some of the questions.

to you, but there's only so much slimming black does.
Black can't save everybody the black hair, and then all
the girls think they're the Kardashian's more.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
It's more like a group of people, not necessarily a
very vague question.

Chris knows this answer. Give me something, some kind of
a hint.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss What are You So?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Once again? On The Billion Least The Morning Show, You
never really know, We never really know what's gonna happen
morning to morning. Uh, we got to call a damon
John from Shark Tank's going to be in town justin.
You took the call and you booked him to come
on the show. Line.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, I'm a huge Shark Tank fan. And the cool
thing was he just wanted to come in and talk
about Shark Tank in his career. It's just a really
fun guy.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And we didn't see it coming, lease, but people started
pitching him on our show.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And Damon loved it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
We're talking Shark Tank, baby, let's go go.
Speaker 11 (07:37):
I know you sorry coming That is probably of ABC
MGM came.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
John had nothing to do with both through. I think
we get out of it fast enough. We don't have
to pay anything to anyone. I'm just saying, boy, you
are sharpest attack. Damon. Thank you. Now you started with
the lion Woods at Fubu. I'm telling you, Damon, I
swear I used to wear fubu and I probably don't
look like a fubuo wearing you look exactly like, but
(08:05):
I'm telling you. And I was looking at some of
the pictures and I did some digging. I said, I
think I had that shirt.
Speaker 11 (08:10):
You absolutely, I'm trusting me. A lot of people didn't
realize they had fooble when they had it, So we
sold a lot to TV Max and Burlington too as well.
And people going.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
There and then not looking at any label name, They're
looking at the price. Yeah right you. So, by the way,
we're talking to Damon John from Shark Tank. If you're
listening and you have a product that you want to
run by Damon, I mean feel imagine if somebody hit
it big just by a quick phone call with you
this morning. If they did, that would be great. And
just give me a royalty. Yeah yeah, it is a
(08:40):
six one seven, nine one one one way. And I'm
not kidding. If you want to run something by now,
I want to hear them. Started in Queen's and it
started out of your house, right your mom's house sat
out of the basement. I stood in the corner nineteen.
Speaker 11 (08:58):
Eighty nine, good Friday, three o'c in the afternoon, and
I sold a couple of hats that I made the
night before, sold eight nd. I was with the hats,
and I remember saying, I made this with my own hands.
I will never work for anybody for the rest of
my life. And I worked with Red Lobster for five
years after that.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But other story, were you any good at Red Lobster.
What did you do now? I was great. I was
a waiter.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I was a waiter.
Speaker 11 (09:19):
I worked at Red Lops. I was the best waiter ever.
But I learned more importantly. I would read the books
the managers would put out. Although the waiters weren't reading anything.
Every quarterly report I would read because I didn't go
to college. I didn't I didn't have enough money to
go to college, and I'm dyslexic. The only thing I
did in school that was notable is I like the
seventh grade so much I took it twice, so.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I started to do keep that mind, I understood sales
and everything from Red Lobster. Believe it or not. Wow,
But I should have sayed it. Maybe I'd helped them recently.
But clearly you have a great memory. I'm very impressed
that you remembered the moment, the date, the time, the
place where it started with the baseball hats.
Speaker 11 (09:56):
Well, you know, I think every one of us remember
that special moment or time in place where they I
would change good, bad, or indifferent. And it's those moments
that define us, I think.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And didn't you grab all your friends and they started
working with you too?
Speaker 11 (10:10):
I did but that was after I failed and closed
fuble three times from eighty nine to ninety two, and
then I realized I needed friends. There's a big O
five on all the shirts, right because I brought in
It was always supposed to be five of us, and I.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Brought in ten of that fifth member.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
They never stuck around, so you got ten people running
around talking about I'm the fifth member of Fubu when
it's only four of us.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
So, since you have a great memory, can you recall
the biggest deal that was made through you on shark
tak'st with you? Which one was it? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (10:45):
It was these two amazing young men and one of them,
I think maybe both, but I know one of them,
David went to Babson.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh that's right?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
What wow? Right? I was on.
Speaker 11 (10:56):
I was an entrepreneur in residence at Babson for two
years and they created a company called Bomba Socks.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You probably are You probably buy a pair.
Speaker 11 (11:05):
I have a lot of Bomba song Yeah, and they
will do one point seven billion.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Dollars my god.
Speaker 11 (11:10):
Okay, hold on the Bombas is the number one product
in Shark Tank history. So if you ever interview any
of those underachievers, I call my fellow sharks, you remind
But by the way, more importantly, I think they've given
away now one hundred and twenty million units of clothing
and apparel and socks to the homeless and those in need.
(11:32):
And that is more important than anything else.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Absolutely, Lisa, you gave me. I did.
Speaker 12 (11:37):
So.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
When you buy a pair of socks, they donate a pairs.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
And now they have slippers, especially for you know, the holidays,
so they have slippers and everything else. So you know
today what we realize and they've trained me. They wag
the dog. You know, today somebody like Lisa probably goes,
why am I giving money to people who aren't giving
anybody else? And it and and my daughter will say
to me during the holiday, Dad, you give one time
(12:00):
or ten times a year, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Every time I buy, I give.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
So I'm buying everybody ten pair of Bombas because I'm
letting them know that they've given to others. And that's
why they're the number one product in shark tank history.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Did you say they have slippers? Slippers? Honey? You were
asking me last night, what do I want for Christmas?
Bomba slippers?
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Baby, let's go Obama's Yeah, and They're absolutely amazing company.
But again, Boston's own, you know, and they created a
great brand.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
How about again looking back, the deal that you let
go that hurts the most.
Speaker 11 (12:37):
The deal that I let go that hurts the most
is the second best selling product in Shark Tank history.
And it's not that I let it go. I ratcheted
up the number because I wanted to stick it to her.
The number I think was the investment was like one twenty.
I made her pay like two hundred and four. I
was like, Aha, I got you. And it is a
stupid looking little sponge.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Oh I have it the scrub Daddy.
Speaker 11 (13:03):
Somebody's a Shark Tank junkie around here, and this scrub Daddy,
it's not the scrub Daddy.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It has the scrub Mommy and.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
All kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's got a whole family.
Speaker 11 (13:13):
They even have you know what they even have right now,
and I'm mad because I still have to buy it.
They have these things called the scrub screen Daddies where
you put her on your phone.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And then you can wipe the phone off.
Speaker 11 (13:24):
I'm showing them right now everybody in the studio the
stupid little scrub something, and they're gonna do I think
one point two billion this year they will hit that mark.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well, more important, it was it that didn't make you
buy in on that? Well, I just was mad.
Speaker 11 (13:42):
I was Laurie was fighting against me, and I was like,
you know, Laura and I in the same space. We're
in consumer products, right. But I gotta tell you that
little evil lady. Let me tell you something about Laura.
She has twelve of the top twenty best selling products
in Shark Tank history, twelve of them. I tell everybody,
if it's plastic in on a fifty dollars, she's slinging
it like.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Crack, she's polluting our ocean. Okay, it's not her fault
that you passed on her. It's that idiot lawyer that
wouldn't shut on us. I'm just kidding. Hello, who am
I talking to right now?
Speaker 13 (14:16):
Ni?
Speaker 14 (14:17):
This is Lisa Einstein.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh, Hi, Lisa, say hello to Damon and throwing a pitch.
Speaker 15 (14:22):
Hi, Damon.
Speaker 16 (14:23):
I want to let you know about our new product.
It's called the Throne Topper.
Speaker 14 (14:26):
I think you'll love it. Basically, it's a ferris wheel
or a windmill or dancing flowers that sit on top
of your toilet and when you flush the toilet, it's
flush activated. They start spinning and singing to remind you
to wash your hands.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Is it me, damon or do a lot of people
have a fascination with the toilet?
Speaker 11 (14:46):
Well, we do have fascinating toilet, I like you. So
it says it an idea as a product already out.
Speaker 14 (14:54):
We have a website out thrown tapper dot com and
we've just launched recently, so have you.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
So it's a windmill of something and then when you finish,
it goes, it spins and says wash your hands.
Speaker 14 (15:07):
Yes, exactly, there's a ferris wheel.
Speaker 15 (15:09):
There's a windmill.
Speaker 16 (15:10):
So yeah, you flash the toilet.
Speaker 14 (15:11):
It's got like a little probe that goes into the
toilet tank.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So those guys we kind of like, you know, like
we're simple. We like to kind of hit a target.
Can we hit a target and it spins? Even quicker?
Did anything like that? Going on?
Speaker 16 (15:23):
No, No, you're not supposed to pee on the ferris wheel?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Where the rules already? Well, you know, how many sales
do you have off of the launch.
Speaker 14 (15:44):
Off of the launch, we've sold about eleven. So it's
really you hit the market and you know, flying off
the shelves.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Well, you know, no, you could have sold eleven in
one minute.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
That's totally different than you have a million dollar company,
a multimillion exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I can I just ask one question this ferris wheel,
how close to your toys is it? Because it's a
little sensitive down there?
Speaker 16 (16:10):
No, No, it's up on top of the toilet.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh okay, yeah, so it's kind of like, you know, a.
Speaker 14 (16:16):
Piece of art that lives on your toilet, and then
it's a great surprise, especially when.
Speaker 16 (16:20):
You have guests and they go and plush the toilet.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Is there a.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
Bigger problem that people are going to your bathroom and
not washing their head?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Damon? I think it's right about now you say, I'm out.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
Now.
Speaker 17 (16:34):
That's Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments of twenty
twenty four on kids Want to Wait.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, So if you listen to the Billy and Lisa
Morning Show, you know that producer Riley is a member
of the morning show, and she's said, what do we
call her? An associate producer, Debbie right Les.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, she takes the calls from all of our listeners
and she does a lot of behind the scenes work.
She runs the board She's really an integral part of
what we do on the show.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, we love Riley, and the listeners love Riley because
Riley's voice is the first person they hear when they
call into the show.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah, she does so much for us behind the scenes.
She is, like Lisa said, very important. And she's also learning.
You know, she's younger than all of us, so she's
constantly learning. And you know, for her one year anniversary
in October, we brought her in and had her tell
us what she has.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Learned so far in her role. And I got scared,
but things went okay. Number nine Producer Riley. Today is
her one year anniversary with the Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Congratulations, Ry, thanks thanks for having me here.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Here we are a year later. So we got to
ask while we wait for the winner, we got to ask,
what have you learned from and about each of us
over the course of one year.
Speaker 18 (17:47):
Oh my god, so many things.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I literally made a list.
Speaker 18 (17:49):
I wrote it all down here for you.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Oh okay, all right, you're amazing. Oh stop, I learned
it from you, guys. Let me just quickly go through this.
Speaker 12 (17:59):
So Bill, from what I learned about you, I I
genuinely did not know how funny you are like on
and off the mic. You were so funny. You make
me laugh every single day. I love being in our
little boys club, me, you and Justin in the morning,
I'm just laughing, laughing, Okay.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
But from you, use anything you hear in that room
against us.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Please no, I won't.
Speaker 19 (18:20):
I know.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
O no.
Speaker 12 (18:24):
And then from you, I just learned about professionalism, how
you turn it on and off. You're able to put
everything aside and when the mic is on, you're on.
You're being a professional, You're doing this job, You're being.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
The Billy Costa.
Speaker 12 (18:38):
And I feel like I didn't know how to, you know,
turn it on and off like you do. So I
feel like I've really learned that from you. Oh good, yeah, see,
no bad things guys with your assessment.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
How about Lisa?
Speaker 12 (18:50):
Yeah, So for Lisa, one thing that I learned about
you is I didn't know that you didn't start in
radio and the way that you use your background to
make your judgment and your decisions, like with your pr background.
I didn't know that about you, and knowing that now
makes so much more sense. The way that you run
through your decisions and you know, assess.
Speaker 18 (19:10):
Things, So that makes sense. To me now.
Speaker 12 (19:12):
But something that I learned from you is that sometimes
kindness is the best take. Sometimes to make a decision
about something, just be kind. I've fallen into that before,
where I've just been angry or annoyed or something and
I feel like thinking about it in the like, thinking
back on it, I should have just been kind.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And I feel like you are very very good at that.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Thanks, Riley, I.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Have to agree. I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah, whenever I need a perspective or an opinion, I
always go to Lisa because you always give good advice
and always in a kind way.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
You know, Lisa off the air I was talking to,
Riley says, yeah, I was, you know, when I first
got here, I'm so nervous because I mean, Billy and
Lisa you were like god to me.
Speaker 12 (19:55):
Oh so it took me a while to like kind
of work up the courage to really talk to you
guys like people.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Well, you weren't supposed to make eye contact with this, Okay,
how about Justin?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Okay?
Speaker 12 (20:08):
So what I learned about Justin, and I learned this
very quickly from him, is just learn from your mistakes.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Like he says that all the time.
Speaker 12 (20:16):
When I first started and I'd be like, I feel
like I'm messing up. He'd be like, well, it doesn't
matter if you're messing up, just learn from it. Especially
when I was learning the board, that was his number
one thing. And then something that I learned from you
is honestly just everything, like you're I want to be
half the producer that you are. Coming into this job,
I didn't know what I wanted to do, and like
looking over your shoulder every day, I've been.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Like, I want to be like Justin. He's he's the
best producer on the show. I feel like you need
to hear this today.
Speaker 12 (20:45):
But like you, I just want to be half half
the producer.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You know, I try to be humble.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You were watching a master at work, and you probably
also learned about laser hair removal from Justin.
Speaker 12 (20:58):
Oh absolutely, I learned silky smooth.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
It's my self care era.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
As I like to say thank you for those words,
I'm afraid to ask, how about all good things?
Speaker 12 (21:08):
So something I learned about Winnie, I learned this very quickly.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
You have a soft side.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Oh thanks.
Speaker 12 (21:14):
When I first started, she literally said I'm the bitch,
so look out for me, and I was like okay,
and then I was waiting for the shoot to drop
and it never did.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, I think she likes me guys like you.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
It is a miracle. Actually, she Whinny infamously hates everybody
but you. She does have a soft spot.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
For I know.
Speaker 18 (21:32):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It never happened.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Well, you came into the job wanting to learn, so
I think when you want to be a part of
something and learn from the people. But like, that's who
you are, and that's why we love you so much.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Right, we take this seriously, and that you took it
seriously meant a lot to us.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Thanks, and think of it. She's a gen zer.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah, I know everything we talked about about gen zers.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
So it's a party.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
She's not done talking about me.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
You have more something I learned from Winnie. Just stix
to your opinions and don't doubt your instinct.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Thank you. I'll always teach you that. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I could to learn from her that you can have
a pause between the thought and so if you have
a thought, you don't have to speak that.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Oh I don't necessarily, I don't practicily I preach on
how far?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Kiss What Okay, So this moment from twenty twenty four
is going to take us back to May, actually the
end of May, and I think it was Memorial Day
weekend right.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Justin Yeah, and it was all about neighbors who were fighting. Now,
we had this story on the show, you know up
in Maine. You know, they were fighting with each other,
and that led to our topic time. We do that
every morning at seven forty brand new topic every day,
and we ended up getting some crazy neighbor stories, neighbor nightmares.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
What's worse? And yet what's better than that?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Right, Lise, exactly?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
We got some good ones. Number eight, try and what's
your story?
Speaker 15 (22:57):
Hey guys, good morning to you. Thanks for taking my call. Yeah,
my neighbor next door, my dad has always hit for
years that he's buying on everyone. He's crazy. None of
us believe my dad. We're just like, ah, he's a
lonely old guy next door. Nothing wrong. Everyone goes to
the office in my house except for me, who takes
a vacation day. The neighbor must have seen all the
(23:19):
cars leave the driveway and I'm outside with the dog
and the neighbor's an he's a lonely guy. He's in
our driveway with binocular The dog goes nuts and he's
just standing there. And we live on a cul de
sac spying into people's homes. Wow, call running police. They
(23:40):
do nothing. They just said, you know, it's you know,
we have crazy neighbors. But he's technically not doing anything
because he's on like the more sidewalk side of the street,
on near the curb, but not a bad guy. Hasn't
done anything yet. But now we all believe my dad
and we're a little more agile with him. But it's
kind of crazy that these people can live right next
(24:02):
door and sometimes even though they seem lonely, they can
be doing a little bit more mischieff thing.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So your dad was right all along.
Speaker 15 (24:09):
It was for years, but I guess he's been like this,
So yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Well, when you were standing there with you don't when
you were standing there and you saw him with the binoculars,
did you confront him?
Speaker 15 (24:21):
I took a picture of it, and I was like,
I don't know, Like does this guy have a gun?
Like he's big on like he's big on his Vietnam
story and he was wearing one of those hats.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Okay, I did, I did.
Speaker 15 (24:34):
The dog ran right up to him, started barking. I
have a big black lab. She ran up starts barking
at him, and I was just like, hey, what's you know,
what's going on? And all of a sudden he didn't
say anything, quickly turned around and just walked right back
inside his garage, closed the door like nothing happened. But
it's really kind of scary that those people lived lived,
you know, right nearby, you know, so'd be careful.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It's best not to engage. I think you did the
right thing. Let's go to Michelle next. Michelle, you got
a crazy.
Speaker 20 (25:05):
Oh yeah, don't mind the rain. I'm on Morse Bulevarde
and it's crazy. I've got a guy I live in
the city and when.
Speaker 16 (25:11):
It snows, were you stay savors up and whatnot?
Speaker 20 (25:14):
And so there's a lot of older people in the
nable Wood that.
Speaker 15 (25:17):
Don't have cars.
Speaker 16 (25:18):
You can hear him at four in the morning.
Speaker 20 (25:20):
Starting to shouble and he takes all the snow sidewalk.
Speaker 14 (25:24):
And buried in any paw that anywhere near his house.
Speaker 21 (25:29):
And you can't even see your car.
Speaker 20 (25:31):
And if you stubble it out and leave.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
They'll bury it in again.
Speaker 20 (25:35):
He goes like streets down, get the snow, walks back
and will kill just out of fight, out of whatever.
Speaker 15 (25:43):
Not even in front of his house.
Speaker 16 (25:45):
You can be eight houses down and he's burying you in.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
He buries your car.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Story very like you can't imagine.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, a lot of crazy neighbor stories come from the snow. Yes,
people trying to find a parking space, especially in the city.
I could be here because it's really raining out, I
mean so much so there are ducks all over the
property here outside the I just noticed that. I looked
out the window.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Well, going back to that first callar there, every neighborhood
has a busy body, have a nosy neighbor, you know,
which is not always a bad thing. Sometimes they're good.
I actually live with one, you know, my mother in
law downstairs. She's kind of a busy body and she's harmless,
but she knows everything that's going on. Yeah, she talks
to all the neighbors, to the gossip, you know what
I mean. Yeah, So it's not always a bad thing.
(26:30):
But when that dude, that guy is creepy.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, we used to call those a nettigom. She's a
nettigo busy body. You know that, Nonny. She's an interesting character.
We have another Michelle that's back to back. Michelle's Michelle,
you have a good one. Give us some juicy neighbor stories.
Speaker 16 (26:47):
Hi, how are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
We're great, Michelle. Go ahead.
Speaker 16 (26:51):
So I had these neighbors, this husband and wife across
the street from us, and I have basically twin girls,
and we have these flock of like geese come in.
And there was one in particular that was basically dying
and it was laying in the middle of the street,
and then there were some other ones that came in.
(27:12):
Long story short, I caused animal control. They told me
to get a rake and basically go over shoe them off.
So I go outside, I get the rake and start
shooting them off. My neighbors open their windows and start screaming,
you're abusing those peas, You're abusing those peace like they
were nuts. And so I started laughing because there was
(27:36):
a lot of drama between us. And so the next
thing I know, these squad cars come flying onto our
streets with the lights on and they stop me. They
corner me, and they're basically like this is physical abuse
on the geese.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 16 (27:56):
They come out.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
The next thing you.
Speaker 16 (27:58):
Know, the police are over there. I've got police holding
me to the side. The police that were across the
street came over and said, you have got the craziest
blanking neighbors and you need to be you know, you
need to be on guard.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I got to tell you though, you probably looked a
little abusive from a distance with the rake pushing the
geese aside, but they didn't realize you I wasn't.
Speaker 16 (28:23):
Okay, Yeah, I wasn't pushing them, and I was just
kind of running the rake along the ground, and you know,
they were looking for any reason to call the police
on me.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
It was.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, yeah, cop callers. Those are those another party that.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Never gets better. If they have a neighbor that calls
the cops on you, that's it. That's never going to
get better. They want to dial nine one one so bad,
it's on speed dial. They wanted to get excited, you know.
And then and then they hide in their house and
they watch out the of the current and they peak
to see when the cops come. It's the worst.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
But billion you mentioned a couple of minutes ago. Neighbor
when you were younger used to steal your balls. That's
a true story. Yeah, and alone.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
So we had a.
Speaker 13 (29:03):
Neighbor growing up as kids, and she did exactly what
Billy's neighbor did and.
Speaker 21 (29:07):
Would keep all of our balls.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
And she did this for the years, much older lady, and.
Speaker 13 (29:13):
One day she passed away, and when they were having
an open house, we all walked in and found all
the balls.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Actually them. I even remember the woman's name, Guccatine. Gujautine
was her name, Kujia teen. Yeah, she was, you know,
not from this country.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
And it's so crazy to the Sandlot, you know, which
is you know, set many years ago. That's the basis
of the movie. Yes, but it was a dog. But yeah,
that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
This was my grandmother's neighbor.
Speaker 19 (29:41):
And when we were little, we used to play baseball
and soccer in her yard and her neighbor used to
take our balls and would hide them. And then she
passed away a couple of years ago and we found
almost all of them in her basement and we put
(30:01):
one on her grave.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
On her grave. Yeah, that's morbid, but imagine how miserable
you have to be to take a young kid's ball
that they're playing with.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
That I totally agree with you. But to Justin's point
that he made earlier, you never know what's going on
with people, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
I mean, you can get it mad and you know
what it's it's most times it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
What's happening totally it's.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You know, it helps to look at the other side
of it. You know, maybe something happened. They could be
miserable for some reason.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
You don't know. I could almost see taking the ball.
It's annoying. It's in your yard. It may have bounced
off your house or something. But to collect them, Yeah,
that's weird. It's weird. Let's go to Sonia next. Sonya,
you're up next.
Speaker 20 (30:43):
Good morning everyone.
Speaker 21 (30:44):
So I live in Rocken, and before I live in Brockton,
I lived in the city and I grew up as
you never touch other people's stuff. So in Rockton, I
own a single family home and I live on a
two way street that happens to be like an L shape.
So I live at that ninety degree angle been a
single family home, and the family that's on i'll call
it the left side of me. It's their entire family,
(31:07):
it's a multi family, and whenever it's snow, they come
out forgive me as a gang and they pile all
their snow up from their side of the street to
my side of the street, which happens to be my fence.
And it will probably be the fifth time that I
have to replace that sense. So I have a very
strong dislike for that's what can I do? What can
(31:31):
I do?
Speaker 20 (31:31):
They come out in a gang and it's like, you're know,
three floors and there's probably like I don't know, four
on each floor, and they come out and they clean
out their driveway and they actually pile it up across.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
The street on my thingd all you can do is
bring in your own gang, right when it's like, call
all your relatives, all your friends, and then now you've
got the two of you piling on either side of
the street.
Speaker 17 (31:57):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's Top twenty four.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Kids went away. So every year we have the iHeart
Radio Music Festival that happens in Vegas every single year, right.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Lise exactly. And this year we decided to turn it
into a fun game. And we know how much Billy
loves games, right.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, And in this game, I may have made my
worst mistake in the history of my broadcast career.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
This actually could have been number one for me.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
It is incredible.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Number seven time It's paint time, Baby name time though,
I'll be there. That's a good time. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
A lot of hits here from these artists. So how
well do you know their songs? Don't be nervous. I'll
play a little bit of their hook, a hook of
one of their songs. All you have to do it
is finished the lyric. I should mention if you're listening,
if you're driving to work, you're in the car, you're
in the kitchen, Please play along.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
You want to own it.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Yeah, you want to belt out the lyrics, not cry
like Bill when he doesn't get it. Sometimes that happens.
But you got this one. Bill, really think it's just.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Never heard that song?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
This is this is a hold on, hold on.
Speaker 2 (33:39):

