Speaker 2 (00:22):
When I wait, So let's get right into it.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Your number five moment from this week was kind of
a life lesson one talking about regrets. Regrets in your
career or maybe your relationship. We all have them, and
you know what, hopefully we learn from them. Number five.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
All right, biggest regrets in careers and relationships? Do you
want me to start with my biggest regret in my
relationships over the years, always changing myself for the other person,
never having the confidence to say this is who I
am and this is what I want. And now, finally, in.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
My elder years, I have.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
The confidence to say that there we go. No, but
it's so true. When I was in my twenties, I
was always changing myself for the guy that I was with,
thinking that that's what he wanted. Or trying to fit
into his life. And if I could tell my younger
self something like be who you are and be happy
with who you are and confident because it matters.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm serious.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
That's a good one and I bet that's a common
one too.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, and I think it comes with age too, as
you experience, you know, as you get older, a little
bit older, and you go through.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Things, you know, you learn, and then you become you
become more confident.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Then how about a regret and career?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Know your value?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yes, no, know your value again, that's the biggest thing
anyone listening out there.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Don't devalue yourself.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Should we march down to the front office.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
You have to have the same.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
These are the biggest things that I've learned.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Mine, I think is the same for both career and relationship.
And that is is uh never having spoken up enough.
Speaker 7 (02:03):
Oh my god, that's your whole life, right, that's your
whole life, right.
Speaker 8 (02:07):
I wish you was.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
It's true in relationships and careers.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, stick to you, you hold your ground.
Speaker 9 (02:15):
Billy is very passive, very just never speaking up, saying
responding to something the way I really want to, saying
what I really want to say.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I always hold back.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, you're more of a lover than a fighter.
Speaker 10 (02:28):
He is.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You know.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
That's a good way, but that's how you get walked
all over. You don't be a fighter to speak up
for yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, you don't want to be a doormat.
Speaker 8 (02:36):
Yeah, Billy says. It says welcome on Billy's forehead.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But because I do the same thing, we're very similar.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Yeah, that's right, you're both passing witty.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
That is not your problem.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
I no, I'm not. I'm not. Mine would be not
following my intuition.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
I think a lot of the times I've let I've
talked myself out of things that I knew to be
true because I either didn't want it to be the
reality or someone was telling me he's like no, no,
that's not like that's not the case, and I'm like, no,
I know something's off. So when you know something's off,
but you keep talking yourself out of your intuition because
(03:17):
of the result or whatever you're looking for, that's been
my biggest regret is yeah, justin.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, I mean my career, I really don't have any
regrets per se. I've only had like two jobs in
my life.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
But yeah, flip burgers at friendlies.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I flip burgers at friendlies. I did a couple other jobs.
But now I'm pretty pretty good that way. My relationships.
You know, my wife, we knew each other when we
were very young, but I wasn't confident enough to kind
of pursue it. Yeah, you know, I didn't believe in myself,
so I guess, you know, I wish I would have
done it back then. Luckily we reconnected years later and
(03:56):
I had a little bit more confidence to do so,
So I think my line's but Lisa's a little bit,
you know, be more confident.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Speak up, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yeah, do you want to hear what the list says?
As it kind of goes into exactly what we're saying,
ignoring your own passions, living someone else's life, never truly
knowing yourself, constantly saying yes when you want to say no,
and letting fear make your decisions for you, losing your confidence,
(04:26):
not setting boundaries.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Yeah, boundaries is a big one too.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Wow, Oh I think I have some of all of those.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, I think we all do.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I think we all do. That's why you know it's
the popular list. You know.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
You are and literally says welcome on your forehead.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Hey guys, good morning, welcome back. Justin here your top
five moments from the Billy and Lisa Show this week.
Number four was a very interesting list that we found
had a lot of people talking things that millennials do
that gen Zers do not think are cool anymore.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
At Lisa, you know me, I'm constantly thinking about and
wondering about the gen z Ers and what they're on.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
So I like to keep up to date on the
gen z ors.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You're up at night every single day.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well, there are a lot of things that we used
to do that gen z Ers are saying, you know what,
we don't really need to do those anymore. They're like
traditional expectations that they're ditching. So I have a list
of these things that used to be considered proper etiquette,
but now they're just considered kind of tired. So Number
one is not looking at their cell phone during a conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, that's out.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They want you to look at the cell phone.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Said, they say, it's okay, it's it's.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Totally so gen z Is say, if you're having a
conversation with somebody, okay, talking to them, you can be
looking at your phone while talking to them.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Right, the next one is making polite small talk don't
really not really necessary small talk? No, not wearing, not
wearing sweatpants and public.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Wait well, hold on, hold on, hold on, we have
to discuss these. Okay, no more small talk. So what
are you gonna do? What are you gonna talk about?
Just don't talk at all in your meetings. But for
the first time, you got to start with small talk, right.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I guess. But what they're saying is it's just not
necessary anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You know what you could do medium talk?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
How's your marriage?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Why would you ask me.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
That I'm trying to elevate small talk to medium talk?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, fine, that's all right, that's okay. Almost never yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Almost never there sweatpants does that mean they're in or out?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
That means they're in if you look around you, that's
all anyone's ever wearing now?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Or like sweatsuits?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, yoga pants and sweatpants.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I love a good pair of sweatpants. I will say,
I know, Billy, you won't get caught dead.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
And sweatpants, well, I mean, if I'm going somewhere, I'm
not wearing sweatpants, and I don't wear sweatpants on a plane.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
The one good thing about the pandemic is that could
come to work in my sweatpants every day.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah nice.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Well, I love that you brought that up, because one
of the things on the list is dressing up for
the airplane.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Not necessary.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
That's that's very it never was according to gen Zers,
it's coming their pajamas.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, well, that's exactly what's happening.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I have to give you a I actually I'm buying
a pair of sweatpants.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh what kind the aloe? You know that? The yeah? Matching?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Nice?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, I was online.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I was like, I think I need to wear them
into work on a Friday.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I will, I promise. Another one is making eye contact.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
That's not necessary anymore?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Not necessary.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I hate this list. Oh god, I hate this list.
