Best Of Billy & Lisa: Halloween Week!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the best Avillian Lisa.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
In the morning.

Speaker 3 (00:04):
He everybody, good morning.

Speaker 4 (00:05):
It is a Saturday, first weekend of November, and it's
the best a billion Lisa. I'm justin. I have your
top five moments from this week. Let's get right into
what the election is happening on Tuesday in Massachusetts. There's
five ballot questions. Question five has to do with restaurants
and raising the minimum wage for servers, which a lot
of people are against, including our good friend Randy. He's

(00:28):
a part of Big Night, owns a ton of places.
He says no on five, and I gotta say we
agree no on five is number five.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
We've got our old friend Randy Greenstein. Who.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
Wow, we go back a long time.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
You were my intern, and that.

Speaker 6 (00:41):
Would be sixteen when we met.

Speaker 7 (00:43):
You called me one day. You were in high school
at Lynfield Hime.

Speaker 8 (00:47):
Junior Year High School, sixteen years old, thirty two years ago.

Speaker 6 (00:52):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (00:52):
And now you're like the Jeff Bezos of Boston. You
own nightclubs and restaurants and how many different facilities now.

Speaker 8 (01:02):
Twenty seven businesses, nineteen are hospitality based. And then we
have a bunch of others and including partners with your
son in card Vault.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Card Vall, sportscas, three locations.

Speaker 6 (01:13):
Relocations and growing.

Speaker 7 (01:16):
Yeah, I guess it's going to be exploding. But okay,
so thanks for coming back in. And you are like
aggressively getting everybody to vote no on question five. You've
talked about it to me separately, privately, many many times.
I couldn't help, but notice you at the Celtics game
wearing a bright white sweatshirt with matching hats saying vote

(01:39):
no on question five. Now, how many employees do you have?

Speaker 8 (01:43):
We have fifteen hundred here in about twelve hundred in Massachusetts.
About eight to nine hundred are tipped employees. And that's
what this question five is dealing with, is the tipped credit.
So right now, every tipped employee makes six dollars and
seventy five cents per hour plus their tips.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
They average thirty or more.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
Dollars per hour.

Speaker 8 (02:02):
Over fifty six percent of them, you know, average over
thirty dollars.

Speaker 6 (02:05):
Some of our places are quite busy.

Speaker 8 (02:07):
We're fortunate some of them are making eighty ninety one
hundred dollars an hour.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
So it's not about the six seventy five.

Speaker 8 (02:13):
As a matter of fact, if they have a bad
shift or if they don't get tables, it's legally required.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
For them to pay us pay fifteen dollars anyway, So.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Twenty seven locations.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
Let's say, hypothetically, long shot, it's a yes vote.

Speaker 8 (02:29):
It is going to cost it is going to cost
the businesses eighteen thousand dollars per employee if people vote yes, Wow,
eighteen thousand per and obviously do the math of our business.
Eighteen thousand times eight hundred tipped employee, it's millions of dollars.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
And it's millions of dollars.

Speaker 8 (02:45):
We don't have people think, oh, you guys are great,
you're killing it all that stuff.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
It's not that simple, man.

Speaker 8 (02:50):
It's you know, these businesses are five percent e but
a ten percent even at best, like a net profit.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
The best you can do.

Speaker 8 (02:56):
If you run a perfect restaurant, and you've been in
the restaurant in your three how many years thirty plus
thirty plus thirty plus years doing TV and radio round restaurants,
it is a tight margin. Name one entrepreneur in the
restaurant business that doesn't work their ass off.

Speaker 7 (03:12):
I went into the business because I couldn't believe how
hard working the industry was the hospitality industry.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
And that's the truth.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
It's the truth. It's the most entrepreneurial thing you can do.

Speaker 8 (03:22):
Open a small business, grind it out, work sixty seventy
eighties hours a week and don't know if you're going
to get money. You know the servers are in great shape.
They don't. I mean, I haven't met one person that
wants to vote yes. But people need to hear about it.
I'm aggressive about it because you actually, when you get educated,
if you see it, if you read it, if you

(03:43):
hear it, you vote no because there's no reason why
you would vote yes.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
It's an outside.

Speaker 8 (03:49):
Group from California that got it on the ballot in
Massachusetts with signatures.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
They have nothing to do with the hospitality industry.