I don't care. You know, when it comes to these games,
there should be a JV level, you know, they club level.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
It's just embarrassing for us because you know how many
times I have I've had to sit and I don't
mind it and listen to Bill about the New Kids.
He was there when they recorded their music. He went
to Ireland with them. What it was, I wasn't listening.
Speaker 22 (35:01):

Speaker 2 (36:04):

I meant to take me to church.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I can't see producer Riley, and then I'm sure she's
shaking her head. I mean, it's unbelievable. You're zero for two, dude.
I think I frightened producer a little bit. You don't
frighten anybody, No.
Speaker 14 (36:21):

of course.

Speaker 17 (37:11):
Now fack to Billy and Lisa's Top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss one.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Wait, okay, so everybody knows about Lisa Dunovan's book Club.
In fact, it's celebrated its second year in twenty twenty four,
and you had Mel Robbins come.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
In list right, because we're planning the next year. And
Mel Robbins came in. She's a new book out called
The Let Them Theory. The book club is now sold out.
We have thousands of people coming to this event to
see Mel Robins.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
It'll be the first Lisa's book Club of twenty twenty four,
number six best selling author, motivational Speaker, one of the
biggest podcasts in the world, and just ridiculous. Mel Robbins,
I can't believe you're sitting.
Speaker 23 (37:50):
In the studio. Hi, I can't either, because I've spent
years and years of my life in my car listening
to you, So it's really cool to be here in person.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
I've I've never in my life seen more sales people
come up and want their picture taken with anyone else,
but Mel's here, and you're taking over the world. And
I'm so happy you're here because we have a big announcement.
You will actually be coming to Lisa's book Club in
January because you have a new book out.
Speaker 23 (38:19):
Yeah, so we're going to be doing a live event.
This is the first live event I've ever done in
Boston that I've ever done period, and I'm really excited
to be partnering with you here in my hometown. We
raised our kids here for twenty six years, and our
studios for the podcast is in Seaport, and to be
(38:40):
able to kick off not only a book tour, but
the mission that I have to really help you understand
how important.
Speaker 18 (38:50):
It is to let go of the things that you.
Speaker 23 (38:53):
Can't control and to stop trying to control the people
in your life.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Event is my deechlist.
Speaker 23 (38:59):
Okay, I don't know what's happen. It's like the vibes
in the room.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
You're outrage is.
Speaker 23 (39:04):
And so I want to teach you how to let
go of what you can't control, and that is basically
the things happening around you and what other people are doing.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Thinking, they're saying.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
So the book is called the Let Them Theory, yep,
and that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 23 (39:19):
So the let Them Theory is very simple everybody, and
you're going to love it. You're going to get it immediately.
It's just two simple words. That's how it starts.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Let them.
Speaker 23 (39:27):
Anytime somebody's pissing you off. Can I say that on radios,
on podcasts? Okay, anytime somebody's making you mad, or you're frustrated,
or you feel your emotions taking over, just say let them.
You know, traffic is backing up on the masspect let them.
They're doing construction and the tunnel, let them. Your boss
is in a bad mood, let them. Your kids don't
(39:48):
want to do something with you that let them. Because
what you're going to start to realize is you allow
other people and things beyond your control to stress you out,
to make you anxious. And what happens is is it
robs you of all your time and energy. And your
time and energy is the most precious resource that you
have in life, because where you put your time and
(40:08):
energy is what you experience in your life. And what
I'm going to prove to you both in this book
and in this incredible event. You better get your tickets.
This sucker is going to sell out. We are already
getting hammered about how do we get which you're going
to tell everybody, and we're going to be doing live
Q and A. You're going to feel so motivated afterwards
because you're not only going to understand that you have
(40:29):
been unknowingly giving your power to other people. You navigate
your life by what they say, how they feel, and
you don't have to live like that. There's a better way.
And every time you say let them, you recognize that
this is something that you don't have to control. And
then part two of the theories, you go, let me,
(40:49):
let me focus on what I'm going to say, what
I'm going to think, and what I'm going to do,
because that's where your power and I think we've all been.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Through that we do, and it instantly calms you down
when you like, let them treat me this way, because
I can decide whether I want to be with them
or not.
Speaker 23 (41:04):
Yes, yeah, so a lot of times in relationships. For example,
so I've got two, I've got twenty five, twenty three,
and nineteen year old kids, and when I look at
somebody who's dating right now, and there's a real, you know,
fear about being the single friend or the fear about this,
and so we accept less than we deserve. And here's
what you need to know. People's behavior is the truth.
(41:24):
So how somebody treats you is how they feel about you.
Do not listen to somebody's words, watch what they do.
And if somebody is treating you in a way that
is not what you deserve, let them because they're revealing
who they are. And here's the thing. Most of us
then grip and we make excuses, and you know, we
start to get desperate and clingy, or we tiptoe around
(41:46):
like the way that somebody's feeling. No, just let them
be and then say, let me decide what I'm going
to do about this. Are these table scraps what I'm
going to accept in my life?
Speaker 12 (41:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
And it's amazing because the messages you send are received
in such a warm way. Since we mentioned you were
coming in, I mean, we have been inundated with talkbacks
and with phone calls justin you want to give one
to us right now.
Speaker 10 (42:12):
I'm so excited. I just got my ticket to Lisa's
Book Club to see Mel Robbins, and I just can't
believe it. Mel Robbins has completely changed my life. Her
book The Five Second Rule, her Instagram, her podcast. I
just love her so much. She's so inspirational and I
cannot wait to read her new book.
Speaker 18 (42:34):
I'm like a little kid on Christmas morning.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
So when does the book actually come out?
Speaker 23 (42:39):
The book comes out December twenty fourth, So I'm a
last minute chopper, so for all of us are going
to be out down on December twenty fourth. You know,
your sister who's annoying doesn't need a sweater, She needs
to learn how to take.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
This is what amazes me. When do you come up
with these thoughts? And how you know the five second
rule and the slithering them?
Speaker 23 (43:00):
Oh my gosh, I'll tell you how I have learned
everything that I talk about the hard way by screwing
up my own life, Like I learned the five second rule,
which is basically this thing that sounds so dumb. You
count backwards like NASA launches a rocket five four three
two one and then move because I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Get myself out of bed.
Speaker 23 (43:18):
I mean fifteen years ago, when my husband was in
the restaurant business in the Boston area, I lost my job.
It was two thousand and eight. We all had pretty
lousy year two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight. Yeah,
the leans hit the house. We found ourselves almost a
million dollars in debt. I was unemployed, our kids three
kids ages ten and under. And you know, there are
gonna be times in your life where you don't know
(43:40):
if you have what it takes to face the things
that are going on, And in that time in my life,
the simplest things from opening up my bills which I
couldn't pay, to telling my friends the truth about what
was going.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
On, to just getting out of bed.
Speaker 23 (43:56):
I mean, we all know, laying in bed and staring
at the ceiling and ruminating about your problems and then
looking at your phone. It's not helping, but we can't
seem to make ourselves do it. And so it kind
of was one of these moments where I hit my
own rock bottom. Am I gonna lose everything that I
care about? Because I was facing these problems, you know,
like a champ. I was drinking myself into the ground.
(44:19):
I was blaming everything on Chris and I was just
letting the anxiety consume me. And I just had this thought,
maybe if I moved fast enough, maybe if I launched
myself like a rocket, I'd actually move faster than the
anxiety that was hitting. And it worked. And so I
just started sharing things that were working for me. And
here's what I found. Every single one of us knows
(44:42):
the little things that we could do to be kinder
to ourselves, to take better care of ourselves.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
We don't do it.
Speaker 23 (44:48):
And when you start to find little tools, whether it's
saying let them, just let them, Like we know we
don't want other people to stress us out. We know
that we'd rather feel a little bit more peaceful and
power full in our lives.
Speaker 3 (45:01):
I know that I don't want to nitpick at my
husband like this.
Speaker 23 (45:03):
Has been life saving for my marriage, for my relationship
with my kids. Because who pisses you off the most
the people you love, Like I think family is in
your life to teach you how to love people you
don't like, right, and they just let them. They're not changing,
So why create frustration, let them be who they are,
and you'll learn that your relationships get better. And we
(45:24):
all have this need to control everything because it makes
you feel safe, but we control the wrong things. And
when you really just start to let people be who
they are and you let people live their lives, your
life gets better.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Which seems so simple, but it's so impactful. It is
so if you engage in it. Yeah.
Speaker 17 (45:43):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
On kids, what do we Okay? Here we go the
five biggest moments on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show
for the year twenty twenty four and at number five. Strangely,
this past year and without much notice, Lisa, I might
add I suddenly took a trip to Africa. It was
my wife, Michelle's life alone dream and I would call
(46:08):
in justin every morning right from Africa. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
People were so invested in this, you know, because you know,
we thought you were gonna get eaten by a lion,
so did I You know, some of us kind of
hoping that something might happen. But you're an amazing trip
and yeah, you did daily check ins.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, and one check in, Lisa was telling everybody and
you about the night I spent in a treehouse in
the middle of the bush in Africa.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Number five, Here we go. Billy Costa is in Zimbabwe.
He's on an African safaris. People that don't know. It's
his wife, Michelle's dream to go. He made it happen.
He's been having a great time. He was very nervous,
and every day he's been checking in with pictures and
videos and calling into the show too.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
I think it's fantastic that Billy crawls in every day.
I love his stories and he's hysterical.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
If it was.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
Anyone else, it might not be as impactful and funny.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
But it's Billy. We got to think about that. Billy
Prima Donna Costa.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
I think for the final time this week we will
get a check in from mister Billy Costa and Zimbabwe. Dude.
How is the Love Nest?
Speaker 18 (47:14):
Oh man?
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Before I get to the Love Nest, just as I
called in and got the producer Riley on the phone,
when I tell you, close to twenty elephants, probably three
different families just walk within feet of me behind me
and came to the watering hole which is right behind
our tents, our rooms. Anyway, there's that. Now let's talk
about treehouse love. Okay. Well back it up, Billy.
Speaker 4 (47:37):
So yesterday you told us that they surprised you and
told you they were bringing you and Michelle to a treehouse,
that you were going to sleep in a love nest
and be all alone all night long.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Right. Yeah, to set the scene, we were out on
Africa afternoon safari and the plan was right after the safari,
before they set up camp for cocktails for sun said.
We took off in a different truck and we were
brought right to the treehouse, which, by the way, I
(48:07):
need to mention, is not near anything. I mean, it
is so far into the wild and all of a
sudden you see it off in the distance as you're
approaching it in the jeep. I don't even know how
these guides that work with us every day, I don't
know how they find their way around. But anyway, we
get to the treehouse. We walk up the stairs and
(48:27):
at the top of the stairs there are three flights
to this treehouse, and we get to the top there
are two gentlemen greeting us with cocktails. Dinner was ready
to go, we had a drink, we sat down, we
had dinner, while the animals were you know, screaming, crying,
talking to each other in the night, and it was amazing.
(48:49):
Michelle at one point turned to me she said, this
is the best night of my entire life. There, she said,
I would rather be here right now than any five star,
world class hotel on the planet.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
This is it, well that it is that you had
a five star I mean, it doesn't get any better
than that.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Yeah, it's called the Hide. And they do such a
good job. Understand, when you sit for dinner right after sunset,
you probably have seven or eight weight people who bring
your meal over and place it down simultaneously, like in concert.
And they do the same thing at breakfast. They do
the same thing at lunch. It is and while you're
sitting there again, I'm looking at probably nineteen elephants right now,
(49:39):
like maybe ten feet away, And constantly as you sit
and eat, you watch various species of animal going by
and just doing their thing. I was talking to justin
off the air a couple of minutes ago, and it
suddenly hit me yesterday, I said, the animals are also
on safari, like as curious as we are of them.
They are of.
Speaker 4 (50:03):
You can walk up.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
To a lion and the lion just sits there and
looks at you.
Speaker 4 (50:08):
What are the odds of that?
Speaker 3 (50:09):
It's so incredible, Billy?
Speaker 4 (50:14):
So Bill, what was what was up with Tubby Time?
I know you there are some pictures and videos on
the kiss Instagram of Billy giving a tour and what
the love nest?
Speaker 2 (50:23):
But you talked about Tubby Time there? How is that? Yeah?
In fact, I think within minutes ago, I think Michelle
posted that I did a whole tour, a walk through
the entire treehouse, so that's probably on. It's been posted
all of the sites back there. But anyway before oh yeah,
I'm glad you asked. Because the water system in this treehouse,
(50:44):
by the way, no electricity, okay, no electricity, And the
hot water system the water is in a tank just
outside the tent the treehouse, and what they do is
they put logs underneath and they set fire, so they
both basically put a campfire underneath the tank of water,
so that if you want to take a hot shower,
(51:04):
you have to take it before you go to bed,
otherwise the water will have cooled off by morning.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
That's incredible how they cook the food, but like your dinner, Like,
how do they cook that food?
Speaker 2 (51:17):
That's another great question. We were shocked. So we get there, right, Mikey,
and the table is set and they've got like Oi
dures and you know, cheese and vegetable platters to start,
and of course they had vodka in gin and wine
and whenever we you know, whatever your heart. So hey, Peter,
how Peter the world?
Speaker 18 (51:34):
That got bet.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
This giant cloth basket right and with a cloth pillow
of sorts that goes on top, and we're thinking, how
is the dinner in there? Right? How's it going to
stay hot? So I opened it up and to serve
Michelle dinner at the table and when I tell you,
I couldn't even it was so hot, and it had
been there for a while. I don't know what this
(52:00):
magic thing is, but I had to grab a cloth
just to pick up the plates and the containers. And
the dinner was fabulous. A little beef strogan off if
you will wait with beef.
Speaker 6 (52:12):
I thought you were a vegan.
Speaker 2 (52:14):
Yip, good question. When quiet? What are you doing? Sorry?
Speaker 3 (52:21):
Maybe it's because it was like in the treehouse. It
was like away.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
Sorry, I don't know exactly, yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 4 (52:30):
Yeah, So Billy, what were some of the sounds you
heard when you were, you know, at nighttime, not the
ones that you made you heard that good point.
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Time.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
I you know, I am not able to you know,
discern the difference between one animal in the dark. But
in the morning, the next the morning this morning, when
our guides and and Dunal showed up, I described the
sounds and they knew immediately what they were. We had