I'm a millennial, and you know what. I hate this list.
So what are you supposed to? Look at their mouth?
Look you look past them. I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Another one is writing old school thank you notes.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh that's at least a thing.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Oh she's the queen.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Well, I still make my kids do it, just because
I you know, but I've been texting more like thank
yous and stuff like that. But I still like receiving
a nice note. It means like someone took the extra
time and effort. But old gen zers are saying it's
not necessary anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
So do you at least say thank you? Is that okay?
Or is that out?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You can think it. You just think it.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
And they'll pick it up. They'll pick up the vibe. Yeah,
you just think you so.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
So when you meet them, you don't look them in
the eye, right and if they give you something, you
just walk away.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Why not just stay home and Bill?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Can I share one more with you?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Taking off their hat. You don't have to take your
hat off anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Just leave it on.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Where are you supposed to take your hat? Got one
on right now?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You know what dinner?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
They used to say, like take your hat off, my mother,
take your hat off, and I say it to my boys, take.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Your hat off. You don't have to say that anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
So that's out. You just wear your hat and be
happy where your hat okay? Really?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well? All right, well there you go, Gus. I'm not
a big fan of this list.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
The eye contact one I hate because that was a
big thing for me, was learning to look people in
the eye when I meet them.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yes, And when people meet me and they do not
look me in the eye, I do not.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
But I can kind of see where they're coming from.
Because if you're looking in the eye too long, it
gets a little creepy.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Are you a long starer? What does that mean?
Speaker 12 (09:10):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
But I like to make eye contact.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, just quickly when I meet some I just met
the new boss. We have a new boss here, DJ.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
DJ?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I met him and I went up to him, shook
his hand, and I looked him right in the eye,
looked into his soul.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Then keep doing that. Do what you want to do?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
What I'm saying, Yeah, I've got to go say hello
to one by the way, say thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So let me ask you a question. Do you have
certain red flags when it comes to relationships and dating?
Certain things stick out to you. This was a topic
on the show this week. Olivia Rodrigo mentioned what her
red flag is number three.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
So Olivia Rodrigo got us on this topic. I guess
over the weekend she was talking about her red flag
so when it comes to dating, and said the one
thing that really is a red flag for her as
if she asked somebody if a guy, if he wants
to go into space, and he says yes, that's a
red flag because that means he's full of himself.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And you yours was hygiene, Yeah, but feet too, right, Well,
it falls into the hygiene.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Cat falls into hygiene. Yeah right.
Speaker 13 (10:10):
Geez, Nichols Billy again making me feel baby about my feet.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
I called him before.
Speaker 13 (10:15):
You call myself gollum just because I have ugly feet.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I do have good hygiene.
Speaker 13 (10:19):
I'm at the hairdresser every five weeks, shout out to
briokay and quinsy lovey Kayla. I get facials, I do
derma plating. I can't help it. If God gave me
wrinkly feet. With Jimmy Jimmy Dean sausages as toes. There's
only so much that Neil Polish can do.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I never said anything about her feet. Great, I just
said hygiene.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
No, you link the two together. You did the ugly
feet with the hygiene. She's saying that she has good hides.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Her feet could be beautiful in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, no, she said they're like gollum. Oh yeah, sausage toes.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Squeeze him in a shoe. Let's go to Jane. She's
from and Jane, you're first on the phones.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Give us a red flag, give us a good one, Jane.
Speaker 14 (11:06):
Okay, Well, if somebody does not like children or animals
or pets, then you don't want anything to do with them.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah that's a good one too. Yeah, pets, Yeah, totally.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Actually, Jane, that is a good one. That would be
one of my red flags.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
If you hated animals or especially.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Dogs, even if you didn't like dogs, that would be
a red flag.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
But that's a good one, Jane, Thank you, good call.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But does the person have to be as much of
a pet person as you know?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I don't think so. They just can't hate animals.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Yeah, some people would just come out for no reason
and say, yeah, I don't like dogs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah I'm not dogs.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
I didn't even ask you, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
True.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
As soon as they order a drink with dark liquor,
red flag.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah that's interesting, like some Hennessy or something.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I can see that.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And he's talking about brown liquors, which is scotch and whiskey.
Speaker 15 (11:58):
Dos uh do brown liquor? It is tall doers. Yeah,
well you know whiskey, I mean brown liquors.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Are very strong. They're there not for the leading.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Oh no, they are powerful, Kim, and they tend to
be an angry high.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Seems like it whiskey.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know Cosmo's okay, it's kind of happened.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That's a fun drink.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, that's a billy drink.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, good morning, morning crew.
Speaker 10 (12:31):
You want to talk about red flags, Well, let me
tell you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
My entire life has just been filled with red.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Flags literally whipping me in the.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Face left and right.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
I am the queen of red flags.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Unfortunately, God, I wanted to hear something.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I want to Yeah, what's her number one red flag?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
I wonder if that means that she's the red flag
or that she dates red flags like which she.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Says, they're slapping in the face.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, she's surrounded by them.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I think some people just have bad luck, yeah dating, Yeah,
I know people like that. They're good people, they are,
but they just have bad luck just the way it is.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
My biggest red flag is guys that don't have any
close friends in college. I dated a guy that had
no close friends from college, and I feel like that
should have been a red flag because that means he's
still in a high school mindset and not growing and
changing and becoming a better person at all, because college
(13:37):
is when you grow and you figure out who you are.
So he doesn't know who he is.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Okay, I only have one friend from college who's like
my best friend, but like that's I didn't really I
don't really see that big of a idea.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
My brother all his friends, there's.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Like eight of them from high school that they're like
still in the same Like it's always that that's his crew,
that's his and they're all good guys.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
I don't really see an issue.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I think that has a lot about character.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
If you have childhood friends, right, absolutely, you know you
grow together. If you can grow together in your friendship,
that's really great.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I don't think I have a single college friend.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
You didn't really go to college.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
To colleges and you have to school. You have your
friend dookie. Yeah, that's like your child friend. Ye been
friend for a long time.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think one of the big life lessons that I
learned is when you get older, you realize you really
only have a couple of friends.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Child yeah with you.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, it's just how it goes.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
The circle gets smaller and I'm smaller as you get older.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
When I see someone that has like eighty five bridesmaids
and eighty six rooms, that's you, guys, are red flags.