Speaker 8 (03:56):
They've gotten it approved in California disaster, gotten it approved
in d disaster.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
Over four thousand people have already lost their jobs in
DC over it.

Speaker 8 (04:05):
It is not good for the hospitality industry. Ninety one
percent of tipped employees do not want this.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I gotta tell you ninety one percent.

Speaker 7 (04:13):
I've talked to a lot of chefs, a lot of
restaurant owners, a lot of weight staff, weight people not
a single person has said to.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Me, vote yes.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I've yet to meet a single person.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Well, because there's no reason too. It's not a problem
that we currently have.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
Right by the way, if you're listening and you are
a yes vote, give us a call right now. I'd
like to know why six point seven nine three going.

Speaker 8 (04:35):
Yeah, Well, the average person, if you don't know about it,
if you haven't heard about it, if you haven't been
educated on it, you think you know it's called one
fair wage. It's it's it doesn't make sense because they
I mean it makes sense to the average person because oh,
shouldn't they make minimum wage? They're averaging over thirty dollars.
They're making way over minimum wage. When you talk to
a server or bartender or tipped employee, they don't want

(04:58):
this because it means that they're going to make less
money if we guarantee them fifteen dollars per per hour.
And then you know, people, the average consumer coming into
a restaurant's like, well, they're already making minimum wage.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
We're not going to give them a twenty.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Percent It will affect tips. No, it's a fact.

Speaker 8 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, it's a fact that it has in other markets.
The research says it goes down to ten percent because
people are like, well, they're already getting paid and the
other The research also shows in markets that's been improved,
it goes up. The checks go up, there's a twenty
percent surch charge. There's menu prices go up, drink prices
go up. But we can't. We don't want to do that.
We're so price conscious. We don't want to be more

(05:36):
expensive than we already are, right because we're battling to
get people to come to our places. In the first place,
there's over eight hundred liquor license in this area. There's
hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of choices of where
you eat, drink and have a good time.

Speaker 6 (05:51):
And you know, our company is based on entertainment.

Speaker 8 (05:53):
You know, we have a lot of nightclubs, we have
a lot of DJs, we have a lot of talent.
We have fifty cent this week, we have Timmy Trumpet
on Thursday. We've so many big things that people are
going to come to our place for. But the average restaurant,
the mom and pop shop, all these small businesses are
competing with hundreds and hundreds of people, and they're competing
with a lot of them will have to shut down, right,

(06:14):
one hundred percent. Restaurants will close. It's not even debatable.
Restaurants will close. It's too expensive. There's no margin left.
If there's no margin left, what are you going to do?
Economics one o one. If you make less than you earn,
if you profit, you know your expenses are higher than
your revenue, you're out of business.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Didn't Governor Herelely come out as a no vote on you?

Speaker 8 (06:34):
She did, And we're so happy and so thankfult Michael
Witz has come out. There's a giant list of a
lot of politicians have come out against no.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
I think there might be one yes, Elizabeth Warren.

Speaker 9 (06:46):
But I think you're right though, it's about education.

Speaker 10 (06:48):
Yes, if people don't know, and they're going to the
ballot box next week, and they might just pull yes
because they don't even know what the question is about.

Speaker 9 (06:58):
Right, that's why you're here.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Read the question.

Speaker 8 (07:00):
First of all, it's the last question. It's buried on
the back page. By the time you get to it,
you filled out about thirty circles on your voting formata,
I already voted, and then you know by the time
you get there, you're like, oh, yes, it just seems
like a yes. It is not a yes. I promise
you it's not a yes. Servers don't want it to
be yes. Owners don't want it to be a yes.
No one wants it to be yes yea.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
On social media, some people are like.

Speaker 8 (07:23):
Oh the people that do you know the keyboard warriors, Yeah,
that are on social that.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
You don't know who they are? Oh, you rich owners,
you just don't want to pay your staff.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
That sounds like witty.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, okay, let's get to number four from this week
on the Billy and Lisa Show. I'm justin happy Saturday.

Mixed up. You know what else is funny?

Speaker 7 (15:37):
When they announced we talked about this yesterday, the boy
Band documentary.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
My first thought was, Oh, I wonder if I minute.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
You could be you could traveled with the New Kids
right in Ireland, London, Scotland, with the New.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Kids in the studio when they did one of their songs, Yes,
it was.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Step by step by step.