cheetah right outside the seats. Yeah, bad boons, elephants and
(53:14):
you did not know that chases right, Glad you mentioned it.
I turned to Michelle at one point because we saw
all the tracks in the morning, and so I said
to the naw, I said, wait a minute, cheetah, I said,
correct me if I'm wrong. Can't they climb trees?
Speaker 15 (53:34):
We're in a tree.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
And the answer is yes, they can, but they don't.
So I got to tell you about this tree. When
you're lying in bed right looking out at the wild.
You know, you have these giant green windows and you're
looking when you're lying in bed, you're looking out and
it's almost like you're at the omni theater because this
(53:59):
tree is so massive. It's four hundred years old, and
the trunks and the limbs are so thick, and they
run right through the treehouse and as you're looking out,
you feel like the tree is actually embracing you, like
you're lying in its arms, so to speak. It is
so magical. It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (54:20):
You sound like a different person.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
It's life changing. Yeah, it's life changing. Yeah, I am
now a bushman.
Speaker 4 (54:30):
Well, Billy, before we let you go, you know, before
we went on the air, you called me on my
phone and we were talking about, you know, this segment,
and then you asked me what the big entertainment stories
were and I kind of hesitated, and then I you know,
I said, well, you know, Ethol Kennedy passed away at
ninety six years old, and you said, oh, and it
kind of weird, like, oh, obviously, rest in peace. But
(54:51):
that was the lead one, and it's and it hesitated
because there's a bigger entertainment story that you don't know about. Yeah,
are you ready for We covered that yesterday. This just
broke today. We've been talking about it all day on
the show today. You're not gonna believe this. Make sure
you're sitting down, but Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are
(55:14):
getting back together.
Speaker 2 (55:16):
It's crazy. Okay, I can't even know. I can't even
hear that. I don't want to talk about it. I
refuse to talk about it. I'm done with them.
Speaker 6 (55:26):
They pulled the divorce papers and they're gonna renew their vows.
Speaker 2 (55:31):
No way.
Speaker 3 (55:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (55:33):
The big story is that Ben wrote a handwritten letter
said that the j LO and the parent that rekindled it.
Speaker 2 (55:41):
Oh my god, I'm gonna puke in my mouth.
Speaker 4 (55:43):
He's upset. Well, Billy, we don't want to ruin your
trip to Africa, so we're just kidding. It's only a joke.
Please stop thinking about entertainment reports.
Speaker 3 (55:52):
I enjoy your last moments in Africa.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
Yeah, and we know Bill.
Speaker 4 (56:00):
For jes But Bill, we love you, and this is
your last update from Africa. So we'll see you next
week and you when you return, have a safe trip back.
Speaker 2 (56:09):
And by the way, Mikey, thank you so much for
joining the team for the week. You guys, I heard
a lot of it and you gotta sounds fabulous. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (56:16):
I had a great time with Mikey. He's a good guy.
Speaker 2 (56:19):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (56:20):
Yeah, last update from Bill cost though we love you,
Uncle Bill, will see you next week.
Speaker 24 (56:24):
I can't be the only one who woke up today
and realized this is the last check in from Billy
before he comes back. And I gotta say I'm loving
these Africa updates. I'm going to miss them.
Speaker 1 (56:36):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss.
Speaker 15 (56:41):
So what are we.
Speaker 2 (56:42):
Okay, you have to love this story, Okay. Lisa Dunovan
is one of the kindest, gentlest person I know. She
decided justin she wanted to adopt a dog. Right, sounds simple?
So far sounds simple?
Speaker 5 (56:53):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (56:54):
So I went to the MSPCA up in New Hampshire
because they had a dog. I was interested in a
Jack Russell terry. They're really hard to find, especially to
adopt one. So I show up at the shelter and
I got into a fight.
Speaker 2 (57:07):
With an elderly woman outside the shelter. It was awesome, whinning.
Speaker 6 (57:11):
There's a thief on the show. We fight old people.
Speaker 2 (57:15):
Number four. You know, on this show, every so often
we have a story that happens to one of us. Well,
of all the people, Lisa Dunovan one of the sweetest
people we know. Almost had a fist fight.
Speaker 4 (57:29):
And if you would ask anybody about the Billy and
Lisa Show and you would say, which, which member do
you think almost got in a fight?
Speaker 2 (57:37):
Who would you think?
Speaker 3 (57:38):
Yeah, I know her name starts with the wa, it
starts with w ends with any of all people.
Speaker 2 (57:46):
Lisa had done a parking lot, no less what happened.
Speaker 3 (57:50):
It was like a scene out of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
So for the past ten years, just to give you
a backstory, I've always loved Jack Russell Terriers. I've loved them.
I've always wanted to get one, and I've always wanted
to adopt a dog from a rescue. So on Friday,
I've been searching and searching and searching for all, you know,
(58:11):
all these different websites of different rescue organizations, and I
found one and it was a two year old Jack
Russell Terrier and it was at the MSPCA up in
Nevan's in Mathuin. That's the location. They have locations all over,
but that was the one. So I never told anyone,
and I saw it on Friday and they opened yesterday.
(58:31):
Their adoption hours were from twelve to three. That's when
you could go. They don't. You know, you can't make
a reservation, you just have to show up. So off
I go up to Mathuin. I'm in the parking lot
at you know, a half an hour early before they open,
sitting in my car. About ten minutes before twelve. I
get out of my car and I walk up to
the door. The door's locked because again it doesn't open
(58:54):
until noon. There's maybe another car too in the parking lot,
sort of parked where I am. And all of a
sudden and like all of these people get out of
their cars. So we're all waiting in line. But I'm
the first person in line, okay to go through the door.
So we start chit chatting with you know, each other,
everyone in line, and a woman two or three people
behind me says, oh, what are you here for? And
(59:17):
I said, oh, I'm here for the Jack Russell terrier, Chloe.
And she goes, that's the dog I'm here for. And
I was here before you in the parking lots.
Speaker 4 (59:28):
Oh boy, there we go.
Speaker 2 (59:30):
And she wasn't alone, right.
Speaker 3 (59:32):
No, she brought she brought back. She brought a friend.
And the woman starts laughing and she goes, you have
to let me in front of you because that's my dog.
And I was like, excuse me, and she was and
you know she was elderly, yes, okay, I mean she
(59:56):
was elderly. I don't know how old, but so so
I'm standing there and then a woman behind her goes,
I want that dog too.
Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
Oh God.
Speaker 3 (01:00:03):
I'm like, oh my god, like this is not happening
to me. I almost burst into tears. And I'm standing
there and she's not giving up. She's like, you need
to let me in front of you. I was here
before you in the parking lot. And I was like, okay,
well what do I do? Like, what do I do? Like,
what's the right thing to do? So I left. I
(01:00:24):
let her in front of me. I was like, you
know what, I can't do this, and I burst into tears.
I got in the cry. I literally called Billy and
I burst into tears because I was like, wow, I
literally just was thrown down by another person over this
beautiful animal, and I'm hoping that she gets the dog.
I'm not no, but but here Winnie. Like all I
(01:00:44):
was thinking driving back was well, maybe maybe it's a
good thing that I didn't like basically get into a
fight with her in the parking lot, because what if
the dog wasn't even available, then we all look really silly. So,
you know, I hope that the dog went to a
good home, but I'm still so angry.
Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
You know, a couple of things. Do you know for
a fact she was there before you? A? And B
do we know for a fact that she got the dog?
Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
I don't know either of those. I just know that
I was sitting there half an hour before, and she
could have been in the parking lot. I have no idea.
I just know that I got out of my car
in the cold and was standing in the cold for
ten minutes before the door opened, and I was first
in line.
Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
Yeah, so two things here.
Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
I think you did the right thing, although you know,
every fiber of my being would want you to fight back.
But you did the right thing. You did the adult
thing right. But the other thing is that's a debate
in and itself. Okay, so she if she was there
before you in the parking lot in her car, and
then you come up and you're at the door first,
(01:01:47):
but she was in the parking lot first, who's first exactly?
Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Well, that's your opinion. I don't know. I don't know
the answer to that.
Speaker 8 (01:01:54):
Like geographically or biologically, whatever it is. If you're physically
at the door, that's where the line starts.
Speaker 6 (01:02:01):
The line isn't start in your car.
Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
You know what, You're right, that's true in the comfort
of her own car. The best rule of follow is
you ask yourself in situations like this, you ask yourself,
what would Winnie do and woman up against the wall
before she let her in front of It's going to
be in jail, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Like it just there was no upside for me. I
was gonna feel bad if I got the dog and
she didn't because she would have been staring at me
like how dare you? And then and then leaving. I
felt bad. So again I want to give a shout
out because I think that adopting a pet like you've done,
Billy is such an amazing thing. So I will continue
(01:02:43):
my search, but I do want to give a shout
out because that is the most beautiful facility up there,
the Nutting's Farm MSPCA facility. I was blown away.
Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
Yeah, so it's about one minute from my house. My
wife goes there a lot with my daughter to see
the animals. She's my daughter, Jema loves it. But you
want to hear then the best part about the story
not the best. But Lisa called me I think on
the way there, right, because she knew it was there
my house.
Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Yeah, I didn't see the call.
Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
I was with my daughter, but she was calling to say, Hey,
I'm going to get this terrier and I want to
come by the house and show you and the family.
Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
There's no dog there, no dog.
Speaker 6 (01:03:25):
It was a long drive back to Milton alone.
Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Wasn't it your family expecting a dog?
Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
No, they knew nothing about It was her decision.
Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
She's the mother of.
Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
The house and I'm glad I didn't say anything because
nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Yeah, but now we can launch an all out search
for an adoptable Jack Russell Terrier carrier. I didn't know
the terriers were in such high demand. And here dumb
with terriers, very frisky, very playful. It's sad to thinks
when looking I'll do the foose dogs are they're thinking
that In some countries, these dogs are eating.
Speaker 17 (01:04:00):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss One.
Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Wait, okay, we're in the top five and This next
one happened very recently. Most of you have listened to
the show. No Justin story or a lot of it.
I mean, okay, he was in and out of prison,
he had some problems, but look at him now. He's
a beautiful man. He is strapping exactly. He's going to
be next year's Man of the Year.
Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
Hope he is. Okay, he is our superhero. But Maria
Stefanos from Channel five heard about his story and then
decided to do a piece on him.
Speaker 4 (01:04:33):
And you know, at least for people that did not
see the piece, you can go to my Instagram right
now at justin Beeazy. It's the very first post. It's
pinned right at the top. Definitely a highlight for me
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
Four and it got really emotional. Number three, dude, you
were featured on Channel five twice last night at five
and again at eleven.
Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
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 6 (01:04:58):
Oh you have it a different it's different, Okay, we
need to see it.
Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Yeah, there's more of it. 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. So you guys know my story. I mean,
you know all the crazy stories. 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
(01:05:22):
of go into more detail was not easy to do,
but I thought it was important. It's important to get
that message out.
Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
And Maria did a beautiful job presenting it. Michelle and
I both cried on the couch, so a.
Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
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. She's living her
dream as a nurse, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
And then your dream together of owning a home and
having children.
Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
Yeah, oh, it's just really cool.
Speaker 25 (01:05:55):
Hey, justin just felt like I needed to call. The
story about you and Jen was incredible. The biggest one
and the biggest pot for me was that you got
you walked by people on the ground when you went
to the garden, and nobody that you work with knew
that that was you in the past. That was the biggest,
the most emotional part of watching that incredible story.
Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Keep up the great work.
Speaker 7 (01:06:15):
Yeah, as someone that works with you every day, we
talk about year past, but like I don't think it
always resonates how real it was for you, because for me,
it's a stories from like fifteen years ago, right.
Speaker 4 (01:06:26):
Yeah, 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, and I would
(01:06:48):
sleep on the bench and I would try to sleep,
get up. I'd go ask someone for a quarter to
call the detox at seven am and they would say, sorry,
justin no beds today, call back tomorrow. Oh, my God,
day after day. So I remember those moments. So, yes,
that's why I brought it up, because you know, we
go out a lot. Yeah, we're in Boston. We see
those people and I'm like, I don't think they retally understand.
Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
Yeah we do, trust me, we do. Now. Maria teased
the eleven o'clock because it was a totally separate piece
covering different materials. So how different was it.
Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
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. So I go more into detail. I mean,
you have to remember when I got clean with my wife,
I lived in a rooming house. We had no cars,
(01:07:42):
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. Yeah,
you know, 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.
Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
She never us me.
Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
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 2 (01:08:06):
So so I'm guessing and I probably ended pretty well.
Now she's sick as a dog. Oh God, bad timing
as a dog. Shout out to everybody. I justin.
Speaker 8 (01:08:15):
I don't usually watch Channel five News at five, but
I did because I wanted to see.
Speaker 15 (01:08:20):
You and hear your story.
Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
I am so proud of you.
Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
I just can't. I mean, you brought me to tears.
Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Keep up what you're doing and you are great.
Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
And again, I just I'm just so proud of you.
Take you, love you, but bye.
Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
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
talkbacks and there's even.
Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
More trained them.
Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
So well, then we go, we've trained them like they
saw my piece and they knew, oh.
Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
I got to leave a talk back. Yeah they did.
Speaker 21 (01:08:55):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
That's the Billy and Lisa show has a dedicated follower.
Speaker 6 (01:08:58):
I have to ask, did your parents watch my mother?
Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
My mother?
Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Did 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 a touchy subject. Yeah, I don't really talk about
my past.
Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
I hope he watches it.
Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
He will.
Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
He's super proud of me, I know, but you know,
it's it's tough man about your brother and my brother
did not message me yet. But he's a touchy, touchy subject.
Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
I gotta tell you though, And I don't want to
get involved, but if it's a touchy subject, your dad
should watch. I think he will. No, I know he will.
Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
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 2 (01:09:38):
So you go, yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
God, justin Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
Thank you, Thank you to everybody.
Speaker 17 (01:09:45):
Now that's really and Lisa's top twenty four moments.
Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Okay, this next one happened in October and it really