You're getting divorced because no, like, what is all going
what's going on here?
Speaker 8 (14:44):
And you don't know, you don't have to value a relationship.
And if you have eighty seven of them, you can't
keep up with that many people.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, it's a little weird.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
Oh my god, so many red flags. I would say.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
A guy that immediately calls baby when they talk to you,
or somebody that's.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
All partying, like a party here and there, not bad,
but always partying.
Speaker 16 (15:05):
It's just nope, I'm past that point.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Have a good day, all right, solid red flags. Ooh,
we are so close to number one, but gotta get
to number two. First.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Good morning everyone, Happy Saturday. It is justin and number
two moments all about Christmas decorations. When is it too
early to start? My house started earlier than ever this year.
My house is all Christmas and you know what I'm
happy about it.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Rosandra, Good morning, by the way, Rosanda, I love Gloucester.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It's a beautiful town.
Speaker 14 (15:35):
Oh oh thanks, I love it too.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
So what do you think about the Christmas decorations.
Speaker 16 (15:42):
I agree one hundred percent with that study. My tree
is already up, so I used to put it up
the weekend before Thanksgiving growing up as a child, but now,
you know, it just gives that warm, cozy feeling, so
I like it up early.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It doesn't it's so dark out now, so early. It's
just nice to have something to look at.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah, it's good to have it up early.
Speaker 16 (16:03):
Absolutely, I love it.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Well, thank you, Rosandro. That's a nice It sounds the
Portuguese to me. It does right a lot of Portuguese people, and.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I love gloss there. I don't get there often. When
I do, I love it.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Oh they have beautiful beaches. It's just a cool time.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, So this is this is a
hot topic. I'm telling you. I didn't think it was.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You know when when my wife said to me this
weekend we're decorating, I was like, whatever, happy wife, happy life.
But then I started seeing all over social media people
are really starting early.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
I just turned the station on and thank you so
much for this topic, because my head is spinning, my
stomach is a nots But you know what, you're right,
Christmas makes me happy.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
I'm going to get my decorations out of the attic. Thanks, guys,
I think.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
About it that way.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
If things didn't go your way last night, just put
up the decorations.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
She even has the smell in my house.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, the evergreen smell.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Smells like a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yes, it's a really good sense.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
A little bit too much though, a little headache. Yeah,
it smells like Christmas. Looks like Christmas.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Dude.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
You got to know now when you get home today,
everything's going up.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh, I know most of it is.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, especially because we're adding a second tree.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Let me ask you a question, Jess, when was the
last time you actually made a decision.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh at my house, it's been a while.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Yeah, it's something you want. You give it up.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
My day is coming soon.
Speaker 12 (17:26):
I feel very passionate about the topic today.
Speaker 14 (17:29):
I hate hate.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
When decorations go up too early. I just think you're
short changing the other holidays that are coming. Like I
saw somebody put decorations for Christmas up before Halloween even
came and went. And then my birthday is in November,
and I love my birthday, and I love Thanksgiving, and
don't forget about Thanksgiving. So hold off until the Christmas
decorations until it's time for Christmas.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I got to tell you.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I remember three four weeks ago, it was a big
story on TikTok, people saying, yeah, I'm putting my tree
up now. True, you know, and that's probably what triggered
this study. Right, makes you happier put them up. I
don't know. We may not put them up this year
because but we're leaving town on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So this is the reason why you should put it
up early.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Even before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I think.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So that's actually perfect. You actually should. Okay, you should
put them up early, for sure, That's what I say.
Speaker 12 (18:22):
I have to say.
Speaker 16 (18:23):
I do agree with decorating early for Christmas. I actually
hate the holidays, but I like where my house is decorated.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Something about coming home from a hard day's work and
just staring at my tree.
Speaker 16 (18:35):
It just like puts me in a great moon.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's so true.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
And also these faux trees that we all have now
like they look great.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Oh, they've come a long way.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Mine is is, it's three pieces, has lights on it already, Yeah,
fold right up.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But it's five minutes the tree is up.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
It takes a while to straightened and short the branches
a little right. You know what I love. We have
a nutcracker collection. Oh look at you have thirty of them.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
Fancy, you know, from different years, different styles nutcrackers doing
different things, carolers.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
That's one of my favorite things. Lasa is looking at me.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Do you like the giant nutcrackers?
Speaker 12 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I don't have, like the side like three feet tall?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
No? Do you have weight? Do you have or have
you ever had? The little villages?
Speaker 10 (19:22):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, I don't do those anymore. I left those.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Yeah, they light up and you have to put the
little people around singing carols.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
A whole town and the fakes.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
No year, there was a point in my life where
I had ten or eleven houses the village and you'd
have to set up the village and you know the lights.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, at least have a train set go around.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
So I've had my Christmas decorations up since the day
after Halloween, and the only reason is because I want
the Christmas season to last as long as possible.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That season in general just makes me so happy.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
And just seeing a Christmas tree when I'm watching TV,
and I just know that it's going to be a
season full of family.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
And parties and fun and I just love.
Speaker 13 (20:10):
Christmas, so I want it to last as long as
it can.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Have you ever been to somebody's house who does the
fake fireplace and the TV you know next to the tree.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Oh yeah, let's go to Erica online too, the crackling.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Hi Erica, good morning. What do you think way in?
Speaker 14 (20:31):
Good morning? Well, I have a unique situation. My best
friend puts up a Christmas tree all year round and
leaves it there and then decorates it. It's a huge tree.
It's like thirteen feet tall and it reaches the top
of her cathedral ceilings. And then she decorates it like
according to each Holliday. So like she just said, a
(20:54):
Halloween tree, and then she'll have a Thanks Me tree.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And then what's actually idea?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Yeah, so it just stays in the house all year, all.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Year, so it's a spooky tree and Halloween.
