowing down, and it's
time to get off the ice.And I've had a good shift and fresh
legs need to cowboy over the boards. Yeah, you know what. I
(08:15):
respect the fact that you know he'sstepping away. Yeah, you know he
knows, you know, there's somethinggoing on, and you know, you
mean forty five years Yeah, onthe air, you know, such a
nice gone, so much energy.Yeah. Uh, Jack wanted to come
on the show this morning. Wewere texting back and forth. He didn't
get home until after midnight. AndI gotta say this, if Jack had
come in this morning or even calledin, uh, we would have featured
(08:39):
a highlight reel. So I saywe do it anyway. Handle with those
commisifs shot, jeto more shot scores, my two goals with the going ball,
lead runs and showing hearts a liveshave tied that great train. Always
such a he's such a homer.Get over it. You go to hockey
(09:05):
games to get excited. Did yousay he didn't He didn't couldn't come on
because he got in late and hewas tired. Yeah, you know you
should have said to him. He'scalled in a lot over the years.
Yeah, he's just he's just sucha good guy. I was like,
definitely thrilled to be able to visithim in the booth a few times,
to watch him at work. Hewas and is such a perfectionist. I
(09:31):
mean his game preparation. He's therehours before the game and he's got screens
in front of him with all thestats, he's got all the books and
the notes out in the open andhe'm totally focused. And boys, I
don't know how they're going to replaceJack. I don't know either. But
you know, some of the criticismthat he got was that he was biased.
Yeah, of course he was.He was a Bruins fan, of
(09:52):
course, die hard Ruins. Yeah, okay, so obviously there's a different
difference in his speech. Clearly,I don't watch the Bruins by you heard
the clips whatever, But they're sayingthey don't know what it is. They've
run every test imaginable and they can'tgive them any that is. I feel
for him to not know then haveI mean, your job, you know,
(10:15):
I mean obviously it played to factorhis retirement. Yeah, for sure.

it. At one point, Tayloris like, I'm so drunk right now.
You know, she's a regular person. I love her in this new
era, Ravis era, this isher era, totally so great. There's
one point where they were in thecrowd and she says something like Travis like,
oh the love this spot. She'snever in the crowd. Yeah,
(16:14):
why would she? And speaking ofgame shows, this to me is bizarre.
Gary and Teresa from The Golden Bachelorare going to be featured on Celebrity
Family Feud well even though they're divorced, because they taped the show. Yeah,
but but still ratings. I'd watchit with percent to see if there
are any clues that they were breakingup. Who else is going to be
(16:37):
on with them? Because you haveto have like four or five people,
Yeah, well probably some people fromher Yeah. Kids, he's got two
daughters against each other? Are they? They don't think you're the same team,
So he's got two daughters. Onetime, the Kardashians did it verse.
It was like Cam and Kanye versusthe rest of the Kardashians, So
it was like half and half.I didn't know how to did it.
And Katy Perry is saying it again, she's leaving American Idol. She said
(17:02):
this about thirty four times already,but this looks like the real time,
and I like this. She's suggestingthat jelly roll would be a great replacement.
I bet if you've never seen thevideo of Jelly Roll on Joe Rogan
explaining to Joe about Iam Tong,the winner of American Idol last year.
His audition tape is it was guaranteedto make you cry. So that's a
little funny, okay. So Ithink jelly Roll is great fit. And
(17:26):
there's a new Naked Gun movie onthe way. Pamela Anderson just signed on.
She's going to play the old PriscillaI do, and Liam Neeson will
play Frank Dreben, Lieutenant Frank Drebin, the cop. Do I have to
ask the question, who's gonna playoj That's a very good question. I
haven't seen anything on that yet.And we're brought to you by the ninety

got a pair of Kiss Concert ticketsright now for Colle twenty five at six
one seven nine three one one oneOh wait. As always, you know
(18:55):
the rules, you need the keyword, and the keyword, Producer Riley,
is bananas. And it's bananas becausetoday is a national holiday. Yeah,
it's National Banana Day and there's manyways to eat bananas. I love bananas.
I'm with you, guys, Buthow do you like them? Like
green or just yellow or the speckledbrown. Everybody likes them so differently,
(19:19):
And I love to eat my bananawhole and just swallow. Oh wow,
that's a good girl. Yeah.I don't like them green. I don't
like correction, no one likes themgreen. No, there are people that
like them green's. It'll give youan instance stomach ache a green banana.