came out of left field. We do the Entertainment Report
a couple of times on the show every morning. By
the way, he say and Lisa, we talk about a
bunch of things. We got to talking about Bill Belichick
and the fact that he was dating a very young woman.
Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Right. We were joking around about it his new girlfriend,
and Winnie chimed in, like she always does.
Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
I said some things that apparently offended her.
Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Oh big time. It went national right Justin.
Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
Oh, it went everywhere, and I'll never forget. I was
in my ice bath like I do every night, and
I got out, looked at my phone and I saw
the post from Bill Belichick's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
I literally dropped my phone. Yeah, Winnie and Belichick's girlfriend
were now battling on social and I'm telling you, it
was on TMZ, it was on Inside Edition, it was
on Extra. It went everywhere number two. Okay, welcome into
the Billy and Lisa Show this morning and this morning
on the Billy and Lisa Show, we have ourselves a situation.
(01:10:50):
I think it's best to call it a situation Justin.
All I know is I got a call from Justin
and this never happens. He actually called me three times
and role because I couldn't answer the phone. I said, wow,
we just called through it two minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
Like what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
I said, this has got to be good. And then
I finally get him back, and before he even says
hello to me, he says, oh my god, Oh my god,
You're not gonna believe what's going on. So justin what's
going on?
Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
Yeah, I was in my ice bath that I do
every night, and I got out and I kind of
stand there and open my phone, kind of my routine,
and the very first thing that pops up is Bill
Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan Jordan Hudson.
Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
It's been a lot to talk about her.
Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
She's a cheerleader, former cheerleader, and you know she's dating Bill. Yes,
she's forty nine years older. That's kind of the story.
We've been talking about it. And when he made some
comments on the show on Monday about Jordan and her
cheerleading career, let me play it that for you real quick.
Speaker 8 (01:11:47):
She was Borgewater State cheerleader, which is division three, which
isn't even like competition level.
Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
I could have been, Bridgewater stated.
Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
So you know, if you're a regular listener of the
Billion Lisa Show, you know when he she like to
pop off at the mouth, and while Jordan was listening,
or someone that knows Jordan was listening, and she posted
a picture of her pointing a championship ring at the camera,
and she wrote, at Winny's World, I would like to
extend an invitation for you to attend the winter tryout
for the eight time national champion cheerleading program at BSU Cheerleading.
(01:12:21):
And since you are so confident that you can make
the team, as you stated live on the air, I'd
love for you to bring a kiss one away camera
crew to film your undeniable domination of our pathetic little
D three cheerleading program. I can't wait to see you
in January. Don't poke the bear and ps Winny kiss
my dot dot dot National Championship ring.
Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
Yeah, that's my favorite part right there, kiss my dot
dot dot National champion ring. Now here's the deal. Right
when the story broke that Bill Belichick was dating Jordan,
Jordan twenty four years old.
Speaker 6 (01:12:57):
How old's Bill, he's seventy two eight.
Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
Obviously, they expected people, right at least to talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
It, and people have been you know.
Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
They went very public. Yeah, I mean they expected that.
I don't think what Jordan expected was for somebody to
attack her cheerleading skills. Okay, she's a national champion.
Speaker 6 (01:13:19):
I didn't attack her skills.
Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Oh, you want us to play it again? Oh, I said,
was that you defend yourself.
Speaker 8 (01:13:25):
Bridgewater Steam cheerleader, which is division IREI, which isn't even
like competition level.
Speaker 6 (01:13:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty much saying I never think.
I never said it was pathetic. She said pathetic. I
never said that.
Speaker 7 (01:13:38):
Obviously, there's a level of athletics that then you need
to be a cheerleader. I'm not denying that. There's also
different realms of a cheerleader. There's the one that does
the flipping and the flying, and there's one that spots
and holds them.
Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
You weren't thinking about that at the time. How do
you know what I was.
Speaker 6 (01:13:52):
Cheerleaders in general? I think I work out. I go
to the gym down the street way better you a
lot of weightlifting. I have really strong legs.
Speaker 7 (01:14:00):
I could easily lift up a one hundred pound girl
and let her fly spotter.
Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
So you are going to accept I am.
Speaker 7 (01:14:07):
I'm not saying that I'm gonna be doing backflips and tumbling.
Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
You can't let us.
Speaker 6 (01:14:12):
This competition, but I can share. Give me a beat,
give me a.
Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Yeah, it's going to be the competition.
Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
I don't think the spatters have to talk.
Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
You never hear from them, right. And something else, I
think they're never allowed to be the captain.
Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
You never noticed the spotter, Jilly.
Speaker 19 (01:14:36):
It is why I'm so scared for you.
Speaker 10 (01:14:40):
Cheerleaders scare me in general, but d three cheerleaders, that's
more scary.
Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Good luck. You know, here's what I think. First of all,
you have challenged Jordan to come on the show, right.
Speaker 4 (01:14:54):
So I sent her our information. I invited her on.
So either Jordan was listening to our show or friends
of hers, maybe people from the cheerleading program. We'd love
to have her on. I center the information. She can
issue the challenge to Winnie live on the end.
Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
And I love that Belichick and Jordan and all of
those friends, their friends are listening to this show. Do
you know a couple of minutes ago, Kevin came down
the hall Kenny, I mean, Kenny came down the hall
from ZLX The Rich. The Rich certainly show and wants
to have Winnie on, like Winnie's going to be their
number one segment today.
Speaker 4 (01:15:27):
Yeah, I know, other sports stations in and around Boston
are also talking about the post. This post. Bill's talking
about it.
Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
One thing I'm not is scared. I gotta tell you.
You know, first of all, you have to accept the
challenge and enter the competition. But then I think you
counter challenge Jordan and challenge her to a powerlifting competition. Okay.
I mean then again, she didn't attack you.
Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
I didn't really see.
Speaker 6 (01:15:55):
I wasn't trying to be like outwardly like attacking her.
I was just saying that.
Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
I kind of think I kind of think that's what
the conversation was about.
Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Yeah, well, when you know what you said, you know it.
I know it, they know it.
Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yew Back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss What.
Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
Okay, So every year when we do this, the best
moments of the previous year, in this case, it's the
best moments on the billion least the morning show for
the year twenty twenty four. And I think we were
all unanimous on this one. The number one moment had
to go to the Karen Reed trial. Right.
Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
We were devoted to it for months, everyone in the city,
that's all anyone was talking about. So it had to
have been our number one moment of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
And it went national. I mean, it was all the
news stations around the country were covering it. People were
outside the courthouse every day on both sides of the aisle,
so to speak.
Speaker 3 (01:16:50):
It's all anyone was talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
And we landed on this woman, Catherine Loftus, who was
covering the trial every single day. If there was a hearing,
Catherine came on the show the very next morning, right, Lise, exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
So this is our number one moment of the year, guys.
Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Because this was the very first time we had counselor
Catherine Loftus in the studio to break it all down
for us. Number one, The Karen Reid trial has everybody.
I mean, I got to tell you off the record,
the last couple of minutes off the air, we had
a zillion questions we're throwing at Katherine the Loftus. Catherine
has joined us in studio. She is a lawyer, has
(01:17:27):
been a lawyer for like ten years. Somehow, you've done
over one hundred videos on the Karen Retrow on TikTok
and by the way, on social you're known is note
my objection. That's right, Okay, Katherine, here's the deal. We
all you saw it a few minutes ago. We all
have so many questions about the Karen retraw. So I
want you, for starters anyway, to present the case foreur
(01:17:48):
and against and let us be the jury, and that
we can ask any questions we want.
Speaker 13 (01:17:53):
So I think you know, it's interesting, Billy, because there are,
like you said, there's two different sides to the case.
In if you're watching it close, it's almost as if
the two different cases. What the Comwealth is saying is
that on the night of January twenty eighth into January
twenty ninth, that Karen Reid and John O'Keefe were at
a bar in Canton. There were a number of people there.
(01:18:14):
They were invited back to the Albert's house, Brian Alberts House,
which is at thirty four fair of you, and that
in the intervening time between coming from the Waterfall bar
back to the house, that John O'Keeffe in fact never
went into the house, and that Karen Reid backed up
to him, into him and let him essentially hit him
and essentially left him.
Speaker 18 (01:18:35):
On the ground.
Speaker 6 (01:18:35):
That the prosecution, that's the prosecution side.
Speaker 13 (01:18:38):
That's the very base level explanation. But just to get
that out there, what the defense is saying is is
essentially too prong they have Right now, they're presenting what's
called a Boden defense, which is essentially they're attacking the
police investigation and all of the witnesses that we have
seen so far, the police officers, the firefighters, everyone who's testified.
(01:19:00):
They're attacking what they did on the scene, what they heard,
how they could elected evidence, how they stored it, because
at the end of the trial, what they'll ask the
judge is to instruct the jury that the omissions and
the police investigation was so significant that the jury should
factor that in.
Speaker 18 (01:19:16):
Now we have heard in the pre.
Speaker 13 (01:19:18):
Trial litigation about potentially a third party culprit, whether they're
going to be bringing in evidence that somebody else did
this inside the house that has not been presented in
court yet. And again the defense is not required to
put that on. It's the comwealth burden to prove whether
Karen Reid is guilty or not of the child is
brought against her. So there is a possibility that we
(01:19:40):
never even hear about a third party culprit, and the
defense really just hammers in on the police omissions and investigations.
Speaker 18 (01:19:47):
So it's been interesting.
Speaker 13 (01:19:49):
We're only in a week and a half and it's
pretty interesting already.
Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Do you think the video that they played the prosecution
played earlier this week or it may have been late
last week. Do you think that video kind of turned
a lot of people on the case changed their minds?
Speaker 18 (01:20:01):
Can I ask which video?
Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
The video in front of the house during the snowstorm,
when Karen was yelling and screaming and said the words
I hit him, I hit them. At least you can
hear that on the tape. You think that may have
swayed people one way or another.
Speaker 13 (01:20:15):
So from my recollection is you can't hear her on
the tape saying I hit him, I hit him.
Speaker 18 (01:20:20):
What you can see is.
Speaker 13 (01:20:21):
She's clearly distraught, she's clearly hysterical. You know, this snow
coming down, it's windy. It clearly paints a very picture
of a chaotic scene. But we do have testimony from
multiple firefighters and paramedics and one police officer that essentially
a scribe and guilt to her. Now, the defense has
been attacking that by saying that they all have at
(01:20:44):
least some sort of flaws in their memory because they
weren't written in their reports correctly. So again every time,
it's almost as if the calmwealth you know, scores a
little bit of a point, and then the defense takes
it away.
Speaker 18 (01:20:56):
So it's it's kind of even. I would say, as
of right now.
Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
You know what's really cool that's going on right now?
I think in a real trial, the jury should get
to ask questions. And now we're the jury and we
get to ask questions. Go lies, So.
Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
You set up the scene basically the basics. What is
Karen Reid's defense, Like, what does she say happened that night?
Speaker 15 (01:21:19):
So she.
Speaker 13 (01:21:21):
In court, she's not saying anything yet, Okay. So and
that's what I try to tell my followers when I'm
talking on my page is that I'm not I don't
try to convince anybody of one side or the other,
but just really try to break down what we've seen.
Because what we have seen pre trial is that these
allegations that something else happened in the house, that he
was killed in a physical altercation.
Speaker 18 (01:21:43):
There's been discussions about a dog being involved.
Speaker 13 (01:21:46):
We haven't actually seen that presented in court yet. So
I think it's important that we relying on what the jury,
because the jury, at the end of the day, isn't
looking at what's on Twitter. Or a blogs or people
are saying they're deciding the evidence in front of them.
So right now, the only thing the defense is doing
is attacking, attacking, attacking.
Speaker 18 (01:22:00):
Every witness that the comwealth puts on.
Speaker 13 (01:22:02):
They're attacking their credibility, They're attacking their ability to be
fair and unbiased, and whether when they talk quite a
bit about what they put in the reports, why they
didn't put them in. Every lawyer knows, every police officer knows,
every firefighter knows, you have to write. If you hear something,
you have to put in a report, because if you
don't put it in a report, the reliability is reduced.
(01:22:24):
So that's essentially right now, the defense is just attacking
the police investigation. It's to be seen whether they'll actually
introduce evidence of a third party culprit.
Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
It does seem like a combination of first responders and
police officers on the scene that night really kind of
messed a lot of stuff up. I mean, like really
stupid mistakes.
Speaker 13 (01:22:46):
I think from my perspective, looking at the police officers,
the detectives, lieutenants responding, I think, the firefighters and the paramedics,
my evaluation is they're being pretty forthcoming, you know, they're
there to save John O'Keeffe, you know, So their goal
isn't to really preserve the scene.
Speaker 18 (01:23:05):
It's not to get statements, it's.
Speaker 13 (01:23:07):
To make you know, they get a call that there's
an unconscious person. So you know, that's not their primary goal.
Their primary goal is life saving.
Speaker 18 (01:23:15):
When you talk.
Speaker 13 (01:23:16):
About the police and we talk about how they're collecting
evidence and understanding that there's a plastic red solo cops
and the problem is is that it just makes everything
look messy. It's not standard, it's not normal. And even
if the scene is chaotic, the weather is crazy, there
(01:23:39):
have to have been some alternative options as to how
you collect that that that evidence, and they didn't do that,
which just quite frankly opens the door for attack from
the defense.
Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
Right because everything could be tainted, right.
Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Yeah, And you said it a couple of minutes, and
we have to repeat, there's only one victim here, and
that's that's great. So that's the bottom.
Speaker 18 (01:24:00):
And it's been unfortunate.
Speaker 13 (01:24:02):
And I think that in all of this, I think
the fact that he has lost his life and however
it happened is really it's almost become secondary to what
else is going on, and it's unfortunate because you have
a family, you have two kids that he was raising.
So I think it's important to remember real Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
Okay, so the Karen Reid trial gets the number one
moment of twenty twenty four. I need to tell you
when the trial starts again in April, and apparently it will.
It's been delayed. It will happen in April. We're going
to be on top of it again.
Speaker 12 (01:24:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
We will cover it the same way. Catherine Loftus will
be back in studio with us to help us sort
of understand what's going on in the courtroom. But you
can also relive all of the twenty twenty four moments
on the podcast right justin.
Speaker 4 (01:24:42):
Yes, you can get all the top twenty four moments
and so much more on the iHeartRadio app. Just starts