Speaker 7 (15:55):
I was in the studio and I got to hit
the button on the giant board to play the song
for the very first time with Mars Maris Starr.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Would be funny if you you you're in the in
the documentary, but then they blurred your face out.

Speaker 7 (16:08):
Okay, your assignment is to find me in the boy Bend.

Speaker 11 (16:11):
What doesn't come out for like two weeks.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
The best part of that story is, and this is
going to be at the end of the year we'll
review all this is.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
We played a game earlier this year and.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
I gave Billy a softball to you could identify step
by step, and he got it wrong.

Speaker 5 (16:24):
I think it's just.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Okay, never heard that song.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
This, This is embarrassed. This is a hold on, hold on.
We need to shame him right now.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Is it the New Kids?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Are you serious?

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Are you serious? The one song release New Kid?

Speaker 13 (16:49):
Can? I?

Speaker 4 (16:51):
I mean, anybody in Boston released that song go ahead
winning step?

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Really?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Okay? How did you play the flip Sidne Listen to me?
That right there is our colossal irony when you think
of it.

Speaker 7 (17:10):
I was the first one in the nation, uh huh
to play the song.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah yeah, And I said I never heard.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
It before in my life.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
That sums up Billy right there.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
That's like the time we had the game and you
played my theme song for my TV show and I
didn't recognize it.

Speaker 13 (17:26):
Oh yeah, your life is one big iron ironic situation.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Hey, everybody, good morning, welcome back. Top five moments in
the Billy and Lisa Show on a Saturday morning. I'm
justin number two moment. Of course, it was Halloween this week,
and we thought, let's get spooky. Why not topic time
ghost stories, Let's go number two.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Let's go to Kathy and Boston. Kathy, what have you got?

Speaker 1 (17:50):
So?

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Good morning, everybody, Happy Halloween. So my family we went
on a tour of the State House when I was younger,
and all the kids got really excited that we were
waiting for the elevator, and we just all the kids
jumped on the elevator, no adults. We turned around, the
doors closed, and we shot down to the basement. We

(18:12):
got off the elevator for some reason, I don't know why.
The doors closed, and then we hear somebody walking. It
was kind of like shadowy, but you could see some sunlight,
and so we're yelling, you know, hi, help us whatever.
There was a little girl with us. I don't know why,
but she was like crying, so I was holding to her,
and we heard the footsteps and a guard clearly walked

(18:35):
past us, didn't acknowledge us, and when he went into
the shadows, the doors opened again to the elevator and
then we went immediately like back up to where our
family was and it acted like we never disappeared or anything.
It was It was so and I think about this
all the time. It was so crazy and nobody believes me.

Speaker 7 (18:55):
Yeah, did you check yourself a couple of times to
say this can't be real? And then you turn and
then you look again, but it's still there.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
It was weird because the footsteps and we were all
kind of like, hey, what are you doing. We're like
a bunch of kids sitting down here in the basement
of the state rope. Oh yeah, So that was like
one of the creepiest ones. But I've had a few.

Speaker 7 (19:15):
You never go in the basement, yeah, of an old building,
the state House.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Oh no, they do that in movies. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:23):
Yeah, it's probably like a former guard or something that
worked the State House.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Let's go.

Speaker 7 (19:27):
Oh, let's go to New Hampshire and Danielle. Happy Halloween, Danielle.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Happy Halloween.

Speaker 15 (19:32):
Guys. All right, So I have to set the story
up a little bit. I grew up in West her
and in the late sixties there was a tragic fire
in the neighborhood where I was like, or where I lived.
These boys had built a cabin and in the winter
they're trying to use it, and they made a bad
fireplace and it burnt down the five of them inside.

Speaker 9 (19:50):
Oh my god.

Speaker 15 (19:51):
So that happened in the late sixties. And fast forward
about twenty years later. I was a kid going downstairs
to get a glass of water and I saw my
I'm frozen, standing in front of a window and she
was pale, she was cold, she was completely non responsive.
I couldn't get her attention. Took a few minutes to
kind of shake her out of it, and she she

(20:13):
just kept kept mumbling.

Speaker 12 (20:15):
I saw the boys.