I'm not sure if it's one hundredpercent true for all people from the Dominican
(19:41):
Republic, but I had a coupleof Dominican friends, and that's how they
ate the bananas green. You seea lot of green bananas there and in
the Caribbean. But I don't thinkthey're bananas like we have bananas. They're
called something else. But they're reallykind of bitter tasting. Yeah, yeah,
I don't like it. I don'tlike them too brown either. I
don't either think it really mushy.No, I like a little bit a
few specs is okay, No,too mushy. When they're too mushy,
(20:03):
then it's time to use them foryour banana bread. Oh, the banana
bread and the banana bar. Oryou can cut them up, freeze them
and then put them in smoothies laterif you're if they're too brown to eat.
Celebrating the banana today. Yeah,the banana bread and Billy you know
who has pretty decent banana bread isthere's a place up the street. I
can't name it. By the way, is there a single reason that you
(20:30):
haven't played Gwen Stefani? But yeah, right, give me one reason you
have ignored that song in the middleof this banana celebration. Well, I
played the Beetlejuice one because that's beenin my head because obviously the Beetlejuice sequels
coming out. I like that one. But if you want the Gwen one,
fine, yes, So then there'sthe other other discussion about how do
(20:56):
you peel the banana? You thinktop to bottom, right, of course
you do. Well, No,apparently going from the bottom up is popular
too. I didn't know that.Good morning everybody. Just going back to
the banana thing. I peel bananasfrom the bottom up. I had seen
a video on it, and itis so much easier to peel the banana.
(21:18):
You do not have to cut thebottom off. If you've ever tried
to like peel the banana from thetop and it's like it's really hard,
sometimes the bottom is the best.How can you do it from the bottom
without cutting the tip off because there'snothing to grip there's just sorry, I
just can't even imagine window going on. I'm having a hard time falling along.
(21:42):
Apparently you can't. We should tryit. We should get some bananas
and try it. Yeah, allright, that's what we should do.
Is that a banana in your pocket? All right, let's go to mine
two Shane Coller twenty five. JustHi, Shannon, Hey, Shannon,
Billy Hi, Shannon. Oh,I'm sorry. I was still laughing at
the previous joke. No, noproblem. Yeah. Have you had bananas
(22:06):
recently, Shannon? No, they'vebeen stair rocking price. Oh oh they're
very expensive now bana? Oh god, sorry Shannon. Well, the good
news is that you've got kiss contracttickets, providing you can give me the
keyword banana is banana. Blonde walksdown the street. She's a banana peel
and she says, here we goagain. Boy, we're covering all sides,
(22:33):
aren't we. I think we needto move along with Yeah, let's
just move the idulation. Shannon wasin the news. But there's these new
shared living spaces in Boston that gotus talking. Someone's making a lot of
money with this idea, So we'lldiscuss it right after. Oh, this
is Noacon, I mean a bigmistake. Yesterday I introduced dial drunk Noah
Con post malone, yes just postmalone, and people were angry. Oh
(22:57):
I'm a Noah Coan fan. Allright, I made a little slip slighted,
no accounts half right, Okay,but it is a Noah Con song,
as is this. It's stick season, Lisa Kiss. Rent prices are
sky high in the Boston area,so a lot of people are looking for
unconventional housing. In fact, somepeople are not trying shared living spaces to
(23:18):
make ends meet. Yeah, sothese shared living spaces like five twenty five
Lincoln Allston seven Inc. In BostonSouth and could help provide affordable No.
I put that in quotes because itdepends on what you think is affordable for
young professionals and keep them working andliving in Boston. So basically, a
shared community living community is where youhave your own bedroom, but then you
(23:42):
share a kitchen, you share aliving room, and in some cases,
and we need to ask our personon hold, do you share a bathroom?
So this is like dormitory. It'sa rooming house essentially. I lived
in rooming houses, right, Soit's basically an extension of the dorm.
Basically, that's that's how you livedin college or a frat house or a
(24:02):
frat house. Yeah. So we'rewatching this story on the news yesterday and
we see that they started viewing theproperty manager. Yes, okay, which
his name is Chris, right.All we hear about every day is basically
the lack of housing. So theyhave so Winnie and I looked, we
hear this is that is that liesin fairy tales? Chris from the talk
back Mafia lies in fairy tales andturns out what it is. And we've
(24:26):
got Chris Fernandez on the phone rightnow. Hey, Chris, good morning.