They did, and they actually we played the game who
knows their dad best? And they got really mad at
some of the questions.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Very competitive.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Well, because you have three sons and it was only
Alex and Chris, and apparently Dylan, your youngest, was a
little upset.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
To this day, Dylan is pissed off. He wasn't part
of it.
Speaker 4 (00:39):

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss What are You So?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Once again? On The Billion Least The Morning Show, You
never really know, We never really know what's gonna happen
morning to morning. Uh, we got to call a damon
John from Shark Tank's going to be in town justin.
You took the call and you booked him to come
on the show. Line.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, I'm a huge Shark Tank fan. And the cool
thing was he just wanted to come in and talk
about Shark Tank in his career. It's just a really
fun guy.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And we didn't see it coming, lease, but people started
pitching him on our show.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And Damon loved it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
We're talking Shark Tank, baby, let's go go.
Speaker 11 (07:37):
I know you sorry coming That is probably of ABC
MGM came.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
John had nothing to do with both through. I think
we get out of it fast enough. We don't have
to pay anything to anyone. I'm just saying, boy, you
are sharpest attack. Damon. Thank you. Now you started with
the lion Woods at Fubu. I'm telling you, Damon, I
swear I used to wear fubu and I probably don't
look like a fubuo wearing you look exactly like, but
(08:05):
I'm telling you. And I was looking at some of
the pictures and I did some digging. I said, I
think I had that shirt.
Speaker 11 (08:10):
You absolutely, I'm trusting me. A lot of people didn't
realize they had fooble when they had it, So we
sold a lot to TV Max and Burlington too as well.
And people going.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
There and then not looking at any label name, They're
looking at the price. Yeah right you. So, by the way,
we're talking to Damon John from Shark Tank. If you're
listening and you have a product that you want to
run by Damon, I mean feel imagine if somebody hit
it big just by a quick phone call with you
this morning. If they did, that would be great. And
just give me a royalty. Yeah yeah, it is a
(08:40):
six one seven, nine one one one way. And I'm
not kidding. If you want to run something by now,
I want to hear them. Started in Queen's and it
started out of your house, right your mom's house sat
out of the basement. I stood in the corner nineteen.
Speaker 11 (08:58):
Eighty nine, good Friday, three o'c in the afternoon, and
I sold a couple of hats that I made the
night before, sold eight nd. I was with the hats,
and I remember saying, I made this with my own hands.
I will never work for anybody for the rest of
my life. And I worked with Red Lobster for five
years after that.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But other story, were you any good at Red Lobster.
What did you do now? I was great. I was
a waiter.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I was a waiter.
Speaker 11 (09:19):
I worked at Red Lops. I was the best waiter ever.
But I learned more importantly. I would read the books
the managers would put out. Although the waiters weren't reading anything.
Every quarterly report I would read because I didn't go
to college. I didn't I didn't have enough money to
go to college, and I'm dyslexic. The only thing I
did in school that was notable is I like the
seventh grade so much I took it twice, so.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I started to do keep that mind, I understood sales
and everything from Red Lobster. Believe it or not. Wow,
But I should have sayed it. Maybe I'd helped them recently.
But clearly you have a great memory. I'm very impressed
that you remembered the moment, the date, the time, the
place where it started with the baseball hats.
Speaker 11 (09:56):
Well, you know, I think every one of us remember
that special moment or time in place where they I
would change good, bad, or indifferent. And it's those moments
that define us, I think.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And didn't you grab all your friends and they started
working with you too?
Speaker 11 (10:10):
I did but that was after I failed and closed
fuble three times from eighty nine to ninety two, and
then I realized I needed friends. There's a big O
five on all the shirts, right because I brought in
It was always supposed to be five of us, and I.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Brought in ten of that fifth member.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
They never stuck around, so you got ten people running
around talking about I'm the fifth member of Fubu when
it's only four of us.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
So, since you have a great memory, can you recall
the biggest deal that was made through you on shark
tak'st with you? Which one was it? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (10:45):
It was these two amazing young men and one of them,
I think maybe both, but I know one of them,
David went to Babson.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh that's right?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
What wow? Right? I was on.
Speaker 11 (10:56):
I was an entrepreneur in residence at Babson for two
years and they created a company called Bomba Socks.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You probably are You probably buy a pair.
Speaker 11 (11:05):
I have a lot of Bomba song Yeah, and they
will do one point seven billion.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Dollars my god.
Speaker 11 (11:10):
Okay, hold on the Bombas is the number one product
in Shark Tank history. So if you ever interview any
of those underachievers, I call my fellow sharks, you remind
But by the way, more importantly, I think they've given
away now one hundred and twenty million units of clothing
and apparel and socks to the homeless and those in need.
(11:32):
And that is more important than anything else.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Absolutely, Lisa, you gave me. I did.
Speaker 12 (11:37):
So.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
When you buy a pair of socks, they donate a pairs.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
And now they have slippers, especially for you know, the holidays,
so they have slippers and everything else. So you know
today what we realize and they've trained me. They wag
the dog. You know, today somebody like Lisa probably goes,
why am I giving money to people who aren't giving
anybody else? And it and and my daughter will say
to me during the holiday, Dad, you give one time
(12:00):
or ten times a year, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Every time I buy, I give.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
So I'm buying everybody ten pair of Bombas because I'm
letting them know that they've given to others. And that's
why they're the number one product in shark tank history.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Did you say they have slippers? Slippers? Honey? You were
asking me last night, what do I want for Christmas?
Bomba slippers?
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Baby, let's go Obama's Yeah, and They're absolutely amazing company.
But again, Boston's own, you know, and they created a
great brand.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
How about again looking back, the deal that you let
go that hurts the most.
Speaker 11 (12:37):
The deal that I let go that hurts the most
is the second best selling product in Shark Tank history.
And it's not that I let it go. I ratcheted
up the number because I wanted to stick it to her.
The number I think was the investment was like one twenty.
I made her pay like two hundred and four. I
was like, Aha, I got you. And it is a
stupid looking little sponge.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Oh I have it the scrub Daddy.
Speaker 11 (13:03):
Somebody's a Shark Tank junkie around here, and this scrub Daddy,
it's not the scrub Daddy.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It has the scrub Mommy and.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
All kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's got a whole family.
Speaker 11 (13:13):
They even have you know what they even have right now,
and I'm mad because I still have to buy it.
They have these things called the scrub screen Daddies where
you put her on your phone.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And then you can wipe the phone off.
Speaker 11 (13:24):
I'm showing them right now everybody in the studio the
stupid little scrub something, and they're gonna do I think
one point two billion this year they will hit that mark.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well, more important, it was it that didn't make you
buy in on that? Well, I just was mad.
Speaker 11 (13:42):
I was Laurie was fighting against me, and I was like,
you know, Laura and I in the same space. We're
in consumer products, right. But I gotta tell you that
little evil lady. Let me tell you something about Laura.
She has twelve of the top twenty best selling products
in Shark Tank history, twelve of them. I tell everybody,
if it's plastic in on a fifty dollars, she's slinging
it like.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Crack, she's polluting our ocean. Okay, it's not her fault
that you passed on her. It's that idiot lawyer that
wouldn't shut on us. I'm just kidding. Hello, who am
I talking to right now?
Speaker 13 (14:16):
Ni?
Speaker 14 (14:17):
This is Lisa Einstein.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh, Hi, Lisa, say hello to Damon and throwing a pitch.
Speaker 15 (14:22):
Hi, Damon.
Speaker 16 (14:23):
I want to let you know about our new product.
It's called the Throne Topper.
Speaker 14 (14:26):
I think you'll love it. Basically, it's a ferris wheel
or a windmill or dancing flowers that sit on top
of your toilet and when you flush the toilet, it's
flush activated. They start spinning and singing to remind you
to wash your hands.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Is it me, damon or do a lot of people
have a fascination with the toilet?
Speaker 11 (14:46):
Well, we do have fascinating toilet, I like you. So
it says it an idea as a product already out.
Speaker 14 (14:54):
We have a website out thrown tapper dot com and
we've just launched recently, so have you.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
So it's a windmill of something and then when you finish,
it goes, it spins and says wash your hands.
Speaker 14 (15:07):
Yes, exactly, there's a ferris wheel.
Speaker 15 (15:09):
There's a windmill.
Speaker 16 (15:10):
So yeah, you flash the toilet.
Speaker 14 (15:11):
It's got like a little probe that goes into the
toilet tank.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So those guys we kind of like, you know, like
we're simple. We like to kind of hit a target.
Can we hit a target and it spins? Even quicker?
Did anything like that? Going on?
Speaker 16 (15:23):
No, No, you're not supposed to pee on the ferris wheel?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Where the rules already? Well, you know, how many sales
do you have off of the launch.
Speaker 14 (15:44):
Off of the launch, we've sold about eleven. So it's
really you hit the market and you know, flying off
the shelves.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Well, you know, no, you could have sold eleven in
one minute.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
That's totally different than you have a million dollar company,
a multimillion exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I can I just ask one question this ferris wheel,
how close to your toys is it? Because it's a
little sensitive down there?
Speaker 16 (16:10):
No, No, it's up on top of the toilet.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh okay, yeah, so it's kind of like, you know, a.
Speaker 14 (16:16):
Piece of art that lives on your toilet, and then
it's a great surprise, especially when.
Speaker 16 (16:20):
You have guests and they go and plush the toilet.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Is there a.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
Bigger problem that people are going to your bathroom and
not washing their head?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Damon? I think it's right about now you say, I'm out.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
Now.
Speaker 17 (16:34):
That's Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments of twenty
twenty four on kids Want to Wait.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, So if you listen to the Billy and Lisa
Morning Show, you know that producer Riley is a member
of the morning show, and she's said, what do we
call her? An associate producer, Debbie right Les.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, she takes the calls from all of our listeners
and she does a lot of behind the scenes work.
She runs the board She's really an integral part of
what we do on the show.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, we love Riley, and the listeners love Riley because
Riley's voice is the first person they hear when they
call into the show.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah, she does so much for us behind the scenes.
She is, like Lisa said, very important. And she's also learning.
You know, she's younger than all of us, so she's
constantly learning. And you know, for her one year anniversary
in October, we brought her in and had her tell
us what she has.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Learned so far in her role. And I got scared,
but things went okay. Number nine Producer Riley. Today is
her one year anniversary with the Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Congratulations, Ry, thanks thanks for having me here.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Here we are a year later. So we got to
ask while we wait for the winner, we got to ask,
what have you learned from and about each of us
over the course of one year.
Speaker 18 (17:47):
Oh my god, so many things.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I literally made a list.
Speaker 18 (17:49):
I wrote it all down here for you.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Oh okay, all right, you're amazing. Oh stop, I learned
it from you, guys. Let me just quickly go through this.
Speaker 12 (17:59):
So Bill, from what I learned about you, I I
genuinely did not know how funny you are like on
and off the mic. You were so funny. You make
me laugh every single day. I love being in our
little boys club, me, you and Justin in the morning,
I'm just laughing, laughing, Okay.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
But from you, use anything you hear in that room
against us.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Please no, I won't.
Speaker 19 (18:20):
I know.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
O no.
Speaker 12 (18:24):
And then from you, I just learned about professionalism, how
you turn it on and off. You're able to put
everything aside and when the mic is on, you're on.
You're being a professional, You're doing this job, You're being.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
The Billy Costa.
Speaker 12 (18:38):
And I feel like I didn't know how to, you know,
turn it on and off like you do. So I
feel like I've really learned that from you. Oh good, yeah, see,
no bad things guys with your assessment.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
How about Lisa?
Speaker 12 (18:50):
Yeah, So for Lisa, one thing that I learned about
you is I didn't know that you didn't start in
radio and the way that you use your background to
make your judgment and your decisions, like with your pr background.
I didn't know that about you, and knowing that now
makes so much more sense. The way that you run
through your decisions and you know, assess.
Speaker 18 (19:10):
Things, So that makes sense. To me now.
Speaker 12 (19:12):
But something that I learned from you is that sometimes
kindness is the best take. Sometimes to make a decision
about something, just be kind. I've fallen into that before,
where I've just been angry or annoyed or something and
I feel like thinking about it in the like, thinking
back on it, I should have just been kind.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And I feel like you are very very good at that.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Thanks, Riley, I.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Have to agree. I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah, whenever I need a perspective or an opinion, I
always go to Lisa because you always give good advice
and always in a kind way.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
You know, Lisa off the air I was talking to,
Riley says, yeah, I was, you know, when I first
got here, I'm so nervous because I mean, Billy and
Lisa you were like god to me.
Speaker 12 (19:55):
Oh so it took me a while to like kind
of work up the courage to really talk to you
guys like people.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Well, you weren't supposed to make eye contact with this, Okay,
how about Justin?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Okay?
Speaker 12 (20:08):
So what I learned about Justin, and I learned this
very quickly from him, is just learn from your mistakes.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Like he says that all the time.
Speaker 12 (20:16):
When I first started and I'd be like, I feel
like I'm messing up. He'd be like, well, it doesn't
matter if you're messing up, just learn from it. Especially
when I was learning the board, that was his number
one thing. And then something that I learned from you
is honestly just everything, like you're I want to be
half the producer that you are. Coming into this job,
I didn't know what I wanted to do, and like
looking over your shoulder every day, I've been.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Like, I want to be like Justin. He's he's the
best producer on the show. I feel like you need
to hear this today.
Speaker 12 (20:45):
But like you, I just want to be half half
the producer.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You know, I try to be humble.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You were watching a master at work, and you probably
also learned about laser hair removal from Justin.
Speaker 12 (20:58):
Oh absolutely, I learned silky smooth.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
It's my self care era.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
As I like to say thank you for those words,
I'm afraid to ask, how about all good things?
Speaker 12 (21:08):
So something I learned about Winnie, I learned this very quickly.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
You have a soft side.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Oh thanks.
Speaker 12 (21:14):
When I first started, she literally said I'm the bitch,
so look out for me, and I was like okay,
and then I was waiting for the shoot to drop
and it never did.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, I think she likes me guys like you.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
It is a miracle. Actually, she Whinny infamously hates everybody
but you. She does have a soft spot.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
For I know.
Speaker 18 (21:32):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It never happened.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Well, you came into the job wanting to learn, so
I think when you want to be a part of
something and learn from the people. But like, that's who
you are, and that's why we love you so much.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
Right, we take this seriously, and that you took it
seriously meant a lot to us.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Thanks, and think of it. She's a gen zer.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah, I know everything we talked about about gen zers.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
So it's a party.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
She's not done talking about me.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
You have more something I learned from Winnie. Just stix
to your opinions and don't doubt your instinct.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Thank you. I'll always teach you that. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I could to learn from her that you can have
a pause between the thought and so if you have
a thought, you don't have to speak that.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Oh I don't necessarily, I don't practicily I preach on
how far?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Kiss What Okay, So this moment from twenty twenty four
is going to take us back to May, actually the
end of May, and I think it was Memorial Day
weekend right.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Justin Yeah, and it was all about neighbors who were fighting. Now,
we had this story on the show, you know up
in Maine. You know, they were fighting with each other,
and that led to our topic time. We do that
every morning at seven forty brand new topic every day,
and we ended up getting some crazy neighbor stories, neighbor nightmares.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
What's worse? And yet what's better than that?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Right, Lise, exactly?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
We got some good ones. Number eight, try and what's
your story?
Speaker 15 (22:57):
Hey guys, good morning to you. Thanks for taking my call. Yeah,
my neighbor next door, my dad has always hit for
years that he's buying on everyone. He's crazy. None of
us believe my dad. We're just like, ah, he's a
lonely old guy next door. Nothing wrong. Everyone goes to
the office in my house except for me, who takes
a vacation day. The neighbor must have seen all the
(23:19):
cars leave the driveway and I'm outside with the dog
and the neighbor's an he's a lonely guy. He's in
our driveway with binocular The dog goes nuts and he's
just standing there. And we live on a cul de
sac spying into people's homes. Wow, call running police. They
(23:40):
do nothing. They just said, you know, it's you know,
we have crazy neighbors. But he's technically not doing anything
because he's on like the more sidewalk side of the street,
on near the curb, but not a bad guy. Hasn't
done anything yet. But now we all believe my dad
and we're a little more agile with him. But it's
kind of crazy that these people can live right next
(24:02):
door and sometimes even though they seem lonely, they can
be doing a little bit more mischieff thing.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So your dad was right all along.
Speaker 15 (24:09):
It was for years, but I guess he's been like this,
So yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Well, when you were standing there with you don't when
you were standing there and you saw him with the binoculars,
did you confront him?
Speaker 15 (24:21):
I took a picture of it, and I was like,
I don't know, Like does this guy have a gun?
Like he's big on like he's big on his Vietnam
story and he was wearing one of those hats.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Okay, I did, I did.
Speaker 15 (24:34):
The dog ran right up to him, started barking. I
have a big black lab. She ran up starts barking
at him, and I was just like, hey, what's you know,
what's going on? And all of a sudden he didn't
say anything, quickly turned around and just walked right back
inside his garage, closed the door like nothing happened. But
it's really kind of scary that those people lived lived,
you know, right nearby, you know, so'd be careful.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It's best not to engage. I think you did the
right thing. Let's go to Michelle next. Michelle, you got
a crazy.
Speaker 20 (25:05):
Oh yeah, don't mind the rain. I'm on Morse Bulevarde
and it's crazy. I've got a guy I live in
the city and when.
Speaker 16 (25:11):
It snows, were you stay savors up and whatnot?
Speaker 20 (25:14):
And so there's a lot of older people in the
nable Wood that.
Speaker 15 (25:17):
Don't have cars.
Speaker 16 (25:18):
You can hear him at four in the morning.
Speaker 20 (25:20):
Starting to shouble and he takes all the snow sidewalk.
Speaker 14 (25:24):
And buried in any paw that anywhere near his house.
Speaker 21 (25:29):
And you can't even see your car.
Speaker 20 (25:31):
And if you stubble it out and leave.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
They'll bury it in again.
Speaker 20 (25:35):
He goes like streets down, get the snow, walks back
and will kill just out of fight, out of whatever.
Speaker 15 (25:43):
Not even in front of his house.
Speaker 16 (25:45):
You can be eight houses down and he's burying you in.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
He buries your car.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Story very like you can't imagine.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, a lot of crazy neighbor stories come from the snow. Yes,
people trying to find a parking space, especially in the city.
I could be here because it's really raining out, I
mean so much so there are ducks all over the
property here outside the I just noticed that. I looked
out the window.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Well, going back to that first callar there, every neighborhood
has a busy body, have a nosy neighbor, you know,
which is not always a bad thing. Sometimes they're good.
I actually live with one, you know, my mother in
law downstairs. She's kind of a busy body and she's harmless,
but she knows everything that's going on. Yeah, she talks
to all the neighbors, to the gossip, you know what
I mean. Yeah, So it's not always a bad thing.
(26:30):
But when that dude, that guy is creepy.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, we used to call those a nettigom. She's a
nettigo busy body. You know that, Nonny. She's an interesting character.
We have another Michelle that's back to back. Michelle's Michelle,
you have a good one. Give us some juicy neighbor stories.
Speaker 16 (26:47):
Hi, how are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
We're great, Michelle. Go ahead.
Speaker 16 (26:51):
So I had these neighbors, this husband and wife across
the street from us, and I have basically twin girls,
and we have these flock of like geese come in.
And there was one in particular that was basically dying
and it was laying in the middle of the street,
and then there were some other ones that came in.
(27:12):
Long story short, I caused animal control. They told me
to get a rake and basically go over shoe them off.
So I go outside, I get the rake and start
shooting them off. My neighbors open their windows and start screaming,
you're abusing those peas, You're abusing those peace like they
were nuts. And so I started laughing because there was
(27:36):
a lot of drama between us. And so the next
thing I know, these squad cars come flying onto our
streets with the lights on and they stop me. They
corner me, and they're basically like this is physical abuse
on the geese.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 16 (27:56):
They come out.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
The next thing you.
Speaker 16 (27:58):
Know, the police are over there. I've got police holding
me to the side. The police that were across the
street came over and said, you have got the craziest
blanking neighbors and you need to be you know, you
need to be on guard.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I got to tell you though, you probably looked a
little abusive from a distance with the rake pushing the
geese aside, but they didn't realize you I wasn't.
Speaker 16 (28:23):
Okay, Yeah, I wasn't pushing them, and I was just
kind of running the rake along the ground, and you know,
they were looking for any reason to call the police
on me.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
It was.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, yeah, cop callers. Those are those another party that.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Never gets better. If they have a neighbor that calls
the cops on you, that's it. That's never going to
get better. They want to dial nine one one so bad,
it's on speed dial. They wanted to get excited, you know.
And then and then they hide in their house and
they watch out the of the current and they peak
to see when the cops come. It's the worst.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
But billion you mentioned a couple of minutes ago. Neighbor
when you were younger used to steal your balls. That's
a true story. Yeah, and alone.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
So we had a.
Speaker 13 (29:03):
Neighbor growing up as kids, and she did exactly what
Billy's neighbor did and.
Speaker 21 (29:07):
Would keep all of our balls.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
And she did this for the years, much older lady, and.
Speaker 13 (29:13):
One day she passed away, and when they were having
an open house, we all walked in and found all
the balls.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Actually them. I even remember the woman's name, Guccatine. Gujautine
was her name, Kujia teen. Yeah, she was, you know,
not from this country.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
And it's so crazy to the Sandlot, you know, which
is you know, set many years ago. That's the basis
of the movie. Yes, but it was a dog. But yeah,
that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
This was my grandmother's neighbor.
Speaker 19 (29:41):
And when we were little, we used to play baseball
and soccer in her yard and her neighbor used to
take our balls and would hide them. And then she
passed away a couple of years ago and we found
almost all of them in her basement and we put
(30:01):
one on her grave.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
On her grave. Yeah, that's morbid, but imagine how miserable
you have to be to take a young kid's ball
that they're playing with.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
That I totally agree with you. But to Justin's point
that he made earlier, you never know what's going on
with people, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
I mean, you can get it mad and you know
what it's it's most times it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
What's happening totally it's.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
You know, it helps to look at the other side
of it. You know, maybe something happened. They could be
miserable for some reason.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
You don't know. I could almost see taking the ball.
It's annoying. It's in your yard. It may have bounced
off your house or something. But to collect them, Yeah,
that's weird. It's weird. Let's go to Sonia next. Sonya,
you're up next.
Speaker 20 (30:43):
Good morning everyone.
Speaker 21 (30:44):
So I live in Rocken, and before I live in Brockton,
I lived in the city and I grew up as
you never touch other people's stuff. So in Rockton, I
own a single family home and I live on a
two way street that happens to be like an L shape.
So I live at that ninety degree angle been a
single family home, and the family that's on i'll call
it the left side of me. It's their entire family,
(31:07):
it's a multi family, and whenever it's snow, they come
out forgive me as a gang and they pile all
their snow up from their side of the street to
my side of the street, which happens to be my fence.
And it will probably be the fifth time that I
have to replace that sense. So I have a very
strong dislike for that's what can I do? What can
(31:31):
I do?
Speaker 20 (31:31):
They come out in a gang and it's like, you're know,
three floors and there's probably like I don't know, four
on each floor, and they come out and they clean
out their driveway and they actually pile it up across.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
The street on my thingd all you can do is
bring in your own gang, right when it's like, call
all your relatives, all your friends, and then now you've
got the two of you piling on either side of
the street.
Speaker 17 (31:57):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's Top twenty four.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Kids went away. So every year we have the iHeart
Radio Music Festival that happens in Vegas every single year, right.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Lise exactly. And this year we decided to turn it
into a fun game. And we know how much Billy
loves games, right.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, And in this game, I may have made my
worst mistake in the history of my broadcast career.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
This actually could have been number one for me.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
It is incredible.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Number seven time It's paint time, Baby name time though,
I'll be there. That's a good time. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
A lot of hits here from these artists. So how
well do you know their songs? Don't be nervous. I'll
play a little bit of their hook, a hook of
one of their songs. All you have to do it
is finished the lyric. I should mention if you're listening,