Speaker 14 (21:09):
Yeah, it was a spooky tree on Halloween.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
And what did they do fun Easter?
Speaker 6 (21:13):
They put like Easter eggs on Yeah. Yeah, how far
in New Hampshire? Are you or your friend?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
And here we go. Number one moment coming your way.
It is justin here. Thank you for being here. In
the number one moment has to do with me. So
Marie Stefanos from WCVB Channel five has to do a
profile on my story. I've had a lot of struggles
in my life. We recorded the interview a while back.
It aired this week and the response was incredible. I
(21:46):
never expected it. If you want to see the video
about my story, go to my instagram at just to
Beezy or kiss one awaits instagram as well. Thank you
everybody for your support, your kind words, your encouragement. It
means the world to me. Number one moment, Thank you
so much. To Maria Stefanos. Here is your number one moment.
Love you guys, dude.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
You were featured on Channel five twice last night at
five and again at eleven.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I watched the five o'clock one with Maria Stefano. Shout
out to her, and I just watched the eleven o'clock
one online.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh you have it?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Is it different?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
It's different?
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Okay, we need to see it.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, there's more of it.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
So yeah, amazing job by her, and I want to
thank her for in our whole team, for coming and
talking to me and you know, telling my story. See
you guys know my story. I mean, you know all
the crazy story I mean, Winnie and I do an
after show, I talk about all that kind of raw stuff,
but you know, to sit down in kind of a
one on one setting and kind of go into more
(22:39):
detail was not easy to do. But I thought it
was important. It's important to get that message out, and.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Maria did a beautiful job presenting it. Michelle and I
both cried.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
On the couch, so a lot of crying. My phone
hasn't stopped since then. Obviously, my wife and I cried,
you know, when it happened. I kind of lost it
a little bit because we've been through a lot, you know,
we've been through a lot together, and to get to
this moment, you know, I'm living my dream on the radio.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
She's living her dream as a nurse, you know, and.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Then your dream together of owning a home and having children.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah, oh, it's just really cool.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Hey, justin just felt like I needed to call. The
story about you and Jen was incredible. The biggest one,
The biggest part for me was that you got you
walked by people on the ground when you went to
the garden, and nobody that you worked with knew that
that was you in the past. That was the biggest,
the most emotional part of watching that incredible story.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Keep up the great work.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Yeah, as someone that works with you every day, we
talk about your past, but like, I don't think it
always resonates how real it was for you, because for me,
it's just stories from like fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Ago, right, and I make them funny. Yeah, you know,
it wasn't funny at the time. It's funny to look
back at them now. But yeah, I spent a good
amount of time on the streets in Boston, living at
Saint Francis House, living at Kingston House, being kicked out
of those places, kicked out of the shelter and having
nowhere to go, Sleeping on the Boston common, you know
what I mean, every day trying to get a bed,
a free care bed, no health insurance, right, had no money,
(24:04):
and I would sleep on the bench and I would
try to sleep, get up.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I'd go ask someone.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
For a quarter to call the detox at seven am
and they would say, sorry, justin no beds today, call
back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Oh my god, day after day. So I remember those moments.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
So, yes, that's why I brought it up, because you know,
we go out a lot, we're in Boston, we see
those people, and.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I'm like, I don't think they really understand.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Yeah, so just we do, trust me, we do.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Now, Maria teased the eleven o'clock because it was a
totally separate piece covering different materials.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
So how different was it.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I go more into you know, when I was growing up,
my love of radio, listening to this show while I
was incarcerated studying kind of the breakdown of the show
just because I was a fan. And then you know,
getting out and going back to college and Northern Essex
and all that.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
So I go more into detail.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I mean, you have to remember when I got cleaned
with my wife, I lived in a rooming house. We
had no cars, we had no money, we had nothing,
you know, and she's stuck by me the entire time.
She watched my kind of ride and then she got
on her journey.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
She loved me when I was three hundred and fifty pounds.
Imagine that when the dollar menu was my best friend,
you know, and she never said anything to me, she
never judged me. She loved me through it, and you know,
I love her. So I had to give her a
good shout out because she's so important.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
So so I'm guessing I probably ended pretty well.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
No, she's sick as a dog.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Oh God, bad timing as a dog.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Shout out to everybody.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I justin.
Speaker 12 (25:32):
I don't usually watch Channel five News at five, but
I did because I wanted to see you and hear
your story.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
I am so proud of you.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
I just can't.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I mean, you brought me to tears.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Keep up what you're doing.
Speaker 12 (25:45):
And you are great.
Speaker 14 (25:47):
And again, I just I'm just so proud of you.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Take you, love you, bye bye.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Can I just tell you one of my favorite parts
of this whole thing. I came in this morning now
my piece air last night. I came in this morning,
four am, and there were about one hundred and fifty
talk backs and there's even more.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Train them so well, then we go.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
We've trained them like they saw my piece and they knew,
Oh I got to leave a talk back.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah they did.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Well.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
That's the Billy and Lisa show has a dedicated follower.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I have to ask parents.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Watch my mother. My mother did.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
She was very very emotional. Yeah, very emotional. I don't
know if my dad saw yet. It's kind of a
you know, I love my dad, but you know it's
touchy subject.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, I don't really talk about my past watches.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
He will.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
He's super proud of me, I know, but you know
it's it's tough, man. But your brother and my brother
did not message me yet. But these are touchy, touchy subject.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
I gotta tell you though, and I don't want to
get involved, but if it's a touchy subject, your dad
should watch.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I think he will, No, I know he will. I
know he's proud of me, but you know, get it more.
I put him through a lot, but he was always
he was always the one to come visit me. You know,
he never turned his back on me.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
So yeah, just yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Thank you, thank you everybody.