Hye, how's it going. Liesin fairy tales? Baby in fairy
tales? Okay, Chris, youneed to go ahead. And I say
one thing I had called earlier sayingthat we weren't going to crown the mayor
(24:47):
of the South and as the talkbackerof the year, I'm ready to concede
because he's crushing it so he canbe talkbacker of the year and we have
our first concession, our first dropout of campaign. That's really big of
you, Chris. Yeah. SoChris, you need to explain this and
defend this because you're talking about hypotheticallya four bedroom apartment and you will sign
(25:12):
four separate leases. Yeah, soit's three or four bedrooms, and basically
it's that co living model. Sowhat's happening is there literally is just not
a enough housing or be uh notany type of housing that you can actually
afford. So what happened happens isyou could be let's say apartment two oh
(25:34):
four and you could rent apartment twofour A, B or C. And
in some cases the bedroom will havean attached bathroom. Now I would need
an attached bathroom because I have awhole skincare routine. I got it on
the product. I got a moisturize. Every night, I'm going to bed
(25:55):
covered in basoline, So I needmy bathroom. So to be clear,
Chris, is you would a premium. Yeah. But to be clear,
Chris, besides being the lies andfairy tales person on our show, talk
about Chris, you're one of therealtors dealing in all this. He's a
party manager. Yeah. So basicallyI'm renting out and managing the building.
So that's what I'm doing here.Yeah. OK, So the age range,
(26:21):
what is it for the people thatare doing this pretty much, well,
we'll rent to anybody that has aneed and that qualifies. But basically
it's really young professionals that have likejust graduated that literally need to be somewhat
near the city and can't afford it. So everyone that's like a recent grad
(26:41):
if they're here for like like aninternship or like a specific time frame like
program or fellowship. Everybody is likedoing a grad programmer like be You or
Harvard, they can literally just comehere for that sat amount of time,
whether it be nine months twelve months. They don't have to worry about any
(27:02):
furniture. Everything is furnished. Wecover all the utilities, and the furniture
is nice. It's like substantial furniture. I mean you think about like when
you first graduated, you have tolike move in with roommates. Anyways,
you were like sourcing couches on Craigslist. You have to go on Facebook marketplace
to buy winnies stained rugs. We'regoing to give all that to you.
(27:26):
Plus and plus you don't have toargue about utilities like who's paying what,
and yeah, the property pays foreverything. So you literally just like bring
your clothes, bring your toothbrush.We do buy monthly apartment cleanings too,
so it's kind of like a longterm hotel if you think of it.
Okay, but Chris, I loveyou. I'm not coming at your job.
(27:47):
But at the end of the day, you're still asking almost two thousand
dollars per room. Correct. Correct? Yeah, Well the least expensive option
is nineteen twenty five. Does thatinclude a bathroom or no bathroom? No
bathroom? Wow? And that's whereI have an entry because chrism to hang
(28:08):
up. Now, get a fourbedroom, two bath for four thousand in
each pay a thousand. Yeah,but the quality of what you're getting is
way better than being like in atriple decker in Brighton, where you don't
have any maintenance help. You haveto pay for your utilities. You have
you paid a gas or electric.So lately it's like, Chris, I
(28:32):
think it's talk about the amenities inthe building. Well, you get to
see me every day, and I'mhilarious. I basically do a stand up
routine for you every morning while you'regetting a coffee. Then we have a
gym, we have like tons oflike little work pods or like study areas.
(28:53):
Again, the maintenance aspect is likesuper convenient because you just like style
a number and like someone will helpyou with literally anything. Yeah, we
have concierge security. We have anawesome roof deck that just looks right over
the Boston Skyline. We do haveparking available. Yeah, it's really I
(29:14):
understand what the argument is because,like you said, it is affordable inspotations.
But I mean, at the endof the day, you can literally
not afford anything really in that pricepoint, or that nothing exists in that
price point. So it's actually beenreally successful. We've only been open three
months and we're almost halfway least.Wow, there's there's definitely a need.
(29:38):
Listen, I have nothing. I'mall for it. I'mike winning. You
know, you can't knock the hustle, you know what I mean. They
got the they're making money. Itsounds Yeah, you don't need to be
a criminal to live here. Wewould actually prefer if you weren't. But
I can bring my record with me. Oh one more question, Chris,
(29:59):
is there a minimum amount of timeyou can lease? We're flexible. We
prefer obviously like six to twelve months, but if you come by you name
drop Billy and Lisa. Oh,I have to work with you. This
is awesome. I love it,Chris. I love it, especially for
people that just graduated from college,like millennials, Like you're single, you
like want to have a little adventure, You're meeting new people. I think
(30:22):
it's perfect. I think they're goingto be a lot of ragers up on
that rooftop. I'm just silly,not on my watch live in Fairytale.