Speaker 2 (33:16):

But you got this one. Bill, really think it's just.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Never heard that song?
Speaker 4 (33:34):

there should be a JV level, you know, they club level.

It's just embarrassing for us because you know how many
times I have I've had to sit and I don't
mind it and listen to Bill about the New Kids.
He was there when they recorded their music. He went
to Ireland with them. What it was, I wasn't listening.
Speaker 22 (35:01):

I meant to take me to church.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I can't see producer Riley, and then I'm sure she's
shaking her head. I mean, it's unbelievable. You're zero for two, dude.
I think I frightened producer a little bit. You don't
frighten anybody, No.

Speaker 17 (37:11):
Now fack to Billy and Lisa's Top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss one.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Wait, okay, so everybody knows about Lisa Dunovan's book Club.
In fact, it's celebrated its second year in twenty twenty four,
and you had Mel Robbins come.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
In list right, because we're planning the next year. And
Mel Robbins came in. She's a new book out called
The Let Them Theory. The book club is now sold out.
We have thousands of people coming to this event to
see Mel Robins.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
It'll be the first Lisa's book Club of twenty twenty four,
number six best selling author, motivational Speaker, one of the
biggest podcasts in the world, and just ridiculous. Mel Robbins,
I can't believe you're sitting.
Speaker 23 (37:50):
In the studio. Hi, I can't either, because I've spent
years and years of my life in my car listening
to you, So it's really cool to be here in person.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
I've I've never in my life seen more sales people
come up and want their picture taken with anyone else,
but Mel's here, and you're taking over the world. And
I'm so happy you're here because we have a big announcement.
You will actually be coming to Lisa's book Club in
January because you have a new book out.
Speaker 23 (38:19):
Yeah, so we're going to be doing a live event.
This is the first live event I've ever done in
Boston that I've ever done period, and I'm really excited
to be partnering with you here in my hometown. We
raised our kids here for twenty six years, and our
studios for the podcast is in Seaport, and to be
(38:40):
able to kick off not only a book tour, but
the mission that I have to really help you understand
how important.
Speaker 18 (38:50):
It is to let go of the things that you.
Speaker 23 (38:53):
Can't control and to stop trying to control the people
in your life.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Event is my deechlist.
Speaker 23 (38:59):
Okay, I don't know what's happen. It's like the vibes
in the room.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
You're outrage is.
Speaker 23 (39:04):
And so I want to teach you how to let
go of what you can't control, and that is basically
the things happening around you and what other people are doing.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Thinking, they're saying.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
So the book is called the Let Them Theory, yep,
and that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 23 (39:19):
So the let Them Theory is very simple everybody, and
you're going to love it. You're going to get it immediately.
It's just two simple words. That's how it starts.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Let them.
Speaker 23 (39:27):
Anytime somebody's pissing you off. Can I say that on radios,
on podcasts? Okay, anytime somebody's making you mad, or you're frustrated,
or you feel your emotions taking over, just say let them.
You know, traffic is backing up on the masspect let them.
They're doing construction and the tunnel, let them. Your boss
is in a bad mood, let them. Your kids don't
(39:48):
want to do something with you that let them. Because
what you're going to start to realize is you allow
other people and things beyond your control to stress you out,
to make you anxious. And what happens is is it
robs you of all your time and energy. And your
time and energy is the most precious resource that you
have in life, because where you put your time and
(40:08):
energy is what you experience in your life. And what
I'm going to prove to you both in this book
and in this incredible event. You better get your tickets.
This sucker is going to sell out. We are already
getting hammered about how do we get which you're going
to tell everybody, and we're going to be doing live
Q and A. You're going to feel so motivated afterwards
because you're not only going to understand that you have
(40:29):
been unknowingly giving your power to other people. You navigate
your life by what they say, how they feel, and
you don't have to live like that. There's a better way.
And every time you say let them, you recognize that
this is something that you don't have to control. And
then part two of the theories, you go, let me,
(40:49):
let me focus on what I'm going to say, what
I'm going to think, and what I'm going to do,
because that's where your power and I think we've all been.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Through that we do, and it instantly calms you down
when you like, let them treat me this way, because
I can decide whether I want to be with them
or not.
Speaker 23 (41:04):
Yes, yeah, so a lot of times in relationships. For example,
so I've got two, I've got twenty five, twenty three,
and nineteen year old kids, and when I look at
somebody who's dating right now, and there's a real, you know,
fear about being the single friend or the fear about this,
and so we accept less than we deserve. And here's
what you need to know. People's behavior is the truth.
(41:24):
So how somebody treats you is how they feel about you.
Do not listen to somebody's words, watch what they do.
And if somebody is treating you in a way that
is not what you deserve, let them because they're revealing
who they are. And here's the thing. Most of us
then grip and we make excuses, and you know, we
start to get desperate and clingy, or we tiptoe around
(41:46):
like the way that somebody's feeling. No, just let them
be and then say, let me decide what I'm going
to do about this. Are these table scraps what I'm
going to accept in my life?
Speaker 12 (41:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
And it's amazing because the messages you send are received
in such a warm way. Since we mentioned you were
coming in, I mean, we have been inundated with talkbacks
and with phone calls justin you want to give one
to us right now.
Speaker 10 (42:12):
I'm so excited. I just got my ticket to Lisa's
Book Club to see Mel Robbins, and I just can't
believe it. Mel Robbins has completely changed my life. Her
book The Five Second Rule, her Instagram, her podcast. I
just love her so much. She's so inspirational and I
cannot wait to read her new book.
Speaker 18 (42:34):
I'm like a little kid on Christmas morning.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
So when does the book actually come out?
Speaker 23 (42:39):
The book comes out December twenty fourth, So I'm a
last minute chopper, so for all of us are going
to be out down on December twenty fourth. You know,
your sister who's annoying doesn't need a sweater, She needs
to learn how to take.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
This is what amazes me. When do you come up
with these thoughts? And how you know the five second
rule and the slithering them?
Speaker 23 (43:00):
Oh my gosh, I'll tell you how I have learned
everything that I talk about the hard way by screwing
up my own life, Like I learned the five second rule,
which is basically this thing that sounds so dumb. You
count backwards like NASA launches a rocket five four three
two one and then move because I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Get myself out of bed.
Speaker 23 (43:18):
I mean fifteen years ago, when my husband was in
the restaurant business in the Boston area, I lost my job.
It was two thousand and eight. We all had pretty
lousy year two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight. Yeah,
the leans hit the house. We found ourselves almost a
million dollars in debt. I was unemployed, our kids three
kids ages ten and under. And you know, there are
gonna be times in your life where you don't know
(43:40):
if you have what it takes to face the things
that are going on, And in that time in my life,
the simplest things from opening up my bills which I
couldn't pay, to telling my friends the truth about what
was going.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
On, to just getting out of bed.
Speaker 23 (43:56):
I mean, we all know, laying in bed and staring
at the ceiling and ruminating about your problems and then
looking at your phone. It's not helping, but we can't
seem to make ourselves do it. And so it kind
of was one of these moments where I hit my
own rock bottom. Am I gonna lose everything that I
care about? Because I was facing these problems, you know,
like a champ. I was drinking myself into the ground.
(44:19):
I was blaming everything on Chris and I was just
letting the anxiety consume me. And I just had this thought,
maybe if I moved fast enough, maybe if I launched
myself like a rocket, I'd actually move faster than the
anxiety that was hitting. And it worked. And so I
just started sharing things that were working for me. And
here's what I found. Every single one of us knows
(44:42):
the little things that we could do to be kinder
to ourselves, to take better care of ourselves.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
We don't do it.
Speaker 23 (44:48):
And when you start to find little tools, whether it's
saying let them, just let them, Like we know we
don't want other people to stress us out. We know
that we'd rather feel a little bit more peaceful and
power full in our lives.
Speaker 3 (45:01):
I know that I don't want to nitpick at my
husband like this.
Speaker 23 (45:03):
Has been life saving for my marriage, for my relationship
with my kids. Because who pisses you off the most
the people you love, Like I think family is in
your life to teach you how to love people you
don't like, right, and they just let them. They're not changing,
So why create frustration, let them be who they are,
and you'll learn that your relationships get better. And we
(45:24):
all have this need to control everything because it makes
you feel safe, but we control the wrong things. And
when you really just start to let people be who
they are and you let people live their lives, your
life gets better.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Which seems so simple, but it's so impactful. It is
so if you engage in it. Yeah.
Speaker 17 (45:43):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
On kids, what do we Okay? Here we go the
five biggest moments on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show
for the year twenty twenty four and at number five. Strangely,
this past year and without much notice, Lisa, I might
add I suddenly took a trip to Africa. It was
my wife, Michelle's life alone dream and I would call
(46:08):
in justin every morning right from Africa. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
People were so invested in this, you know, because you know,
we thought you were gonna get eaten by a lion,
so did I You know, some of us kind of
hoping that something might happen. But you're an amazing trip
and yeah, you did daily check ins.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, and one check in, Lisa was telling everybody and
you about the night I spent in a treehouse in
the middle of the bush in Africa.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Number five, Here we go. Billy Costa is in Zimbabwe.
He's on an African safaris. People that don't know. It's
his wife, Michelle's dream to go. He made it happen.
He's been having a great time. He was very nervous,
and every day he's been checking in with pictures and
videos and calling into the show too.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
I think it's fantastic that Billy crawls in every day.
I love his stories and he's hysterical.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
If it was.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
Anyone else, it might not be as impactful and funny.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
But it's Billy. We got to think about that. Billy
Prima Donna Costa.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
I think for the final time this week we will
get a check in from mister Billy Costa and Zimbabwe. Dude.
How is the Love Nest?
Speaker 18 (47:14):
Oh man?
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Before I get to the Love Nest, just as I
called in and got the producer Riley on the phone,
when I tell you, close to twenty elephants, probably three
different families just walk within feet of me behind me
and came to the watering hole which is right behind
our tents, our rooms. Anyway, there's that. Now let's talk
about treehouse love. Okay. Well back it up, Billy.
Speaker 4 (47:37):
So yesterday you told us that they surprised you and
told you they were bringing you and Michelle to a treehouse,
that you were going to sleep in a love nest
and be all alone all night long.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Right. Yeah, to set the scene, we were out on
Africa afternoon safari and the plan was right after the safari,
before they set up camp for cocktails for sun said.
We took off in a different truck and we were
brought right to the treehouse, which, by the way, I
(48:07):
need to mention, is not near anything. I mean, it
is so far into the wild and all of a
sudden you see it off in the distance as you're
approaching it in the jeep. I don't even know how
these guides that work with us every day, I don't
know how they find their way around. But anyway, we
get to the treehouse. We walk up the stairs and
(48:27):
at the top of the stairs there are three flights
to this treehouse, and we get to the top there
are two gentlemen greeting us with cocktails. Dinner was ready
to go, we had a drink, we sat down, we
had dinner, while the animals were you know, screaming, crying,
talking to each other in the night, and it was amazing.
(48:49):
Michelle at one point turned to me she said, this
is the best night of my entire life. There, she said,
I would rather be here right now than any five star,
world class hotel on the planet.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
This is it, well that it is that you had
a five star I mean, it doesn't get any better
than that.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Yeah, it's called the Hide. And they do such a
good job. Understand, when you sit for dinner right after sunset,
you probably have seven or eight weight people who bring
your meal over and place it down simultaneously, like in concert.
And they do the same thing at breakfast. They do
the same thing at lunch. It is and while you're
sitting there again, I'm looking at probably nineteen elephants right now,
(49:39):
like maybe ten feet away, And constantly as you sit
and eat, you watch various species of animal going by
and just doing their thing. I was talking to justin
off the air a couple of minutes ago, and it
suddenly hit me yesterday, I said, the animals are also
on safari, like as curious as we are of them.
They are of.
Speaker 4 (50:03):
You can walk up.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
To a lion and the lion just sits there and
looks at you.
Speaker 4 (50:08):
What are the odds of that?
Speaker 3 (50:09):
It's so incredible, Billy?
Speaker 4 (50:14):
So Bill, what was what was up with Tubby Time?
I know you there are some pictures and videos on
the kiss Instagram of Billy giving a tour and what
the love nest?
Speaker 2 (50:23):
But you talked about Tubby Time there? How is that? Yeah?
In fact, I think within minutes ago, I think Michelle
posted that I did a whole tour, a walk through
the entire treehouse, so that's probably on. It's been posted
all of the sites back there. But anyway before oh yeah,
I'm glad you asked. Because the water system in this treehouse,
(50:44):
by the way, no electricity, okay, no electricity, And the
hot water system the water is in a tank just
outside the tent the treehouse, and what they do is
they put logs underneath and they set fire, so they
both basically put a campfire underneath the tank of water,
so that if you want to take a hot shower,
(51:04):
you have to take it before you go to bed,
otherwise the water will have cooled off by morning.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
That's incredible how they cook the food, but like your dinner, Like,
how do they cook that food?
Speaker 2 (51:17):
That's another great question. We were shocked. So we get there, right, Mikey,
and the table is set and they've got like Oi
dures and you know, cheese and vegetable platters to start,
and of course they had vodka in gin and wine
and whenever we you know, whatever your heart. So hey, Peter,
how Peter the world?
Speaker 18 (51:34):
That got bet.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
This giant cloth basket right and with a cloth pillow
of sorts that goes on top, and we're thinking, how
is the dinner in there? Right? How's it going to
stay hot? So I opened it up and to serve
Michelle dinner at the table and when I tell you,
I couldn't even it was so hot, and it had
been there for a while. I don't know what this
(52:00):
magic thing is, but I had to grab a cloth
just to pick up the plates and the containers. And
the dinner was fabulous. A little beef strogan off if
you will wait with beef.
Speaker 6 (52:12):
I thought you were a vegan.
Speaker 2 (52:14):
Yip, good question. When quiet? What are you doing? Sorry?
Speaker 3 (52:21):
Maybe it's because it was like in the treehouse. It
was like away.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
Sorry, I don't know exactly, yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 4 (52:30):
Yeah, So Billy, what were some of the sounds you
heard when you were, you know, at nighttime, not the
ones that you made you heard that good point.
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Time.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
I you know, I am not able to you know,
discern the difference between one animal in the dark. But
in the morning, the next the morning this morning, when
our guides and and Dunal showed up, I described the
sounds and they knew immediately what they were. We had