It's the best of billion Lisa in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, here we go we meet again. What up everybody?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
It is Justin and welcome to your top five moments
from the Billy and Lisa Show this week. If you
missed any of the show, you can always catch up
on the podcast just search Billy and Lisa in the Morning,
or you can catch up right here every Saturday morning
at eight am on Kiss.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
When I wait, So let's get right into it.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Your number five moment from this week was kind of
a life lesson one talking about regrets. Regrets in your
career or maybe your relationship. We all have them, and
you know what, hopefully we learn from them. Number five.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
All right, biggest regrets in careers and relationships? Do you
want me to start with my biggest regret in my
relationships over the years, always changing myself for the other person,
never having the confidence to say this is who I
am and this is what I want. And now, finally, in.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
My elder years, I have.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
The confidence to say that there we go. No, but
it's so true. When I was in my twenties, I
was always changing myself for the guy that I was with,
thinking that that's what he wanted. Or trying to fit
into his life. And if I could tell my younger
self something like be who you are and be happy
with who you are and confident because it matters.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm serious.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
That's a good one and I bet that's a common
one too.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, and I think it comes with age too, as
you experience, you know, as you get older, a little
bit older, and you go through.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Things, you know, you learn, and then you become you
become more confident.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Then how about a regret and career?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Know your value?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yes, no, know your value again, that's the biggest thing
anyone listening out there.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Don't devalue yourself.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Should we march down to the front office.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
You have to have the same.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
These are the biggest things that I've learned.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Mine, I think is the same for both career and relationship.
And that is is uh never having spoken up enough.
Speaker 7 (02:03):
Oh my god, that's your whole life, right, that's your
whole life, right.
Speaker 8 (02:07):
I wish you was.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
It's true in relationships and careers.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, stick to you, you hold your ground.
Speaker 9 (02:15):
Billy is very passive, very just never speaking up, saying
responding to something the way I really want to, saying
what I really want to say.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I always hold back.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, you're more of a lover than a fighter.
Speaker 10 (02:28):
He is.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You know.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
That's a good way, but that's how you get walked
all over. You don't be a fighter to speak up
for yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, you don't want to be a doormat.
Speaker 8 (02:36):
Yeah, Billy says. It says welcome on Billy's forehead.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But because I do the same thing, we're very similar.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Yeah, that's right, you're both passing witty.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
That is not your problem.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
I no, I'm not. I'm not. Mine would be not
following my intuition.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
I think a lot of the times I've let I've
talked myself out of things that I knew to be
true because I either didn't want it to be the
reality or someone was telling me he's like no, no,
that's not like that's not the case, and I'm like, no,
I know something's off. So when you know something's off,
but you keep talking yourself out of your intuition because
(03:17):
of the result or whatever you're looking for, that's been
my biggest regret is yeah, justin.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, I mean my career, I really don't have any
regrets per se. I've only had like two jobs in
my life.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
But yeah, flip burgers at friendlies.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I flip burgers at friendlies. I did a couple other jobs.
But now I'm pretty pretty good that way. My relationships.
You know, my wife, we knew each other when we
were very young, but I wasn't confident enough to kind
of pursue it. Yeah, you know, I didn't believe in myself,
so I guess, you know, I wish I would have
done it back then. Luckily we reconnected years later and
(03:56):
I had a little bit more confidence to do so,
So I think my line's but Lisa's a little bit,
you know, be more confident.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Speak up, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yeah, do you want to hear what the list says?
As it kind of goes into exactly what we're saying,
ignoring your own passions, living someone else's life, never truly
knowing yourself, constantly saying yes when you want to say no,
and letting fear make your decisions for you, losing your confidence,
(04:26):
not setting boundaries.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Yeah, boundaries is a big one too.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Wow, Oh I think I have some of all of those.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, I think we all do.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I think we all do. That's why you know it's
the popular list. You know.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
You are and literally says welcome on your forehead.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Hey guys, good morning, welcome back. Justin here your top
five moments from the Billy and Lisa Show this week.
Number four was a very interesting list that we found
had a lot of people talking things that millennials do
that gen Zers do not think are cool anymore.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
At Lisa, you know me, I'm constantly thinking about and
wondering about the gen z Ers and what they're on.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
So I like to keep up to date on the
gen z ors.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You're up at night every single day.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well, there are a lot of things that we used
to do that gen z Ers are saying, you know what,
we don't really need to do those anymore. They're like
traditional expectations that they're ditching. So I have a list
of these things that used to be considered proper etiquette,
but now they're just considered kind of tired. So Number
one is not looking at their cell phone during a conversation.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, that's out.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They want you to look at the cell phone.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Said, they say, it's okay, it's it's.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Totally so gen z Is say, if you're having a
conversation with somebody, okay, talking to them, you can be
looking at your phone while talking to them.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Right, the next one is making polite small talk don't
really not really necessary small talk? No, not wearing, not
wearing sweatpants and public.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Wait well, hold on, hold on, hold on, we have
to discuss these. Okay, no more small talk. So what
are you gonna do? What are you gonna talk about?
Just don't talk at all in your meetings. But for
the first time, you got to start with small talk, right.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I guess. But what they're saying is it's just not
necessary anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You know what you could do medium talk?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
How's your marriage?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Why would you ask me.
Speaker 11 (06:11):
That I'm trying to elevate small talk to medium talk?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, fine, that's all right, that's okay. Almost never yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Almost never there sweatpants does that mean they're in or out?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
That means they're in if you look around you, that's
all anyone's ever wearing now?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Or like sweatsuits?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, yoga pants and sweatpants.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I love a good pair of sweatpants. I will say,
I know, Billy, you won't get caught dead.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
And sweatpants, well, I mean, if I'm going somewhere, I'm
not wearing sweatpants, and I don't wear sweatpants on a plane.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
The one good thing about the pandemic is that could
come to work in my sweatpants every day.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah nice.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Well, I love that you brought that up, because one
of the things on the list is dressing up for
the airplane.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Not necessary.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
That's that's very it never was according to gen Zers,
it's coming their pajamas.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, well, that's exactly what's happening.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I have to give you a I actually I'm buying
a pair of sweatpants.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh what kind the aloe? You know that? The yeah? Matching?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Nice?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, I was online.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I was like, I think I need to wear them
into work on a Friday.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I will, I promise. Another one is making eye contact.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
That's not necessary anymore?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Not necessary.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I hate this list. Oh god, I hate this list.