Speaker 15 (20:16):
The boys are over there. And I looked across the
street and I didn't see any ghosts, but I could
see some like shaking in the woods, like frustly. And
it still gives me chills to this day. I believe
my mom can see ghosts. Maybe I can't. But she
knew those boys.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
She was younger than.

Speaker 15 (20:32):
Them, but it was just so creepy and sad at
the same time. She was I see them, there, five
of them coming down the down the hill.

Speaker 9 (20:41):
They want to see the spirits.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, I got the creeps.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
Real, boy, very real.

Speaker 10 (20:52):
Have you ever you know I maybe like you know,
like appears very quick and then you turn and you're like,
was there's just something in my room? Yeah, it happens
to me all the time.

Speaker 11 (21:03):
My house I.

Speaker 13 (21:04):
Grew up in, my parents' own was owned by my
grandfather's parents. So it's been in our house for one
hundred years. So Nana who died in there, my mom's grandma.
Like sometimes like the doors will shut or whatever, like, oh.

Speaker 11 (21:15):
There's Nana. Like that's kind of like the that type
of thing. Because our house is like one hundred and
I don't know, fifty years old.

Speaker 7 (21:22):
I'm getting the chills because I've seen them, so I
know it's real.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yeah, but I feel like if anyone should be haunted,
it should be Winny.

Speaker 8 (21:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Oh, they're going to follow her for the rest of
her life. And then when he's going to be walking
around in the.

Speaker 11 (21:34):
House, I'm gonna haunt.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh god, yeah, she's coming back. Kim is in Walpole. Kim,
Happy Halloween, give us a good story.

Speaker 16 (21:43):
Hi, Happy Halloween.

Speaker 17 (21:45):
So I lost my grandmother before my son was born,
and I went to go see Morrehen live one time
and she called on me in the audience and said,
you know, your grandmother is watching over your son, which
I totally believe. So when he was three, he had
to have a pretty serious surgery. So my husband and
I were with him until he was completely asleep. You know,
they put him under. So he tells me. After that,

(22:08):
when you know, Dad and I left, Nurse Charlotte came
to hold his hand the whole time. There was no
Nurse Charlotte on staff's name.

Speaker 11 (22:18):
Oh I got the child.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Wow, that really cool.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Many stories, and I gotta tell you, the spirits are
always very happy.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
I keep saying that.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
But why why haven't I seen a ghost? That's my thing.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
You don't go looking, They just don't. I've been in
some places that are haunted.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, and I've never never.

Speaker 11 (22:45):
Got to open up yourself to it.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
It's something that's closed off.

Speaker 7 (22:48):
I think it's something beyond haunting, you know what I mean.
I think the haunting part of his make believe. But
they are real.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
Trust me. Let's go to Tracy and Randolph.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Tracy, you have a story, good morning.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yes I did.

Speaker 16 (23:01):
My oldest daughter was eight months old at the time,
and I was visiting a friend of mine who had
a three year old son with doc curly hair, and
she had a ten month old daughter at the time,
So I was getting ready to leave, and all of
a sudden, I see this little blonde boy go running
by me in her house, heading down the hallway into

(23:21):
her master bedroom. And I looked at her and her
son was standing.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Like close by.

Speaker 16 (23:29):
Yeah, And she looks at me and she says, you
just saw him, didn't you? And I said yes, And
she said that's the little boy that drowned in the
bathtub before we bought the hut.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Oh my god, freaked me out.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Yeah too.

Speaker 16 (23:45):
We've had a whole bunch of things happen to different
people in our family. And we went on a ghost
hunt and my daughter was walking down the stairs in
front of me, and we had been told that there
was a ghosts in the house that we were in
that like young ladies on instead of stairway, nothing between
us between her and I, and something pinched her and
we walked out of the house and she had a

(24:06):
pinchmark in the middle of her back where there was
nothing between us when it happened.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Yeah, they're goofing around.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
They're not all nice.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
Apparently she was goofing around. She was having fun.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, well, Tracy, were not surprised.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Okay, here we go. Number one moment from this week.
It was Halloween, of course, and a couple Halloweens ago

favorite medium. I mean, she does incredible stuff. We had
her on this week for Halloween. She did live readings
on the radio, and I gotta be honest, she nailed it.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