I love it. Oh, we'recoming up on topic time. We gave
you a couple of hot topics earlierthis morning. One of them is we
want vacation nightmare stories and the otherone would you give up your cell phone
(30:45):
at a restaurant if they gave youa free bottle of wine? Or if
you want to keep this conversation goingas well the shared living spaces, we
can do that as well. Topictime is open for anyone and anything.

gave you a free bottle of wine. Let's start with vacation nightmares justin Well,
yeah, this came from one ofour talkbackers. So you know,
we encourage you to provide topics forus. I mean, listen, we
can come up with our own topics, but with that caring from you guys.
Hey, guys, I have atopic that you could use for topic
(31:33):
time for our stories on vacation.Things that happened that were not expected that
really ruined your vacation might be fun. Yeah, before we go to the
phones and the talkbacks, any ofyou guys have a vacation Josh, I
just ask Lisa innocently off the air, and she gave me seven straight.
One of the last ones, Timgot sick. Your husband, Yeah he
got sick. Well, he getssick a lot. Yeah, I got
(31:56):
a parasite. But the other one, the standout was my tripped on a
towel at the pool and went headfirstinto the stone staircase. I remember that
and we ended up having to rushhim to a Mexican urgent care center where
no one spoke English, and wewere there for hours and he had to
get stitches, and then as hecouldn't go swimming for the rest of the
(32:16):
trip. That was a major nightmare. Jim fainted. Yeah, Tim fainted
on that on that incident. Therewas so much blood it was. It
was really bad. Yeah, Ihave a cup of I have a bunch
of them. But I think Itold the one recently whe where I went
scuba diving on a chartter off acruise ship and then when I came back
from scuba diving, the cruise shiphad already left and abandoned me in the
(32:39):
south of France or something I thinkit was. But it was another one
where we were vacationing. My boyswere very young. We went to Pee
Town and it was an awesome trip, but Alex was like five or six
years old. He got lost forover an hour. We couldn't find the
entire town was looking for told methis story. Yeah, yeah, there
was. There was panic right overan hour, and everybody him he was
(33:01):
I strictly said, no matter whathappens, no one goes back to the
boat, okay, because the boatwas kind of far down the dock,
so we were looking everywhere, andfinally I said is it possible He ignored
me and I went down and hewas playing a video game. You have
to understand the whole town was mobilized, right. I assumed he had been
(33:22):
taken, Like I was freaked out, all of a suddenly turned into Liam
Neeson. Yeah, oh my god. Yeah, crazy story. Disaster vacation.
Jack Murray twenty nine years old misseda flight on Friday. I believe
it was to get down to DCfor my brother's engagement, which I was
(33:45):
the best man. Got there intime of the engagement party, but only
to realize that when I was leavingon Sunday, I was late for my
flight, Missed that one, latefor another flight, missed that one,
slept in the terminal, got homeon Monday am for work. What's what's
the story here? That's his fault. He keeps sleeping through the flights.
(34:05):
You're missing three flights. I thinkhe was probably having a good time.
Yeah, a little too much ofa good time. Yeah. My husband
and I had a nightmare vacation storyin Cabo our last night there. We
both got food poisoning and had anearly morning flight. Luckily mine hit about
an hour or so before his did, so we could function enough to get
everything together a made for trash bags. So terrible. You don't want to
(34:35):
get sick on vacation. The parasitething, Oh no, yeah, it
doesn't stop. There were actually people, Lisa that you mentioned this yesterday with
the parasite. I did get requestsfrom listeners. I don't know if you
want to do this to elaborate moreon the parasite about what I ate it
gave me. I think it wasroth shrimp. I had like a savice.
(34:55):
I'm thinking it was that. Yeah, and then you just are completely
bedridden, throwing up, you know, going to the bathroom constantly. It
doesn't end until you get medical attention. And then they give you a really
strong antibiotic and this other pill thatyou have to take. So it's not
like the twenty four hour bug.Oh no. This lasted all seven days
(35:17):
and to the point where I said, I think I need to go to
the hospital because I'm not getting better. And then that's when they give you
all the medication. Then there aresoiled clothes. Yeah, so bad.
I get a lot of soiling.It's so bad. Yeah, all right,
let's go to the phone. Jessica. Line three, Jessica what do
you want to add to this?Was it a vacation nightmare? Yes?