I'm a millennial, and you know what. I hate this list.
So what are you supposed to? Look at their mouth?
Look you look past them. I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Another one is writing old school thank you notes.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh that's at least a thing.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Oh she's the queen.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Well, I still make my kids do it, just because
I you know, but I've been texting more like thank
yous and stuff like that. But I still like receiving
a nice note. It means like someone took the extra
time and effort. But old gen zers are saying it's
not necessary anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
So do you at least say thank you? Is that okay?
Or is that out?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You can think it. You just think it.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
And they'll pick it up. They'll pick up the vibe. Yeah,
you just think you so.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
So when you meet them, you don't look them in
the eye, right and if they give you something, you
just walk away.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Why not just stay home and Bill?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Can I share one more with you?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Taking off their hat. You don't have to take your
hat off anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Just leave it on.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Where are you supposed to take your hat? Got one
on right now?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You know what dinner?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
They used to say, like take your hat off, my mother,
take your hat off, and I say it to my boys, take.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Your hat off. You don't have to say that anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
So that's out. You just wear your hat and be
happy where your hat okay? Really?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well? All right, well there you go, Gus. I'm not
a big fan of this list.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
The eye contact one I hate because that was a
big thing for me, was learning to look people in
the eye when I meet them.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yes, And when people meet me and they do not
look me in the eye, I do not.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
But I can kind of see where they're coming from.
Because if you're looking in the eye too long, it
gets a little creepy.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Are you a long starer? What does that mean?
Speaker 12 (09:10):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
But I like to make eye contact.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, just quickly when I meet some I just met
the new boss. We have a new boss here, DJ.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
DJ?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I met him and I went up to him, shook
his hand, and I looked him right in the eye,
looked into his soul.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Then keep doing that. Do what you want to do?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
What I'm saying, Yeah, I've got to go say hello
to one by the way, say thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So let me ask you a question. Do you have
certain red flags when it comes to relationships and dating?
Certain things stick out to you. This was a topic
on the show this week. Olivia Rodrigo mentioned what her
red flag is number three.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
So Olivia Rodrigo got us on this topic. I guess
over the weekend she was talking about her red flag
so when it comes to dating, and said the one
thing that really is a red flag for her as
if she asked somebody if a guy, if he wants
to go into space, and he says yes, that's a
red flag because that means he's full of himself.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And you yours was hygiene, Yeah, but feet too, right, Well,
it falls into the hygiene.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Cat falls into hygiene. Yeah right.
Speaker 13 (10:10):
Geez, Nichols Billy again making me feel baby about my feet.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
I called him before.
Speaker 13 (10:15):
You call myself gollum just because I have ugly feet.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I do have good hygiene.
Speaker 13 (10:19):
I'm at the hairdresser every five weeks, shout out to
briokay and quinsy lovey Kayla. I get facials, I do
derma plating. I can't help it. If God gave me
wrinkly feet. With Jimmy Jimmy Dean sausages as toes. There's
only so much that Neil Polish can do.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I never said anything about her feet. Great, I just
said hygiene.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
No, you link the two together. You did the ugly
feet with the hygiene. She's saying that she has good hides.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Her feet could be beautiful in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, no, she said they're like gollum. Oh yeah, sausage toes.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Squeeze him in a shoe. Let's go to Jane. She's
from and Jane, you're first on the phones.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Give us a red flag, give us a good one, Jane.
Speaker 14 (11:06):
Okay, Well, if somebody does not like children or animals
or pets, then you don't want anything to do with them.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah that's a good one too. Yeah, pets, Yeah, totally.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Actually, Jane, that is a good one. That would be
one of my red flags.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
If you hated animals or especially.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Dogs, even if you didn't like dogs, that would be
a red flag.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
But that's a good one, Jane, Thank you, good call.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But does the person have to be as much of
a pet person as you know?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I don't think so. They just can't hate animals.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Yeah, some people would just come out for no reason
and say, yeah, I don't like dogs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah I'm not dogs.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
I didn't even ask you, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
True.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
As soon as they order a drink with dark liquor,
red flag.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah that's interesting, like some Hennessy or something.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I can see that.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And he's talking about brown liquors, which is scotch and whiskey.
Speaker 15 (11:58):
Dos uh do brown liquor? It is tall doers. Yeah,
well you know whiskey, I mean brown liquors.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Are very strong. They're there not for the leading.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Oh no, they are powerful, Kim, and they tend to
be an angry high.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Seems like it whiskey.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know Cosmo's okay, it's kind of happened.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That's a fun drink.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, that's a billy drink.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, good morning, morning crew.
Speaker 10 (12:31):
You want to talk about red flags, Well, let me
tell you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
My entire life has just been filled with red.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Flags literally whipping me in the.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Face left and right.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
I am the queen of red flags.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Unfortunately, God, I wanted to hear something.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I want to Yeah, what's her number one red flag?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
I wonder if that means that she's the red flag
or that she dates red flags like which she.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Says, they're slapping in the face.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, she's surrounded by them.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I think some people just have bad luck, yeah dating, Yeah,
I know people like that. They're good people, they are,
but they just have bad luck just the way it is.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
My biggest red flag is guys that don't have any
close friends in college. I dated a guy that had
no close friends from college, and I feel like that
should have been a red flag because that means he's
still in a high school mindset and not growing and
changing and becoming a better person at all, because college
(13:37):
is when you grow and you figure out who you are.
So he doesn't know who he is.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Okay, I only have one friend from college who's like
my best friend, but like that's I didn't really I
don't really see that big of a idea.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
My brother all his friends, there's.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Like eight of them from high school that they're like
still in the same Like it's always that that's his crew,
that's his and they're all good guys.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
I don't really see an issue.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I think that has a lot about character.