cheetah right outside the seats. Yeah, bad boons, elephants and
(53:14):
you did not know that chases right, Glad you mentioned it.
I turned to Michelle at one point because we saw
all the tracks in the morning, and so I said
to the naw, I said, wait a minute, cheetah, I said,
correct me if I'm wrong. Can't they climb trees?
Speaker 15 (53:34):
We're in a tree.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
And the answer is yes, they can, but they don't.
So I got to tell you about this tree. When
you're lying in bed right looking out at the wild.
You know, you have these giant green windows and you're
looking when you're lying in bed, you're looking out and
it's almost like you're at the omni theater because this
(53:59):
tree is so massive. It's four hundred years old, and
the trunks and the limbs are so thick, and they
run right through the treehouse and as you're looking out,
you feel like the tree is actually embracing you, like
you're lying in its arms, so to speak. It is
so magical. It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (54:20):
You sound like a different person.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
It's life changing. Yeah, it's life changing. Yeah, I am
now a bushman.
Speaker 4 (54:30):
Well, Billy, before we let you go, you know, before
we went on the air, you called me on my
phone and we were talking about, you know, this segment,
and then you asked me what the big entertainment stories
were and I kind of hesitated, and then I you know,
I said, well, you know, Ethol Kennedy passed away at
ninety six years old, and you said, oh, and it
kind of weird, like, oh, obviously, rest in peace. But
(54:51):
that was the lead one, and it's and it hesitated
because there's a bigger entertainment story that you don't know about. Yeah,
are you ready for We covered that yesterday. This just
broke today. We've been talking about it all day on
the show today. You're not gonna believe this. Make sure
you're sitting down, but Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are
(55:14):
getting back together.
Speaker 2 (55:16):
It's crazy. Okay, I can't even know. I can't even
hear that. I don't want to talk about it. I
refuse to talk about it. I'm done with them.
Speaker 6 (55:26):
They pulled the divorce papers and they're gonna renew their vows.
Speaker 2 (55:31):
No way.
Speaker 3 (55:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (55:33):
The big story is that Ben wrote a handwritten letter
said that the j LO and the parent that rekindled it.
Speaker 2 (55:41):
Oh my god, I'm gonna puke in my mouth.
Speaker 4 (55:43):
He's upset. Well, Billy, we don't want to ruin your
trip to Africa, so we're just kidding. It's only a joke.
Please stop thinking about entertainment reports.
Speaker 3 (55:52):
I enjoy your last moments in Africa.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
Yeah, and we know Bill.
Speaker 4 (56:00):
For jes But Bill, we love you, and this is
your last update from Africa. So we'll see you next
week and you when you return, have a safe trip back.
Speaker 2 (56:09):
And by the way, Mikey, thank you so much for
joining the team for the week. You guys, I heard
a lot of it and you gotta sounds fabulous. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (56:16):
I had a great time with Mikey. He's a good guy.
Speaker 2 (56:19):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (56:20):
Yeah, last update from Bill cost though we love you,
Uncle Bill, will see you next week.
Speaker 24 (56:24):
I can't be the only one who woke up today
and realized this is the last check in from Billy
before he comes back. And I gotta say I'm loving
these Africa updates. I'm going to miss them.
Speaker 1 (56:36):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss.
Speaker 15 (56:41):
So what are we.
Speaker 2 (56:42):
Okay, you have to love this story, Okay. Lisa Dunovan
is one of the kindest, gentlest person I know. She
decided justin she wanted to adopt a dog. Right, sounds simple?
So far sounds simple?
Speaker 5 (56:53):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (56:54):
So I went to the MSPCA up in New Hampshire
because they had a dog. I was interested in a
Jack Russell terry. They're really hard to find, especially to
adopt one. So I show up at the shelter and
I got into a fight.
Speaker 2 (57:07):
With an elderly woman outside the shelter. It was awesome, whinning.
Speaker 6 (57:11):
There's a thief on the show. We fight old people.
Speaker 2 (57:15):
Number four. You know, on this show, every so often
we have a story that happens to one of us. Well,
of all the people, Lisa Dunovan one of the sweetest
people we know. Almost had a fist fight.
Speaker 4 (57:29):
And if you would ask anybody about the Billy and
Lisa Show and you would say, which, which member do
you think almost got in a fight?
Speaker 2 (57:37):
Who would you think?
Speaker 3 (57:38):
Yeah, I know her name starts with the wa, it
starts with w ends with any of all people.
Speaker 2 (57:46):
Lisa had done a parking lot, no less what happened.
Speaker 3 (57:50):
It was like a scene out of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
So for the past ten years, just to give you
a backstory, I've always loved Jack Russell Terriers. I've loved them.
I've always wanted to get one, and I've always wanted
to adopt a dog from a rescue. So on Friday,
I've been searching and searching and searching for all, you know,
(58:11):
all these different websites of different rescue organizations, and I
found one and it was a two year old Jack
Russell Terrier and it was at the MSPCA up in
Nevan's in Mathuin. That's the location. They have locations all over,
but that was the one. So I never told anyone,
and I saw it on Friday and they opened yesterday.
(58:31):
Their adoption hours were from twelve to three. That's when
you could go. They don't. You know, you can't make
a reservation, you just have to show up. So off
I go up to Mathuin. I'm in the parking lot
at you know, a half an hour early before they open,
sitting in my car. About ten minutes before twelve. I
get out of my car and I walk up to
the door. The door's locked because again it doesn't open
(58:54):
until noon. There's maybe another car too in the parking lot,
sort of parked where I am. And all of a
sudden and like all of these people get out of
their cars. So we're all waiting in line. But I'm
the first person in line, okay to go through the door.
So we start chit chatting with you know, each other,
everyone in line, and a woman two or three people
behind me says, oh, what are you here for? And
(59:17):
I said, oh, I'm here for the Jack Russell terrier, Chloe.
And she goes, that's the dog I'm here for. And
I was here before you in the parking lots.
Speaker 4 (59:28):
Oh boy, there we go.
Speaker 2 (59:30):
And she wasn't alone, right.
Speaker 3 (59:32):
No, she brought she brought back. She brought a friend.
And the woman starts laughing and she goes, you have
to let me in front of you because that's my dog.
And I was like, excuse me, and she was and
you know she was elderly, yes, okay, I mean she
(59:56):
was elderly. I don't know how old, but so so
I'm standing there and then a woman behind her goes,
I want that dog too.
Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
Oh God.
Speaker 3 (01:00:03):
I'm like, oh my god, like this is not happening
to me. I almost burst into tears. And I'm standing
there and she's not giving up. She's like, you need
to let me in front of you. I was here
before you in the parking lot. And I was like, okay,
well what do I do? Like, what do I do? Like,
what's the right thing to do? So I left. I
(01:00:24):
let her in front of me. I was like, you
know what, I can't do this, and I burst into tears.
I got in the cry. I literally called Billy and
I burst into tears because I was like, wow, I
literally just was thrown down by another person over this
beautiful animal, and I'm hoping that she gets the dog.
I'm not no, but but here Winnie. Like all I
(01:00:44):
was thinking driving back was well, maybe maybe it's a
good thing that I didn't like basically get into a
fight with her in the parking lot, because what if
the dog wasn't even available, then we all look really silly. So,
you know, I hope that the dog went to a
good home, but I'm still so angry.
Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
You know, a couple of things. Do you know for
a fact she was there before you? A? And B
do we know for a fact that she got the dog?
Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
I don't know either of those. I just know that
I was sitting there half an hour before, and she
could have been in the parking lot. I have no idea.
I just know that I got out of my car
in the cold and was standing in the cold for
ten minutes before the door opened, and I was first
in line.
Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
Yeah, so two things here.
Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
I think you did the right thing, although you know,
every fiber of my being would want you to fight back.
But you did the right thing. You did the adult
thing right. But the other thing is that's a debate
in and itself. Okay, so she if she was there
before you in the parking lot in her car, and
then you come up and you're at the door first,
(01:01:47):
but she was in the parking lot first, who's first exactly?
Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Well, that's your opinion. I don't know. I don't know
the answer to that.
Speaker 8 (01:01:54):
Like geographically or biologically, whatever it is. If you're physically
at the door, that's where the line starts.
Speaker 6 (01:02:01):
The line isn't start in your car.
Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
You know what, You're right, that's true in the comfort
of her own car. The best rule of follow is
you ask yourself in situations like this, you ask yourself,
what would Winnie do and woman up against the wall
before she let her in front of It's going to
be in jail, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Like it just there was no upside for me. I
was gonna feel bad if I got the dog and
she didn't because she would have been staring at me
like how dare you? And then and then leaving. I
felt bad. So again I want to give a shout
out because I think that adopting a pet like you've done,
Billy is such an amazing thing. So I will continue
(01:02:43):
my search, but I do want to give a shout
out because that is the most beautiful facility up there,
the Nutting's Farm MSPCA facility. I was blown away.
Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
Yeah, so it's about one minute from my house. My
wife goes there a lot with my daughter to see
the animals. She's my daughter, Jema loves it. But you
want to hear then the best part about the story
not the best. But Lisa called me I think on
the way there, right, because she knew it was there
my house.
Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Yeah, I didn't see the call.
Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
I was with my daughter, but she was calling to say, Hey,
I'm going to get this terrier and I want to
come by the house and show you and the family.
Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
There's no dog there, no dog.
Speaker 6 (01:03:25):
It was a long drive back to Milton alone.
Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Wasn't it your family expecting a dog?
Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
No, they knew nothing about It was her decision.
Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
She's the mother of.
Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
The house and I'm glad I didn't say anything because
nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Yeah, but now we can launch an all out search
for an adoptable Jack Russell Terrier carrier. I didn't know
the terriers were in such high demand. And here dumb
with terriers, very frisky, very playful. It's sad to thinks
when looking I'll do the foose dogs are they're thinking
that In some countries, these dogs are eating.
Speaker 17 (01:04:00):
Now back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss One.
Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Wait, okay, we're in the top five and This next
one happened very recently. Most of you have listened to
the show. No Justin story or a lot of it.
I mean, okay, he was in and out of prison,
he had some problems, but look at him now. He's
a beautiful man. He is strapping exactly. He's going to
be next year's Man of the Year.
Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
Hope he is. Okay, he is our superhero. But Maria
Stefanos from Channel five heard about his story and then
decided to do a piece on him.
Speaker 4 (01:04:33):
And you know, at least for people that did not
see the piece, you can go to my Instagram right
now at justin Beeazy. It's the very first post. It's
pinned right at the top. Definitely a highlight for me
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
Four and it got really emotional. Number three, dude, you
were featured on Channel five twice last night at five
and again at eleven.
Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
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 6 (01:04:58):
Oh you have it a different it's different, Okay, we
need to see it.
Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Yeah, there's more of it. 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. So you guys know my story. I mean,
you know all the crazy stories. 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
(01:05:22):
of go into more detail was not easy to do,
but I thought it was important. It's important to get
that message out.
Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
And Maria did a beautiful job presenting it. Michelle and
I both cried on the couch, so a.
Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
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. She's living her
dream as a nurse, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
And then your dream together of owning a home and
having children.
Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
Yeah, oh, it's just really cool.
Speaker 25 (01:05:55):
Hey, justin just felt like I needed to call. The
story about you and Jen was incredible. The biggest one
and the biggest pot for me was that you got
you walked by people on the ground when you went
to the garden, and nobody that you work with knew
that that was you in the past. That was the biggest,
the most emotional part of watching that incredible story.
Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Keep up the great work.
Speaker 7 (01:06:15):
Yeah, as someone that works with you every day, we
talk about year past, but like I don't think it
always resonates how real it was for you, because for me,
it's a stories from like fifteen years ago, right.
Speaker 4 (01:06:26):
Yeah, 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, and I would
(01:06:48):
sleep on the bench and I would try to sleep,
get up. I'd go ask someone for a quarter to
call the detox at seven am and they would say, sorry,
justin no beds today, call back tomorrow. Oh, my God,
day after day. So I remember those moments. So, yes,
that's why I brought it up, because you know, we
go out a lot. Yeah, we're in Boston. We see
those people and I'm like, I don't think they retally understand.
Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
Yeah we do, trust me, we do. Now. Maria teased
the eleven o'clock because it was a totally separate piece
covering different materials. So how different was it.
Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
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. So I go more into detail. I mean,
you have to remember when I got clean with my wife,
I lived in a rooming house. We had no cars,
(01:07:42):
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. Yeah,
you know, 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.
Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
She never us me.
Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
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 2 (01:08:06):
So so I'm guessing and I probably ended pretty well.
Now she's sick as a dog. Oh God, bad timing
as a dog. Shout out to everybody. I justin.
Speaker 8 (01:08:15):
I don't usually watch Channel five News at five, but
I did because I wanted to see.
Speaker 15 (01:08:20):
You and hear your story.
Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
I am so proud of you.
Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
I just can't. I mean, you brought me to tears.
Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Keep up what you're doing and you are great.
Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
And again, I just I'm just so proud of you.
Take you, love you, but bye.
Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
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
talkbacks and there's even.
Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
More trained them.
Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
So well, then we go, we've trained them like they
saw my piece and they knew, oh.
Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
I got to leave a talk back. Yeah they did.
Speaker 21 (01:08:55):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
That's the Billy and Lisa show has a dedicated follower.
Speaker 6 (01:08:58):
I have to ask, did your parents watch my mother?
Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
My mother?
Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Did 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 a touchy subject. Yeah, I don't really talk about
my past.
Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
I hope he watches it.
Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
He will.
Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
He's super proud of me, I know, but you know,
it's it's tough man about your brother and my brother
did not message me yet. But he's a touchy, touchy subject.
Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
I gotta tell you though, And I don't want to
get involved, but if it's a touchy subject, your dad
should watch. I think he will. No, I know he will.
Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
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 2 (01:09:38):
So you go, yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
God, justin Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
Thank you, Thank you to everybody.
Speaker 17 (01:09:45):
Now that's really and Lisa's top twenty four moments.
Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Okay, this next one happened in October and it really
came out of left field. We do the Entertainment Report
a couple of times on the show every morning. By
the way, he say and Lisa, we talk about a
bunch of things. We got to talking about Bill Belichick
and the fact that he was dating a very young woman.
Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Right. We were joking around about it his new girlfriend,
and Winnie chimed in, like she always does.
Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
I said some things that apparently offended her.
Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Oh big time. It went national right Justin.
Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
Oh, it went everywhere, and I'll never forget. I was
in my ice bath like I do every night, and
I got out, looked at my phone and I saw
the post from Bill Belichick's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
I literally dropped my phone. Yeah, Winnie and Belichick's girlfriend
were now battling on social and I'm telling you, it
was on TMZ, it was on Inside Edition, it was
on Extra. It went everywhere number two. Okay, welcome into
the Billy and Lisa Show this morning and this morning
on the Billy and Lisa Show, we have ourselves a situation.
(01:10:50):
I think it's best to call it a situation Justin.
All I know is I got a call from Justin
and this never happens. He actually called me three times
and role because I couldn't answer the phone. I said, wow,
we just called through it two minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
Like what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
I said, this has got to be good. And then
I finally get him back, and before he even says
hello to me, he says, oh my god, Oh my god,
You're not gonna believe what's going on. So justin what's
going on?
Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
Yeah, I was in my ice bath that I do
every night, and I got out and I kind of
stand there and open my phone, kind of my routine,
and the very first thing that pops up is Bill
Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan Jordan Hudson.
Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
It's been a lot to talk about her.
Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
She's a cheerleader, former cheerleader, and you know she's dating Bill. Yes,
she's forty nine years older. That's kind of the story.
We've been talking about it. And when he made some
comments on the show on Monday about Jordan and her
cheerleading career, let me play it that for you real quick.
Speaker 8 (01:11:47):
She was Borgewater State cheerleader, which is division three, which
isn't even like competition level.
Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
I could have been, Bridgewater stated.
Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
So you know, if you're a regular listener of the
Billion Lisa Show, you know when he she like to
pop off at the mouth, and while Jordan was listening,
or someone that knows Jordan was listening, and she posted
a picture of her pointing a championship ring at the camera,
and she wrote, at Winny's World, I would like to
extend an invitation for you to attend the winter tryout
for the eight time national champion cheerleading program at BSU Cheerleading.
(01:12:21):
And since you are so confident that you can make
the team, as you stated live on the air, I'd
love for you to bring a kiss one away camera
crew to film your undeniable domination of our pathetic little
D three cheerleading program. I can't wait to see you
in January. Don't poke the bear and ps Winny kiss
my dot dot dot National Championship ring.
Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
Yeah, that's my favorite part right there, kiss my dot
dot dot National champion ring. Now here's the deal. Right
when the story broke that Bill Belichick was dating Jordan,
Jordan twenty four years old.
Speaker 6 (01:12:57):
How old's Bill, he's seventy two eight.
Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
Obviously, they expected people, right at least to talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
It, and people have been you know.
Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
They went very public. Yeah, I mean they expected that.
I don't think what Jordan expected was for somebody to
attack her cheerleading skills. Okay, she's a national champion.
Speaker 6 (01:13:19):
I didn't attack her skills.
Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Oh, you want us to play it again? Oh, I said,
was that you defend yourself.
Speaker 8 (01:13:25):
Bridgewater Steam cheerleader, which is division IREI, which isn't even
like competition level.
Speaker 6 (01:13:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty much saying I never think.
I never said it was pathetic. She said pathetic. I
never said that.
Speaker 7 (01:13:38):
Obviously, there's a level of athletics that then you need
to be a cheerleader. I'm not denying that. There's also
different realms of a cheerleader. There's the one that does
the flipping and the flying, and there's one that spots
and holds them.
Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
You weren't thinking about that at the time. How do
you know what I was.
Speaker 6 (01:13:52):
Cheerleaders in general? I think I work out. I go
to the gym down the street way better you a
lot of weightlifting. I have really strong legs.
Speaker 7 (01:14:00):
I could easily lift up a one hundred pound girl
and let her fly spotter.
Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
So you are going to accept I am.
Speaker 7 (01:14:07):
I'm not saying that I'm gonna be doing backflips and tumbling.
Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
You can't let us.
Speaker 6 (01:14:12):
This competition, but I can share. Give me a beat,
give me a.
Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Yeah, it's going to be the competition.
Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
I don't think the spatters have to talk.
Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
You never hear from them, right. And something else, I
think they're never allowed to be the captain.
Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
You never noticed the spotter, Jilly.
Speaker 19 (01:14:36):
It is why I'm so scared for you.
Speaker 10 (01:14:40):
Cheerleaders scare me in general, but d three cheerleaders, that's
more scary.
Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Good luck. You know, here's what I think. First of all,
you have challenged Jordan to come on the show, right.
Speaker 4 (01:14:54):
So I sent her our information. I invited her on.
So either Jordan was listening to our show or friends
of hers, maybe people from the cheerleading program. We'd love
to have her on. I center the information. She can
issue the challenge to Winnie live on the end.
Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
And I love that Belichick and Jordan and all of
those friends, their friends are listening to this show. Do
you know a couple of minutes ago, Kevin came down
the hall Kenny, I mean, Kenny came down the hall
from ZLX The Rich. The Rich certainly show and wants
to have Winnie on, like Winnie's going to be their
number one segment today.
Speaker 4 (01:15:27):
Yeah, I know, other sports stations in and around Boston
are also talking about the post. This post. Bill's talking
about it.
Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
One thing I'm not is scared. I gotta tell you.
You know, first of all, you have to accept the
challenge and enter the competition. But then I think you
counter challenge Jordan and challenge her to a powerlifting competition. Okay.
I mean then again, she didn't attack you.
Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
I didn't really see.
Speaker 6 (01:15:55):
I wasn't trying to be like outwardly like attacking her.
I was just saying that.
Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
I kind of think I kind of think that's what
the conversation was about.
Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Yeah, well, when you know what you said, you know it.
I know it, they know it.
Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yew Back to Billy and Lisa's top twenty four moments
of twenty twenty four on Kiss What.
Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
Okay, So every year when we do this, the best
moments of the previous year, in this case, it's the
best moments on the billion least the morning show for
the year twenty twenty four. And I think we were
all unanimous on this one. The number one moment had
to go to the Karen Reed trial. Right.
Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
We were devoted to it for months, everyone in the city,
that's all anyone was talking about. So it had to
have been our number one moment of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
And it went national. I mean, it was all the
news stations around the country were covering it. People were
outside the courthouse every day on both sides of the aisle,
so to speak.
Speaker 3 (01:16:50):
It's all anyone was talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
And we landed on this woman, Catherine Loftus, who was
covering the trial every single day. If there was a hearing,
Catherine came on the show the very next morning, right, Lise, exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
So this is our number one moment of the year, guys.
Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Because this was the very first time we had counselor
Catherine Loftus in the studio to break it all down
for us. Number one, The Karen Reid trial has everybody.
I mean, I got to tell you off the record,
the last couple of minutes off the air, we had
a zillion questions we're throwing at Katherine the Loftus. Catherine
has joined us in studio. She is a lawyer, has
(01:17:27):
been a lawyer for like ten years. Somehow, you've done
over one hundred videos on the Karen Retrow on TikTok
and by the way, on social you're known is note
my objection. That's right, Okay, Katherine, here's the deal. We
all you saw it a few minutes ago. We all
have so many questions about the Karen retraw. So I
want you, for starters anyway, to present the case foreur
(01:17:48):
and against and let us be the jury, and that
we can ask any questions we want.
Speaker 13 (01:17:53):
So I think you know, it's interesting, Billy, because there are,
like you said, there's two different sides to the case.
In if you're watching it close, it's almost as if
the two different cases. What the Comwealth is saying is
that on the night of January twenty eighth into January
twenty ninth, that Karen Reid and John O'Keefe were at
a bar in Canton. There were a number of people there.
(01:18:14):
They were invited back to the Albert's house, Brian Alberts House,
which is at thirty four fair of you, and that
in the intervening time between coming from the Waterfall bar
back to the house, that John O'Keeffe in fact never
went into the house, and that Karen Reid backed up
to him, into him and let him essentially hit him
and essentially left him.
Speaker 18 (01:18:35):
On the ground.
Speaker 6 (01:18:35):
That the prosecution, that's the prosecution side.
Speaker 13 (01:18:38):
That's the very base level explanation. But just to get
that out there, what the defense is saying is is
essentially too prong they have Right now, they're presenting what's
called a Boden defense, which is essentially they're attacking the
police investigation and all of the witnesses that we have
seen so far, the police officers, the firefighters, everyone who's testified.
(01:19:00):
They're attacking what they did on the scene, what they heard,
how they could elected evidence, how they stored it, because
at the end of the trial, what they'll ask the
judge is to instruct the jury that the omissions and
the police investigation was so significant that the jury should
factor that in.
Speaker 18 (01:19:16):
Now we have heard in the pre.
Speaker 13 (01:19:18):
Trial litigation about potentially a third party culprit, whether they're
going to be bringing in evidence that somebody else did
this inside the house that has not been presented in
court yet. And again the defense is not required to
put that on. It's the comwealth burden to prove whether
Karen Reid is guilty or not of the child is
brought against her. So there is a possibility that we
(01:19:40):
never even hear about a third party culprit, and the
defense really just hammers in on the police omissions and investigations.
Speaker 18 (01:19:47):
So it's been interesting.
Speaker 13 (01:19:49):
We're only in a week and a half and it's
pretty interesting already.
Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Do you think the video that they played the prosecution
played earlier this week or it may have been late
last week. Do you think that video kind of turned
a lot of people on the case changed their minds?
Speaker 18 (01:20:01):
Can I ask which video?
Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
The video in front of the house during the snowstorm,
when Karen was yelling and screaming and said the words
I hit him, I hit them. At least you can
hear that on the tape. You think that may have
swayed people one way or another.
Speaker 13 (01:20:15):
So from my recollection is you can't hear her on
the tape saying I hit him, I hit him.
Speaker 18 (01:20:20):
What you can see is.
Speaker 13 (01:20:21):
She's clearly distraught, she's clearly hysterical. You know, this snow
coming down, it's windy. It clearly paints a very picture
of a chaotic scene. But we do have testimony from
multiple firefighters and paramedics and one police officer that essentially
a scribe and guilt to her. Now, the defense has
been attacking that by saying that they all have at
(01:20:44):
least some sort of flaws in their memory because they
weren't written in their reports correctly. So again every time,
it's almost as if the calmwealth you know, scores a
little bit of a point, and then the defense takes
it away.
Speaker 18 (01:20:56):
So it's it's kind of even. I would say, as
of right now.
Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
You know what's really cool that's going on right now?
I think in a real trial, the jury should get
to ask questions. And now we're the jury and we
get to ask questions. Go lies, So.
Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
You set up the scene basically the basics. What is
Karen Reid's defense, Like, what does she say happened that night?
Speaker 15 (01:21:19):
So she.
Speaker 13 (01:21:21):
In court, she's not saying anything yet, Okay. So and
that's what I try to tell my followers when I'm
talking on my page is that I'm not I don't
try to convince anybody of one side or the other,
but just really try to break down what we've seen.
Because what we have seen pre trial is that these
allegations that something else happened in the house, that he
was killed in a physical altercation.
Speaker 18 (01:21:43):
There's been discussions about a dog being involved.
Speaker 13 (01:21:46):
We haven't actually seen that presented in court yet. So
I think it's important that we relying on what the jury,
because the jury, at the end of the day, isn't
looking at what's on Twitter. Or a blogs or people
are saying they're deciding the evidence in front of them.
So right now, the only thing the defense is doing
is attacking, attacking, attacking.
Speaker 18 (01:22:00):
Every witness that the comwealth puts on.
Speaker 13 (01:22:02):
They're attacking their credibility, They're attacking their ability to be
fair and unbiased, and whether when they talk quite a
bit about what they put in the reports, why they
didn't put them in. Every lawyer knows, every police officer knows,
every firefighter knows, you have to write. If you hear something,
you have to put in a report, because if you
don't put it in a report, the reliability is reduced.
(01:22:24):
So that's essentially right now, the defense is just attacking
the police investigation. It's to be seen whether they'll actually
introduce evidence of a third party culprit.
Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
It does seem like a combination of first responders and
police officers on the scene that night really kind of
messed a lot of stuff up. I mean, like really
stupid mistakes.
Speaker 13 (01:22:46):
I think from my perspective, looking at the police officers,
the detectives, lieutenants responding, I think, the firefighters and the paramedics,
my evaluation is they're being pretty forthcoming, you know, they're
there to save John O'Keeffe, you know, So their goal
isn't to really preserve the scene.
Speaker 18 (01:23:05):
It's not to get statements, it's.
Speaker 13 (01:23:07):
To make you know, they get a call that there's
an unconscious person. So you know, that's not their primary goal.
Their primary goal is life saving.
Speaker 18 (01:23:15):
When you talk.
Speaker 13 (01:23:16):
About the police and we talk about how they're collecting
evidence and understanding that there's a plastic red solo cops
and the problem is is that it just makes everything
look messy. It's not standard, it's not normal. And even
if the scene is chaotic, the weather is crazy, there
(01:23:39):
have to have been some alternative options as to how
you collect that that that evidence, and they didn't do that,
which just quite frankly opens the door for attack from
the defense.
Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
Right because everything could be tainted, right.
Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Yeah, And you said it a couple of minutes, and
we have to repeat, there's only one victim here, and
that's that's great. So that's the bottom.
Speaker 18 (01:24:00):
And it's been unfortunate.
Speaker 13 (01:24:02):
And I think that in all of this, I think
the fact that he has lost his life and however
it happened is really it's almost become secondary to what
else is going on, and it's unfortunate because you have
a family, you have two kids that he was raising.
So I think it's important to remember real Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
Okay, so the Karen Reid trial gets the number one
moment of twenty twenty four. I need to tell you
when the trial starts again in April, and apparently it will.
It's been delayed. It will happen in April. We're going
to be on top of it again.
Speaker 12 (01:24:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
We will cover it the same way. Catherine Loftus will
be back in studio with us to help us sort
of understand what's going on in the courtroom. But you
can also relive all of the twenty twenty four moments
on the podcast right justin.
Speaker 4 (01:24:42):