(35:40):
Go so me and my boyfriend.Me and my boyfriend are big Baltimore Orioles
fans, so we go down therepretty frequently. Stained and when we were
down there, we were riding aroundon they have like little stooters that you
could rent to go around the city, and we stopped to take a picture
and a bunch of kids to likestore us. There were like twenty kids
coming at us between the ages ofthe maybe like ten to eighteen, and
(36:06):
they were going after the scooters andwe were like, no, we're using
those. So when we tried tograb the scooters from them, they proceeded
to basically beat us up and attackus. Oh I'm sorry. The police
got involved and they had to driveus back to our hotel, and it
was it just ruined our trip.Now when you say they beat you like,
(36:29):
what are we talking about here?They pulled a gun on my Baltimore

Baltimore. Oh boycy Nancy, whathave you got for us? It's topic

when we could stop by saying thattravel to Florida, first flight out in
the day, last flight home.My husband doesn't do this. So we
leave from Boston. It's the winter, flights of delay, flights of delay.
(37:10):
We finally get our connecting flight.We it's literally still sitting on the
Comac and there's thirty of us inthere, and they sold our seats.
Sits there. Yeah, which happens, I guess, but yeah, six
hours till the next flight. It'squarter twelve midnight and we've been sitting there
(37:31):
all that time. So my husbandis severely agitated with this. Get We
get to our destination in Orlando.The rental co place is closed now.
It's about one th in the morning, so he flags down in Uber,
gets over, gets our rent tocars, drives to our friend's post.
So this has been like a seventeenhour ordeal. We get here and he
(37:55):
starts to say, I think I'mhaving a heart attack. God, wife,
I'm like, no, you know, honey, just laid down the
suck it up, shut up,no morning, go to breakfast, still

it really happened, and he spentfour days of our vacation in the
hospital in West PM. Wow.Wow, that is a nightmare. Yeah,
(38:37):
but I'm glad he's okay, youknow what, so would I.
It was awful, but it's sothe day he gets out, we're sitting
coolside having having drinks, having painkillers, and the doctor said, take
it easy, take it easy.So of course, now we're all getting
buzzed. We go out and hegot four days of being in the hospital
(39:00):
to make up for it. We'retrashed. We're like literally, true,
yes he has my husband supposed youknow, we're supposed to be taking it
easy and it's the total opposite.Well, you could have kept a better
eye on him. Come in.I'm just saying, God, that reminded
me of my wife, be anyI mean, stop being a baby,
(39:21):
yeah, grow a pair, stopbeing a bitch, you know, but
she reminds me of another nightmare Ihad flown. I was trying to get
to my buddy, my Crocket's birthdayin Saint John. I flew down to
San Juan. I was supposed toget a puddle jumper over to Saint John
or to Saint Thomas. Uh.When I tell you, I was there
(39:42):
three hours before the flight and theytold me, oh, we sold your
tickets. And I'm like, what, I'm the only one here. There's
no one else here. And turnsout I was stranded for the night.
There were no other flights going down. I even saw a guy at the
airport saying, you know, Iknow a guy that has private I was
gonna pay for a pl you knowit's a puddle jumper. Couldn't so they
I said, so what am Isupposed to do? They gave me a
(40:04):
voucher for a hotel. I takethese car to the hotel we're pulling up.
I said, is this a hookerhotel? Because the hookers were up
and down the street like a parade. And I said, get me out
of here, and I had themtake me to a bigger hotel. Never
got reimbursed. All right, we'reout of We'll just go to Amanda real
quick. All right, Amanda,real quick. Go Hi. So I
(40:29):
was flying out of Boston a fewyears ago going to Punta Kana. We're
about two and a half hours intothe flight, it was about like five
hour flight. They come on theintercom and they say there's a safety censor
going off. One of the doorsmight be open. For everyone's safety,
(40:50):
we have to turn around and goback into Boston. So turn the plane
around, went back to Boston,back there for like two to three hours
so they could inspect the plane,and then proceeded to restart the five hour
flight back to Pundakana and everything wasfine. But we locked a whole day
to day that sucks. Do youever notice for topic time, it's always
(41:15):
one of the topics that dominates,but we can still float that other topic
out there for the rest of theshow. Anybody that wants to reach out,
you know, if you would yougive up your phone for dinner,
you know, to have a morehuman experience. Restaurant Italy is doing it
and they're having a lot of successto give it a free bottle of wine
if you give up your phone upfor dinner. But really it's all about
these vacation stories. I'm living forfirst the last time I went to Mexico,
(41:37):
what was a group of my friendsand my boyfriend of about one year,
and I was in the bathroom feelingsick. I went to throw up
because I must have eaten something.And while I threw up, it came
out to the other end at thesame time, everywhere and all over myself,
all over the ground. And theonly door in that whole entire hotel
(41:57):
room was the bathroom door that wasglass, so my boyfriend could see everything.
And I literally was from Bridesmaids,don't look at me. Oh,
oh my god. You know thatwas toxic.