Speaker 7 (14:04):
If you have childhood friends, right, absolutely, you know you
grow together. If you can grow together in your friendship,
that's really great.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I don't think I have a single college friend.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
You didn't really go to college.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
To colleges and you have to school. You have your
friend dookie. Yeah, that's like your child friend. Ye been
friend for a long time.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think one of the big life lessons that I
learned is when you get older, you realize you really
only have a couple of friends.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Child yeah with you.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, it's just how it goes.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
The circle gets smaller and I'm smaller as you get older.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
When I see someone that has like eighty five bridesmaids
and eighty six rooms, that's you, guys, are red flags.
You're getting divorced because no, like, what is all going
what's going on here?
Speaker 8 (14:44):
And you don't know, you don't have to value a relationship.
And if you have eighty seven of them, you can't
keep up with that many people.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, it's a little weird.
Speaker 8 (14:50):
Oh my god, so many red flags. I would say.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
A guy that immediately calls baby when they talk to you,
or somebody that's.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
All partying, like a party here and there, not bad,
but always partying.
Speaker 16 (15:05):
It's just nope, I'm past that point.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Have a good day, all right, solid red flags. Ooh,
we are so close to number one, but gotta get
to number two. First.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Good morning everyone, Happy Saturday. It is justin and number
two moments all about Christmas decorations. When is it too
early to start? My house started earlier than ever this year.
My house is all Christmas and you know what I'm
happy about it.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Rosandra, Good morning, by the way, Rosanda, I love Gloucester.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
It's a beautiful town.
Speaker 14 (15:35):
Oh oh thanks, I love it too.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
So what do you think about the Christmas decorations.
Speaker 16 (15:42):
I agree one hundred percent with that study. My tree
is already up, so I used to put it up
the weekend before Thanksgiving growing up as a child, but now,
you know, it just gives that warm, cozy feeling, so
I like it up early.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It doesn't it's so dark out now, so early. It's
just nice to have something to look at.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah, it's good to have it up early.
Speaker 16 (16:03):
Absolutely, I love it.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Well, thank you, Rosandro. That's a nice It sounds the
Portuguese to me. It does right a lot of Portuguese people, and.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I love gloss there. I don't get there often. When
I do, I love it.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Oh they have beautiful beaches. It's just a cool time.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, So this is this is a
hot topic. I'm telling you. I didn't think it was.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You know when when my wife said to me this
weekend we're decorating, I was like, whatever, happy wife, happy life.
But then I started seeing all over social media people
are really starting early.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
I just turned the station on and thank you so
much for this topic, because my head is spinning, my
stomach is a nots But you know what, you're right,
Christmas makes me happy.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
I'm going to get my decorations out of the attic. Thanks, guys,
I think.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
About it that way.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
If things didn't go your way last night, just put
up the decorations.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
She even has the smell in my house.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, the evergreen smell.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Smells like a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yes, it's a really good sense.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
A little bit too much though, a little headache. Yeah,
it smells like Christmas. Looks like Christmas.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Dude.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
You got to know now when you get home today,
everything's going up.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh, I know most of it is.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, especially because we're adding a second tree.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Let me ask you a question, Jess, when was the
last time you actually made a decision.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh at my house, it's been a while.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Yeah, it's something you want. You give it up.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
My day is coming soon.
Speaker 12 (17:26):
I feel very passionate about the topic today.
Speaker 14 (17:29):
I hate hate.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
When decorations go up too early. I just think you're
short changing the other holidays that are coming. Like I
saw somebody put decorations for Christmas up before Halloween even
came and went. And then my birthday is in November,
and I love my birthday, and I love Thanksgiving, and
don't forget about Thanksgiving. So hold off until the Christmas
decorations until it's time for Christmas.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I got to tell you.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I remember three four weeks ago, it was a big
story on TikTok, people saying, yeah, I'm putting my tree
up now. True, you know, and that's probably what triggered
this study. Right, makes you happier put them up. I
don't know. We may not put them up this year
because but we're leaving town on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So this is the reason why you should put it
up early.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Even before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I think.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So that's actually perfect. You actually should. Okay, you should
put them up early, for sure, That's what I say.
Speaker 12 (18:22):
I have to say.
Speaker 16 (18:23):
I do agree with decorating early for Christmas. I actually
hate the holidays, but I like where my house is decorated.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Something about coming home from a hard day's work and
just staring at my tree.
Speaker 16 (18:35):
It just like puts me in a great moon.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's so true.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
And also these faux trees that we all have now
like they look great.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Oh, they've come a long way.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Mine is is, it's three pieces, has lights on it already, Yeah,
fold right up.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But it's five minutes the tree is up.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
It takes a while to straightened and short the branches
a little right. You know what I love. We have
a nutcracker collection. Oh look at you have thirty of them.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
Fancy, you know, from different years, different styles nutcrackers doing
different things, carolers.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
That's one of my favorite things. Lasa is looking at me.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Do you like the giant nutcrackers?
Speaker 12 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I don't have, like the side like three feet tall?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
No? Do you have weight? Do you have or have
you ever had? The little villages?
Speaker 10 (19:22):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, I don't do those anymore. I left those.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Yeah, they light up and you have to put the
little people around singing carols.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
A whole town and the fakes.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
No year, there was a point in my life where
I had ten or eleven houses the village and you'd
have to set up the village and you know the lights.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, at least have a train set go around.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
So I've had my Christmas decorations up since the day
after Halloween, and the only reason is because I want
the Christmas season to last as long as possible.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That season in general just makes me so happy.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
And just seeing a Christmas tree when I'm watching TV,
and I just know that it's going to be a
season full of family.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
And parties and fun and I just love.
Speaker 13 (20:10):
Christmas, so I want it to last as long as
it can.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Have you ever been to somebody's house who does the
fake fireplace and the TV you know next to the tree.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Oh yeah, let's go to Erica online too, the crackling.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Hi Erica, good morning. What do you think way in?
Speaker 14 (20:31):
Good morning? Well, I have a unique situation. My best
friend puts up a Christmas tree all year round and
leaves it there and then decorates it. It's a huge tree.
It's like thirteen feet tall and it reaches the top
of her cathedral ceilings. And then she decorates it like
according to each Holliday. So like she just said, a
(20:54):
Halloween tree, and then she'll have a Thanks Me tree.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And then what's actually idea?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Yeah, so it just stays in the house all year, all.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Year, so it's a spooky tree and Halloween.
Speaker 14 (21:09):
Yeah, it was a spooky tree on Halloween.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
And what did they do fun Easter?
Speaker 6 (21:13):
They put like Easter eggs on Yeah. Yeah, how far
in New Hampshire? Are you or your friend?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
And here we go. Number one moment coming your way.
It is justin here. Thank you for being here. In
the number one moment has to do with me. So
Marie Stefanos from WCVB Channel five has to do a
profile on my story. I've had a lot of struggles
in my life. We recorded the interview a while back.
It aired this week and the response was incredible. I
(21:46):
never expected it. If you want to see the video
about my story, go to my instagram at just to
Beezy or kiss one awaits instagram as well. Thank you
everybody for your support, your kind words, your encouragement. It
means the world to me. Number one moment, Thank you
so much. To Maria Stefanos. Here is your number one moment.
Love you guys, dude.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
You were featured on Channel five twice last night at
five and again at eleven.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I watched the five o'clock one with Maria Stefano. Shout
out to her, and I just watched the eleven o'clock
one online.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh you have it?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Is it different?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
It's different?
Speaker 8 (22:16):
Okay, we need to see it.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, there's more of it.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
So yeah, amazing job by her, and I want to
thank her for in our whole team, for coming and
talking to me and you know, telling my story. See
you guys know my story. I mean, you know all
the crazy story I mean, Winnie and I do an
after show, I talk about all that kind of raw stuff,
but you know, to sit down in kind of a
one on one setting and kind of go into more
(22:39):
detail was not easy to do. But I thought it
was important. It's important to get that message out, and.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Maria did a beautiful job presenting it. Michelle and I
both cried.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
On the couch, so a lot of crying. My phone
hasn't stopped since then. Obviously, my wife and I cried,
you know, when it happened. I kind of lost it
a little bit because we've been through a lot, you know,
we've been through a lot together, and to get to
this moment, you know, I'm living my dream on the radio.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
She's living her dream as a nurse, you know, and.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Then your dream together of owning a home and having children.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah, oh, it's just really cool.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Hey, justin just felt like I needed to call. The
story about you and Jen was incredible. The biggest one,
The biggest part for me was that you got you
walked by people on the ground when you went to
the garden, and nobody that you worked with knew that
that was you in the past. That was the biggest,
the most emotional part of watching that incredible story.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Keep up the great work.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Yeah, as someone that works with you every day, we
talk about your past, but like, I don't think it
always resonates how real it was for you, because for me,
it's just stories from like fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Ago, right, and I make them funny. Yeah, you know,
it wasn't funny at the time. It's funny to look
back at them now. But yeah, I spent a good
amount of time on the streets in Boston, living at
Saint Francis House, living at Kingston House, being kicked out
of those places, kicked out of the shelter and having
nowhere to go, Sleeping on the Boston common, you know
what I mean, every day trying to get a bed,
a free care bed, no health insurance, right, had no money,
(24:04):
and I would sleep on the bench and I would
try to sleep, get up.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I'd go ask someone.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
For a quarter to call the detox at seven am
and they would say, sorry, justin no beds today, call
back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Oh my god, day after day. So I remember those moments.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
So, yes, that's why I brought it up, because you know,
we go out a lot, we're in Boston, we see
those people, and.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I'm like, I don't think they really understand.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Yeah, so just we do, trust me, we do.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Now, Maria teased the eleven o'clock because it was a
totally separate piece covering different materials.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
So how different was it.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I go more into you know, when I was growing up,
my love of radio, listening to this show while I
was incarcerated studying kind of the breakdown of the show
just because I was a fan. And then you know,
getting out and going back to college and Northern Essex
and all that.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
So I go more into detail.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I mean, you have to remember when I got cleaned
with my wife, I lived in a rooming house. We
had no cars, we had no money, we had nothing,
you know, and she's stuck by me the entire time.
She watched my kind of ride and then she got
on her journey.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
She loved me when I was three hundred and fifty pounds.
Imagine that when the dollar menu was my best friend,
you know, and she never said anything to me, she
never judged me. She loved me through it, and you know,
I love her. So I had to give her a
good shout out because she's so important.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
So so I'm guessing I probably ended pretty well.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
No, she's sick as a dog.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Oh God, bad timing as a dog.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Shout out to everybody.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I justin.
Speaker 12 (25:32):
I don't usually watch Channel five News at five, but
I did because I wanted to see you and hear
your story.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
I am so proud of you.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
I just can't.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I mean, you brought me to tears.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Keep up what you're doing.
Speaker 12 (25:45):
And you are great.
Speaker 14 (25:47):
And again, I just I'm just so proud of you.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Take you, love you, bye bye.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Can I just tell you one of my favorite parts
of this whole thing. I came in this morning now
my piece air last night. I came in this morning,
four am, and there were about one hundred and fifty
talk backs and there's even more.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Train them so well, then we go.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
We've trained them like they saw my piece and they knew,
Oh I got to leave a talk back.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah they did.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Well.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
That's the Billy and Lisa show has a dedicated follower.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I have to ask parents.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Watch my mother. My mother did.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
She was very very emotional. Yeah, very emotional. I don't
know if my dad saw yet. It's kind of a
you know, I love my dad, but you know it's
touchy subject.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, I don't really talk about my past watches.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
He will.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
He's super proud of me, I know, but you know
it's it's tough, man. But your brother and my brother
did not message me yet. But these are touchy, touchy subject.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
I gotta tell you though, and I don't want to
get involved, but if it's a touchy subject, your dad
should watch.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I think he will, No, I know he will. I
know he's proud of me, but you know, get it more.
I put him through a lot, but he was always
he was always the one to come visit me. You know,
he never turned his back on me.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
So yeah, just yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Thank you, thank you everybody.
